A Breton Heroine - !
AST Monday morning Rom Here
was gathering shellfish on the
rocks near the Pyramids da
Runlou, on the Isle of Ushant, .
west coast of Franca. She heard
cries, and aa the fog lifted aaw a boat con-
talnlng fourteen men drifting in the awlft
eurrent among the Jagged reefa of that
iron-bound shore.
Rose Here plunged Into the boiling surf,
warn oft to the boat and, after a two
bourn' struggle, steered It safely through
the reefa to land In the little bay of Fen-ar-Roch.
Then ahe went back to her shell
fish gathering and tha little truck patch by
which she lives.
The fourteen men were sailors of the
steamer Vesper, which had been lost on
that dangerous coast the night before.
They were strangers to the currents and
reefa of that graveyard of ships, and but
for the prompt action of Rose Here prob- .
ably alll of them would have been
drownel.
Rose Here Is reported to have eivod many
other lives In a similar manner. Bhe Is a
poor woman In a poor community. It la
pleanlng to learn that the British consul at
Rrest has sent her a sum of money and
that the municipality of Ushant will offi
cially call the attention of the Ministry of .
Marine to her services.
80 far Rose Here has received nothing
from society for her services to It. Doubt- ,
less she expected nothing. Bhe may re
ceive some substantial reward now. The
thought that she might undoubtedly never
entered her head when she plunged Into
the sea last Monday to save utter strangers.
There were men In distress and danger
and she went to their aid. It was all In
the day's work. 1
Those who thoorlze that men and women
will not do heroic deeds unless there Is
some motive of affection toward those they
help or some prospect of material reward
for helping thorn are Invited to consider
the case of lug Here just one of many
similar acts performed dally because they
aw In the day's work of humanity.
Such deeds as that of this Breton heroine
are the only real heroism the deeds that
ar,e done as the Instinctive human response
to a human need without forethought or .
afterthought Just the daily service of men
and women to other men and women be
cause all are men and women. Chicago

Driven to It .
The politician was reminiscent and some
one took advantage of the fact to ask him
pertinent question.
"How did you happen to go Into politics V
was the question.
"Frankly," was the reply, "I was driven
to it"
"Driven to ItT"
"Tea. Tou see, I wasn't cut out for a
profession. I didn't have the necessary '
educational advantages, and Z didn't take
kindly to study, anyway."
"You might have tried a clarkehipT"
"Well, I didn't seem to fit in there very
well, either. ' There seemed to be about six :
applicants for one Job, and my quallflca-
tlons weren't sufficient to get me the Job
under those circumstances. There were
always others who could write better or
figure better."
"Why not a trade, then?"
That Is what I ought to have tackled,
but I couldn't."
"Why not?"
"My father didn't have the wisdom to
Join a labor union, and when It came to
learning a trade the unions limited the
number and placed restrictions on those
that barred me out. They wouldn't let
me learn a trade said there were too many
new trades already.
"And then?"
"Why politics was all that there was
left"
"Well, that explains one thing, anyway."
"What?"
"The number of men In politics who ought
to be busy with a hammer or a pick."

Mystery of the Alps
An almost forgotten mystery of the Aus
trian Alps has at last been cleared up.
Thirteen years ago a guide named Unten
ateinen disappeared from Groasvendlger,
and nothing was sgaln heard of him until
a few days since, when his body was found
thickly sheathed in ice. He had evidently
fallen Into a crevasse, and the body, form
ing round Itself an icy casing, had during:
thirteen years followed the movements of
the glacier, being at last recovered at its
lowest extremity, where it emerged to
view. The fett bones alone protruded from
the ice. Great difficulty was experienced
in extricatirg the body. An American nov
elist made a like incident the plot of a
short story some years ago. New Tork
