81 persons killed themselves by Jumping

by jumping from heights, II by stahbing,
s by burning aud each by scalding and

two-thirds of the self murders are COM

suicide by hanging, for example, show
that the maximum of such cases occur
between and o'clock in the morning,
the number decreases slightly till noon,

there being 1913 cases between 10 and IL,
against only 30 between IL and 2 o'clock.
The number rises in the afternoon to 1O4

The girl without brother is especially
to be pitied. She is the girl who is never
certain of getting the pleasures Of life
unless she Is very attractive. OF course
she has no brother who she is certain
will take her everywhere; she is apt to
get little bit vain. for she has no
brother to tell her. as only a brother
will, Of her faults and mistakes 1t is
only the somewhat doubtful tact OF n
brother that announces, Il wouldn't
walk up the street with you in that
frock,, and the girl whose brother says
this to her may be certain that he il only

gentle way, bnt he does tell the truth.
and If you ask him why paying visit to
another girl is more desirable than 10

Cowboys Make a Conductor Dance.


a band of cowboys in Montana had long
noticed course of behavior on the part of
a Northern Pac fic train conductor which
they determined not to tolerate. The CON
ductor did the worst thing, in cowboy
opinion, that any man could do-he acted
like dude; he put on style" He actu-
ally went so far as to swing himself off the
cars before they stopped, and, with one
arm extended and head Extensively erect,
would shout: -'Dingleville! All out for
Dingleville!' His whole manner was arti-
fetal, affected and unbearable.
This being nOticed-aLd no one is quicker
to notice the hollow trickery of an eastern
man than cowboys are-the boys decided
to take him down" So one day they as
sembled on the station platform in a semi
circular line, into the curve of which he
must run as he leaped from the moving
cars. The conductor did as he was ex-
pected to, the cowboys surrounded him,
and he was hidden to dance.
'Dancep' they shouted. Dance, or we'll
shoot the toes of your
At the words each cowboy pulled his
pistol and began shooting down into the
platform planks, not exactly at the con
ductor's feet, but so as to narrowly miss
them. They blazed away and he danced
until, after he was all but exhausted and
they had no more shots to fire, they babe

Hun ting for a Prince.

In the latter half of the Sixteenth cen
tury the little province of Pennsylvania
was in state IF revolution and consequent
disorder. Finally there came a time when
there was no ruler and the Turkish sui
tan sent word 20 Ali Pasha, then at Maros
Nasarhely, that, come what might, a
prince of Pennsylvania must be elected.
Ali Pasha was in a quandary. He stood
at his window, as the story runs, meditat-
ing upon his sovereign's commands, not
knowing what to do and yet afraid to do
nothing, when he saw a tall, strong man
crossing the market place.
At that time, and especially in that
country, strong arm was the best patent
of nobility. A. home Ali Pasha had seen
the lowest slaves lifted to places of power
He sent messenger into the market place
with instructions to bring the tall, strong
man into his presence. The order was
obeyed, and as the stranger entered he was
greeted with the words, You must be
prince of Pennsylvania"
.Ir' exclaimed the astonished prince
elect. II! l know nothing about govern
ment! l can't read or writel l am a

"a man may be an excellent regent though
he cannot read
But the butcher was not ambitious, and
still resisted.
If you want a man as prince of Tran
sylvania " he said, Il can tell you of one
who has no equal. If you will, let US go
and find him. will lead you"
With 500 Turkish horsemen Ali Pasha
and the butcher rode to Malmkrog and
surrounded the castle of Michael Apaffi,
whom they hailed at once as prince, car
ried to Maros Easarhely, and proclaimed
as a regent. This was in 1861, and the
| prince thus chosen remained in power I'M
