The heroic act of little Earl
Baker, age 12, in flagging the
"Alton Limited," at Upper Alton
last evening, saved the lives of
more than 100 people who were
on the train en route to St. Louis
at 6:15 o'clock.
The boy is now the hero of
Upper Alton and his future prob-
ably will be brightened by the
acts of the management of the
Chicago & Alton road and the
passengers of the train which so
narrowly escaped an awful crash
into a telephone pole which had
blown across the track. A heavy
gale passed over the section of
Illinois near Alton yesterday.
The pole was discovered upon
the track by Earl as he was walk
ing along the roadbed to his
home. The little fellow im-
mediately realized the danger of
the approaching train that he
had heard whistle and run at
top of his speed toward the train
then probably one-fourth of a
mile away.
Upon arriving near the train
he pulled off his coat and began
waiving it above his head and
shouting at the top of his voice
in an effort to warn the train of
the approaching danger. His
efforts proved successful, the
engineer discovered the little
boy in time to stop his train just
before it struck the pole across
the track. The engineer, train
men and passengers alighted
from the train, grabbed the
child in their arms and praised
him for his brave deed. The
obstruction was removed and the
train proceeded to St. Louis.
The act of the boy has been}
reported to the high officials of ■
the Chicago & Alton, and it isj
expected that the boy will be
liberally rewarded. The boy is
a son of Mrs. M. Baker, who
lives in a small cottage in Upper
Alton.

esting
concerning
Kate Pearson Burwell says:
"It may not be generally known
especially to those whd do not
take the trouble to familiarize
themselves with statistics, that
on a reservation, in eastern Okla
homa, lives a self-satisfied band
of people, the richest per capita
in the world.
"Clinging to the customs,
traditions and superstitutions of
dead centuries, they are. never
the less, a good-natured, peace
loving people, well favored in
personal appearance, artistic in
dress, and moral in their lives.
They spend their income with
reckless prodigality while It
lasts, then await the sunshine of
a coming payment, as their
moccasoned feet tread the dusty
streets of the Indian village, or
their metal eyes make inventory
of more worlds to conques in the
trader's stores, with the 'al-
mighty dollar,' when it comes
into their possession."
