SUICIDE OF A DONKEY.

Greenwich, Conn, Dec. This is
the story of sentimental donkey
and its suicide.
The donkey was owned by John
Boles, d neighbor of Ernest Thomp-
son Seton, at Cos Cob. 1t had as
d friend and companion dog which
was killed by a trolley car in front
of Mr.. Boles's house.
The donkey witnessed the TRACE
dy. Evidently it's nerves were I'M
strung. A little later, when anoth
err car came along the desoIate don
key leaped over the fence in front
of the Car and persisted. The car
was derailed.
The Seton Indian tribe. composed
of neighboring boys. are so certain
that the donek in its grief for the
death of it's friend. committed sui
eide deliberately, and did not mere
ly seek to derail the car out of re-
venge, that they will attend the fu-
neral Of the donkey IN a body.

Malt is barley-gra in,

the tree on which 1t grows Is SO un'

the most majestic ornaments Of the
forest. The fruit resembles q cocoa

size OF a child's head. Each one Of
these shells contains from twelve to
twenty of the three cornered nuts. To
obtain the nuts as they appear in
