age, who had been an Inmate of the Sol
diers' Home, committed suicide yesterday
morning by cutting his throat with razor.
He was in the house of a friend named
Burke. 211 VIII Tree alley, at the time
The deed was committed. Callahan left the
home last month, III is said, while under
sentence to remain within the grounds oil
the institution for a violation of one OF
the rules. Instead of complying with the
sentence the man went away and had been
about the city soliciting assistance. Being
c cripple, DIT was easy matter for him
to obtain money sufficient to pay tor ms
bed and board. Callahan late Saturday
night called at the house of MIR. Burke
and asked that he be given a bed for the
night. His request was granted and ne
retired. About noon yesterday his room
was visited and the body found. Several
terrible gashes had been made in his throat
and life had been extinct several hours.
The police of the fourth precinct took
charge of the body and remained on duty
about the house until the arrival of the
coroner. who soon decided that the man
haG taken his own life. The body was re-
moved to- the morgue, and will probably
BE- inferred In Arlington tomorrow. Gala

Her Use of the Directory.


A stylishly dressed and altogether good
looking woman was turning over the leaves
of the directory in leisureIy manner
when an irascible old gentleman, known to
his many acquaintances as a man with a
very small stock of patience. entered. He
wished to use the directory. too. possibly to
look up the address of a man who owed him
money. He stood about. now and then cast
ing heavy looks in the direction of the
directory. and coughing suggestiyely
A business man in a hurry followed. He
wanted to know where Walter Jones lived
1t is block or two away, but he has for
gotten the number. He fell into line.
Then a man who sought some city official,
but knew nothing of his Office, except that
it closed in a few minutes, Joined the ranks
of walters
Still the woman placidIy turned over leaf
after leaf, without any apparent intention
to decide whether the name she was seek
ing was Brown, Smith or Jones.
Finally, when matters were beginning to
grow very tense, a young man rushed IN.
His mission would positively admit OF no
delay so he politely offered to assist the
woman, suggesting that his experience
might tend to save time and lessen her
labor. When he asked her what she sought.
with sweet smile full of appreciation, she
replied:
"Oh. thank YOU You are very kind. /

HUMBLE BEAST OF BURDEN.
Oxen as Moving Power in Southern
Lumber Camps.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Whoa, Brandy! Gee, Broad. is a cry
often heard throughout the piny woods of
the Florida parishes, and it is strange how
the same names for oxen have apparently
descended for hundreds of generations of
cattle to the present time. Such names as
these are most common: Brandy, Lyon,
Diamond. lady, Spot Broad, Roger,
Bright, Buck, Wheeler, Red, Logue and
Bully
The writer stopped driver coming in
with load of logs for one of the Hammond
mills and asked the names of his oxen.
here they are as he gave them: Tongue
YOKE, two middles and the lead yoke, Buck
and Jerry, Jake and Ben, Red and Raj,
Bald and Red-four yoke.
oxen are always considered as "yokes,
sold, handled and worked as ''yokes.''
The OK Is essentially the moving power OF
the lumber world in the south, in spite of
the fact that every big mill throughout
this section owns and operates from twenty
to thirty-dve miles of railway, wherewith
the logs are brought to the mill
"A yoke of oxen, work animals, is worth
Sl00; the yoke itself with bows and all APP
purtenances, $3.50. and then there are to be
added about forty feet of two-inch chain,
cart hook and good ak Five yoke
throughout this section constitute a team.
and George johnson stated that on good
road, with good team, using a. modern,
Ip-to-date eight-wheel wagon, he hauled
-
team of horses or mules can equal that?
For, mark you, when an OK gets into a
mud hole he gets out. If you are driving
horses or mules you will sooner or later
have to unhltch and pry out your horses
or mules. Why? Because when one of the
horse kind puts its hoof down into the
mud the soft earth closes around his slender
ankle and packs on top of the hoof making
1t extremely hard for the animal to draw
out his hoof
But the OK, when he puts his cleft foot
down, breaks a big hole in the soft ground,
and as he draws it out again the cleft
closes and the hoof comes free without a
struggle. And these low, fiat. piny woods
are wet and soggy all winter, and even In
dry weather along the road where log
wagons haul there Will be found holes that
would bog a circus mosquito on stills
