Boone, la.--Miss Kate Shelly, Iowa's heroine who In 1881 at great personal risk, saved a passenger train from be­ ing wrecked. Is dead at the age of forty-five years at her home near 6cene of her heroic deed. Miss Shelly had suffered greatly since last summer, when an operation for appendicitis was followed by an attack of Bright's disease, but she was as brave in the face of death as when she won renown. The deed which placed Kate Shel- ly's name !n the list of heroines was a bright example of the courage of a fifteen-year-old girl who believed she was saving the lives of hundreds of the passengers on a limited train on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, although, later developments proved, the number of lives she actually saved was two. The girl was the daughter of a farm­ er living near Boone, and late on the night of July 6, 1881. as she was pre­ paring to retire, from her bedroom window she saw a locomotive ap­ proach the bridge crossing Honey creek, stop a moment, then advance and plunge Into the torrent below as the bridge gave way. Realizing that a limited train was due to cross the same bridge in a few minutes, the girl dressed hastily, im­ provised a lantern out of a miner's lamp and started to Molngona to give the alarm. The feeble light soon was dashed out by the fury of the gale, but as she approached the bridge she saw two of the engine's crew clinging to trees in the creek. Kate'8 trip across the bridge was made doubly difficult by the fact that all the planks had been removed to keep pedestrians from crossing it, and as she crawled on hands and knees across the floating ties her flesh was lacerated In many places by the stubs of nails protruding where the planks had been removed. But she succeed ed In giving the alarm at Moingona before the limited train had left and in having a rescue party organized to save the two railroad men who bad plunged through the bridge. Passengers on the limited at once made up a purse for the brave girl and railroad men undertook to raise contributions In recognition of her heroism. Appeals of the press to the public for similar contributions failed to bring a hearty response because Northwestern railroad officials at once called attention to the fact that the limited train had not been endangered and by issuing a statement that Miss Shelly would be amply rewarded. As a matter of fact, the locomotive had been sent out to see that the bridge was safe and the limited train would not have proceeded beyond Molngona until the engine crew had reported from the next station. But this did not minimize the heroism of the girl's act, and a short time later the Iowa legislature passed an act awarding Miss Shelly a gold medal. Soon after MIbb Shelly was made station agent of the railroad at Moin­ gona, a position she held for years. MANY GREET FARLEY CARDINAL It GIVKN QftKAT OVA. TION AT NEW YORK.

Preparations for Shocks. For most of the wrenches and Jolts of life there are, happily, conditions which alleviate what would otherwise seem unbearable, conditions which soften and break the most cruel shocks. Death, for Instance, the great­ est shock of all, unless It Is very sud­ den, seldom comes as an unbearable wrench, because weakness or suffer­ ing has prepared us for It.' Man Undoubtedly Had Great 8cheme, Although There Was a Slight Obstacle In the Way. In the den which opened off the liv­ ing room the man was roaring soul- fully his own modernized version of an old song, "If I had but ten millions a year, Gaffer Qreen, if I had but ten millions a year--" "What would you do with It?" his sister interrupted, less for purposes of information than in pursuit of quiet. "One thing, anyhow, Sis," he broke off with unexpected earnestness. "I'd establish a system of free laundries for the poor. New Yorkers are won­ derfully clean people, all things con­ sidered, but you can't go around much without realizing that more laundry work and bathing would be an Im­ mense benefit in some directions." "But how would you manage It? Who would be the beneficiaries? How could you discriminate?" "All that would have to be consid-. ered, of course. Now, you work out the details, Sis, and I'll go out and try to Bcrape up the ten millions."--New York Press. An Every-Day Creed. I desire to radiate health, cheerful­ ness, sincerity, calm courage and good will. I wish to live without hate, whim, jealousy, envy or fear. I wish to be simple, honest, natural, frank, clean in mind and clean in body, un­ affected, ready to say, "I do not know" If so it be. to meet all men on an ab­ solute equality, to face any obstacle and meet every difficulty unafraid and unabashed. I wish others to live their lives, too, up to their highest, fullest and best. To that end I pray that I may never meddle, dictate In­ terfere, give advice that is not want­ ed, nor assist when my services are not needed. If I can help people I'll do it by giving them a chance to help themselves; and if I can uplift or in­ spire let it be by example. That is to say, I desire to be radiant--to radi­ ate life.--Elbert Hubbard. Her Logic. It was the week before Christmas- Emery and his younger sister.
