by Hanging Himself In His Home.

aged about 40 years, committed suicide

wire with his feet touching the bed.
During the time Mrs Martin was in the
kitchen getting supper, but failed to
hear his struggles.

man may owe a good deal to his tailor.
Many a man who says he would

be either.
The top round of the ladder of fame
is as difficult to reach as the north pole.
The optimist who can't appear cheer

Lots of men try to imagine they have

The surest way to get out of love is

Mans pursuit of woman catches her;
woman'S pursuit of man loses him.
Satan will use most any fool to tempt
man, but when it comes to woman he
employs no substitute.
A mans success with a woman de-

Every time a woman practices econ
