A Queer Suicide,

"Cranks with the suicidal mania have
always delighted in curious methods of
doing the final shuttle" remarked citi-
zen with n penchant for oddities, ''and
the Indiana man who beheaded himself
has, think, had at least one equal. OF
course there was Ling, the Chicago an
archist, who tried to swallow dynamite
bomb while it was going off, and the
Michigan fellow who stuffed his. nose up
with white beans and then rammed a
china egg in his mouth and strangled, but

ago, was even more original.
This genius decided to drown himself
in the hathtub, but had no means Of
keeping himself under water. Finally,
however, be espied big base burner in
the next room, and so. lying down in the
tub, he dragged the heavy stove in on
top of himself and turned on the water.
The funniest part of It all was that when
the body was found it was discovered to
be badly burned, as the stove had been
hot at the time it had been pressed into
its odd service. Orleans Times

The Archdukc Albrecht Of Austria was
fond Of hunting and spent a month or
two every summer in the Tyrol and up.
per Austria in pursuit of the chamois.
On these occasions he wore hunters

shabby condition. One day he wandered
away from his party and, finding that
night was coming on, began hastily to
descend the mountain toward Ischl. Soon
he overlook girl Of 10 or 20, who was
carrying an enormous load Of firewood,
on the top of which was perched q chub-
by child about years old.
The archduke hailed her, and the girl
greeted him with anything but friendly
look. IS
What do you want" asked she.
"Can You tell me the shortest road
down to Ischl?" M
II am going there. You can follow
me-" she retorted curtly.
The archduks went on beside her, but
1t made him uneasy to see her bearing so
great load.
''This is far too heavy for you, my
girl" said he. Give me that child. T.
will carry him."
"Much you know about carrying chill
dren, old fool" she exclaimed. "No;
you take the frewood. and l will keeps
the youngster. You may well do that

he was pretty heavily laden. Then the,
girl fell to chatting him about his ridicu-.
lous appearance, and as he trudged on for
about an hour he began to be a little.

Suddenly at cross path he came upon
his suit, and their greeting at once be-
trayed his identity to the girl. She fell X
on her knees before him, and tears
sprang to her eyes when she saw two Of Il

THE WOODCHUCK.
An Animal of No Particular Use. but
Harmless and Picturesaue. &

If you happen to be walking along the
| slopes around any Of the northern Illi-
nois lakes, you may come across a large
hole in the ground, or there may be two
| holes. 1t looks like the burrow of some.
animal, and possibly it is located close to
! stump of tree, or you may come
across such hiding place in the edge Of
the woods not far from the waters edge,
and in the pastures that are rolling and
high there are found the same kind of
burrows. These are the chosen abodes Of
the woodchuck, sometimes called the
ground hog, famous for his prognostica-
tions as to the weather. He lives in these
holes and forages from field to field in an
unassuming effort to gain an honest liv.
ing. He has not single friend on earth,
and his countenance is Il melancholy and
serious one. Life for him is a constant
menace for the hand of man and boy is
against him, and the teeth Of dogs are
ever ready to close on his hide The
hawk which scars in even circles high
above him he does not fear, for he is too
heavy to be carried off as its prey. The
big white owl he is not afraid of for the
same reason, nor does he fear dogs very
much.
1t takes good dog to kill full grown
woodchuck, for the beast will fight des-
perately when cornered and is SO tough
and tenacious Of life that he will take
deal Of killing before he is really dead.
Sometimes it is drawn battle between
him and his canine enemy, each combat.
ant being quite willing to creep away
with various deep bites and scratches to
remind him Of the fray, and yet the wood
chuck, despite his rather formidable ap-
pearance, is the most peaceful of all ami
mails. He prefers very much the soli-
ttide Of nature and the beauties of field,
wood and lake to the duel with the dogs.
He is quiet citizen of the hillsides and
pastures, and were it not for man and
mans prowlins and aggressive compan-
ion, the dog, his days would flow along as
smoothly as the sun slides into the west
when twilight darkcns down the shadowy
ways and beckons to night with a yelled
and c-geSture.-New York Sun.
