Drinks acid Before Brother.

Kansas City-Herbert d. Cutler,
senior member of the Cutler Glass
and Paint Co, at Nos. 10000 Union
avenue, drank carbolic acid in his pri-
vate office and died an hour later. His
brother, Frank Cutler, was with him
when he drank the poison. Mr.. Cutler
gave no intimation that he intended
to commit suicide. His brother did
not know his purpose until Herbert
turned toward him with a bottle in
his hand. A look of pain and the
effects of the acid on his lips told
the story to his brother. Dependency
because of continued i'll health and
business reverses that began with the
flood of 1903 are believed to have been
the cause of the suicide.

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT 1T is OF
VAST ANTIQUITY.
Commonly Accepted as the Sign of
Good Luck-Traces Found in
Records of Every
Known Race.

Washington.-The Swastika is the
Oldest known symbol, having its origin
in the cross and the circle. AS far
back in the night of time as we are
able to trace the records of mans life
on the globe by the sculptured re-
mains of temples and pillars we find
the cross and circle, painted on an
cient pottery, broidered on sacred
vestments, sculptured on ruined monu-
ments and figuring in the religious
mysteries Of all races.
To form an estimate of the age OF
the Swastika we must look back,
archaeologists tell us, to the period OF
time when the pole star was in Cyg"
nus, $4,000 B. c., apparently that or
the first conception of the zodiacal
year.
While the Swastika is held in COM
mon acceptation to be a lucky II

1t may be safely asserted that in-
vestigation Of the records of every
known race has revealed traces OF the
Swastika. 1t has been found on the
pottery of the mound builders in Mis-
sissippi, showing identity of design
with symbols from India, in what is
called the Swastika-sitting position
Of the Hindus-and those Of the
Mayas and Aztecs. while in the re-
mains of the prehistoric race of lake
jewellers in Switzerland the Sistres is
identified with the staff of jingling
bells held in the hand of a statue OF
Buddha in India on whose base is a
row of Swastikas.
1t appears on the foreheads Of gods
in temples and on the walls of the
cave temples in India, and also on
Brahmin mountains. 1t is placed on
the breast of the dead in Thibet, and
