Strangled by Her Collar

The man or woman who wears q tight
fitting collar will find a lesson with a
moral In the death of Rose Degreran, a
New York woman says the world. She was
strangled to death in her sleep by the
tight collar she was wearing at the time.
Miss Degeran was a professional cook. On
the afternoon of her death she was taking
few minutes rest on the sofa and feel
ing rather tired. she dozed off and was
soon sleeping soundly.
An hour or SO later. when every effort
to rouse her had failed. a doctor was sent
for in alarm. DR., Ross of New York hos
pital responded and pronounced her dead.
She had died easily and painlessly in her
sleep, strangled TO death. because her coll
lar was too tight. In turning her head In
her sleep she had uneonsciously increased
the ughtness OF the collar on her throat.
This promptly stopped the circulation of
the blood TO the brain, taking her from a
state OF sleep into one OF insensibility. Al
the tight collar also prevented respiration

save herself.

Wit and Wisdom of Bildad

We may be sorry for Adam and Eve, but
who cares to live in a garden after the
fall, anyhow? 1t is apt to be very cold
until spring.
II one-half the world understood how the
other half lived. 1t would probably decide
that life. was not worth living.
When a man is ambidextrous, he should
be careful to let his left hand know what
his right hand is doing, lest he overdraw
his bank account. -, 80 '.'
1t may be true. as some have said, that
money talks; but 1t is generally In the
form OF a money-logue, rather than real
conversation.
Many an artise of splendid technique
never realizes that he is not an entire sue
cess until he tries to draw a check.
Riches are said to have wings, but after
all, even the best and surest of coupons
are clipped.
Some men are so entirely devoted to the
general proposition of uplift that at the
psychological moment they are not back

There Is compensation In all things. The
man with short pocket usually has a

The hen Is such a cheerful bird,

And as she lays 80 many eggs,
III sing to her lay.
From dawn to dark. on busy days,
She's always up to scratch.
And when she's broodlng on her nest
She has some plot to hatch.
Her language is little harsh,
Her voice is sharp and raw,
But It is very sweet TO hear
Her laying cut-ter-qua-a-a-ww
She never has been noted for
A surplusage of brains.
Folks say she doesn't know enough
To go in when 1t rains.
She may not know so very much
AS learning goes, and yet
Without her we could never have
A Spanish omelet.
Kind nature has endowed her with
A genuine rubber neck,
AND when she wants some corn to eat
She goes and takes a peck.
Her natural temperament is calm,
And placid is her mind.
Though she gets quite excited when
A dog comes up behind.
She always takes what comes to her,
And doesn't blame her luck
II she has but one little chick
To summon with her "cIuckP'
And she is most persistent. too,
