An Ohio saloon keeper hanged hi, J.
self the other day just ssbecause he had
nothing to live for" Still, it would be
just as well for man not to hang him

something to die for.-Burlington HaaOk-

That Platteville (Wis.) man who
coughed up a piece of iron weighing an
ounce and a half, the which was shot
into his eye during the German revolu-
ton of 1913, reminds us of the Chicago
police lieutenant, who was so frequently
perforated by the enemy during the late
unpleasantness that, even to this day,
the buckshot roll from his boots when he
retires at night. Fact!-Chicago Nevs.
The Sacramento Bee says that Dep
uty Assessor Harvey was recently at the
depot watching the Cinnamon who were
departing in order to catch those who had
not paid their poll-tax. He saw two
coolies. apparently about thirty-two
years old, who were sinking out of
sight. He approached them and asked
them if they had paid their poll-tax. One
cried out: ''Me no pay; me over Sixty
two; to muchee old" The other said:
''Me no twenty-one too muchee young,
no pay" Then observing the incredu-
lous look of the officer, they both threw
up their hands, one solemnly saying:
.'Me swear alice same in clourt," the
other adding: ''Me Clistian Chinaman;
no tellee lie." They had to pay, how
ever, before they went aboard the train.
"A Paris paper publishes these al
legged statements of a Partisan river
Sportsman concerning human bodies
floating in the river: II always know
beforehand if it is man or woman. II
the body has the face upward it is a
woman; if it floats with its nose in the
water, it is that of man. I have re-
marked that man who has been thrown
into the water after being assassinated
reappears on the surface much earlier
than one who has fallen in by accident
or has drowned himself. The time the
body remains beneath the water shows
whether it is case of accident or muir
der" This curious information is valu-
able in proportion to its truth. As navi-
cation is open the watchers along the
rivers may verify it.-N. Y. World.
Here is romance. The names of
the parties are omitted, not so much on
account of the family as because they are
Hungarian, and we have not the space to
give them; but in the Hungarian village
of Belenyes, a very beautiful young
widow who kept wine shop was courted
by two, one handsome man of forty
five, the other youth of twenty-one.
Jealous of his rival, the youth laid in
wait to kill him, made the attack, and
was killed himself. Investigation fol-
lowed, and brought out the remarkable
fact that the rivals were father and son,
and that the girl was daughter of the
eldest sutton and sister of the youth.
During the infancy of the children the
family had been separated, and had re-
manned separated until the facts brought
the survivors thus strangely together

"A great multitude gathered at At
lanta to see an incendiary fire. Mr..
Joiner had announced that at q certain
hour he would burn Mr.. Shehan's house.
The police stretched rope to keep back
the crowd, and the fire department
was on hand. When the appointed time
came Joiner poured kerosene oil over the
floors of the building and piled some
bundles of paper in the basement.
Shehan forbade him to do it, and threat.
ened him with legal punishment, but he
would not stop, and his match soon set |
the structure ablaze. The police did
nothing. and the firemen simply pre-
vented the flames from igniting the
buildings. 1t may be well to
add that there had been case of small
pox in the house and the destruction was
by order of the Health Board.-Phila. |
