A pleasant shade, while leaflets sing;
Above the pause Of pipe and tongue
The old man tells Of when he was Young.
Now in the gray, velvet dusk of eve
On the old barn floor the young feet ring
To the Violins' gladstone melody,
And the happy scene song doth sing
To the old man. and he takes glad leave
OF forty years, for the dance doth bring
With throb of youth the heights that he
Danced in the moonlight with like JOY,
When he was but twenty and boy.

LOVE FOR WIFE AND
CHILD CAUSED HIN
TO COMMIT SUICIDE

Mr.. Nuzum an hour or so before he
was found dead. He went to the Of
flee of the attorney and said that he
had noticed that the attorney had
drawn up a will which did not have
to be taken into court for settlement.
He wanted one made just like it, one
that his wife would have no trouble
with If he should die.
Mr.. Nuzum drew up the will on
the spot and at Folly's request filed
it away in the law firms vaults. An
hour later Mr.. Nuzum learned that
Fally had killed himself.
A subsequent investigation showed
that besides taking the precaution to
have a will drawn up. Folly had the
morning of March 4 gone to his bank
as soon as it was opened and had
$1400 in cash transferred from under
his name to that of his wife, and had
arranged every detail for the check
ing out of the money by the woman.
1t is believed Folly had brooded
over the possibility that his loved
ones might some time or other be left
without means until he was tenn
porarily insane, and while laboring
under this mania had taken the time
when his finances were in a good con-
dition to end his life and provide for
his loved ones.
