as a wonder at making soup brought
| on a calamity.
There are many cases where re-
I fusal to dance with one man and the
acceptance of another mans invitation
resulted in an ARRAY. A balky horse
brought on feud In Kentucky, because
one of the feudists happened to laugh at
the efforts of the other to start the
horse. Beans have caused murder this
year, and so have grapes and other veg
etables and fruits, while the casualty list
due to watermelons is very large, prin-
cipally in the southern states after
dark"
So far as suicides are concerned. the
list the report says is equally large and
trivial. I'VE lost count of the number
Of cases OF self-destruction because the
back hair had become disarranged in
public or some portion Of the dress had
become undone We hate to think Of
how many, principally women, have
speeded themselves because somebody
else was five minutes late ten minutes
late or did not show up at all, or be-
came cold or scornful or argumenta-
tive or intoxicated or many other
things.
80 far as the lateness is concerned %
continues the report, we have no rec
ord of any married man adopting such
extreme measures. 1t is a good thing,
or perhaps there would not be any mar
ried men.
Then there is the record of where a
street car caused young man to end
all. He was not struck by the car, but
in a western town he rode until he es-
pied a young woman or whom he was
much enamoured Seeking to make an
impressive exit from the car he swung
himself gracefully off a rear step to
alight on an unsupported slippery spot.
The spectacle of a flying hat, flying heels
and eyeglasses, to say nothing of the
further act of the slippery spot on the
light summer suit caused the young
woman to laugh Being supersensitive,
the youth in question went home to do
his rash act"
One broken pen caused a similar act.

inviting a young woman to accompany
him on a moonlight excursion. The pen
broke, and there was not another to be

ceived another invitation before the
young man could go down town and pur-
chase new pen.

mittee fairly revels in small things

THE YEARS RECORD.
TRIVIAL THINGS THE CAUSE OF
ACCIDENTS AND SUICIDES.
Extracts from the Report Of the $50
ciety for the Investigation Of the
Unexpected"-Long and In
teresting List.

New York.-By its annual report, Just
submitted, the committee on accidents,
Of "The Society for the Investigation of
the Unexpected" lays marked emphasis
on the triyiallty Of the causes producing
tragic results and otherwise during the
year ending December /, 1904, says the
Herald, OF this city.
Never before" says the committee,
have little things played so prominent
q part In the important affairs as this
year. A very careful investigation into
almost numberless cases has shown that
instead of the great passions, love and
hate, this year petty things have held
the center OF the stage"
The committee instances murders. :"
and, although acknowledging that such
happenings do not necessarily come I'M
der the title OF unexpected, yet they
have thrown this investigation in as
good measure. so to speak.
'The number of homicides that have
been caused by such petty things as cold
coffee, burned beefsteak and pies such
as mother never could have made are
only surpassed by the number they
might have caused" says the commit
tee. There Is on record a case in Du-
buque, Ia, where the accidental drop
ping OF salt in ice cream resulted in
homicide which broke up a silver we'd
ding. There is another case in which

BIGELOW CLAIMS
LARGE POLICIES
DefauIter Believes He Is Entitled to
Insurance on Paying Cash
Surrender Value.

Milwaukee, Wis. June 1.-Frank
G. Bigelow, bankrupt and defaulting
bank president, has filed a claim with
the trustee of his estate to all the in
surance policies on which he paid the
premiums. The amount Of these pol
icies aggregates nearly 100000, of
which but $1,000 is made payable to
Mrs. Bigelow, the balance being pay
able to the estate.
The report filed with the referee in
bankruptcy states that the bankrupt
claims all Insurance policies on which
he paid premiums, and which have a
cash surrender value stated in the pol
icies. conditional upon his turning over
to the trustee the amount Of the cash
surrender value so stated. 1t Is stated
in the report that all these claims are
disputed by Charles F. Pfister, who
claims the policies by virtue of an as
signment made to him prior to the
bankruptcy proceedings.

Not even a grown person can pur-
chase poison without explaining the
use for which it is intended, yet
we literally place no hindrance or
caution whatever before the tender
youth who cannot know the fatal

and physically wrapped up in the
opium soaked bit of white paper,
called the cigarette. Temperance
people have long warned against
the first drink, but it is high time
the warning was equity emphatic
against the first cigarette. 1t is to
be hoped that the law restricting
their sale in Wisconsin will have
the desired results.
