This subject could BIO dwelt upon to
considerable length, and yet much
would remain untold, but all agree that
the use, the proper use OF pure rye
whiskey is an absolute necessity, especi-
ally so now, when nature insists upon
being stimulated. All regular physici-
ans prescribe rye whiskey, and Justly
claim that KIein's Silver Ago and Du-
quesne Whistles are most reliable.
They do this not only because they have
tried them but because the leading hos
pitfalls use them-fnd them the best
stimulants in the world. Silver Age

To Whom II May Concern:
The writer has this morning taken
his life by drowning in Lake Michigan.
ain native OF Russia The future Of
the world is with Russia-how / love
her! Russia, the oldest union OF the
most absolute barbarism and the most
polished civilization that the world
holds. Society has nothing SO perfect
ly cultured rs the Russian patriclan;
Europe has nothing so barbarously ig-
norant as the Russian peasant.
Content is thing which no one can
create; discomfort almost any one can
bring about with n word! What is the
curse OF our age? That every class is
wretched because it is straining forever
on tiptoe trying to reach into the class
above il.
AS the son OF one OF the MODEST, one
of the oldest families OF Russia | was
happy in st. Petersburg until one day
in tho grand galleries met 4 young
woman from America-from Baltimore
with whom, TO shorten story, l fell
in love and followed to America, only to
be rejected and find that was dying Of

posing to continue on to Colorado. But
here decided upon death; decided to
90 to death instead OF waiting its COM
ing to me. My affairs are in order; my
things sent back to Russia. Under
such circumstances rs mine suicide is
not cowardly-only a privilege depend
ent upon choice and willingness 10
assume responsibility for ones soul.
That responsibility l assume know
ingly. l. v.
I'm this country it is n crime Tor
man to attempt his own life" said the
man, who,had gone to 70 much trouble
to restore the letter, "but | will not
hand you over to the police il you will
promise me on your honor not to at
tempt your life again."
"Well," said the would-be suicide,
"your proposition accept"
He was assisted to the railway station
near by, thinking first to take train
down into the city, but afterwards de-
cided to 90 in q carriage. His hat, coat,
vest, and shoes were brought for him
from the pier.
Before the door OF the carriage closed
on him, he took from his shirt-front the
diamond and pressed it upon his bene.
factor, and with instructions to the
driver that he be taken downtown was
driven away.

At this question the young man made
an effort to continue the chase, but
again fell to the ground.
What clothing he had on was OF fine
quality. a diamond flashed on his
shirt, and another, set in Roman gold,
was on the third finger Of his left hand.
In his dark, thin face and bad cough
was easily detected tho fact that con-
sumption had secured death grip on
him.
"l'll wait here and see If my letter is
recovered" he said.
Fifteen minutes later the owner Of
the dog returned with the letter and
said: Young man, it's lucky, | guess,
that my dog did just what he did-isn't
it?"
"You have read my letter, then?"
"Yes. II it hadn't been addressed To
