RECORDS DEED OF HEROISM Slab in Scottl.h Church Tetti Story of Remarkable Bravery and SelfSacrifice. In the chapel at Glenalmond school, In Perthshire, Scotland, there Is a marble slab with this stirring story recorded upon it. There was in the school a pupil named Alexander Cumine Russell, who became an officer in the Seventyfourth Highlanders when only a lad of seventeen. In connection with the memorable loss of the Birkenhead, he won Immortal glory. The troopship struck upon a rock; the soldiers were formed in ranks upon the deck to die; the women and children were being saved in boats. Russell was ordered into one of the boats to command it, and a little way off he watched with dimmed eyes the doomed ship. When she went down he saw creatures of the deep contending fcr his beloved comrades. Then he saw a sailor’s form rise up close to the boat, and a band strive to grasp the side. A woman in tho craft called out in agony, “Save him! Oh, save him, sir, ho is my husband," but there was no room for another, and the boat was laboring heavily as it was. Russell looked at the woman and then at her children, then at those beseeching eyes in the deep, and, rising in the stern, he plunged into the water, and helped the sailor into what had been his own place. Then amid a chorus of “God bless you” from everyone in the boat, the brave young officer turned to meet his death. WAS A BRILLIANT REPORTER St. Mark Declared a Shining Example for Newspaper Writer of Today. The greatest journalist the world ever knew lived 1,500 or mere years before the invention of type, according to Rev. Dr. Frank N. Palmer, says the Philadelphia Bulletin. St. Matthew put his chronicles in 28 chapters; St. Luke used 24 to tell bis story; St. John used 21, but St. Mark covered all the details more vividly in 16, and, true to the spirit of action that animates his kind, put a miracle in every chapter. St. Mark, Dr. Palmer said, was the reporter among the apostles. His viewpoint, his language and his marvelous ability to give action and climax, dash and color in a sentence should be a glowing example to the newspaper writers of this day. Each of the other apostles speaks oi skies that opened. Mark says they were rent asunder. He is the only one among his brethren who stopped dutifully to describe the color of a given scene. In the writings of his fellows it is told that the people went to the sermon on the mount. Mark writes vividly that the people ran. . In writing for the Romans he used colorful allusions and the references to wild beasts to touch their intelligence in sympathetic fashion at every stroke.

The Whole Show. The status of the office boy came up for discussion in the lobby of a Washington hotel the other afternoon and a congressman told of an incident that happened in one of the metropolitan cities, Ofle day a young man went to the office of a large firm and asked to see the head of the house. On being received by that party the young man intimated that he would like to be connected with the firm. "I see,” thoughtfully mused the head of the house. “What particular position in our establishment would you like, sir?” “I was thinking,’* loftily returned the young man, “I might be made the confidential adviser or the general manager. “Just the thing!” happily replied the boss. “You may have both jobs. I will make you the office boy." Poetry and Business. The craze for giving fantastic names to de luxe articles designed for the rich lady shopper 13 spreading. Formerly it was only costly bottles of perfume which received titles supposed to express their contents, such as “Like You,” “Temptress," “Seduction,” "Eastern Mystery." Now the great dressmaking houses are naming every model which leaves their ateliers. “Well of love” is the name of a filmy evening dress, very decollete and innocent of even the suspicion of a sleeve, which would not be upproved by critics of the slit skirt, although it is a most beautiful example of the dressmaker's art. “Daphne,” "Escapade,” “Caprice,” “Modesty,” “Frivolity,” “Imprudence,” and even “Nightmare,” are some of the titles of the latest imported dressmaker’s models. His Presence of Mind. “I went to see a.bull fight once, and one of the bulls got mad and began to tear things up fearfully. One of the poor horses got mixed up in his harness and fell down. The bpll saw the horse and dashed over to gore him to death. I couldn't bear to see such a cruel sight, so I Jumped into the arena with a pistol in my hand. When I got near the horse I Luna there was only one bullet in the gun, and I paused to think what to doshoot the horse or the bull." ‘Well, what did you do?" “i shot the horse, because I figured I could shoot the bull any time.” —Exchange.
