ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Insane Farmer Cuts Threat with Re-
zor and Confined % HOspltaI

G. o. Kjeseth. a farmer liv-
ing a few miles southwest of
Antler was brought to this city
Friday noon and is confined in
st. Andrews hospital suffering
from elf-inflicted wounds on his
throat in an attempt to take his
life by the razor route during a
fit of insanity. The following
from the Antler American tells
the sad story:
Mr.. Kjeseth has been labor
ing under a religious and poll
ticel delusion for several
months past and has neglected
his family and business affairs
to no small extent, the family
suffering great privations be-
cause of his neglect, but the
matter was brought to a head
this afternoon when Anton
Kalstad, one of his neighbors
nent out to the field where he
was wandering around, and
found him with razor cut in
his throat and it was with con
siderable difficulty that he got
the instrument away from him
without injury to himself and
kjeseth as we'll. Mr.. kalstad
Immediately got the injured
man into a rig and brought
him to town. DR.. Perrin dress
ed the wound which is not a
serious one. although it re
quired eight or ten stitches to
sew it up. Kjeseth had start
ed the razor just under one ear
and finished under the other,
but at no place had he cut
through to any of the vital
parts.'
1t is probable that as soon as
the wOuld-be si,icide is suftic-
iently recovered he will be
taken before the insanity com
mission, adjudged insane and
taken to the Jamestown insane
asylum.

games that afternoon, winning

the second one 1 to 0. The
first game was good exl,ibi-

CREED OF THE COUNTRY BOY
Life Out Of Doors and In. Touch With
Earth 10 Natural Life Of Man
Square Deal Demanded.

In every school house in Prince Ed
ward county. Virginia, a placard con-
taining creed for the American
country boy and dedicated to the
Boys Corn Club Of Virginia has been
posted. II reads:
Il believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out
OF doors and In touch with the earth
Is the natural life OF man. l believe
that work with nature is more in
spring than work with the most in
tricate machinery. I believe that the
dignity Of labor depends not on what
you do, but how you do It; that op-
portunity comes to a boy on the
farm as often as to a boy in the city;
that life Is larger and freer and hap.
pier on the farm than In the town;
that my success depends not upon my
location, but upon myself; not upon
my dreams, but upon what I actually
do; not upon luck, but upon pluck.
believe In working when you work
and In playing when you play, and
In giving and demanding square
deal In every act OF life."

TIE wonderful new fur-cloths are SO
! like the skins which they initiate
that they appear in all outside gar
ments made up with genuine furs used
as trimming. They do not suffer in
the least by comparison with these.
The owner OF a coat made OF ex-
pensive fur sometimes finds a drop Of
bitterness mixed with her pleasure in
It. The thought Of the number OF
small animals that must be sacrificed
or more often still, the thought that
the finest OF furs are not very durable,
are disturbing to ones peace Of mind.
Now that the new fur-cloths have
proved such triumph with women OF
fashion they may have wraps more
durable than natural furs, longer lived
and quite as beautiful, without regrets
Another good feature OF the fur
cloth wrap lies in the fact that 1t may
be altered in shape to conform to the
altered lines Of the styles as new sea-
sons arrive. The altering OF fur gar
ments is an expensive undertaking on
account OF the difficulty OF matching
and sewing skins. No difficulties OF
this kind are met with in handling fur
cloths.

HOW HEROES ARE DECORATED
Comparatively Few People Have Re-
eeived Medals Of Honor Bestowed
by the United States.

YOU would be very proud, indeed, II
you had been given the Victoria cross.
You have, Of course, heard great
deal about 1t, and know that men who
have won 1t must be OF the bravest.
You would be proud to win the Iron
cross OF Germany OF the cross OF the
Legion Of Honor Of France. But how
about the Medal OF Honor which the
United States sometimes bestows on its
heroes? Do you know anything about
It? Not a great deal, we are sure,
and yet II is rarer and harder to OBJ
tain than any OF the others. In 40
years more than $4,000 men won the
cross Of the Legion Of Honor, 10000
men won the Iron cross during the
FrancoPrussian war alone, but In 80
years since Its creation, only 3,08S
men have been considered as worthy
to wear the Medal Of Honor. To win
1t q man must have distinguished
himself conspicuously by gallantry and
intrepidity, at the risk Of his life, be-
yond the call of duty" So. YOU see.
we Americans need not hang our
heads when England and France and
Germany speak OF their decorations
for heroism. There are less Medals
OF Honor, not because there are few
er heroes, but because our standard
OF heroism Is higher.-The American
Boy.
