The Real QucHtIon.

The increase In suicide Is one of the
alarming facts of the time. Reaction
from the intense life which men are
living, the disappointment which often
follows the mad rush for wealth. and
the lessening, in many lives, of the re-
'traints Of religious faith, are given rs
some OF the more prominent causes.
To meet men who are discouraged,
and comfort them, the Salvation Army
has established bureaus in several
cities, which report n measure of sue
cesa. Such success as they have had
tea les this lesson: that many men
am women in whom, in hours Of de
preston, life seems not worth living.
are not in conditions of permanent
hopelessuess but may be saved to hap
pier lives than in their discourage
mcnt, seems possible
\ young man who had known bit
ter disappointment and TO whom the
heavens seemed black and the earth
barren, went, in his despair, to
friend. The friend was sure that, deep
and real as was the sorrow, there was
much left in life for the young man;
and he talked with him SO kindly, so
hopefully, so sternly, that the young
man rose in shame and gratitude, and
took up his work again.
"'lo be or not to be, that is the
question:" moodily quoted the young
man
40, that is not the question at all"
was the stern reply.
"What do you mean?"
"Precisely this: that the question
whether we are to be or not is Il ques-
ton we were not asked at the begin
ming and have no right to raise. We
cannot discuss II with knowledge either
of the joys that remain or the duties
that are impending, nor yet the future
shame that awaits us in some after
lie for the cowardly Sinking of the
burdens of this one.
ITO be or not to be- is the question
OF the stage, propounded by a half
crazed character in plot the meaning
OF which Is still a question debated by
critics The question for the real man.
on the stage of life is, Being, how
shall | make the most Of lifeP For
we are, whether we like it or not; and
we have no right hut to be, and to be
the most aud best we can"
Il hadn't thought Of it In just that
way" replied the young man.
Life is 81 discipline" his friend went
on. 1T is not given us for our own
pleasure alone, nor can any man live
il or end it and affect himself alone.
Lie Is the gift of God; and no man
liyeth unto himself, and no man dieth
unto himself.
Life is before you, long years of 1t,

God has kept in waiting long for the
time when men could live as strong

IN MOUTH
AP. HORTON KILLS w.
CRAMER AT OSBURN.
..er OF SELF DEFENSE-MUR.
neRER TAKES SHAVE WHILE
WAITING FOR SHERIFF.

wallace, Idaho, Sept. 23.-W. f.
cramer fell dead on the floor of a
/ soloon in Osburn Sunday morning, a
ohorge of lead from shotgun enter
,no his open mouth, the slayer. Capt.
p. Horton, proving quicker in the
,se of firearms than Cramer. who was
reacbing for his pistol. Horton, after
notifving the sheriff's office of the
tragedy. lathered his face and shaved
himself in the room where the dead
man lay and awaited the arrival Of
Tho sheriff. The cOroner's jury re-
tnrned verdict of self defense.
Cramer. who was better known in
This district as Crazy Frenchy," met
his death in the saloon belonging to
Cant. A. p. Horton and William Os-
horne. at Osburn, between Wallace
ind Wardner The full charge enter
cd Cramers mouth, fractured the jaw
in at least five places and causing in
staneous death.
About 1880 o'clock Cramer entered
the saloon and demanded a drink from
Capt. Horton, who was cleaning up
Horton refused to give the drink, be
cause. as he told the coroners jury
he had known Cramer's character
when under the influence of liquor
and also because of the Sunday rest
law Other evidence goes to show that
Cramer appears to have lost his tenn
per, and after smashing some glasses
on the floor reached for his gun,
which he carried in the inside pocket
of his waistcoat. Horton at the same
time reached for a shotgun under the
bar and discharged the contents in
Cramers face, killing him instantly.
Horton says that "Frenchy" hated
him like poison and had often threat
ened to shoot him. and Horton there
fore did not care to take any chances.
Immediately after the shooting Hor-
ton himself notified the sheriff's de-
partment in Wallace, after which he
shaved himself in the room where
Cramer's body was lying on the floor.
Six men were present at the time of
the shooting, but none saw exactly
what had happened, as they were play
ing cards and sitting with their backs
to the bar
Captain Horton is one of the best
known characters in the district and
is a pioneer of the Occur d'Alenes,
having come to this district in 1888.
Early in the spring of this year he
entered into partnership with Will
liam Osborne in a saloon at Osburn.
He is now 81 years of age. Cramer
was a Frenchman by birth, man of
good education, and came of an excel
lent family. He was victim OF the
drink habit. In spite of the fact that
he was shot with shotgun there is
practically not a mark on his face, the
whole contents of the charge entering
by the mouth without spreading.

WhistIer's Grave.

Whistler is buried, not in Chiswick
churchyard, where Hogath lies, but in
the cemetery that adjoins 1t, says the
London Morning Post. No stone
marks the grave of the artist, which
is almost hidden by carefully tended
flowers. A little fence of wooden trel-
lis protects it, and over fence and
grave trailing Ivy, geraniums and
honeysuckle grow luxuriantly. The
grave Is beside the high wall of the
cemtery, and partly sheltered by a
wild plum tree, overgrown just now
by creepers, that has sprung up close
TO the boundary. Beyond the wall
rise ancient yew trees and the more
ancient gray tower of Chiswick
church, but modernity asserts itself
in the incessant rafting and hammer
ing from the torpedo boat works,
whose long ranges of. black buildings
separate these peaceful acres from
the adjacent river.

the porter deposited my things beside

from the open door of the station: a

into the windows of the cars; the vii
