HOW PADDY COMMITS SUICIDE.
An Old Police Sergeant Makes Some
Observations on the Weather
and It's Effects,

Good suicide weather." the grizzled
old sergeant behind the desk of one
OF the New York police stations OBJ
served, as he glanced out at the dull,
overwhelming clouds from which the
rain sifted down in a never ending
drizzle, says the Chicago Times Herald.
"A good day for suicides over here"
he continued, musingly. IF German
Is going to kill himself he waits for lust
such day as this. Even if he don't
intend to kill himself three or four
days like this will soon drive him to it.
Wen be apt to have three or four cases
reported before roll call.
"Now, it's different with n Frencbman
When German feels blue it makes him
all the bluer if the weather's bad. But
n Frenchman, when he is crossed in love
or has gone broke, thinks the weather
is symPathizing with him if it rains
when he is feeling badly. When he
makes up his mind to commit suicide
he'll invariably carry out his intention
on sunshiny day. The worlds bright
ness seems only to mock him."
And what about the Ir;shman.
sergeant?" asked the new policeman.
Look here, young man." said the
sergeant, with just a suggestion OF
Limerick in his tone, "Irishmen don't
commit suicide. When an Irishraan

somebody, or gets beaten himself. or
failing in both instances goes home and

Can't Blur the Coroner,

London coroners are sticklers for
their rights. A box held at a railroad
station recently, owing to the railroad
officials having lost the waybill, was
opened, though it was consigned to a
Hamburg museum, and the body Of a
young woman and two skulls were
found inside. The young woman was
mummicd Peruvian and the skulls were
prehistoric, yet the coroner of the dis
trict insists on holding inquests on both
mummy and skulls unless the museum

The business men ON the north sile
OF the track have petitioned the COM
missioners to allow ball playing on
the street. This seems to us to be a
one-sided affair and no attention
should be paid to it by the board. II
no one but those on that side used the
street, there would be some justice in
the request and the commissioners
would be justified in granting the re-
quest. But such is not the case,
however. The street is used by the
people of the town and belongs to
them as a public thoroughiare and
should not be used for any other pur-
pose. Ball playing on the main
streets of the town should be prohib-
tied before some accident occurs that
causes the loss Of life or limb. The
greatest good to all the people de-
mands this.

By what means could this man be
brought to book7 How could the guilt
which seemed to be undoubtedly his be
brought home to him?
MassOn's first fear was that Coch
Tai would take the farmers questions
as warning and that he would at
once find means to escape. And at this
thought he ran toward the door of the
clubhouse, eager to follow Tregaron and
to stop the fugitive. But although he
was able to stumble across the rough,
incumbered floor and to open the outer
door by which the farmer had passed
out, he saw at once that without q Ian
tern he could not attempt to md the
traces Of his hosts footsteps.
The SNOW was still falling ttfsk1y,
in small, hard flakes that stung tfss
flesh, while the wind, which seemed %

roaring round the stout walls md
whistling between the stone shafts Of
the broken windows, whirled little
clouds of dry, powdery, snowlike
showers of spray against the sides of
the farmhouse and blinded him so
completely that his eyes could perceive
nothing more definite than big, blurred,
dark masses of what he knew to Be
walls on every side.
As he turned back, forced into re-

even Coch Tai, hardy mountaineer that
he was, would hardly dare to venture
