I wonder If it is possible for a “serub reporter” to frame such a beautiful story of self- sacrifice and grand courage into words that will do it just the least bit of justice! Songs have been sung and odes have been written to the courage of men, who, with armour on their backs and visors drawn down over their eyes, went forth to do battle with lance and sword, Books have been written of heroes who stood on the bridge of their ship, while the enemy's shells burst around them, and won glorious vie tories; and of men who have risked thelr lives to save those of others penned up tn burning buildings. But— Are any of these deeds equal in genuine courage to that displayed by this unknown man of the shops who, with the cold hand of death on bis brow, still hobbies about our streots to earn a penny or two for hie loved ones? and odes and books dedicated to the memory of men who go forth in search of a bit of land known as the North Pole, which, when discovered, will not do any one good to the amount of a tinker’s d—n. Mil lions are rated to send white-era vated missionaries to waste futile argument on thick-skulled , kinky haired inbabitants of Africa. For. tunes are lavished on cruel-mouthed, eneouth fellows who climb a pedes- tal of fame by lamming the tar out of one another in a 24-foot ring. While— 8. R. Lilly, workman, citizen of Bellevue, a hero of heroes, cheer- fully sacrifices his life for a loaf of bread and a bit of meat to soften the hunger-pains of his little ones! For Workman Lilly knew that he could have made hie sufferings eas- jer if he had not roamed about Se- attle’s streets in search of work be- fore the blood on the stump of the “bad leg” waa dry, Instead, he left the hospital only to wander from store to stora, from house to house, asking for something to do. And now, although he knows that the “bad leg” le going to ultimately cause his death, Workman Lilly dows not give up. “Therds plenty of work left in me yet,” says he, “I wont to see the wife and children with a roof over thetr heads, anyway.” Now that the true story of this man's heroism and sufferings and the pitifal condition of his family has become known, do you wonder that the Dollar club keeps on grow ing? And do you wonder why YOU be came a member?
