The murderous Intents of n Wife In Fin
land Frustrated.
An inhabitaut of Voro, in Finland,
named Sellquist, who for long time
past has been living on bad terms with
his wife, had lately a narrow escape
from being poisoned by her. She
called at a chemists, and asked for
some rat poison. AS these creatures
are very rarely seen in that neighbor-
hood, the chemist had his suspicious
aroused, and gave the woman per-
fectly harmless drug. On second
thoughts he decided to mention the
matter to the husband, and requested
him to say nothing about it to his wife.
In the evening, as she was preparing
the porridge, the man kept n watchful
eye on her movements, and noticed
that she scattered something out of a
paper into the saucepan. When the
porridge was ready he sat down to the
table and began to eat. After awhile
he got up in great excitement, paced
up and down the room and at last fell
fainting on the floor. This was what
the woman expected, She now pulled
down n rope through hole in the
ceiling with moose, which she placed
round her husbands neck, whereupon
she ran upstairs into the garnet in
order to pull up the rope and hang her
husband in that fashion. Meantime
the husband got up and tied few
chairs to the rope The wife did not
return to the room, as she dreaded the
sight, but went out into the village to

ident that WALLER ana Reynard had
fought hard and long before the dog
had succeeded in biting Oft Tie fox

for having let a fox get the best II nm
that he took down his rifle to klH
him, but Mrs. koon persuaded nm not
to shoot the poor old fellow. and she
was so sorry for Waller that for three

The fox was still barking when the
dog crept from the woods at the top OF

toward noisy Reynard between the
stumps In moment the fox spied
the dog. but he didn't run off. On tho
contrary he started straight for the
dog at lively pace, meeting him more
than half way. They clinched, and for
two or three minutes they had nip

the stones that was gamey in the ex-
treme. Mr.. koon soon became con-
vinced that it was no easy task for his
dog to lick Reynard, so he got his rifle
and stole along the edge of the woods,
thinking he might be able to ges ID shob
