LABOR SAVING SCHEME.
Devie.. of "a Kansas Benefactor to Give
Iaborers Moro Sleep.

Devie. of Kansas Bencfactor en- Civ,
Laborers More sleep.
John Mcdonald, an industrious and
frugal Scotchman Of Armeurdale, cub
arb of Kansas City, Kan, is receiving
the BLESSINGS Of his fellow laborers lie
has figured out an extra hours sleep in
the morning a boon for the toilers who
must be- at shop and factory at 2 a. m.
Mr.. Mcdonald is mechanical engineer,
who keeps a horse to drive 10 his work
every morning. But there were some
inconveniences attached to it by reason
Of the necessity of leaving warm bed
an hour earlier in the morning in order
that the horse as well as Mcdonald
might have time to eat and digest his
breakfast.
Mcdonald finally figured out device
that would obviate this thing. Above
the horses manger he constructed box
with the bottom Of it made in the form
of trap that drops down when catch
is pulled. Attached to a catch is wire
that runs up to pulley suspended from
the floor of the hayloft. 1t passes over
the pulley and out through small hole
in the side Of the barn above the door.
From there it is stretched along the
yard, through rings at the top of poles,
and is passed through small aperture |
in the casing at the top of the back door |
Of the house, thence around the kitchen
wall, up stairway to McDonald's bed
room, terminating with wooden ham
n in arm g reach IF bic had
AT night when Mcdonald reaches
home and stables his horse, he fixes his
bedding Of straw, puts sufficient guam
tity of hay in the rack for two meals,
puts measure of feed in the animals
manger for supper and in the box over
his manger for breakfast. Then his sta
bic work is done for the night, and for
he morning too. At o'clock in the
morning Mcdonald awakens and pulls
he string at his bedside, and the feed
lrops from the box to the manger, and
he horse has before him his breakfast.
Mcdonald turns over and sleeps till 6
o'clock. Then he gets up and has moth.
ng to do but eat his own breakfast,
itch up and go to work.
Mcdonald is not yet satisfied. He has
mind a swinging harness that will
rop ON the horses back and snap to-
ether when the catch ON the feed box
pulled. He says his only desire is to
invent such combination Of labor saw.

DREW THE FATAL NUMBER.
Suicide Club Member Was to Die Last
Month, but Was Prevented.

Walter ]. Mcbride of Honolulu re-
Gently became insane, it is said, through
drawing the fatal number in suicide
club which he joined about six years
ago in Seattle. According to the story,
Mcbride received his summons about a
year ago and was doomed 60 take his
life last month, following in the foot
steps Of five other members of the club.
Mcbride drew the fatal number, but
had IL months in which 10 kill him.
self The matter weighed SO heavily on
! his mind that bis reason became unbal-
anced and through his strange actions
and nightly rawlings his friends learned
the truth.
Mcbride is only about 30 years Of
age but during the Seattle boom in the
early part of this decade he is said to
have made $50, 000 every dollar Of
which he lost when the bottom fell out
Of the boom. A dozen young men Of his
set shared the same i'll fortune, and
while drowning their troubles in wine
one night they decided that life was
not worth living. Some one suggested
suicide club, and the idea was adopted. |
The club was formed and each of the |
l3 members took solemn oath to fol-
low out its object. Lots were drawn
that night, and within "a hours there.
after one member was dead by his own
hand.
Mcbride returned to Honolulu about
four years ago and secured position in
Bishop e. Co S bank, where he rose to
paying teller He made considerable
money in sugar stock and was again
IN the high road to prosperity when the
TO die came. That was year
lgo, but through the unanimous action

Mcbride had "a years time, but last
month he was to commit suicide
Mcbride had made preparations to
