One of the rarest causes of sui
eide has been reported from
London. A retired army officer
was recently left fortune of
about 50, 500, 900 by his brother.
The responsibility of this great
sum weighed upon him until he
became despondent and imag-
ined himself poor, and in a short
time this frame of mind led to
self-destruction. There have
been frequent cases of men who,
desperately poor, imagined them
selves rich and killed themselves
when they learned their delu-
sion, but this London suicide is a

One of the most vicious cases
of intimidation in the course of
the strike took place during the
week at Hudson against a nom
union man, Lawrence Twadusky.
Twadusky went to work in the
Pine Ridge colliery three weeks
ago and has not been home since,
fearing to leave the colliery and
venture on the highway, which
has been picketed each night by
crowds of strikers. His wife
und four children at home were
subjected to constant and terri
flying attacks. Almost nightly
stones were thro wn at the house.
Early in the week their flock of
.H geese was caught; some were
plucked bare and others had
their necks slit, and they were
turned loose. Several days later
the cow disappeared and after
three days was found with her
head tied close to a tree in the
woods and half starved. On
Saturday night a mob attacked
the house, drove out the women
and children, shattered the win
dows and doors and were making
the wreck complete when they
were dispersed.

While they were in our midst
our town bore no resemblance to
its former self, but was in dan
ger of being transformed into a
likeness of that notorious cattle
town in Kansas called "Hell's
Branch Office" with Satan as its
guiding spirit. Groups of lazy
loiterers and heavy eyed de-
bauchees lounged on our streets,
threatening to make of them an
arena for vice, a seething "broth
of battle" and perhaps murder.
Their presence naturally attract
ed an influx of human vermin
that infested other places, which
added TO the appalling number of
men already here who were out
of work, theirsavings exhausted,
their coal bins empty, their lar
ders bare, their rents overdue
and their landlords insistent.

Dor leader, had beckoned them

A drunken man staggered into
a church one Sunday and sat
down In the pew of one of the
deacons. The preacher was dis
coursing about prevalent popular
vices. Soon he exclaimed:
"Where is the drunkard?" The
man was just far enough
gone to think the call personal.
SO rising heavily, replied: "Here
l am" and remained standing
while the drunkard's character
and fate is eloquently portrayed.
A few minutes later, the preach
er reached another head of his
discourse, and asked: "Where
is the hypocrite?" Gently nudg-
ing his neighbOr, the drunkard
said, in an audible tone "Stand
