K. ID. Shut.

We published last week the news re-
! ceived by relatives of the death of X.
ID. Shut, in Tacoma, Washington. No
particulars were then given in the tee-
gram, but since the shocking truth has
arrived that Mr.. Shut came TO his death
by his own hand.
The news is almost too terrible to e.
lieve but that the action was due TO
temporary insanity will be conceded by
everyone who knew Mr. Shut. Ii ap.
pears that financial difficulties were at
the root of the trouble. Ills affairs are
perfectly straight, but he was losing
largely in u contract he had given, and
the matter SO worried him he felt that
he was unable to stand the great mental
strain he was under
lis last act was done in his own
Office. After attending to his business
affairs for an hour or so the morning
of January 20, he borrowed revolver
from the outer Office and returning TO
his own room placed it to his head and
discharged the weapon. lie was dead
before help reached him.
Last summer Mr.. Shut received q
fall which broke his collar bone, shoul-
der blade and several ribs. lie recov-
cred fully or seemed to, but his friends
noticed that he was hardly his natural
self since.
Robert ID. SHUT was born in Capac
in 1853 and was 81 years of age lie
was married q years ago, but had no
children. His life has been varied
one, but whether he was up or down,
his friends were legion. He was a real
estate man, "a state legislator and a well
known citizen.
lie has made his home in Tacoma
many years and will be buried there.

the dumfounding occurrences OF the

think so. He may have exaggerated
his symptoms, when conscious, to
gain time; but II he had been able to
think clearly he would have secured
that letter before last night. You may
rest assured that that was the first
opportunity he had, after regaining
the power OF thought continuity And

most remarkable case Of likeness that
I have ever encountered. Moreover,
there is one thing we must not lose
sight OF. His abductors, as has been
demonstrated by everything they have
done, are an unusually clever and
cunning lot OF men. To counterfeit
age, SO far as the tattoo mark Is con"
cerned, is not 80 difficult as you might
imagine; and should have to see the
scar before admitting that 1t Is not OF
recent origin. The letter might have
been forgery, or real letter Sc
cured and placed In Cameron's pocket
for this very purpose. And hypnotic
suggestion would easily explain MS de-
sire to secure and destroy 1t. The use
OF a foreign tongue In his dementia
even could be accounted for In the
same way"
II was natural that Dr.. Massey
should exert his ingenuity to reconcile
these divergent points. To him II
seemed. as It had to me, that a mis-

WOMEN'S LEAP YEAR RIGHTS
In Scotland Years Ago They Were Rec.
oenized as Real, and We'll De-
fined by Law.

Ancient, indeed. are the prerogatiyes
that are accorded to women in leap
year. They are so old that none can
tell Just how or when they originated.
However, the ancient Scottish parlia-
ment gives us a date as well as law
upon which 10 hang the right OF WON
en- TO take the initiative In leap year,
as convention forbids them TO do I'm
other years.
In the year 1928 this body passed a
law which, in its quaint old English,
expressly conferred on womankind the
right to propose marriage in leap year
Here is the law, just as 1t was written
in the parliamentary records:
"Ordonit that during ye reign OF her
maist blessed Majestic, ilka maiden.
