Oneer Freak of n Gohhler.

Mr.. James Gricr, who lives about five
miles east of Dawson, has a turkey
gobbler that is curiosity, says the
Columbus (O.) Enquircr-Sun. Mr..
Grier's turkeys consisted of two hens
and the gobbler. The hens made nests
about seventy-fve yards apart in Mr..
Griers melon patch, laid their nests full
of eggs and went to setting. The COB
bier got lonesome and concluded that
the proper thing for him to do was to
set also. He got an equal distance be-
tween the two turkey hens, squatted
over guinea watermelon and set six
weeks before he was discovered. Mr.
Grier thought his gobbler had been
stolen and was utterly astonished when
he found him in the patch trying to
hatch CIT young melons. ~

BOGUS SUICIDES.


Harmless Decoctiops Sold by Drug Clerks
for Pois sns.
A physician at the city hospital, talk,
ing about suicides and attempted sui.
cides the other evening, to Cincinnati
Enquirer man, said: when patient
is brought into the hospital having pre-
sumably taken poison it is an absolute
impossibility to know whether or not
such is really the case. There are sever
al reasons. Drug clerks are pretty wise
nowadays, and one of their frequently
practic~d schemes is to give harmless
decoction instead of poison to persons
who act as though they might intend
suicide. The results in such cases are
sometimes surprising. The person who
takes the alleged poison may be worked
up to such a pitch of nervous excite
ment that all the outward symptoms of
poisoning may be exhibited. That was
the state of the woman who fell un-
conscious in front of the Dennison
house the other night. She had not
taken a drop of any kind of poison
Then, very often, people are brought in
who are merely shamming. The most
remarkable ease of this kind | ever
heard of was that of young woman
who took a fake poison under very
sensational circumstances at the Grand
Central depot. She appeared to be
profoundly unconscious when received
here. She remained so while the
stomach pump was being used, and
that required little less than Spartan
nerve. But when some one made a
facetious remark about her undercloth.
ing she bit the Tube Of the stomach
pump in two in her efforts TO keep from
laughing.

Sur chaque poteau, au-dessus duquel
Sc trouvait fixee une roue enorme aux
moyeux degouttant de sang, Sc trou-

echapper les rales sourds de l'agonie
De temps a .utre, ces masses horribles
qui avaient etc DIES corps doues de vie,
s'agitaient avec un soubresaut; la tete
sonnait sur la roue ct les misarables
retombaient dams leur immobilite.
Gabor semblait lie plus vivant de

injuriant les tGmoins de son supplice
ct blasphemant lie Ciel

Get horrible spectacle puis, avec un
sang -froid don't rarement un condamne
garde la puissance, il aida au bour-
reau a lui enlever ses vetements, ct
s'etendit sur la croiX de saint Andre.
L'executeur leva la barre de fer
triangulaire ct massive, qui, retom-
bant sur lie bras gauche, lie casa au
coude. Gaspard ne poussa pas un
soupir La douleur quill ressentit
quand la barre de fer retomba sur

sur son visage. LIE bourreau rasscm-

ses voiles de deuil.
Marie-Antoinette agita le parchemin

-Qu'importe ? s'6cria Ia comtesse,

Ellie tomba aux genoux de Ia

-Altesse Imptriale, dit-elle en- lui
baisant les mains, toute ma vie je
prierai pour votre bonheur.
-Allez consoler votre mari, com

malheureux mont pas le temps
d'attendre.
La femme de Carlo baisa la main
que lui tendait rArchiduchesse. Ellie
ne sentait plus sa fatigue. II lui
sembait que pour retrouver Carlo e.
lui porter sa grace, ellie aurait pu aller
au bout du monde
Ouand ellie traversa de nouveau Ia
place de Vienne sur laquelle Sc
pressaient de lugubres travailleurs,
ellie Wit leur besogne presque achevee.
Encore une heure, ct lie bourreau,
suivi de ses aides, ferait son appari-
ton au milieu dun cortege lugubre.
Agnes courait, courait toujours.
Ellie ne voyait pas une foule impatiente

murmure sourd DIES masses discutant
sur les p6rip6ties probables du drame

-Votre mari sera conduit aux
