A boy killed seven persons In a farmhouse near Nantes, France, on night recently. The crime, whloh is one of the most terrible recorded for years was committed by a boy of fif teen, Marcel Redureau who murdered the seven people, and then went home to bed. 'Redureau was employed by a farmer named Mablt In the village of Le Landreau. He and the farmer were working In the wine vat at ten o'clock at night, when Mablt made an observation to the boy which he re sented. Redureau, who had In his hand , one of the short sharp curved knives used to trim the viaes, imme diately stabbed the farmer in the neck. This Is .the boy's own description of what happened, as the police took it down from his lips when they had 'saved him from being lynched by the villagers: "I. did ; not deserve what Mabit said to me. He bad his back turned to me, and I stabbed him with the. knifeit. Then I saw red. . I went straight into the farmhouse and cut old i Madame Mabit'8.. throat. She screamed, her daughter-in-law and the servant came running! . I killed them both. Then I went Into the children's room and cut the throats of all three (the children were eight, seven and two years). I did not see the other child, and I do not regret what I have done."

' During his stay In Ireland the dukff was the . guest of Colonel John Leslie, veteran baronet who belongs to the house of which the Karl of Rothes is the head. : Colonel LeBlle, who was formerly in the Grenadier Guards, served in the Egyptian Expedition hnd in South Africa. He is a promi nent man In County Monaghan, which his father formerly represented in the house of commons. There is an In teresting legend not accepted by the family concerning ; the ' motto which Sir John Leslie and the Earl of Rothes have adopted "Grip Fast." The story runs that as Queen Mar garet of Scotland was crossing a swollen river she was thrown from her horse. A Leslie caught hold of her girdle, whereupon the Queen cried out: "Grip fast!" and, to mark her gratitude, desired those words to be retained as her rescuer's motto. - out from : La Grande Sunday and Spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Banton.
