FIREMAN'S WING to the remarkable skill of Michael Mania, the driver of Engine Com-pao- y l.Ts tender. Sarah Adelmau, tne year old, of 210 Clinton street, was saved from death recently. It was owing only to the most skilful judgment and unflim ldng courage that the little one was not flushed under the hoofs of the galloping horses or the And heavy wheels ot the tender. when the ciowds who lmd witnessed saw the tot the thi filing spectu-l- c escape without seiious injuiy they rent the air with cheers for the brave driver. Shortly liefore eleven o'clock a false alarm was turned in from box 153, at the corner of l.udlow and Division streets. Engine Company 15, which ia stationed in Henry street, tore away rapidly. There was a crowd of children playing on the sidewalk in Clinton atreet when the engine turned in from Henry street. When the engine passed the little Adelman girl started to cross the street, evidently unaware of the tender which was following the engine. And aa unconcerned as if she were still playing on the sidewalk the tot stood In the middle of the street, unconscious of the galloping horses that were nearing her. But hearing the cries of women and children ahe suddenly turned around and seeing the swaying tender approaching her became paralyzed with fear. Martin, who was driving the bonee drawing the tender, saw the imminent danger of the child, but the animals were going at such a rate that it was Impossible to slow them no. Had be swerved either o the right or left the heavy wheels would certainly have truck her and thrown her under the tender. Martin took a desperate chance. He made straight for the child, so that the horsee would pass her between them. She stood still, and when the tender reached her was thrown to the ground by the pole, which struck her. The tender passed over her without any one of the wheels touching her. The child was picked up by several men and carried to a nearby drug tore, where an ambulance was summoned from Oouverneur Hospital. Dr. Emily Dunning responded and fonnd that the child had escaped with lacerated scalp wound. While dressing the little one's head It wag necessary to cut off some of her hair. To this the patient strenuously objected, and appeared more affected over the loss of her locks than her wound. Dr. Dunning adviBed that the tot be removed to the hospital, but the mother of the child refused to let her go, and carried her home. New York Commercial Advertiser. hfl. BULLS TAIL SAVED BUSTER. This Is the tale of Buster Bandell, four years old, son of Charles M. Bandell, of Bound Brook, N. J., and the tall of a bull, age and ancestry unknown. At the early age of one year Buster manifested the preeoctousness and presence of mind which a few day ago not only saved his life, bnt tamped him as one who in yesrs to come will not fail to utilize even the most lowly appendanges of nature to raise himself to higher spheres. Strength, too, beyond that usually possessed by babes marked tbe grip of his prehensile fingers, and at three years of age lie was well able to hold his own, though not in the sense his father was. Thus It may be seen he was well prepared for the adventure which befell him recently. Buster went fishing with his brother, nine years old, tbe scene of their piscatorial efforts being a brook running through their fathers farm. As Is the custom In such cast's, the older brother held the line while Buster had the delight and mathematical Instruction of seeing Into how many sections be could divide a worm. In chasing an elusive worm. Buster, like many a vaulting ambition, oerkaped himself and fell Into the brook at a point where the depth of the water was In Uke measure to his years. With bawl and yell and fast flowing tears the older brother ran for the house. Bnt Buster! Did he ope his mouth and swallow much water? Did he cry and shriek hie loudest and battle with his tiny hands gainst the engulfing current? Not he! Near by the bull to whom reference has already been made was drinking. On the surface of the water floated the tufted end of his tall. This Buster espied.' He grabbed, and he grabbed true. He held, and he held true. With snort and bellow the bull leaped np the bank. Buster was literally at the caudal appendage of the procession. Once on the bank he relaxed bis hold of tbe saving bull, though he moved some rods further. When theolder brother and the father came running up Buster was fishing. CHASED BY A WHALE. A Los Angeles (Cal.) correspondent writes that L. U. Murphy, a wealthy tourist of Carmen, Ind., had a thrilling experience four miles off the coast of Santa Catalina Islands. He came near meeting the fate of Jonah in an attack by n monster whale. Murphy was fishing with E. E. Chapman, of Los Angeles, owm-- r of the launch Rival, and Skipper T. D. Clark. They found no tuna, but starting homeward came upon a horde of btfjre cetaceans churning the sea Into foam. One was so near that they concluded to have fun with it.

It Is a womans nature to be afraid of little things. She screams when a mouse runs ovir her feet Fear clutches her heart when she is alone at night. Almo't every woman will say, Tm a terrible coward. That la only true to a very limited extent. When the time for bravery comes the grandness of a womans unselfish courage Is apparent. And when love nerves heart and band, you have a force to move the world. Dr. and Mrs. William n. Logan left their good home In Bethany, 111., at the call of duty and went to China as missionaries.

Mrs. William n. Logan has answered the question. Florence Ntghtlnglae never did a more heroic act than was performed by the missionary woman, hundreds of miles from civilization Cincinnati Post. PRESENTMENT SAVED HIS LIFE. According to Captain Diggdon, of the Nova Scotian schooner Gold Seeker, which was lost on the Mosquito coast on the night of July 1, a presentment ot impending danger saved him from drowning, with the larger part of the crew. ' The Captain arrived recently at New York on the steamer Yucatan from Colon, The vessel was hound from Cartagena in ballast for the Isle of Fines to take on a load of.cocoanntg for this port On the night of the wreck tbe schooner was within ten miles of the Isle of Pines, and Captain Diggdon had retired to his cabin In the expectation of reaching hla destination the following morning. But he could not sleep. A presentment as of trouble made him restless and be returned to the deck. Five minutes after h emerged from his cabin a sudden squall struck the schooner. Its force was so great that the vessel was capsized. In rolling over It Imprisoned all on board except the Captain snd three sailors, who were on deck at tbe time. - Among tboae who were sleeping at the time and were lost were a Colombian cnstoin house officer, the ships mate, cook and boatswain. Even if these men were awakened by tbe Inrushing waters they could have done nothing to help themselves and must have perished miserably In their prisons In the over' turned hqlk, Captain Diggdon supported himself by clinging. to floating wreckage. Tbe three sailors saved themselves In the same manner, and vben the squall had passed the four succeeded in clearing tbe vessels boat and making the Isle of Fines. The Gold Seeker was built In Liverpool, N. S in 1896, and was of 190 tons register. RISKED LIFE TO SAVE DOG. At Wells, Vt., Charles Humphries and Smith Horton risked their lives to save that of a common everyday dog. The dog had in some manner got part way down the almost perpendicular tide of a mountain snd strayed out upon a narrow ledge projecting out over a height of more than a hundred feet The animal stood on this narrow space for nearly five days without food or water and howled continually. Finally Humphries and Horton decided To fescue the dog,whIch they did after a perilous climb down tbe perpendicular rock. A single misstep would have meant Instant death.
