Inspired to action by the boy’s heroism, a group of beach scavengers launched a lifeboat while young Swartz was bravely battling with the strong current, but before the boat had reached the spot Swartz and his limp burden had been drawn ashore by a living chain, formed by the police and bystanders as soon as he

London. —"Listen to those yells! Isn’t It awful? That’s little seven-year-old Tommy Hancell thrashing his father again.” “I know. It's terrible the way Mr. Hancell has to go out and get beer and cigarettes for that youngster. But, If he refuses. Tommy gives him an awful beating with the tongs or anything else he can get hold of.” One would hardly think that the above could bo a real conversation, but remarks like these have been beard more than once in the mean street In the town of DoIItngton, Cheshire, where until a day or two ago I lived the youngster of seven who ap- | pears to be one of the worst Juvenile ■ terrors cm record.

Ironically enough, the first witness to indorse young Hancell’s claim to be a holy terror of the first water was the agent of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Children.

Mlkal was so badly exhausted whea brought ashore that he was unable to thank his little rescuer, and Swartz, evading the congratulations of hysterical men and women, hurried to his home, where he changed his clothing and resumed bis occupation as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred. Young Swartz was not one-half the size of the man he rescued, and his work Is considered the more remarkable because of the fact that he wore heavy shoes and was fully clothed. From the time he reached Mlkal’s side until he regained the beach, the boy conducted himself with the nerve and precision of a seasoned life-saver. There Is a movement on foot to have him recommended for a Carnegie medal. The rescue occurred at 7 o'clock, an hour before the lifeguards came on duty.

A New Cartoon.

A local philosopher, laughing over one of Ralph Wilder’s cartoons in The Chicago Record-Her-ald the other day, n marked that the cartoon is mightier than the sermon. Certainly the humorous picture that has come to be so popular n feature of the big city newspaper often hits off the news of the hour with a veritable stroke of genius. The wbolejart of the cartoonist has become more kindly, less slashing, than in the days when Thomas Nast began to make it a power in journalism. The popular cartoonist no longer hits somebody over the head for your amusement hut tickles you under your own ribs somewhere near the heart. He does it by illustrating the little humors of human nature, of domestic life, of boy nature, of feminine foibles —any sort of homely or timely joke that both husband and wife can laugh over at the breakfast table.

en-year-old son requested It. because the boy had led him such a life, and beat him with the scrubbing brush, tongs and dolly-pegs, the latter being wooden arrangements used in washing clothes. Hancell declared that his offspring would not let him get into bed until he (the youngster) had gone to sleep, and that the boy frequently had kicked him out of bed. A girl named Forrest, who lives across from the Hancells, said she had repeatedly heard the boy ill using his father. When anyone went to the father’s assistance, she said, the boy locked the door, took the key out of the lock and so prevented them from getting in. She said that the language the boy used was so awful that she would not like to repeat It. A next-door neighbor of the Hancells. Ellen Wood, agreed that the youthful Thomas used fearful language and said he was not fit to be at large. She said that Hancell senior dared not do anything else than bring the beer and cigarettes whenever his seven-year-old prodigy demanded that he set 'em up.

One of the gentlest < leverest and happiest cartoonists of this new school is Ralph Wilder, whose daily picture on the front page of The Chicago Record-Herald is an unfailing delight. Mr. Wilder’s drawing is unsurpassed, and his humor, if not sidesplitting, alwayshas a “point” with a smile in it. His pictures help to brighten life ind send one to one’s own task more cheerily. They help to explain why The Record-Heiald is the favorite family newspaper in the West.
