When Theodore Roosevelt stood op with a bullet in bis breast and made his speech the world was thrilled by tie spectacle of high courage. It wss a big first page story. lint- If on .that day you turned to the In side pages of your newspaper yon read a story fully as stirring, though on a !e4er stage. Old James Flaonery. sixty-eight was croswing flagman in Syracuse, N. T. On that day be was struck by a run away tax len b. noldlng to the machine, be was dragged along by it, bruised as to bands and back and arms, and al most killed. A crowd gathered, and they started to take the old man to the hospital. Just then Flannery heard the whistle of an approaching train. It was like the clarion call of a bngle to the sol dier, lie broke through the crowd and. though almost fainting, wigwagged bis train across. And again: William Rugh of Gary gave op his leg and life to the surgeons in order that the life of a girl whom be bad never seen might be saved and died with a smile, saying. "I am glad I did It" He we'l deserved the tears of an ad miring people. But on the day he died a dozen per sons la Mason City, la., voluntarily gave great patches of their skin for a similar operation.
