BOSTON CHILD KEPT DIGNITY
Matron Meant to Be Kindly, But
Youngster Was Not Converse
tlonally Inclined.

This story has been going the
rounds Of Boston about the ten-year-
old son of Director Russell of the
Boston opera house.
One evening during an entr'acte at
the opera house Master Russell was
promenading alone in the foyer, in
faultless evening dress-a very glass
of fashion. A Boston matron, seeing
that he was lonely, began to make
herself agreeable"
you are Director Russells little
boy, aren't your" she asked, with
patronizing sweetness.
Master Russell resented this intru-
sion on his dignity, but his courtly
manners were unruffied. Eyes, mad
am" he replied, with an elaborate
bow.
Where were you born?"
I'm France, madam"-slightly more
frigid.
What part?" continued the lady,
feeling the conversation well started
"All of me, madam"
And he bowed and walked away

his heart had been touched by the old

"a Philadelphia was deer hunting
in Maine. He shot four or five shots
into a thick copse, and then he

Half a dozen sportsmen issued
from the copse hurriedly.

Suicide Among German Children.

Why do so many German children
commit suicide? No one seems to
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed~it has been said that
the majority of suicides are those of
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That 1.-THE weak
must go to the wall has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind of
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the encouragement of failure. 1t
would be interesting to know if any of
the so-called heather countries of the
world have ever experienced such a
horrid social phenomena as that of
child suicide.

UP. TITANICsS END
Mount Temples Captain Tells
Dramatic Story of Helpless
ness as &C. Q. D." Flashed
Over Ocean.
Washington, April 27.-Cap-
tain Moore, of the Canadian
steamer Mount Temple, was the
principal witness before the Sem
ate Committee investigating the
Titanic disaster.
The grizzled old sea-dog, a vet
eran of the sea, told his story,
shortly and directly. That took
nothing from the story's dramatic
force. \
AT 1925 O'Clock on the night of
Sunday, April IA, the Mount
Temple. received the first of the
Titanic's &C Q. D" calls for
help.
The Mount Temple then was
40 miles. distant from the Titan
les position. Captain Moore
turned his ship about and sailed
directly from the stricken liner.
At 3:25 o'clock Monday morn
ing, the Mount Temple was
caught in the ice, and held help
less and irnmovabIe fourteen
miles from where the Titanic had
gone down.
In the morning, the wireless
operator of the Mount Temple
caught the messages from the
Carpathia saying it was too late
for any other vessel to help the
Titanic.
