HE TOOK MORPHINE.
THEODORE WANDER STRATTEN
ENDS HIS LIFE.
Dependency Over Business and
Other Troubles the Cause
Lived Until Morning.

Theodore Wander Stratten, an
old resident Of this city, died at ]
o'clock this morning from an over
dose Of morphine, believed to have
been taken with suicidal intent.
Mr.. Wander Stratten lived at 31s
Blum street, and was taken Sc
riously ill yesterday afternoon. A
doctor was summoned at once and
he administered 10 the patient. A
bottle supposed to contain NOR
phine was found in the room. This
the physician is said to have taken
along with him, but he did not
return to the house. AT Ii o'clock
last night Mr.. Wander Stratten be-
came very low and DR.. r. Menger
was hurriedly summoned. When
the physician arrived the patient
was beyond all medical aid. His
heart beat very low and his pulse
was almost gone. At l o'clock this
morning he breathed his last.
The deceased was SO years of age
and has lived in San Antonio many
years, being the head of q large
and we'll known family here.
What led the old gentleman to
take his own life is not known, but
dependency over business and
other troubles that have befallen
him lately Is believed to be the
cause Of his act.
Several years ago August Van
der Stratten mysteriously disap-
peared and has not been heard
from since. He was at that time
foreman OF Kampmann's ranch.
The father grieved a great deal
over this occurrence. g..
Later a daughter took strychnine
and was found near the cemeteries
on East Commerce street.
After that Adolph Wander STRAIT
ten shot himself while at New
Braunfels from which he died.
Mr.. Wander Stratten's house was
the one which was damaged in the
fire at 1927 Santa Clara place last
Sunday, and the deceased was unl
der the impression that the in
surance company was not going to
pay him. This bothered him con-
siderably and he went or a spree.
All Tuesday night he was away
from home, being brought in at 5
o'clock yesterday morning.
Justice Jones held the inquest.
He took the evidence of Mrs. Teresa
5cherer this morning. She said:
81 live at No. 3lS Blum street, and
the deceased lived in a building to
the rear Of the house in which /

about 10 o'clock / heard him
making peculiar noise, and /
went to his room to wake him up.
/ called to him, but he made no re-
ply. / then took hold of his arm
and shook him, and he sat on the
bed and said he was not feeling
very we'll. ] made him a strong
cup Of coffee. He drank it and
said that he felt better. He then
went back to bed. Soon after NJ.

and could not wake him. He wen.
right away and telephoned for DR..
Hadrs, but could not get him. DR.

ROGUE ELEPHANTS.
Ono OF them Had Terrible drudge
Against Watch Towers.

Ono OF them Had Terrible drudge
Against Watch Towers
The complete history of rogue cle-
plants would make an interesting
chapter. They seers to have decided
to avenge mans wrongs against their
kind. Some years ago one rogue act
ually took possession of a stretch Of
country in India forty miles wide by
one hundred long, and in business
like way proceeded to demolish every
thing in or about it. The animal rushed
into the villages, took huts upon his
tuslSs and tore them apart, or tossed
them until they fell in splinters 1t
chased the people away, or killed them
whenever it could, or, standing by tho
wrecked houses, it ate the grains and
stores.
This elephant seemed remarkably in
tclligent. 1t entertained in particular
n grudge against the watch towers or
scaffolds. Whenever this rogue saw
one, he would creep slyly, spring at it,
push it to the ground and kill it's occu-
pant.
A famous rogue elephant named
"Mandla" was owned by rich man
near Jubbulpore in central India. Sud-
denly it began to develop the. charac-
teristics of ''rogue," and attacked hui
man beings wherever seen. 1t killed
them SO cruelty that it became widely
known as ''the man-eatcr." He was
finally destroyed by an organized effort
of English army officers.
Another famous rogue took posses
sion of n public road and attacked every
passer-by. Suddenly darting from the
Jungle, it would rush up to an ox-cart,
seize the driver with it's trunk, and dis
appear. Repeated raids of this kind SO
terrified the people that large tract
of land was to all intcnts and purposes
deserted; but finally an English hunter
determined to rid the country of the
rogue BY careful inquiry he found
that the elephant always seized tho
driver, and II there were two carts in
company, 1t chose the driver of the
last. So he arranged two ox-carts, put
ting dummy driver upon the second,
while upon the first was a stout bam-
boo cage in which the hunter was to
sit rifle in hand. When all was ready
the two oy-carts started, one day, fol-
lowed by the hopes and best wishes OF
the community. The fatal district was
soon reached, and, about halfway down
the road, there came crash, and the
monstrous elephant, dark and ugly,
dashed upon the party. Making di-
rcctly for the last cart, with a vicious
swing of it's trunk, it seized on the
dummy man and made Off, receiving us
it went n shot from the cage. But the
oxen, alarmed by the uproar, ran
away, leaving the road and taking to

THE RUDDER.


OF what are you thinking, my little lad. with
the honest eyes OF blue,
AS you watch the vessels that slowly glide
DER the level ocean floor?
Beautiful, graceful silent as dreams, they pass
away from our Wow.
And down the slope OF the world they 60, to
seek some far on shore.
They seem to be scattered abroad by chance,
to move at the brceze's will,
Aimlessly wandering hither and yon, and
melting in distance gray
But each one moves to q purpose Arm. and the
winds their sails that MI
Like faithful servants speed them all on their
appointed way
For each one has q rudder, my dear little lad,
with stanch man at the wheel,
And the rudder is never left to itself, but the
will of the man is there;
There is never moment, day or night, that
the vessel does not feel
The force Of the purpose that shapes her
course and the helmsman's watchful care
Some day you will launch your ship my boy,
on LIES wide treacherous seas
Be sure your rudder Is wrought OF strength,
to stand the stress OF the gale;
And your hand on the wheel, don't let IL finch
whatever the tumult be,
For the will OF the man. with the help OF God
shall conquer and prevail
