probably saved his life and put into
him a substantial dose Of castor OIL

rather excited and without giving a
reason he asked for two ounces Of car
bolic acid The druggist asked him
what he wanted with it and the man
said at first he wanted it for a disin
fectant. Pressed for a better reason

| ing to die. The story he told was that
| he came TO his home in Iowa City and
| found his wife entertaining another
| man. There was q scene and he. LEI,
| the couple in undisputed possession
! determined to leave the city. He came
TO Cedar Rapids and the more he
| thought Of the matter, the less he con-
sidered life worth living. So he de.
cided on suicide. The druggist has :
! vein Of humor and he told the mar
he would sell him the carbolIc acid
The man tossed out quarter and ths
| druggist gave him two ounces OF cas-
tor oil. The man left the drug stort
| and he was followed He went in thu
| alley between Second and Third ave
nues and between First and Secons
streets. He turned the bottle upside
down and when the sticky nauseatint
| stuff reached his palate he spit l
out. But he acted as tho he was sat
| isfied, for altho he was followed
around town for a half hour he dit
not try to purchase any more poison
| When last seen he had drunk a hal
dozen gin ricklies and seemed to fee
much better.
