Mark Twain,s Philosophy.

1t is surely one of the ironies OF
fate that Mark Twain, greatest of
American humorists, should have
been sad-hearted man, a fatalist
and pessimist. He did not often re-
veal his philosophy. He almost seem
ed ashamed of it. But he took the
trouble to write a little book. What
Is Man," which he issued anony-
mously and gave to some of his init
mate friends, and which made his
meaning so clear that no one could
misunderstood. The book is dated
February 1905

FIRES TEN SHOTS
 INTO HEAD, LIVES

Hartford, Sept. 1e.-After Robert Sturgis, negro farm hand, twenty seven years old, of Deep River, had fred seven bullets into his head yes terday, had reloaded the revolver and sent three more shots alongside the first seven, making ten in all, he threw the weapon away in disgust and attempted to end his life by sfashing his throat with razor three times.
 Even then he failed, and when he had been brought forty miles to hospital in this city, the amazed phy- sicians, when they had recovered their equaninity and breath, am nounced that barring possible blood poisoning, sturgis probably would re- cover and be able to personally relate his unique experience.
 Just why Sturgis was bent upon sui eide is not known. How he contriv ed to plant ten bullets in non-fatal spots in his head is considered by the surgeons little short of miracu- lous The razor cuts were not deep or serious, as he did not have strength enough to hold the razor at the prop CT angle.

 Water Famine Feared.
 The water question in Nefwalk has become very grave question and unless rain falls with a weeks time, the supply in the city's reservoirs will probably be exhausted. It is estimated that not more than weeks supply remains.
 Typhoid Fever.
 The latest case of typhoid fever which has developed in South Nor walk is that of Mrs. Robert M. Wolfe. The city is struggling at the present time in the throes Of an epidemic Of typhoid. A large number of cases have been reported. The health board is of the opinion that the to do with the condition which pre- vails. One of the members said Wednesday that there were two well developed cases of the disease at the water sheds. There is also a well de- fined belief that the trouble comes from swimming, it being said that I11S SSWcaSOV O1iAk'Ay AIIO I1AC "ebbCl contaminates it and has caused much of the fever in the city.
 Motor Boat Burned.
 The Wha-He-Fo, a 40-foot motor boat belonging to Lester c. Ford, was destroyed by fire at Coscob, Tuesday afternoon. The barburetter with which the motor was originally equipped was, not entirely satisfac- tory, and MT. Ford was trying out a new one. The boat had gone but a. short distance when the flames were discovered. She was immediately beached, but the fire could not be checked, and the hull burned to the waters edge. The exact cause is not known, but it is, supposed to have been either a back-fre into the car buretter or the accidental ignition of gasoline that had been spilled while changing the carburetter. There was no insurance.
