AN OATH OF SELF SLAUGHTER.
An Association Formed In Saloon =
Joke Assumes Practical Shape of a Most
Hideous Nature-Am the Members Save
Three Have Killed Themselves.
Copyright, 1901
On evening, six years ago last spring, there
sat around large table in the barroom Of
John Kinzie's saloon at Bridgeport, Conn, a
half dozen men, Eve Of whom were Germans
and one American born Glasses of beer from
THE HOME OF THE CLUB.

which the froth was slowly vanishing stood
before them untasted. The companions were
not talking, save in jerky, desultory sort Of
fashion, but they smoked In grim, persistent
way that told Of meditation. The night was
warm and the door stood ajar. Outside the
rain poured down necessarily, ever and anon
the thunder growled like q wild beast hungry
for its prey, and the lightning flashed its
darts of flame across the lnky sky. An occa-
sionAl gust of wind rolled in, whereat the gas
would fare and the curling tobacco smoke
assume fantastic shapes. A blast of extra
force reused one of the number from his in
Prospective gaze.
Dreadful weather. he muttered, Selling
his glass and draining its contents. 1T gives

The others followed his example and emp
tied their mugs.
Kinzie arose with the remark: "Wel, now
you must take a round with me-
mo, sir, it's on me; whatH you have,
boysi"
The voice was that of a new conner, who
had that instant entered the door His face
wore the bright, audacious, aggressive look
Of the man OF the world, and it also bore the
stamp of youth and health and hope. Each
ones countenance frightened at his greeting,
and hands were outstretched in welcome He
took seat at the table and quaffed his beer
With the eagerness OF thirst. Then he glanced
about and queried:
whats the matter with you fellowsl When
came in you all looked as if you were ready
to kill yourselves"

Nickel, a sign painter; whats the use OF liv-

well" gayly responded the latest arrival,
news is pretty dull now, and want some
thing to make paragraphs from. Let's form
a suicide club and startle the town bit"

The Screens Must Came Down

Edgerton, Kan, is not a large town, but it
has been heard from. At the recent NUM-
cipal election the women turned out in force
and elected their ticket, which did not bear
the name Of a single man. The question at
issue was whether the billiard halls should
run with screens to the windows or not The
result OF the balloting means that the screens
must come down. Most of the young men
voted for the womens ticket because they
had to-that is, the failure to cast an anti
screen ballot meant the loss OF sweethearts
and ostracism by all the maidens of the vii
lage.

working room Of the postal employees.
AS soon as the free delivery commences
the postofflce will be closed at eight
o'clock at night, and the mail which ar
rives on the express will not be distri-
buted that night so that those who have
lock boxes can not get their letters, as
they have been doing In the past.
Remember that under the new system
Of free delivery, which Is expected to
commence on or about January 1st, you
can not get into the postofice after eight
o'clock at night, consequently the mail
which arrives on the evening train will
not be accessible to the public until the
next morning. Married men will thus
not be able to tell their wives that they
have to go down town in the evening to
get their mail, because the postofflce
will not be open after eight o'clock.
Next morning the letter carriers will
bring your mail to your office or resi-
dence, or you can rent box and go to
the postoflce and get your own mail.
Also bear in mind that what Is termed
drop letter will require a two cent
stamp In order to be delivered by the
carrier.
The money order department will be
separated from the general delivery by Q
partition.
