HEREDITARY IDEA OF SUICIDE
Proof That Mania Runs In Families
Has Been S-ubstantiated by
investigation.

With the object of showing the con-
sequences of intermarriage where a
suicidal faint exists. and the necessity
for imposing some restraint. the Men
del Journal. the organ of the Mendel
society. gives an instance of the de-
velopment of suicidal mania through
four or five generations.
Two families lived in the same vii.
lage and the tradition Is hat one fam
lily was addicted TO suicide by drown
Ing and the other by shooting. The
tradition is traced back at least five
generations, but the actual records Of
the first generation we're not kept.
In the second generation one in
dividnal committed suicide by drown
ing, and in the shooting family there
was a case OF suicide by shooting. OF
that generation a member of the
shooting family married one Of the
drowning family. and of the issue of
the marriage one person committed
suicide by shooting and another by
drowning. There were two normal
members of the two families who mar
ried. making what Is called a cousin
marriage. OF the offspring of this
union-being the fourth generation in
order-one was insane. with suicidal
mania. and Is still living; two brothers
drowned themselves. a fourth poisoned
himself, a firth shot himself and n
sixth poisoned himself. A seventh was
insane, with suicidal mania, and there
are three other normal members of
the family who are still living.
The suicidal mania persisted in 9th
er branches of what is called the
shooting family, and in one of these
branches In the third generation there
was a member who shot himself. His
son also committed suicide in the
same way and a third was insane with
suicidal mania. Two sisters were nor.
mai. but In the next and present gen.
Grafton all the offspring have had sui
cidal mania.

Cracklin' Bread.

In a divorce case at Mexico the
plaintiff criticised his wife's cooking
and complained 1t she put "cracklin'
bread" before him 10 eat. His lawyer
was laying great stress upon this point
and was particularly severe with the
wife for serving this homely yet savory
bread, which is peculiarly palatable to
native Missourians, when Judge Bar
nett interrupted him with the ques.
ton;
Mr.. Attorney, did you ever eat
'cracklin' bread?"
No, sir" came the prompt and
somewhat emphatic reply.
Il thought not" said the Judge. and
there was a ripple of laughter all over
the courtroom, which showed that
"craeklin' bread" was not foreign to
the appetites of those present. inclu

Fifteen minutes later white-aproned
James was turning my ice chest up
side down. He made a place for every!
thing and said it ought to be kept
there. no matter how small the ice
box. The meats, for example, should
always come between the milk and
butter and the fruit and salads. When
he finished my refrigerator held about
twice as much as had been able to
get into it. Another wondrous phase
of the situation was that James re-
fused a tip.

HELD MEETING IN GRAVEYARD
Young s~uffragette Proved Her Right
to Leadership and Her Fidelity
to the Cause.

In a graveyard Miss lnez Milholland,
Vassar graduate, suffragette, friend of
the working girl, amateur actress and
champion female shot-putter, executed
her first and one of her ~eleverest
strokes in her campaign of Votes for
Women"
1t was during her days at Vassar
college. Miss Milholland, on behalf
of a band of enthusiastic suffragettes
enrolled from the students, had in
vited several prominent leaders of the
cause to address a mass meeting on
the college campus. The news of the
approaching event reached the ears
of the faculty. and President Taylor
issued a stringent edict f~orbidding the
gathering. Miss Milholland was not
daunted, however. A short distance
from the college grounds was a grave
yard. Collecting her forces, she moved
into the cemetery and the speeches
were delivered among the tombstones.

When an olive-colored touring car
as big as a coal gondoIa drew up in
front of a stall at the market house
there was some lively stepping by
the marketeers. The man at the
wheel wore a huge bearskin coat that
must have set him back $500; the fe-
male occupant was attired in a seal
skin that was the exact duplicate of
a thousand-dollar bill. while every
bark of the big machine proclaimed
that it took $1,000 to pry 1t loose from
its makers. The woman approached
the stall.

inquired.

WEAK ON FINANCE
GIRLS STUDIES OF MONETARY
SUBJECTS NEGLECTED..
MIR. Fstherly's Daughters Are Charm
ING in All Ways. But They Have
Strange Ideas as TO the
Handling of Money.

Strange IDEAS OF finance our chill
dren are likely to have. said Mr. IA
therly For one thing, they seem to
think We are made OF money.
IF they want anything they think
apparently. that all they have to do Is
TO ask their father for the money.
That he might have difficulty IN sup
plying all their wants is something
that seems never 10 occur to them,
and they don't understand 1t when
sometimes have 10 tell them that
there is a klnk in the e%xehequer and
that cannot just then honor their
demands. But they have other queer
ideas about money. For instance:
I'VE make our two daughters each
n weekly allowance of money for their
various lesser wants. They spend this
money as they so along for many lit
tie things. or sometimes they aceumu-
late 1t until they get enough for some
bigger thing that they want. and then
they buy that. And then sometimes
when the time has come when they
want to get this more costly thing
they find they haven't accumulated
quite enough. They borrow the bal
ance of me. That is to say, they get
IN advance on their allowance, which
they pay back in installments at their
convenience.
THE home bank lets them take
their time about this. and sometimes
they are pretty slow. 1t Is hard, up
hill work for anyobdy to repay Dor
rowed money; | guess we all know
that. So We never worry the girls
about r~epaying this borrowed money;
we let thew take their time about 1t.
and we charge them 10 interest.
Then comes along a week when
the home bank is pinehed a little and
when IL would be n help to call some
amount on thee small. loans; which
we do, when agreed to by the other
party. by deducting a sum from the
weekly allowance and crediting the
same to the account of the loan as an
installment in repayment. We don't
actually get in any money by this you
understand. but we have to pay out
less. and that in the circumstances
may be a help. And o what do you
think one Of my daughters says to me
when | make her this proposition?
she is ready and willing, in fact
glad, 10 let that deduction from her
allowance be made this week. to be
credited to the account of her loan.
but since this money Is going to be a
help 10 me she wants to know ii |
don't think | ought to allow her some
interest on it! | have been out this
money all this time. but when she
pays any OF 1t back she thinks | ought
TO pay her something for the use of
it, Isn't that bewildering?
1T Is my experience that Mrs. Fa-
therly is q great economist. She never
wastes a penny and she can make a
dollar go further than anybody | ever
knew; but our daughters, charming
girls as they are, have only the haziest
notions about finance, and one of
these is that money grows in their ia
Tiers pocket"

neck. and she was black in the face
when he united the cord, and was
