a CASE OF SUICIDE.
Tho Body OF An Upknown Man rcurd on IL
Tree,

Tho Body OF An UpknOwn Man nc nTd on u
Tree.
Aaron Leeds, while passing along the
road near Mlllway on Saturday, found the
body Of man hanging on a tree. He
alarmed the neighborhood and the man
was cut down. The deputy coroner held
an inquest and the verdict was one of
suicide. Nothing was found on the
suicide by which he could be identified.
The coroner's physician gave it as his
opinion that the man had been hanging for
fifteen days. A farmer in the neighborhood
stated that two weeks ago a man came to
his house begging he said that he was
going to the almshouse in Reading that
he was tired of living, and threatened to
hang himself. IL is believed that deceased
was that person. The body was brought to
the almshouse and buried there this m )rn
ing.

Peck's Bad Boy And His Pa.
by George W. Peek

Bv george W. Icrk
"Your pa got over being scared
out of his boots 2" said the grocery
man to the bad boy as he took up q
handful of hickory nuts and began
cracking them between a couple Of
five pounds weights on tho coun-
ter.
"What do you mean? Who told
you pa had been scared p asked the
boy as he put his thumbin his mouth
after knocking the nail Off with a
weight. 81 didn't know as anybody
knew anything aboat it but me and
the girl
90, a brakeman that runs on the
Chicago train was in here this morn
ing and he told me your pa came up
on the train last night, and along
there about Kenosha he wentthrough
the train as though he had been kick
ed, and got into the postal car and
crawled under a lot of mail sacks
and rode AIN the way TO Milwaukee,
sweating like butcher, and as pale
as ghost. What was it all about
You haven't been playing another
trick on him have you?" and the
groceryman picked up the hickory
nuts the boy had left and threw them
in the basket, while the boy wrapped
a handkerchief around his thumb and
looked mad.
-"No, | didn't play anything on him
but | saved his life, lie is an ole
smarty, and got himself into a scrape
You sec pa and me went down tC
Chicago on pass pa pot somehow il
politics. We took in the battle o
Gettysburg, where a fellow can SCI
all about the war without getting
shot in the back. We came back OF
the five o'clock train, and of course
pa couldn't sit with me, but had t
go and sit in a seat with a girl tha
was alone. Pa hasn't got any NOR
sense than a COW about such things
A girl don't want an old duffer TO 81
with her. What she wants is a youn:
feller, that has got bears oil Oh hi
hair, and smells sort of drug-stor
like. But pa thinks he is just as en-
tertaining as when he was young
