LOVE CUTS HIS THROAT.
Body in Kneeling Posture, and Warm,
When Found.

Larned, Kan, April 24.-Miles Love,
aged Sc, committed suicide here Sun
day by cutting his throat with a
pocket knife. The body was discovered
by some boys shortly after noon, and
was still warm. 1t was found in the
brush near the Pawnee river in the
south part of Larned. Love had taken
off his collar and tie and after kneeling
down had slashed his neck once with
the three inch blade of a sharp
pocket knife, severing the jugular vein
and windpipe. He was still in a
kneeling position when found. He had
tied his necktie to a bush and had
placed an obstruction across a nearby
path, evidently to attract attention to
his body.
Love was baker and cook, and had
worked about Larned at different times
for several years. He is said to have
come from a prominent family at
Bronson, Allen county, Kansas, where
his sisters now live, his parents being
dead. He also has a wife, but is said
to have deserted her several years ago.

SHE HANDED HIM ONE.
Young Woman Gives DIR. f. l.. Love
land, Preacher, a Religious Tract.

If you had been a preacher fer
several years what would you think
II some one should walk up to you
and hand you a religious tract? This
is what happened to DIR. F. L. Love-
land. pastor of the First Methodist
church. DIR. Loveland related the in
cident in a sermon at his church last
night He also made plea 1or Inoi-
oughness in charitable work ana III

the American tendency to start plS'
but end small" in many projects
He took his text from the parable
Of the good Samaritan, saying that
the thoroughness with which the it'au
took care of the wounded and roDpNu
traveller was an example TOT al liIne'
of the thoroughness with Which cha-
itv and other affairs should be con-
Quoted. The church was crowded
His sermon in part follows:
1.-THE other day on the street a beau
tifuI young woman handed me tract
/ glanced at it. The paper was IracI
on piety. Think of it, Handing me,
a religious tract. 1 asked the young
woman what she was doing and she
said: Sowing the seed
II watched her go UP the street ana
she sowed the seed broadcast she
did not understand the methous "
seed-sowing. I would expect better
results from a Sunday school class OF

a Young woman, Sunday after Sunday
while the seed was sown in the fertile
young brains than from hundreds OF
tracts scattered broadcast.
lone time a young man. farmer
said he was tired of MASKING clods,
and went to New York to make his
fortune. He asked wise old mer-
chant for advice. The merchant asked
the boy:
what can you do well?'
"At first the lad replied that he
couldn't do anything, but after a mo-
ment he said:
81 can make pickles. I have sup
piled my neighborhood with pickles
for the last two years.
"'Then make pickles. the mer-
chant told the youth. Perhaps ne
didn't wish to do that, perhaps he
wished to be a lawyer, or newspaper
reporter, a preacher or something
great. but he followed the suggestion
and made pickles. Recently he retir-
ed with barrels of money the manu-
facturer of fifty-seven varieties of
pickles.
He did his work thoroughly. This
rule for success applies to church and
charitable work. Indiscriminate
charity which does not change con-
ditions so that a person has the
chance to become a self-supporti1g
citizen is of not much value. 1t is a
beautiful thing to give so many hum
dred dinners to the poor on Christ
mas, but the next day, or the second
day afterwards, these poor people will
be as hungry as ever.
'If every wel1-to-do family in To-
peka, who give to charity indiscrim-
1nately would instead, take charge of
one especial case. and see that the
person or persons were made self
respecting and self-supporting, Tope-
ka would be free from poverty in two
years.
There was nothing strange or new
in the fact that a traveller was robbed

marian took care of the traveller
which is the example for modern
times"
