JUMPED At NATURES BIDDING.
Would-se Suicide Not Completely
Nerved for Final Parting.

With a groan Of despair he made up
his mind TO die.
Ruined financially, and with not a
particle Of hope for getting on his
feet again. he realized that the only
chance for his family escaping pauper-
ism and its attendant miseries was to
obtain immediate use Of his heavy
life insurance.
Furthermore, if he fingered on he
would be unable to pay the premiums
on his policies, which unfortunately
were not old enough to carry them
selves, 50 that they would forthwith
lapse.
Death. therefore. was the only solu-
tion to the problem. 1t was decision
the bitterness of which can only be
understood BY those forced by circum-
stances TO confront IT,
He put on his hat and overcoat and
went out of the house, lest the express
sion on his telltale countenance should
betray to his loved ones his fell inten-
tion. While he was traversing the
crowded streets he would consider the
best and least suspicious modes Of
consummating his purpose. If he
could encompass it so that the thing
looked to the world like an accident,
so much the better There would
then be no scandal.
AS he stepped from the curb to
cross the street an automobile, driven
by a reckless ioy-riding chauffeur
came tearing around the corner at ter
rifying speed.
And the energetic leap which the
would-be suicide made back to the
sidewalk out Of harms way was
caution.

The sausage dates back to the year
S97 II has been asserted that the
Greeks in the days Of Homer manu-
factured sausages, but this prehistoric
mixture had nothing in common with
our modern product The ancient so
called sausage was composed of the
same materials which enter into the
makeup OF the boudin of the French
market and the blood pudding of the
French-Canadian. The ancient sausage
was enveloped in the stomachs OF
goats. Not until the tenth century did
the sausage made of hashed pork be
come known. II was in or near the
year 1900 that, thanks to the introducl
tiou into Germany OF cinnamon and
saffron, the sausages Of Frankfort and
Strassburg acquired universal repui
tation

The stock-law question is agitating
Coahoma county. We learn with sur
prise that county so far forward in
o.her matters of enterprise has not
settled this question long ago in the
only practical manner that it can be
settled-adopting the full stock-law.
We know this is the right course be-
cause no county that has ever tried
a stock-law has gone back to the old
system of fencing thousands of acres
against few hundred scrub bulls and
yearlings-if they run on the range
they are scrubs. We thought all
progressive counties had settled this
yexed question at least a decade ago.

Now comes the President, not with
message to Congress, because h,
has been bit shy on messages since
his last one was laid on the table by
the House as unworthy of consider
alton, but with suggestions to his few
remaining friends of the Senate anG
House, notably those from Califor.
mia, giving warning of danger of wal
with Japan if the Pacific Coast State
should persist in passing anti-Japa-
nese legislation.
There is bill before the California
legislature prohibiting aliens from ac-
quiring or holding real property in
tlat state, the purpose being to pre-
vent Japanese settlers, as the Califor-
mans claim that Notwithstanding the
treaty with Japan restricts, no atten-
tion is paid to the obligation.
The President has been counseling
the members from California, and
urging them to have the measure de-
feated, as Japan has already express
ed her disapproval of the bill.
The insolent little wretches! What
right have they to assume to dictate
to sovereign State of this Union,
and intimate that they will show their
displeasure by force or arms.
No nation on this earth needs
dressing down as badly as does Ja-
pan, whose head has been so swollen
with her success against China and
Russia that she really believes she
could whip any power on earth.
1t may DO that the United States
will be forced to give Japan the drub-
bing she so richly merits, and if she
undertakes the job she will perform
it well, and give the little Flowery
Kingdom a lesson she will never for
get.

The Chronic Kicker

The caption of this article is the
theme taken from an exchange to
depict the man who is eternally pull
ling back and kicking against every
enterprise and the town generally.
Tt says:
"Did you see him? Yes, to know
him no one needs no introduction.
He is the fellow who will not turn
loose dollar unless he sees two in
it's place; he is the fellow you will
have to contend with when you make
a move in the way of progress in any
shape; he is the fellow that cries fail
ure, ere the enterprise is begun, but
If he happens to have a lot or any
kind of property where improvements
are contemplated will hold on to it
like grim death and put such a price
on what he has as to stagger Dig
ger Indian, and yet claims that he is
progressive and wants the town to
improve. Yes, he wants it to i'm
prove if it will increase it's values, but
is not willing to contribute one cent
to help. Like the fellow up in the
amen corner who hollows "amen''
every time some one drops quarter
in the missionary box, but when it
reaches him he drops in penny and
The community could get
along without him. He is no good.u
