You cant always toll, says an

instance, there is a story Of a man
who determined to commit sui
eide. He went TO the store and
bought a rope, a can of coal oil,
box of matches, dose of arse
ME, and a revolver. He went
down 10 the river and pushed rhe
boat from the shore and waded
to where a limb hung over, satur-
ated his clothes with the coal oil,
lighted match AND set fire to his
clothing, took the dose of arsenic,
put the muzzle of the revolver to
his temple, pushed the boat from
under him, and pulled the trigger.
But the bullet glanced and cut
the rope above him, and he fell,
kerhop, into the river; the water
put the fire out and he got strang-
led and coughed up the arsenic.
He arose and waded out, and de-
clared himself candidate for The
Legislature onFthe reform ticket.
