that went into the great oil combine

hitting Suicide.

A certain East end man delights in doing
odd jobs about his home. He cuts his grass
and trims the walks, and handles a paint
brush like an old master. Carpenter tools
come handy to him, too, and the soupd Of his
merry saw makes pleasant musicHior the
neighbors, who have no objection to being
awakened early. In short, he is a clever all
round workman, and decidedly handy to
have about the house.
One day not long ago the woman of the
house next door happened TO come out on her
back porch. There she casually looked over
the low fence into the handy mans yard
What she saw scared her so that she couldn't
move hand or foot. The handy man was ly-
ing prone on his back, his body concealed
beneath his porch, but with his face in strong
relief. He was very pale, his hair was dis
fixed in a CHASTITY intentness. Against his
breast he seemed to be. pressing some deadly
weapon that gistened as ray of light
touched it.
The woman on the porch tried to scream,
and couldn't. She knew the handy man was
committing suicide.
He painted, his face grew red, and his form
seemed convulsed.
The woman on the porch caught her agon-
lied breath and was about to let out 40
horse power yell when she heard the sup
posed suicide anxiouslyo ask:
Isn't it through yet"
"Yes," said voice from above, at been
yoost through
About this time the woman on the porch
understood that the handy man was boring
an auger hole through the floor of his porch,
that the deadly weapon was an auger, and
that the hired girl was on hand to watch
the operation.
Then the woman on the porch was glad she
didn't yell.-Cleveand Plain Dealer.
