---- * BANK CLERK SANK TO DEATH Was Steering Yacht He Was Swept Overboard. Near Ottawa When A despatch from Ottawa says: W. A. Green, aged 21, of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, who has been a teller in the Union Bank here for the past year, was the victim of a pathetic yachting acci- cent on Lake Deschenes, 9 miles from Ottawa, on Wednesday afternoon. Green and Mr. and Mrs. Laidlaw, their two sons, and Miss Brewder made up a merry party whch left Ayl- mer in a yacht in the morning and sulled across the lake to Shirley Bay. On the return trip in the afterncon the yacht was running free bef re a heavy breeze, and Green was slanding cn the Ceck handling the tiller. Suddenly the Taainsail jibed and Green was swept in- lo the lake by the boom. A life preserver was thrown to him, but he failed to get it and before the yacht could be brought about, he had sunk. Miss Brewder, who was Green's flan- cce, became hysterical and subsequently unconscious, and was revived with dif- ficulty after the arrival of the yacht at Aylmer. Green's body has not been recovered, FAMILY DESERTION. Children's Aid. The following ts taken from the ex- cellent report of Mr. J. J.

The boys mother and father separated some years ago, with the re- | sull thal the poor woman has to go out hcusecleaning Wo earn her living. The boy, although so young, hes leen en- gaced as a messenger and has been thrown into daily temptations beyond his years of moral strength. Twice al- ready he has been In the hands of the pelee and is regarded as having a crim- inal rceord. Just think of it, a litle fellow barely out of the kindergarten class who 1s known to the police and detective force as a dangerous youth, and this I was assured was the fact!
