Mercur, Sept. IA negro boy u
years of age committed suicide at Man
ming Thursday evening by taking
strychnine. The boys father, John
Defrance, bought some strychnine some
time ago to destroy animals which
were killing his chickens. After using
some he put the remainder in q bottle
on the shelf and told his son Perry
never to touch it as it would kill him.
The boy lived alone with his father,
who is employed emptying tanks at the
Golden Gate mill.
Thursday morning before going to
work he told his son to put out some
water for the chickens The boy had
forgotten it several times before and
his father said if he forgot this time
he would give him good thrashing.
The boy played around with the
neighbOrs' children during the day and

A Mathematician in Spite of Himself


(Atlanta COnSttuuon-J
Augusta now has a living example that
mathematicians are born with the gift
OF quickly ana accurately handling
figures. He is a colored man and a labor

name of Robert Gardenheir. living in
Jones street above Cumming. Robert is
a middle aged. stalwart fellow, having
had very few If any educational advant-
ages dJring his life. but when il comes
to figures he is prompt and quick in his
mental calculations and rarely ever
makes "A mistake. Perhaps his best gift is
in multiplying. As quick as you can set

times 81. 321 times 525. Robert has the
answer for you. In several other tests
he showed d most remarkable aptitude
for the use of figures. using nothing tut

When asked as to the principles or rules
by which he accomplished these mental
answers. he proved by his answers that if
he had any such to go by they were be-
yOnd his explanation or demonStrat ton.
In fact. it was evident that he does not
know how he does the trick. He has
possessed the gift from his bOyhood days.
He cannot remember when he discovered
his gift, but it was evident that it was
before he mad matured into a man.

A LITTLE BOY POIS0NS HIMSELF
TO AVOID A WHIPPING FROM HIS FATHER

little girls that his father had said he
was going to whip him when he came
home, but he guessed ne wouldn't as he
intended to kill himself with coyote
poison.
When the father arrived, shortly
after 6, he found his son had failed TO
water the chickens as he was told and
he started to give him a whipping. The
boy complained of being sick and said
his legs were stiff. The father then
saw that something was the matter
with the boy and asked him what he
had been doing. Perry said he had
taken some of the medicine from the
shelf The father saw, however, that
the strychnine bottle was gone, but
finally found it under the bed with part
of the contents gone. Finding that the
boy had really taken Strychnine, he at
tempted to relieve him, but all efforts
were fruitless and the boy died about
s o'clock, before DR.. Paul of Mercur
could reach the bedside.

Compiled Laws

Yesterday State Printer Maute de-
livered co2y of the Compiled Laws of
Nevada to the APPEAL Office. Not be-
ing a lawyer. the first thing that bore
investigation was the printing. There
are 1914 pages in the Dig volume and
from the FIRST to the last page the
printing is excellent, in fact, no Office
could turn out better work and many
an edition will not compare with the
typographical workmanship. Many
new features are introduced, chief
among them being the bold headlines
in each section, while the figures and
section are in good. big. common-sense
type that anyone can find.
It is safe to say that there is not a
better printed volume of laws in the
State Library. Secretary OF State
Howell who went to San Francisco to
arrange for the binding, said that the
binders expressed their establishment
when the printed sheets came to them
to be handled. 1t req uired 6 cat deal
of argument to convince the b.udery
people that the printing was dnne in
Nevada The binders said they had
never before handled such GOO work
Nothing like it had ever beel turned
out of the State Printing office in Cali
fornia. The reason of this is not hard
to determine. The California Office is
run in the interest of the politicians,
and any one that man with ''pull'
recommends, goes to work. In this
State man must be a first-class work
man to get in there and no amount o.
pull can put a man on the pay rol
who is incompetent.
Mr.. Maute, the superintendent, is a
thorough printer and VIII U. Mackey
the Foreman, never allows job to &C
out of the establishment that is not alb
solutely perfect. Patrick, the press
man. is a past master of his art. tn,
institution is a credit to the State.
