POrient. When Capt. HalloweIl gave
the command for the French vessel to
be blown up he knew nothing Of the
l3-year-old son of the French admiral,
who foolishly, but heroically, obeyed
his stern fathers order, Don't leave
the vessel till give you permission"
and his proud, though childish, form"
graced the doomed vessel when she
with fragments strewed the sea-"
Capt. Hallowell afterward heard the
sad tale and was much moved by it
The boy called out three times in
agony to his father. he learned, but
stood resolutely by the mainmast,
though his father lay cold In death.
So much moved was the captain that
he had coffin made in the boys honor
out of the floating fragments of the
fOrient and sent 1t to his friend and
patron, Lord Nelson, with the story of
the boys bravery, and expressing deep
regret for the young hero's untimely
end.
Nelson had the coffin placed In the
cabin in remembrance Of the bow. and
Capt Hallowell himself told the tale
to the then widely known poet, Felicia
Hemans. Her sympathies were imme-
diately excited and she immortalized
the boy in her sentimental but i'm
mortal verses, and she named him
wisely, "Casabianca, White Soul"

AUTHOR AT SO.

Retired Business MAI Oh w OECcstcTg
Mass, Writes Three Dramas.
Thomas C. Rice, a wealthy retired
business man of Worcester, Mass, In
his eighty-third year, sitting In the
quiet of his home at PA West street,
has evolved three ponderous and
thoughtful plays as the result of
challenge from his wife, says a Wor-
cester dispatch to the New York Her
aid. Two of them are biblical plays
and one is founded on Hindoo le-
gend
Since the retirement from active
business life several years ago Mr..
Rice has had a bent for literary work,
has been an Omnivorous reader ana
among other things delved extensively
into scriptural pages.
Mrs Rice, who is a bright woman,
quite conversant with the Bible and
literary withal, was anxious to see II
her husband could put together some
thing out of the knowledge that he
had gained that would some day shine
before the footlights. So she issued
the def and Mr.. Rice Immediately
buckled on his armor and started IN
at the playwright business.
II don't know how l ever did it"
said Mr.. Rice when the idea was
first proposed l would as soon have
thought of building a ladder to the
moon But something goaded me on.
| almost think it was an inspiration.
1t might have been due to sort Of
mental telepathy between Mrs. Rice
and myself or what the boys might
call now a brainstorm, but whatever 1T
was, one thing is certain; turned out
the plays with some satisfaction to
myself. even if they never so prove to
others.
IF nothing is ever done with the
PLAYS I shall never regret the knowl-
edge | have gained from the deep
study of the subjects involved
One of the first stories Mr.. Rice
dramatized was that Of Absalom, Of
which he makes four acts and puts
into the narrative some fourteen char
acters, only one of whom is a woman.
There is told the story of David's
son, his determination to revenge his
sisters wrongs, which brings him into
disfavor, and later his attempts to
usurp At his death, however, the ia
Their discloses that all along he has
been his favorite child and his lament
over the boys body in the well-remem-
bered exclamation of ooh, Absabom,
my son. my son. is made to serve as
vehicle for an intense dramatic eli
max.
Mr.. Rice perhaps makes still more
pretentious his dramatic version of the
Hebrew book of Esther, In which there
appear twelve leading characters.
Mr.. Rice has also constructed play
of quite a pretentious character found
ed on a Hindoo legend.
This play is in three acts and con-
tains six characteristic king of Ke-
kappa. his daughter, the blind and BAN
ished king of Chalva, his son, the sage
and Yama, the god of death. The name
of the play is ''Savitri's Choice"

Casualties Expected,

During one Of Speaker Cannon's BIT
ter political fights in his district In ILL.,
nois, the opposition resorted to desper-
ate tactics. Among other things,
friends of Uncle Joe were summarily
dismissed from positions they held in
the public service. Some Of his friends
became alarmed at this, and one Of
them called on the Speaker at his resi-
dence, and said somewhat excitedly:
Joe, Smith and Jones have lost their
positions In the poston1ce. What are we
going to do about it?"
Uncle Joe took another pun at his
cigar and then aswered, with benev-
olent smile Nothing. II you 60 into

NOT A MYTH.
Story of ''The Boy stood the
Burning Deck" Founded on Fact,

Story of "The Boy stood on the
Burning Deck" Founded on Fact.
Few people know that the boy on
the Burning Deck" is not a myth, but
an actual fact, and still fewer know
that the man who gave the order for
the destruction of the vessel, on whose
deck the aforesaid boy stood. was born
in Jamaica Plain, and lived there till
his royalist father. who objected siren
uously to the American revolution,
transplanted him to England. where he
served under Nelson In the battle of
the Nile.
The boy was French. son of the adj
miral Of the French ship rOrient, and
that was the vessel that blew up with
the immortal boy standing by the
mainmast
The boys unconscious destroyer,
Capt. Benjamin Hallowell. was born in
the old Boylston house still standing at
the corner of Boylston and Center
streets. in Jamaica Plain. The house
was built in 1926 by the Boylstons and
sfterward passed to the rabid royalist
