JOTTINGS FROM

By RALPH M. MBRPHHTT
Hereism ard Heart

1t is said of q young Canadian
lieutenant who died in especially
gallant action somewhere In France
that he left a will giving all Of his
property to a little blind child al
most unknown to him
Hereism Is not quality In it
self! 1t is the fruit of many good
qualities When yen see true cear-
age anywhere you may look back
OF II f5r 8 kindly heart-and a high
sense of honor They are always
there.
1t Is se4ashHess that makes COW
ards of US
Bravery Is net beFnda~a mgmeHt
It does net. spring eHt4uf meaan ess
Of soul. Mere physical reckless
ness, which may be mostly result
of ignorance and excitement, may
develop anywhere at any moment;
bue true courage that deliberately
sacrifices self fer others, Is very
different, and Is the product emily
of leng seif-deIAa1, Of ePen-heaTted-
ness and gHig#eBed sympatA3es.
The gallant death of this brave
lieutenant has developed the fact
that his heFeism was not q thing
of the moment. It did net spring
from sudden Impulse. Ii was d part
Of his thought and feeling. He ever
had concern fer others less fGrtu-
nate than himself. and his hand and
heart had been trained to go out
to Them
His interest In the little blind
child began years age. Her pit
table heipIessHess had touched his
heart. Her eheerfu1ness under her
dreadful tnfrmity powerfully APP
pealed to him. He was sending her
to school. And he has provided
for her In his wifi.
ffis last gallant act, In which he
gave hts life, was only fruit-the
earlier generous instances were the
seed.

and enterprising, had secretly
formed the same conclusion, it was
a question of who got there first
