Office over Benton Co. National Bank. 11-12 When fire broke out in a five -story building in Portland, Maine, last Friday, and a stampede of human beings was threatened in which hundreds of lives would almost certainly have been lost, one man proved himself a hero in a new and novel way. At the first alarm a man became badly frightened and yelled "fire" at the top of his voice. The words were no sooner utter than he was silenced by a blow in the mouth dealt him by the cool-headed one. The hero then calmed the people by threatening to serve in the same manner the next party who cried "fire," and there was a hurried but quiet exit from the building and not a single life lost. The property loss amounted to $1,000,000, but to this man with the cool head and good judgment many people owe their lives. The story is worth re membering.
