suieided in Comfort,

mo nation is so fitted to celebrate
Thanksgiving as the IRISH" said
Chauncey Olcott. "Our Irish citizens
enter into this feast with a zest we
might all emulate. This is due, no
doubt, to the high spirits Of the Irish
and their love Of comfort and good
cheer.
There's a story illustrative of this
Irish trait-a story about the only
Irishman who eve attempted to COM
nit suicide.
THE man was found struggling
furiously in midair. He had fixed one
end of a rope about an oak and the
other end about his waist. His res
cuer found him spinning and kicking
and grooming Justify, eight feet above
the ground.
But, Pat the rescuer said, after
cutting the Irishman down-'but, Pat.

your neck instead of around your
waist?
