Funny Features Of suiIdIna.

II IS not only possible but practicabl
for a man to start the building OF house
in Wichita on wind and pay for il as ne
goes along. This may sound funny and
as matter of fact, is funny. but its
truth IS susceptible Of demonstration.
Early in June a Wichita man borrowed
money from the building and loan asso-
citation to put $3.50 improvements on his
: house He deposited the money IN the
/ bank but never used it. He didn't have
cent when he contracted with a stone
, mason to lay a foundation. The mason
promised to begin work rext morning
and he did. He had load Of sand haul
ed to the place. Next day he had bar
rel of lime sent there. Two days elapsed
and he sent a mortar box A week later
he sent a man TO strip the ground for the
foundation. Three days more elapsed
and he drove few stakes and sent n
wheeltarrow to the seene After three
weeks the mason actually laid the foun-
datioD. It amounted TO $3.50 and the
owner of the premises had enough saved
out Of his three weeks wages 70 pay the
bill. The mar who was employed to
build his fireplace followed the same gen
eral rules of holding several jobs that
the stonemason did and when the brick
work was done the thrifty householder
had enough saved 10 pay for his fireplace
and half enough 70 pay for his lumber
bin which was delivered about two weeks
after 1t was bought. CT at least al of il
but the flooring. the siding and the
shingles. The carpenter had bench
on the ground promptly and called often
during the next few weeks TO say that he
would begin tomorrow sure" When
the work was done the man had saved
enough money 10 pay him IT. full and ali

Luck Was AGAINST Him.

It is not always easy fer one 20 kick the
world from under him or jump over the
dark waters az the river Styx- Wichita
had an old gambler once who fell a vic
tim to disappointment in love and an
effort at suicide was almost a daily occur
rance in his troubled life George p.
Kessler knew him well and related the
story Of his troubles 10 an Eagle reporter
"a few mornings ago after even the
ghosts had gone to bed This ancient
gambler was known among his contem-
poraries by the somewhat impcetlc name
Of Dirty Frank" from the circumstances
that his shirt front had wonderful at
TRACTION for tobacco juice. Dirty
Frank was not without friends ard some
OF them were true ones. one OF these
thought a trip 10 California would dispel
the troubles Of the man who loved more
well than wisely. but lie scarcely had
reached there when he tried poison. He
was foucd in time To be saved After
several other attempts the friend decided
that a sea journey would do him some
good and tickets were bought for a trip
around the horn to New York. one day
at the other side CT the equator the cap
tain beheld a man On one OF the yard
arms with rope around his neck. He
jumped OF, but strange TO say the Moose
of the rope failed to tighten about his
neck He was prepared for this emer-
gency. for he pulled revolver from his
pocket and fred. The bullet intended
for his brain cut TIE rope and ne fell into
the ocean. but even the blue deep sea
refused TO aid him. He was rescued and
taken back upon the boat. 4 am tired
OF failure in all my efforts to die ne said
to his friend, "and I will not try suicide
any more. Luck is against me and I
have determined 70 live. He never at
tempted self destruction after that and
lived for several years afterwards.
