A BONEHEADED HERO
Was the Boy Who Stood on the Burn
ing Deck, Says Irwin S. Cobb.

The boy who stood on the burning
deck has been played up as an ex-
ample of youthful heroism for the
benefit of the young Of our race ever
since Mrs. Felicia Dorothea Hemans
set him down in black and white. l
deny that he was heroic. insist
that he merely was feeble-minded.
Let US give this youth the careful
once-over: The scene is the battle
of the Nile. The time is August,
1898. When the action of the piece
begins the boy stands on the burning
deck whence all but him had fled.
You see, everyone else aboard had
had sense enough to beat it, but ne
stuck because his father had posted
him there. There was no good pur-
pose he might serve by sticking, ex-
cept to furnish added material for the
poetess, but like the leather headed
Young imbecile that he was he stood
there with his feet getting warmer
all the time, while the flame that Lit
the battles wreck shone around him
DER the dead. After which:
There came a burst of thunder sound;
The boy-oh! where was he!
Ask the winds, that far around
With fragments strewed the sea
Ask the waves. Ask the fragments.
Ask Mrs. Hemans. Or, to save time,
ask me.
/ He has become totally extinct. He
is no more and he never was very
much. Still we need not worry. Men
tally he must have been from the very
outset liability rather than an as
set. Had he lived, undoubtedly he
would have wound up in home for
the feeble-minded. 1t is better so, as
it is-better that he should be spread
about over the surface Of the ocean
in a broad general way, thus saving
all the expenses of burying him and
putting tombstone over him. He
was one Of the incurables.

ceived by the labor leader during the
last ten months.
Amounts OF payments alleged
