Mol Quito Ready 10 Die.

A certain young man who was suffer
ing from a spree, went yesterday after
noon into a Ferguson street establish
ment and unceremoniously knelt before
the proprietor, asking his forgiveness
for being in such a condition. Tile
gentleman thus addressed tried to
pacify him, but could not, and finally
referred him to the clerks. The young
persistent then turned to the senior
clerk, and on his knees pleaded to be
shot, offering to sign his own death
warrant. Finding him persistent the
clerk decided to try and dispel his NOR
bid desire for death by means of a
practical joke. So a death warrant,
solemnly worded in long and sonorous
phrases, was drawn up by one of the
clerks, to which the petitioner affixed
his name, remaining still upon his
knees. The first clerk then drew a re-
volver and ordered the victim to close
his eyes, which raj done. A fire.
cracker was meanwhile silly ignited and
placed on the floor at the back of the
the fellow, who with pale face and
anxious expression awaited the fatal
shot. Suddenly the cracker exploded
and at the same time the young man
overcame all desire to shuttle of this
mortal coil, and with a howl and bound
he was out of the store, fully persuaded
that his time had not yet come.
