OBSCURE HEROES. ~ These Humble Workers Only Do Thelr Duty ‘and Wear No Medals. Twelve boys took an abandoned hand- car and placed it on the Lackawanna tracks near the Paterson station. By chance the station agent saw them speeding by and telegraphed to a tow- erman a mile away at Paterson Junc- tion to stop them. The towerman knew that an express was just behind the boys and opened a switch, throwing them and their stolen car down an em- bankment; then he closed the switch as the express came around the curve behind them, and little they knew that they had thrown dice with death and won, thanks to the foresight of these two men on the job. These are the heroes of peace, these obscure, unknown men, doing their duty practically 365 days out of-the year. In the news account the name of the towerman was not even mentioned, but he has twelve lives to his credit, and twelve. homes- have been .spared.from mourning, and . twelve boys are given another chance to finish :their careers. ‘We get so accustomed to the men on the job that we forget what part the integrity of the workman plays in the mechanism of modern -life, from the man in the tower. to the itrackwalker, from the engineer to the chief dis- i patcher. If all these cogs were not true and working in unison every minute in the hour, where would the safety of our lives be?

It pro- tects our buildings from the violence of storms; successfully resists the attacks of rain, hail, sleet and snow; is unaffected by the sharp assaults of frost, and the withering fire of mid- summer sun. It even withstands the ravages of time, for CERTAIN- TEED Roofing is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to ply (1,2 or 3). Experience proves that it will out-last the period of guarantee. The long life of CERTAIN-TEED is due to the fact that it does not dry out, as ordinary roofing does. This is because it is made of the best qual- ity roofing felt, thoroughly saturated with a blend of soft asphalts—the formula of the General’s Board of tional guard ‘ inst invasion our real national guard is the millions of stalwart, young Ameri- ‘ cans in all'walks of life, who must respond to their country’s call for training and service in the ranks of our army and navy. For defense against invasion of the elements Certain-tee Expert Chemists. This soft satura- tion is then covered with a coatin of a harder blend of asphalts, whic] prevents the drying-out process, and keeps CERTAIN-TEED impervi- ous to the elements for years after the harder, drier kinds of roofing have dried out and gone. CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in slate-surfaced shingles. There is atype of CERTAIN-TEED Roofing for every kind of building, with flat or pitched roofs, from the largest sky-scraper to the smallest residence or out-building. CERTAIN-TEED is sold by re- sponsible dealers all over the world, at reasonable prices.

A farmer living at Lapford, England, dreamed thrice in succession that he saw a pit dug in one of his fields and some of his property cast into it. At the third time of dreaming he got up, dressed and went out. He heard the ‘thud of a spade and caught sight of a man digging by lantern light. The digger fled at his approach. It was a grave upon which he had been at work. By its brink lay a huge knife. On his way back the farmer met one of his maidservants. She had had a quarrel with the man to whom she had been engaged, she said, but he had prevailed upon her to meet him for the last time at 2 o’clock that morning, when he had something to shgw her. “This is what he had to show you,” said the farmer, leading her to the grave.—London Tat- Tom FUNERAL DIRECTOR M.
