While playing on tlio lugs in th.; Uioin of the Fir A Spruce LumU-r Company last Saturday afttrnion, with several other small lmys, little Nelson Anderson, six years old, fell into the water and would have been drowned had not it been for the presence of mind of his brother Stanley, aged 11, and cousin Lester Hall, aged 8. When the little brother fell in Stanley, without a second's hesitation, jumped into the water, which at that point was 10 or 15 feet deep, and managed to catch Nelson by the hair by which he towed him to a log. Stanley succeeded in getting onto the log himself but could not get his brother out. ly bracing himself he succeeded in keeping the log from rolling over, and in this po sition held the younger brother's head above water while Lester ran to town and got help. The boys were in the water at least fifteen minutes, and were nearly exhausted when help arrived." Stanley, deserves great credit for risking his life to save his brothers, and by the act proved the metal that is in him. No man could have done better. Toledo i'iohool Notes.
