IN MEMORIAM.

In loving remembrance of our
dear son, Gilbert Marshall Hough,
who departed this life one year ago,
February 10, 1921.
In casket white as snow,
All nestled among the flowers,
Lies our darling brown-eyed baby,
Who such little while was ours.
Oh, how hard we tried to save him,
Prayers and tears were all in vain,
Happy angles came and bore him
From this world of toll and pain.
Keep, him, Jesus, in thy keeping,
Till we reach the heavenly shore,
Then, o Master, let us have him,
To love him as we did before!
BY his loving Parents, Sister and
Brothers.

TELEGRAPH MAN
RESCUES TWO GIRLS
Jumps from Bridge and Gets Them to
Land After Going Over Dam
at HayerhiIl.

BOSTON, April 14-While principal
| New England rivers oyerfiowed their
banks and caused thousands of dollars
damage in their rush towards the sea
yesterday, the rapid current and high
water in tributary of the Merrimack
nearly caused double fatality, when
two Haverhill girls were swept over a
15-foot dam in the Little river and were
saved from drowning only by the heroism
of telegraph lineman who jumped
from bridge to their aid.
The girls, Florence Brown, 15, of 80
Lafayette square, and Dora Moreau, IL,
of 123 Lafayette square. disregarded the
flooded conditions of the river and went
out in fiat-bottom boat with the for
mer's step-brother, Russell Grandchamp,
IA, who lives at the same address.
Starting from point about 100 yards
above the falls of the Pentucket mills.
the youth rowed the boat downstream.
found he was unable to battle with the
rapid current. When he saw that the
boat was being swept toward the dam he
jumped overheard and swan ashore.
The little boat, with the two girls in
the stern, both calling loudly for help,
rushed down the stream. but when on
the very brink of the dam the Moreau
girl jumped out and caught the rear end
of the craft and chung to it as it plunged
to the Swirling waters below. The other
girl remained in her seat and was thrown
headlong as the boat was tossed like an
eggsheI on the crest of the flood.
Both were being whirled about in the
water at the foot of the falls when
George n. Booth of Biddeford, Me-, at
work on telegraph pole on the Winter
street bridge. saw their plight. Hastily
throwing off his climbing irons and belt,
he mounted the rail of the bridge and
leaped into the whirlpool % feet below.
After righting the overturned boat, he
lifted both girls into it and, swimming
with one hand. brought the craft to a
projecting ledge, where an employee of
the Pentucket mills seized it. Philip
German. John Booden and Thomas Da-
hill, all employees in the shipping room,
leaned from a window of the mill on the
edge of the water and assisted the girls
in. Neither was seriously injured, al
though somewhat bruised and suffering
from the effects of immersion.
