Mr.. Dellinger remembers the astonish-

the second was the announcement of the
nomination of Polk for President by

Suicide Pact Spoiled
BY Schoolgirls Fear
DasheS Bottle of ChIOrOfOrm From Chlms
,LIps-Morbid From Discussion of Petty
Troubles With School Teacher.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept e-VVith that
morbidity of hysterical girls that mag
miles the pettiest grief into a world
wide woe, two girls in the town of
Hammond agreed TO commit suicide to-
gether. and this for the trifiing reason
that school teacher had rebuked them
Tor hardness, and one of them had re-
torted In such a way that she feared
still further reprimand should she re-
turn to school.
Had not one of the girls become
frightened at the moment her more
courageous companion was carrying
out her share OF the compact. the latter
girl now would be dead by chloroform.
The bottle containing the drug was
sfrnck from her hand as she lifted it TO
her mouth The girl who came so close
to death was Miss Ehie Rockhill; the
one who faltered at the last moment
was Miss Leona Reed Each is seven
teen years old, and their families are
prominent in Hammond.
Trouble in Summer
When Miss Rockhi1 went on her vaca-
ton after the close of school in last
June she took with her to Lafayette a
great sense of injustice done to her by
her teacher.
1T preyed so upon her that she sent
20 the teacher postal card that was
decidedly uncomplimentary. But nc
sooner had she done that than she be-
gan TO have Qualms. She pictured the
teachers wrath when she should return
TO school.
On going home to Hammond she con-
fided her sorrows to Miss Reed That
girl. too, had been in conflict with the
pedagogue and dreaded to go back to
school. As they talked. their troubles
grew tragic in their girlish minds, and,
bit by bit. they came to the resolve to
end all their imagined woes.
