DU MAURIER DECEIVED.
How an American Interviewer Abused His
Confidence.

Confidence.
Du Maurier was always especially APP
preciative of American appreciation
and took particular pains to welcome
Americans cordially, says the New York
Times. 1t was seldom that this friend
~ feeling was abused, but the last time
| saw him he was. for once in a state of
rage against an American who had not
only interviewed him but outrageous
~ misrepresented him and his house
hold. The visitor had come with some
letters of introduction, but, fearing that
an interview was in prospect, Mrs. Du
Maurier had seen him and explained
that Mr.. Du Maurier could not receive
visitors for that purpose. The caller
promptly discIaimed being an inter.
viewer and so disarmed the hostess that
in apology he was taken upstairs in cor
dial welcome. The laird OF ''Trilby,"
still in the land of the living and Il
close friend of Du Maurier, had hap
pened in, and the two, perhaps gently
led by the slliliful interviewer into the
subject. were soon talking over old
times in free confidence. What was
DL Maurier's chagrin a few weeks after
ward to receive New York paper con-
tanning a highly cOlored version of this
conversation, with remarks about his
habits and his household, which We're
more than a breach of hospitality. He
wrote at once a letter of disclaimer for
publication among his American
friends, and it was with difficulty that
he was persuaded that this would only
advertise the offensive article and give
it wider currency.

FEMININE SUICIDES.
Women Take Poison Where Men Shoot
Themselves.


Statistical tables yield curious in
formation to the careful student, says
the Philadelphia Times. For instance.
they show that over one-third of the
women who kill themselves are not yet
- years of age. They show that women
take poison, where men shoot them
selves. and they show that the poor.
sick and the infirm are not by any kind
of reckoning in the ma jority. y ply
stefan who makes a study of attempted
suicide said this:
Get girl past 25 and she'll go
through poverty, sickness and desertion
and misery enough to kill ten men. The
more people suffer the more they cling
to life I've seen it in the hospitals. 1t
is not the patients with the incurable
diseases or the hopeless cripples who
beg to die, but the young, strong, vital
want to suffer it, even for the chance
of getting well. 1t is a strange thing.
this getting of a girl past 25. but not
uncommon. Any physician with large
family practice will tell you of a dozen
cases in his own circle of knowledge.
Sometimes it is called pyromania, some
times llleptomania, sometimes catalep-
sy, sometimes hysteria, sometimes
feigning and sometimes tantrums-itS
all the same thing-nothing else to do"
Another physician told of girl who
committed suicide and who left note
stating that her reason was that she
was tired of doing the same things over
and over every day. The monotony OF
life had become unbearable to her.

ELEPHANT AND POLICEMAN.
The Former Frightened the Latter Almost


y most remarkable incident happened
in the early hours of u recent morning
10 Il police constable on duty in the
High Road, CIapton, says the Westmin-
ster Gazette. 1t appears that on Sat
Hrday night Il travelling circus gave Il
performance on Mount Pleasant Fields,
and, as is usual, struck the tent soon
after the close of the entertainment.
Among the animals was a perform
ing elephant, and this, in the charge of
a keeper, was dispatched to the next
stopping place. All was quiet as the
pair logged along, but when nearing
Goulton road. High road, Ciapton, the
keeper noticed that the elephant would
walk on the pavement, but he little
thought of the trick that it about
to play. Standing just around the cor
ner of the road was Il police constable
shcltering from the wind and quite I'M
conscious of the approach of the ele-
plant, whose tread gave forth no sound.
As the animal reached the corner he
put his trunk round and just touched
the constable's arm. The latter turned
to see what it was, and on seeing the
elephant was seized with alarm and
took to his heels along the road, closely
pursued by his tOrmentOr. The keeper
tried to call the animal back. but it was
of no avail, for the retreating figure
of the constable occupied the sole at
tcntion of the elephant, who kept up
the pursuit until the officer darted into Il
garden and closed the iron gates behind
him. The elephant stood at the other
side of the ratings, but made no at
tempt to get at him, and, much to his
relief, on the arrival of the keeper,
turned and went on its way.
