A Thouahtful Erenoh Wife.

Weary of life, farmer went out to
his barn and hanged himself. A little
later his wife, entering the barn to
feed some animals, saw her husband
swinging from the rafters. Arguing
that If, as it was natural to think, her
husband intended to commit suicide he
would be exasperated by the frustra-
ton of his intention, she left the body
as 1t was and went on with the work
Of the farm. Several hours later in
the evening, when her daughter came
back from the fields, the woman told
her what had happened. Mother and
daughter deliberated for some time as
to what ought to be done and finally
decided to inform the mayor. When
that Official came in haste and cut
down the body life had been extinct
for several hours.-London Telegraph.

Tn. Democracy Of Death.


In the democracy Of the dead all
men at last are equal. There is nei-
ther rank nor standing nor preroga-
tive In the republic Of the grave. At
this fatal threshold the philosopher
ceases to be wise, and the song Of the
poet is silent Dives reliaquishes his
millions and Lazarus his rags. The
poor man is as rich as the richest, and
the rich man is as poor as the pauper.
The creditor loses his usury, and the
debtor is acquitted Of his obligation.
There the proud man surrenders his
dignities, the politician his honors, the
wording his pleasures. The INVALID
needs no physician, and the laborer
rests from unrequited toll. Here at
last is natures final degree in equity.
The wrongs Of time are redressed, IN
justice is expiated, the irony Of fate
ls refuted, the unequal distribution Of
wealth, honor, capacity, pleasure and
opportunity which makes life so cruel
and inexplicable ceases in the realm
Of death. The strongest there has no
supremacy, and the weakest needs no
defense. The mightiest captain sue
cumbs 10 that invincible adversary,
who disarms alike the victor and the
vanquished.-John J. ingalls,.
