DRIVEN TO SUICIDE BY

led Pierre Dufresne. young locksmith in
this city. to seek a speedy exit from this
world For Pierre Dufreshe now lies in Il
hospital in a critical condition because he
preferred death to a life in which his
delicate olfactory organs were frequently
assailed by the odoT of a certain variety
of cheeseAof WHICH his father and mother
were inordinately fond
This cheese is called Maroiles. The smell
of it closely resembles that OF Limburger.
People who like it's flavor. compromise
with their noses for the sake of their
palates. Pierre's parents ate of it at
every dinner Pierre always protes;e ell
when it was brought on the table, and
said nasty things about the tastes of peo-
Pile who would load their stomachs with
such offensive, stuff. Angry discussions
followed. The father would bang his fist
on the table and declare that he intended
to keep on eating that sort OF cheese as
long as he liked it and could afford to pay
for it, and furthermore, he didn't care u
hang what his son thought of it.
*x
When a big Marches cheese made its
appearance on the Dufresne table yester-
day there was a more violent scene than
usual Pierre said that a self-respecting
pig would not cat such nauseating stuff.
The elder Dufresne pounded the table and
avowed his belief that porcine progeny
were possessed; of trurer hlial feeling than
Pierre. Mrs. Dufresne stopped eating the
cheese long enough TO indorse her huss
bands opinion. An elder brother Joined ia
the reproaches against Pierre
The young man arose from the table and
declared that he could endure the dis
gushing smell of Marches cheese no longer.
Life was no longer worth living if he was
to be confronted with it every day. He
fled from the room, banging the door be-
hind him. y few minutes later another
bang was heard. Il was pistol shot.
Pierre had fired a bullet at his heart but
his aim was bad or his knowledge OF

in his stomach, with the result that even
