THE INCREASE OF SUICIDE.


The report of tn" state board of
health shows that suicide ia Colorado
Is on the increase. This report is on
ly in accordance with reports from 9th
err states and from other countries. in
dicating hat the suicidal tendency of
mankind IN general Is increasing.
frof. Goodwin Smith, III" noted Ca
madam e~ssayist. explains the increase
OF suicide as the natural result of in
creased civilization II" says that the
mean or enjoyment having been rails
ed, deprivation Is NOR" k""nly felt and
Is more productive OF despair SPnsi-
bility is increased by education. The
greater the sensiti> ancsS of people the
greater the tendency to suicide.
Of h races. it is somewhat surpris.
ing to learn that the TeutoniC. in
which one expects to find the most for,
ttude. is more suicidal than the Celtic.
The deeper character is the more mel.
ancholic. Statistics show that May.
June m July are the suicidal months.
The explanation is that with the reviv.
al of vitality all the feelings and i'm.
pressions become mor1 lively. those

Or. LACY.
A Queer Case of Penal Servitude in a
Colorado Town.

Or. r. O. Lacey is the hero in one of
the most interesting, laughablc and
unusual stories which have come 70
the attention of the state board OF DaI-
dOns perhaps in its existence. The
facts as presented are in the hands of
Secretary Stonaker. secretary of the
pardon board, furnished either by in
tcrested parties themselves or by the
clipping bureaus.
DR.. II. o. Lacey had a thriving prac-
tice at Lake City, but his enjoyment
in the flowing bowl was too much for
him. He took what is popularity known
as the jag cure" and after that for a
short time the physician did some pc
Culiar things. One of them was to
shoot Henry Nittel, a bartender, on
May l6 of the present year. The bar
tender vas almost instantly killed, but
a kind-hearted jury found thatDr. La
cey was not in a condition at the time
to know exactly what he was doing.
AS Mr.. Stonaker tells the story, the
past good record of the physician aid
ed him so that he was convicted of On
ly involuntary m~anslaughter and was
sentenced to but II year in the coun
ty jail. Not long after the physician
had been incarCerated he was made a
err in the jail, he thus relieved the sher-
if of bothering himself at all about the
situation.
What did DR.. Lacey do then but com
mence to build up his practice about
Lake City, and there are many in the
town who think hat as a physician
none can compare with DR.. Lacey. So
the doctor went about his business and
returned regularly to the Jail to get
warm. to eat at the expense of the
county and to sleep at the expense of
the county. He did not take kindly to
a suggestion that he turn over to the
county commissions a part Of the mon
ey he secured as a professional man in
return for his board and lodging. Nor
would he apply for a pardon. as he was
we'll satisfied with the manner in
which he was living. The property
owners of the place asked the judge to
let the doctor go with his term unfin-
ished, as he was not suffering at all for
his alleged crime and was living off the
county while building up his practice.
But the judge said he could do moth
ing. Then the sheriff of the county
went away for a long trip and has not
returned yet. He turned the keys over
to DR.. Lacey and intrusted him with
the keeping of the Jail. as he was the
only prisoner.
Secretary Stonaker received yester-
day from Hinsdale county citizens a
petition for the pardon of the man. set
ting forth the facts practically as re.
lated. The only remarkable feature
about the petition is that while many
citizens have signed it. the prisoner
himself has not lone so, as he is very
willing to allow matters to stand as
they do now.-Denver Republican.

The chaplain came upon a soldier

Would you like me to read you some
thing from the Bible?"
But all the wounded soldier could an

The chaplain quickly fetched him
