HIS LAST LETTER.

On Thursday before his sad death
sby his own hand on Saturday, Emmit
kersh visited his parents at the
family home and complained very
much of his head hurting him-so
much so in fact that he was tired OF
living. He spoke OF the appreciation
he had for home, and parents love,
and that he would never do anything
that he thought his mother did not
want him to do-that he would con-
dnue to live and suffer by himself.
He was evidently inflicted with the
worst form of melanchClia and be-
neying the burden of life too great
self in the breast with a pistol. 1t
was a great blow to parents, brothers
and sisters, but with a mind I'm
hined by continual pain, the sufferer
was not responsible fer an act that
only one would commit who was un-
balanced mentally.
The followin letters show his love
for his parents:
Dear Father and Mother I
have decided not to live any longer,
/ will drop you all a word. Say,
father, take my things to pay what
/ am due you. guess it will some
what pay you and l will go to rest
with the sweet angels. Don't think
that Jim or Wesley killed me, for
they did not. / did it myself; no one
is to blame but me. Father you and
mother take everything that l have
got ON top-side of earth and then it
won't half pay you either.
Z. E. KERSH.
To My Dear Mother:-NOw, mama,
don't take my death hard If you can
help it. 1t will be for the best.
Now dear mama don't grieve after me.
You know, mama, that you did every
thing that you could for me. You are
clear. I would have been all right
now If l had taken your advice.
Mama you keep my watch and fob.
love you, but good bye.

The most precious cargo OF live

341 buffaloes originally from Pablo
herd In Montana, but now transferred
from Elk Island Park at Lamont to
Buffalo Park art this point.
Apart from their commercial value,
says the Wainwright correspondent of

very large part of the few hundred
bison remaining to represent the mill
lens that a. few years ago roamed
the Western plains. The transfer of
500 miles was work Of considerable

Government Grants Concession tn
Large Corporations.

Have you received letter recent
~, from some large corporation, and
noted that the stamp had the appear
ance Of being perforated before it
was cancelled?
Well, don't be alarmed, it was never
used twice.
The perforation is a recent prici-
used twice.
The perforation is a recent privi-
lege allowed by Uncle Sam to those
corporations which buy stamps in
bulk, say $4,000 and $4,000 at a
time, and who, heretofore have suffer
ed a heavy loss through petty the8ts
of them
This perforation is aimed to cure
this trouble.
The government, after due appI-
cation and consideration allows a die
to be made which will perforate, with
pin like holes. the stamp and spell
out the initials or trade mark of the
corporation so that every stamp is
marked, individually, with the initials
or trade mark of that corporation
In this way it Is well nigh amposss-
BILE for any dishonest clerk to steal
$1.0O, $40 and even 100000 worth OF
stamps and dispose of them without
running a great risk of being de-
tected.
Holding the sheet, or even q single
stamp, to- the light exposes the per-
forated initials or mark very easily.
