FIRES 4 FATAL SHOT
Elmer Wilkinson the Fourth
Suicide Victim.
DIES IN CASUALTY HOSPITAL
Sister OF Dead Man Revived from
Overdose OF Laudanum About Two
Weeks Ago, and This May Have
Affected Suicides Mind-NOte from
Girl In Pocket Causes Speculation.

Elmer Wilkinson. nineteen years old.
who shot himself in the right temple with
a revolver yesterday morning in a shed
in the rear Of his hcme. 122S I street
southeast, died last night at Casualty
Hospital He did not regain conscious
ness after firing the shot.
With the death Of Wilkinson the list
Of suicides OF the last two days numbers
four persons, three men and a woman
Two OF the men ended their lives with
pistols. The third man used carbolic
acid. and the woman used Illuminating
gas.
Doubt exists concerning the reason
young Wilkinson wished to end his life.
II IS thought he was despondent over love
affairs. A note addressed TO him. and
signed ny Frances Stern. employed in a
Seventh street department store. was
found written on a postal card
Note from Girl.
The note read:
VERY sorry did not see you Thurs
day night TO give you the rose I prom
ised- hope TO see you again soon. and
the next time come down I want YOU
70 come over or you viii have TO leave
Washington, D c. Hoping 10 receive an
answer soon, I remain. truly yours, Fran
ces Stern"
Miss Stern said she had only seen
Wilkinson once, and declared she wrote
the postal as a joke. Relatives deny
Wilkinson was involved IN a love affair.
The young man lived with his father,
Thomas Wilkinson, and was employed
as a huckster. Coroner Nevitt issued
certificate of death. The body was
turned over 70 relatives
About two weeks ago. Pearl Wilkinson,
sixteen years old, a sister OF Elmer. was
removed to Casualty Hospital suffering
from laudanum poisoning. DR.. II. Wat
son Mofftt. who was with Elmer when
he died. saved the life OF the girl by
prompt measures. The girl gave no rea-
son for taking poison. II IS supposed the
sisters act had an effect on Wilkinson's /
mind

EXCELLENT THINGS.

There are many excellent things in
life for girl or a 5oy-for a man
| or a woman.
And those who have not known them
should demand them.
And those who have known them
should share them.
They are exceedingly simple things.
but they keep us strong and young;
Perhaps they are small things, but
they make life great
1t Is good to throw a ball very far and
very high and TO catch It easily;
To run rapidly and endure long.
To be sure-footed, 10 climb with per.
feet self-reliance when the spring Is
new upon the hills;
To plunge to cool waters and find re-
freshment when summer is sultry.
Swimming easily and naturally until
the flesh Is satisfied;
To pick daisies, to go haying. or ber-
rying, or nuttIng;
To walk buoyantly and serenely among
the breeze-buffeted leaves of aut-
umn;
To rise early In the morning and meet
the frost Undaunted
To speed the blood from cheek to
ankle;
To so the length of the blue Ice on
keen. swift skates;
To rush from the heights. down to the
whirling snow on the ample tobog
gan:
Waking, to eat simple food and live
heartily.
Sleeping, to sleep deeply, with the
earth and the trees close at hand.
These are all excellent things for they
make the sane laborer, the good
comrade.
