Why Life Was a Burden to Him
 By Max Adeler
By Max Adeler

Some time ago Cooley caught young man who was just about to jump from the wharf into the river AS he seized him, he saw that it was Jim Kelley, and he said:
 why, Jim, what are you trying to do?'
 q reckon it's for the best" said Jim Perhaps I'd better not do it, after all Why, was going to com nit suicide" .
 "Suicide." exclaimed Cooley. Why what on earths the matter with you? Are you crazy, or drunk, or poor?"
 "No."
 "In love, maybe, and disappointed"
 "No."
 Well, what's troubling you?"
 Well, I'll tell you" said MT. Kelley. Ut doesn't seem so much now, but it bothered me awfully while ago. Why, you see, I was sitting in my room up in the boarding house there, and I got to thinking. l thought what if I was to fall in love sometime with red-haired girl, and I was to marry her, and what if she should give birth to twins with the same kind of hair And s'pose those twins should grow up, one named Isaac and the other Jacob, and s'pose Jacob should want to go to sea for a sailor and we let him go, and he should get wrecked on the Cannibal islands. and the can. nibals should take fancy to him and adopt him as an idol, and set him up in a temple.
 And s'rose, after a while, he should gradually kinder get into their ways of living and should become a canni- bal himself. And spose Isaac he should marry and raise a family of children. and one of his boys should go to sea and should be cast ashore on the island where his Uncle Jacob was acting as idol, and those canni- bals should kill him, and cook him, and offer some of him to Jacob, and Jacob should eat him and want more And then s'pose the government should rout out those savages, and send Jacob home, and he should have acquired such taste for Isaac's chill dren that he would get to nibbling at the rest of them. and Isaac should ketch him at it. and suspect him and accuse him: and Jacob should then kill thet other red-headed twin and eat him, and then eat all the children, and finally eat his mother and me. and then start out to swallow his aunts and uncles, and other relations, until he cleaned up the family?
 Tt was so awful that couldn't bear to think of it, and so ! thought l would just block that heathen's lit. tie game hy drowning myself before the thing went any farther
