Right Kind of a Boy Herbert Uotsford of Orand Rapids, Mich. Is a boy of whom his country may well bo proud. While delivering papers at 5:30 o'clock on Monday morning, rolates the Chicago Inter Ocean, ho passed by tho city waterworks reservoir nnd saw a llttlo cata ract descending from It Into Livingston street. Relow tho hill on which iho reservoir stood was a thickly built district of work logmen's cottages. Young Hotsford's quick tllu Ifiolnfillv t-rnanml (tin nltnntlnn anil nn i i.i.tic'Pu a'plmi in'w (lorstooil tho danger to thosu sleeping hun dreds. Throwing nway his papers, ho ran through tho silent streets, shouting tho alarm and hammering at tho doors. Tho warning camo nono too soon, for hardly had Ilotsford and those who Joined him notified tho last house In tho district directly threatened when tho reservoir broke and 100,000,000 gallons of water poured down tho hill In a stream ten feet deep. Dwellings Inhabited by 9,000 pcoplo were more or less flooded and the houses In a strip three blocks wldo wero smashed or tilled with sand and debris. Thanks to young UotBford's Intelligence and devotion, no lives were lost and only ono person was seriously hurt. There wero many narrow escapes, somo pcoplo having had to llco In their night garments and the private prop erty loss may reach $1:00,000. Hut a rand Haplds Is thankful to havo escaped tho great Iobb of llfo that would certainly havo occurred had not young Iiotsford passed that way, Been his duty straight before him and performed It with promptness and manly resolution. Orand Haplds and ovory othor city, tho Htato and tho nation, need boys and men who have eyes to see, minds to reason promptly nnd courage to act In the most elllelent way. Young Ilotsford did not think of saving himself, nor wnsto time In telling tho authorities who should have prevented the danger that It was at hand Ho saw tho thing to do was to waken thos' sleeping people at onco and that ho did completing the task barely In tlmo to drag his own breathless body out of tho on coming flood. Herbert Ilotsford Is n hero whom Ornnd Rapids should not fall properly to roward lie should have the best education ns a start In life, for If ho lives nnd koops up Ills boyish record he will booomo a man of ft bom his country will hear nnd have need. He Is tho kind of boy of whom neither this nor any othor nation enn have too many. Till! CRAP MUFTI. Tho Premier of Ak-Sar-Ben V, with His Royal Rotinuo and Faithful Followers, NVITED TO CALL ON B.
