NeelyvilIe Hero

A little child sitting i'm the middle
of a railroad track, playing, and un-
mindful of the great danger.
Missouri Pacific fast mail train No.
Z approaching at high rate of speed.
Grown men and women saw the
danger. They turned their backs so
that they would not see the little child
ground to horrible death under the
train wheels
A newsboy approaching on a bicycle,
saw the baby. Quick as flash he
leaped from his wheel and dashed on
to the railroad track. The baby was
saved by only a fraction Of a second.
This happened at Neelyville, Mo-. one
day recently when the little three year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Turner.
formerly of Pocahontas, was saved
from horrible death by the quick
and fearless action of Neelyville
newsboy.
The newsboy, whose name is Harry
Penrod, is only twelve years of age but
everyone in southeast Missouri is talk
ing of his wonderful feat and praising
him as the greatest hero in this section
Of the country.
The Turner baby had wandered on
the track and no one saw him there
until the fast train was almost upon
MN. Harry saw the baby on the track
and at glance saw the locomotive
bearing down at a tremendous speed
lie leaped from his bicycle, dashed
madly down the street and, making a
regular football flying tackle fell upon
the child and together they whirled off
the track just as the train thundered
by.

SERVE THE LORD with gladness:
come before his presence with singing.
For the Lord is good his mercy is
everlasting: and his truth endureth to
all enerations.-Psalm 1902, ..
BUT THOU, WHEN THOU PRAY
EST, enter into thy closet, and when
thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy
Father which is i'm secret; and thy
Father which seeth in secret shall re-
ward thee openly. For your Father
knoweth what things We have need of,
before We ask him.-Matt. 0:6, 8.
REMOVE FAR FROM ME vanity
and lies: give me neither poverty nor
riches: feed me with food convenient
for me.-Proverbs 30 IS.
JESUS SAID UNTO HER, | am the
resurrection and the life he that be-
lieveth in me, though he were dead
yet shall he live And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me shall never die
John II :25.
THUS SAITH THE LORD, CAN un.

shew thee great aud mighty things
which thou knowesi not. Behold, |
will bring It health and cure, and /
will cure them, and will reveal unto
them the abundance of peace and
truth.-Jeremiah 33 2, 3, 6.
BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING but
in every thing by prayer and supplica-

quests be made known to God. And
the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus

Back To Two Parties
New York World)

In overwhelming defeat the Demo
cratic party is nevertheless stronger
than it looks. If it could point only
to the melancholy fringe of southern
states, its future might be despaired
Of But il has many scattered repre-
sentatives in the House from north
ern and western states, with an oc-
casional United States senator or a
governor. Best of ALL in the way of
promise of continued life, is the fact
that it has virtually got rid of a
menace to its very existance. An al
most avOwed aim of the LaFollette
movement was to destroy the Demo
cratic party. What the labor party
in England came so near doing to the
Liberals, the miscellaneous Socialists
and radicals who marched, without
open quarreling for the time being,
under the LaFollette banner hoped
and intended to do to the Democrats.
Mr.. Davis was to run third in the
popular vote. Discouraged Democrats
were to abandon their party organi-
zation by the millions and rush to join
the new third party, which would in
stantly become the second and ere
long the first.
These fond imaginings disappeared
in the explosion of Nov. 4. 1t was the
nascant third party that blew up. Its
fragments will be variOusly distrib-
uted. OF course, the Socialists will
speedily repent Of their blunder this
year, and once more insist upon their
separate political identity. But the
rest of the LaFollette melange will be
dispersed never to be assembled again
in an independent movement. In its
zeal to commit murder, the third party
really committed suicide. Like that
one of the Medici family who, in his
furious strokes at an enemy, stabbed
himself, Senator LaFollette has hurt
himself more than the Democratic
party with the daggers that he spoke.
Here we have one of the great gains
Of Tuesdays election. 1t largely re-
moved the peril that the group system
in Congress would drive out the two
party system. To the latter the coun-
try is in a fair way to get back soon.
Weakened and repulsed as it was in
the election, the Democratic party
still has a respectable strength I'm
Congress, and is in a position there
and throughout the country quickly to
become a responsible party Of the Op-
position Instead Of breaking up the
old two-party system, LaFOllette has
strengthened it and brought its full
return nearer. For this gift Of his,
undersigned though it was, to the
American people he deserves a vote Of
thanks-though he would scorn and
scarify any one who offered it to him.
