In Brooklyn the other day a man male
all arrangements to Kill his wife and his
child and then commit suicide. He went
so FAR toward carrying out his plans that
he wounded his wife slightly. At that
point, however. ne suddenly revised his
scheme. and concluded 20 kill himself only,
and let his wife and child live II they
wished 20. And this latter determination
he carried out His partial return 20 rea-
son was timely. and his example is worthy
Of emulation by those who contemplate
wholesale murder and suicide. If the
would-be suicide has made up his MIND
that he VIII take his life, despite re-
monstrances. let him refrain from taking
the lives of others who are still attacked
to the world. This plan would hare the
effect OF leaving the suicide with a stead
Ter hand for his own execution.

Judge Wilson of a Cincinnati court has
just delivered an oral opinion IN which is
contained an expression which will for
ever bar him from political preferment
under any government by and for the COM
ing woman. Amy man who gives all
of his salary TO his wife is a fool" said
the judge. MY experience has taught me
that the average woman has no idea of
the value of money. The exception is the
old German market woman" The fine
scorn with which the new woman will re-
ceive this deliverance can be better i'm
agined than described.

Those who have been anxious about
the supply of coal, fearing that it win
be exhausted before long. need give them
selves no further concern on that score
for awhile. The report of the Geological
Survey says that surveys and examina-
tions of the coal beds OF PENNSYLVANIA
have shown that at the present rate of
consumption the supply will not be ex-
hausted for 800 years or more. Before
that period of time has elapsed, the prob
abilities are that there will be no need for
coal. and that water fails and the waves
and the tides will supply all the heat and
power that may be needed.

The prospects are that Peru and Bolivia
will be the next of the South American
republics to test their strength against
each other. Bolivia has demanded Of Perm
an answer as TO whether or not she will
give her satisfaction for alleged offenses
committed against her during Boiivla's
recent civil war, and Peru has declined to
be bullied by her neighbor. Peru has
not done any real fighting since she got
whipped by Chile. and it may be that she
is rather disposed TO do a little fightine

The Bank Was Closed.

Philadelphia Times: One night recently a
resident of Manchester procured some crabs
and tied them up in a paper. He reached
home at midnight, and in the quiet of the
parlor undid the package. The fish had
apparently gone to sleep for the night, and
to give them some animation he poured a
few drops of whiskey on them from a con-
venient bottle and then emptied the crea-
lures into his trousers pockets. Soon all
was quiet in his bed room, aud he success
fully cpunterfeited his accustomed Scandi-
navian shores. Then the partner of his
room quietly arose and proceeded to do
some banking business with his trousers,
which hung on their usual peg. 1t is said
that Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko
FELL" Well, if she ever shrieked as did
this female when she got a couple of mad
crabs on the ends of her taper fingers it
would have scaled all the wh;tewash off
every ceiling in Poland. When a woman
can yell SO that it curdled all the milk in the
neighborhood you can rest assured that as
the saying is, there is something in the air.
She continued to shrek until she exhausted
all the atmosphere there was in the house.
by which time the crabs got frightened and

Too Much style for L.o.

During the late state convention OF tho
Young Peoples Christian Endeavor Union,
held In Seattle, Wash. every hospitable
home was, of course. willing to shelter and
help entertain the numerous delegates.
Among those who thus offered the hospi-
tality of their homes was q gentleman hav-
ing an elegant home on Beacon Hill, who,
for want of . better name and for the pur-
pose Of thus story. will be called Black,
White or any other color.
In assigning the delegates the COM
mittee came across the Beacon Hill name,
and, trusting to the fate that no offense
would be given, i've Siwashes from the
Puyallup reservation, who were among
the delegates, were sent to that address.
When the tribe arrived with their para
phernalia, there was CONSERVATION In the
household, but the good people took them
In with true Christian spirit The Indians
were ushered across the threshold and they

Immediately took warning and refused to

and their rigid, stole figures took In the
appearance of the tobacco sign.
After that the Indians could not be
c0axed into the house-except for dinner
and they spent the time for the next few
days, squatting under the trees and hold
ing councils of war. It is also related
that at night they were SO afraid of those
smooth floors that they would enter the
house on their hands and knees. They
were happy when the convention closed,
for they were of the firm conviction that
an attempt had been made to main and
injure them-that they were victims Of a
deep-laid conspiracy.

He tore him from the merry throng
Within the billiard hall;
He was COTTON up ~regardlessly
To pay his early call.
His thoughts were dark and dire within.
Disc0rte0us TO fate;
"Ah, me, these social debts incurred
Are hard to liquidate."
His boots are slender, long and trim,
His collar tall and swell.
His hats are made by Dunlap.
And his coats were cut BY Bell;
A symphony In black and white,
''Of our set" the pride,
Yet he fingered on his way
He would that he had died.
Hisfeet caressed the lonely way,
The pave gave forth nc sound;
They seemed in plying silence clothed
West End-ward he was bound.
He approached the mansion stoathily,
The steps look cold and chill;
He glanced into the vestibule.
But ali was calm and still.
He fingered nervouslv the bell,
His card case In his hand,
He saw the mirror In the hall
Solemn, stately grand
Suddenly his spirits rose,
The drawing-roOm looked dim;
The mental filed his soul with Joy
With mo! there's 10 ~ In"
With findish glee he stole away,
His heart was gay aud light,
Happy that he went and paid
His party call that night,
His steps turned to the billiard hall,
Blissfully he trod;
He entered, What returned SO soOn?"
Replied, '.She's out, thank God"
Sixteen cues were put to rest
Within their upright beds,
And sixteen different tiles were placed
On sixteen level head;
Sixteen men upon the street,
In solid phalanx all,
And sixteen men on duty bent
To pay their party call.
| When the fairest of her sex came home
At early dawn, I ween-
She slowly looked the cards all out,
They numbered seventeen.
With calm relief she raised her eyes,
Filled with grateful light,
70, mercifui fate, look down and see
What I've escaped this night"
