Show A CHILD'S COOL COURAGE. A little girl of Cincinnati exhibited remarkable presence of mind and courage: The other day a four-year-old child in Cincinnati fell from a balcony fifty feet above a brick pavement, and went whirling toward the ground. On the porch of the story below stood a little girl ten years old, who saw the child fall and put out her arms in an attempt to save him. She did catch him, at the risk of being dragged over also, and though she was not strong enough to hold such a weight, she was able to turn the course of the boy's fall, and he landed at her feet on the floor of the porch. His head was somewhat out, but his life was saved, and the little girl's arm was lamed, but not broken. |
