SUICIDE OF VETERAN
FORMER SOLDIER SHOOTS HIM
SELF WHILE IN PUBLIC PARK.

washington, D. C. Charles Hentzi No
friends"
After writing the foregoing on a slip OF
paper this morning Hentzi, who was an
inmate of the Soldiers Home, committed
suicide by shooting himself through the
right temple. He was seated on bench
in Judiciary Square at the time. Shortly
before 10 o'clock the veteran stopped at
store near the square and told the pro-
pretress that he was tired of living and
that he was going to kill himself. The
latter tried to persuade him to change his
mind, but he said he had decided to do it
and he could not be persuaded otherwise
He left the store and went to the park
where he used the pistol with deadly eff
feet. So quickly was life ended that the
body did not even fall over. The head in
clined to one side, permitting the blood to
flow upon the grass behind the bench
Nobody witnessed the tragedy, so far as
the police could ascertain, but a number OF
persons were attracted by the report of the
pistol. The first to reach the scene was
DR.. Walter c. Murphy, who resides at 500
4th street, the shooting having occurred
across the street almost directly in front OF
his house. The physicians small daughter
had heard the report of the weapon and
told her father. Several boys who had also
heard the report hurried to the place. A
small dog was near the bench at the time
heard the shot thought the man seated on
the bench had fired at the canine
Park Policeman Investigates.
Park Policeman Thomas Smith was only
a short distance away and he FASTENED to
make an investigation. He found the
smoking revolver clutched in the right hand
of the suicide The policeman took pos
session of the weapon and turned it over
to the sixth precinct police. A crowd of
curious persons gathered in the park, in
Guiding men, women and children, and they
remained there until the arrival of the
wagon from the morgue In addition to the
brief writing on the slip of paper men
toned the superintendent of the morgue
found request that Charles Lemys, los
I'd avenue, New York city, be notified of
the death.
The deceased was a native of Switzerland,
where he born in 1915. He came to
this country in 1868, entering the service
ten years later as a member of Company
A Dist Infantry. At Soldiers Home he
earned extra money a waiter and he
saved sufficient to start an account at the
Washington Loan and Trust Company, his
boob showing about $40 to his credit. He
had been an inmate of Soldiers Home since
1894. Acting Coroner Glazebrook made an
investigation and gave certifcate'in ac-
cordance with the facts.
Arrangements for the funeral have not
yet been completed. Mr.. w. a. Bayliss of
the Army and Navy Union has taken an in
terest in the question of diSpoSing of the
body. He will confer with Gen. Andrew s..
Burt District of Columbia commander of
the organization, and will probably arrange
for interment in Arlington.

The production of one egg within an
other is of frequent occurrence, and
though now and then recorded as d
curiosity, the so called phenomenon
is very easily accounted for. 1t is
invariably caused by overstimulation
of the system by feeding. The ovum.
or yolk, when mature is received into
the upper part Of the oviduct, a tube
nearly two feet in length in the do
nestle fowl, and in its descent is cloth
ed successfully with the layers of al
bumen, or white, the lining membrane
of the shell, and finally on arriving at
the classifying portion of the oviduct Is
enveloped in a shell itself. Ordinarily
the egg is then expelled, but In the
case of the product Of double yolked
egg reverse action Of the oviduct
takes place, and the egg is carried
back, meets with another ovum and
redescends with it. the two being sur
rounded together with albumen, men,
brane and shell.

Nothing But Facts.

The cold spell but emphasized the
value of Crescent City as q citrus
fruit growing section. At DeLand,
Orlando, Barlow, St. Petersburg and
| Tampa the mercury showed some
six to twelve degrees colder than
| here and the damage to the fruit
crop in these sections is serious
Crescent City Item iE Palatka News.
Crescent City suffered as much
from the cold as any other section in
the orange belt similarly located.
The correspondent was stretching
| his imagination when he said that
| the mercury went much lower at
points a hundred or so miles south
of Crescent City. We have groves
about DeLand, and fruit too, that
passed through the freeze practical
| ly uninjured, and the fruit has been
sold in market at good prices. He
is simply wild correspondent and
his statements are not based upon q
single fact. On the other hand the
Record was told IA week ago that
| grapefruit trees in the Crescent City
section were bursting open, that is
the bark of the trunks of the trees
were splitting from the effects of the
freeze, but we passed it as exception
al, in low or exposed places.-Volus-
ia County Record, DeLand.
Now our friend Prevatt of the De-
Land Record was never anything
but loyal-loyal to his section, his
party, his friends. Touch either
ever so lightly and you start him on
the war path. The News had node
sire to do either when it published
the above complained of item, an
item which at this distance of three
weeks from the cold spell needs no
amending. What are the recorded
temperatures at these places?
Crescent City 26o DeLand, 22o;
Orlando, zoe; Barlow, 10; Arcadia,
II; FIT. Meade, II; Tampa, 1919; ST.
Petersburg, 200. On Thursday
morning, Dec. 9th, the morning on
which it is generally conceded the
greatest amount of damage was
done, the lowest recorded tempera-
ture at Crescent City was 3ll2 de-
grees, while at many places south
it did 90 from 6 to u degrees colder.
The groves about Crescent City are
generally as green as before the cold.
But Il small proportion of the fruit
here was injured by frost, and there
are no grapefruit or other fruit trees
about here that show split bark.
Crescent City suffered enough-"as
much as any other section in the
orange belt similarly located"-but
the point we have emphasized is
that none of the other places are
similarly [favorably located"

THE GOD OF WAR.
MASTERING Mars and His Name Month,
the Thracian of the Twelve.

clustering Mars and His Name Month,
the Thracian of the Twelve.
Mars was not a favorite among the
classic Greeks, nor is his name month
great favorite among the Gothic
moderHs. The god Of war was bar
barian intruder in the Olympian circle.
There was something Thracian, and by
that token crude and unworthy in his
manner. He was more of a blusterer
than fighter, and Homer narrates
with evident relish how Pallas Athene
tumbled him over in combat, his vast
bulk covering several acres. OF wild
aspect, untutored ways and Indifferent
wits, he had little to recommend him
but his immoral origin.
Such also is the month that has taken
the war gods name. One poet notes
its ugly looks and threats" "a half
wild creature cast from natures lap"
another calls it. The proverb mad as
March hare" says the same thing
with less reticence. English people
call the month March Manyweath-
ers' and thereby intimate their doubt
VI lts Cdpdclly lor suStdlneu pupoSe'
1t Is the Thracian of the twelve, as
September is the Tyrian. There is
something clustering and barren in its
aspect, as there is in what people call
"a good war" The winds that blow
from one end of 1t to the other are not
"the winds of God" A peck of March
dust may be worth kings ransom, as
a wise saw has 1t, but from the aver
age human it gets less grateful guer-
don. Beware the ides of March" Is
good wisdom for our common human
ity.-New York Mail.

The lamentable effects of the gener-
al destruction Of forests are now suf-
ficiently recognized in all civilized
countries. Such destruction invites
devastating floods in mountain streams
and causes the surrounding land to
dry up Forests act like vast con-
densing screens. They preserve a
moist atmosphere about them, atten-
uate the force Of torrential downfalls,
promote more gradual melting of the
snow in early spring and protect the
soil against too rapid evaporation.
And yet the manner in which forests
act their benefcent part is not exactly
such as might be supposed. They pre-
vent a large part of the rain that falls
from reaching the soil at all. 1t is es-
timated that in European climates the
forests evaporate directly or transplre
physiologically four-tifShs Of the rain
that falls upon them. Thus the forest
atmosphere is no less important than
the forest soil in equalizing the eli
matte conditions of a country.-Youth's
Companion.

bles it will fail to cure permanently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department /;

Woman is often referred to by man as
doubling his joys and halving his sorrows.
That may be complimentary but it would
seem to be rather hard on the woman. For in
plain terms 1t means that where things are go
ing well with the man his wife makes them 20
better. But when things are going i'll with
him, he expects the wife to share half his bur.
den. And there's more truth than poetry in
this presentation of masculine selfshness.
Men don't appreciate the fact that the strain OF
motherhood alone is q burden bigger than all
the loads that rest upon male shoulders. They
see the wife grow thin, pale, nervous and
worn without thought that she is over-bur-
dened. Among the pleasant letters received by
DR.. Pierce are those from husbands who have
walked up before it was too late to the crushing
burdens laid upon the wife, and in the search
for help have found in DR.. Pierce's FavOrite
