The Funeral Sponge,

bohe
IF you attend a Partisan funeral, thew
hand you at the door a small, fire sponge"
relates an undertaken quoted by the Min
neapolis Journal.
1T is amusing to think Of" he said.
Imagine it-by means Of these sponges
all or the mourner's tears are collected.
and preserved in tiny vases of crystal.
They are used afterwards as medicine, for
they are thought to have a wonderful heal
ing power.
During the service each mourner keeps
his sponge ready, and every tear that wells
into his eye is sopped up before it has a
chance to escape. The undertaken tiptoes
politely about, he extends tentatively the
crystal vase, and those who have anything
to add to its contents squeeze their sponges
solemnly therein.
" Then, with a bow Of acknowledgment the
undertakes tiptoes on his way, extending
the vase politely now to the right now to
the left, murmuring in his gentle ard sooth-
ing voice:
Have you shed, sir? Madame, have you
shed?'"

A Strange Maurader.

For the last five years John F. Arnold,
a farmer of York, Pa, had been aware
that he was being preyed upon by a sys-
tematic chicken thief, but everything from
a man trap to a rat trap was tried without
avail
The honor Of making the capture has
fallen to Mrs. Arnold, whQ discovered the
marauder, a blacksnake nine feet and two
inches in length, and shot It. The reptile
is the largest Of its kind ever known to
have been actually measured in the county.
Mrs Arnold came upon the snake in an
unguarded moment, as It lay beside a fence
busiiy engaged in swallowing a young fowl.
Getting her husbands shotgun, she held it
close and discharged both barrels, with the
desired effect.

dispute between Mrs. Elizabeth Curry and

agreed to by the disputants, but a new

"Assuredly," replied the squire. There
was a moments conference and the women
finally decided that he should take the
chickens. That suited the squire and the

his action is that the city cannot afford
10 pay for its portion of the work. which
will be approximately 5000. He is of
the opinion that no money should be
spent in this way until after the people
decide as to whether the bonds shall be

CARPENTER BECAME DEsPoND-

The llfeless body o. Thomas J. O'Brien.
a carpenter. was found at $50 yesterday
morning in a private bath pool at the
Warm Springs sanitarium His death
Was due 10 drowning and was undoubt-
edly a case of suicide. O'Brien had been
out or work for several weeks and this
TACT caused dependency. which probably
led him TO take his life.
oBrien left his home at 81 South West
teInpie street early yesterday forenoon,
telling his wife that ne was going to the
warm Springs In search of work. He
reached the sanitarium at As o'clock and
asked 10 be shown 70 a private plunge.
AT $50 o clock o BTien had not come out
OF the private room and ". J. korth,
the assistant manager or the sanitarium
went 10 the door of the room occupied
by 'Brien and knocked. On hearing no
response he went into the bath room adj
Joining and standing on a chair looked
over the partition. He saw feet prOtrud-
ing from beneath the steps leading into
the water on investigation it was found
that the head and shoulders were under
the water beneath the steps.
Mr.. Korth telephoned the police and
Patrolmen GOlding, Ripley and Harris
Went TO the Warm Springs in the patrol
wagon. They removed the body and took
II 10 the undertaking rooms of f. G.
O'Donnen. Acting Coroner Dana I.
Smith after an investigation decided that
II was case of suicide and that an in
quest was not necessary to establish this
fact. y is believed that Brien placed
his head underneath the steps that ne
might be held underneath the surface OF
the water until he was drowned. The
position OF the body precluded the posi-
bility OF accidental drowning.
o Brien came 10 Salt Lake three years
ago from Montreal. Canada. He had
small carpenter shop at his residence and
also took small building contracts. Sin
last fall he has had very little work 10
do and had difficulty earning a livelihood.
