HEROIC PAGE BOY
STOOD ON THE BURNING STAIRS. A page boy was the hero of a terrible disaster when a hotel caught fire not long ago at Lansing in the United States. He threw away his chance of escape and ran from room to room on the upstair floors to wake the guests. When he had done all in his power he started to run for his own safety but found that the staircase was on fire. The last sight the rescuers had of him was of a little figure standing on the burning stairs, which soon collapsed. He had given his life in the hope of saving many people who were strangers to him.
