one of the most noted characters of the

ences in the way of requests made for
the redemption of unused tickets or

a few days ago surpassed anything Of

Ihat the tendency toward suicide is

ed are numerous, and in the majority of
cases they are trivial, considered from

Physical and mental disease play an
important part in driving people of SEN

Failure in business, domestic trouble,

causes for recent suicides. The impulse
that impels a man to desert his wife
and children in the midst of the battle
OF life cannot be a worthy one. The
husband who seeks relief in suicide
from real or fancied grievances and
leaves his wife and children to con-
