CHANGES HIS MIND,
Cold Bath Causes WOuId-Be Suicide to
Relinauish His Design.

A man who gave his name as James
O'Toole and said he was forty-six years
old called at the Emergency Hospital about
5 o'clock this morning and wanted to be
made comfortable for the night He was
soaking wet, and he seemed to have no
other ailment he was referred to the police.
A few minutes later he entered the first
police station and related the story of how
he ad.saved his own life only a short time
before He had endeavored to end his life
by jumping overheard at the bathing beach
after he had tied something about his waist
to keep him on the bottom. AS 1t turned
out he jumped in where the water was
shallow, and when he got wet and cold he
changed his mind about self-destruetion
Instead of wading out to where he could
have found the depth he had desired he
hurried ashore, and, after removing the
weight, wendell his way across the park to
the Emergency Hospital.
Relatives IN Boston will receive from
O.Tooie today by mail a message telling
them that by the time they receive his
trunk and letter he will be dead. He now
realizes that life Ia dearer to him than IT
was when he went to the river. His trunk
will be sent for. At the police station the
wet man told the officers that he had been
employed in the Department of Agricul-
ture and had been taken back after he had
lost his position. Yesterday, he said. he
became tired of life and thought he would
end his earthly troubles. The police dried
his clothing and gave him comfortable
bed until this morning, when he left the
station and went out to find his friends.

BLACK LEG.

1t is well known that black leg is
particularly troublesome in the fall,
and perhaps a word on the subject Of
blackleg vaccination may be of inter
est to our readers. The merits of the
operation are well proven beyond the
shadow of a doubt. so thai discussion
on hat point is not necessary. How
ever in spite of the fact that cattle
raisers recognize the necessity of vac
Cination. yet many OF them put it off
from week to week. trusting that luck
will see them through. and it is these
cattle raiScrs especially to whom we
desire to point out the danger of such
q short sighted policy. BY deferring
vaccination until the disease breaks
out in your heard or in your immediate
neighborhood. you sustain unnecessary
loss in the first instance. and court
disaster in the second. Such being the
case. vaccinate early in the fall and
place yourself on the safe side. Now
is the time to vacCinate; do not post
pone it, and then feel sore when you
lose from %blaCkleg. Another and most
important point is the vaccine. The
whole success of the operation de
ponds on the vaccine. Do not be i'm
posed upon by vendors of so-called
cheap vaccine: exercise due caution in
regard to experimental vaccines which
are distributed gratis to give expert
enCe to their makers or for govern
mental or statistical purposes. 1t is
good plan to use hat which has prov
en- successful and reliable by many
years of constant use. And see thai
it bears the name and trade mari
"~Pasteur," which you can obtain from
Frank H. E%ggleston. or Charles n
Settele of Laramie. Wyoming. who ar,
the selling agents for Pasteur Vaccine
Company, Or their general western
agents, the Live Stock Vaccine & Medi
cicn Co, 81 Railroad Building. Denver

AS TRUE AS GOSPEL.

All real confidence between parents
and children and between brothers
and sisters must depend upon an i'm
piled assurance that none others shall
share it..
The comfort and success of life de
pend so much on other relations to
other people that it would seem we
ought to give no small attention TO
the art of living happily with them.
Watch narrowly the demonstration
of a truth, its birth. and you trace
back the affiuence to its spring and
source within us; where broods radi-
ance vast. to be elected ray by ray.
God is near-a bcsetting God on the
right hand and on the left ever edu-

and striving to save and bless him.

A timid, irresolute and self-con-
scious man will often be cruel when a
large-hearted and self-reliant man
would be tender and generous. The
latter gives strength and confidence to
all with whom he mingles. They feel
