The Reward of Altruism. (Harper’s Weekly.) Smith, the railroad agent at a suburban station in a western city, saved the life of a dignified gentleman waiting for a train by pulling him from in front of a through train on another track. The dignified gentle man lost all his dignity for the mo ment and was much confused, hut not so much as to forget that something was due to the agent. Following a grateful impulse, he thrust his hand into his pocket, and, drawing it forth, exclaimed: “Man, you’ve saved my life; here’* half a dollar.” “Oh, I never take payment for a thing like that,” answered Smith, as he turned to attend to the duties of the moment. “But. man, you must; you saved my life. Have a cirgar, anyway.” 7 > ."'jL-V, i ; • ©v;.,' M O , z // ► - -c' : r/ W ■ RESOLVED TVA f IT BEATS THE BAND WHAT VE CAN Do WITH OUR. tnor-EY BY GOOD JUDGMENT AND MANAGEMENT I r WE (JO To the r;g,-.t place.
