AGED MAN TAKES HIS LIFE AFTER
LONG SUFFERING I'LL HEALTH

The funeral of Harry Young, Sr.,
who killed himself Monday evening
in fit of dependency over his bad
health, was held this morning at the
home of his son, Harry Young, Jr.,
North Main street, New Hope. Rev.
DR.. w. A. Lewis, pastor of the New
Hope M. E. Church, was in charge
of the services, which were private,
and interment was in Chelten Hills
Cemetery, Montgomery County, I'M
der the direction of Horner.
The bearers were Jacob Faust,
Simpson Kelley, Horace Shick and
George Horn.
Mr.. Young, who was SO years of
age, had been in poor health for sew
eral years past, and it seems to have
preyed upon his mind. Immediately
after the son and daughter m-law
rad left the house Monday evening,
the former goi1s down the street
on an errand, and the latter stepping
over to a neighhor's for moment,
the respondent man, whom they. had
left sitting in the yard as was his
custom, slipped upstairs and fired
the shot that ended his life, it pass
ing through his brain, killing him in
stantly. Mrs. Young and some of
the neighbors heard two shots, and
hurried into the house to investigate.
He was found dead in his bedroom.
Coroner White, of Doylestown, was
called, and issued burial permit,
being satisfied as to the cause of
death.
The unfortunate man left note
for his son, stating that he could not
stand his sufferings any longer. 1t
had the appearance of having been
written for some time, but his rela-
tives did not suspect that he harbor-

BEETLE OFFICER
AT THE BRIDGE

An inspector for the United States
Government, in connection with the
Japanese beetle quarantine, is now
stationed at the New Hope end of
the Delaware River bridge. He is
Robert Warren, of Philadelphia, and
is clothed with full power to make
whatever inspection may be neees-
sary to keep out the beetle from this
side of the Delaware.
The large yellow flag flying in the
breeze attracts lot of attention,
some thinking it was smallpox
sign, at first, having read consider
able about that disease lately.
There is no unnecessary interfer-
ence with travel at the bridge, the
inspector only stopping cars and
trucks that carry contraband goods,
without permits.

ed such morbid thoughts. The note
said:
Dear Harry am sorry what |
have done, taking my life. | cannot
put up any longer with the nervous
feeling in my body. You must for
give me. The Lord will take care
of me and Mr.. Horner will take
care of my body. l want to be
where your mother is. | wish you
both good luck Goodbye ALL" 1t
was not signed, but was in his hand
writing, and on stand in his room.
Mr.. Young was a painter by trade,
of "the old school," who took vital
interest in his profession, leaving
record of good and faithful, work
that his relatives and friends may
well be proud of. The fact that his
health did not permit him to actively
continue in what had been his chos-
en- life vocation appeared to worry
him. For some time the son and
daughter-in-law had made it a prac-
tice to keep a watch on his move
ments, not because of suspected sui
cidal tendencies, but because he had
become so enfeebled that they feared
for his safety when he travelled
about.
Harry Young, Jr., head of the
local American Legion, and operator
and agent for the Northeast Penn
sylvania Railroad, at New Hope, is
the only near relative surviving.
Mrs. Young, ST., died in October,
1922, and was buried at Chelten
Hills. Prior to her death they kept
house, but since then he had resided
with the son, who was most devoted
to his father, and had done all pos
sible to tighten the latter's burdens
due to ill health.

DIDN'T TARRY
LONG in TOWN

The Doylestown Intelligencer of
Saturday, says:- This borough's
premier bum has been discovered.
He is Jim" Kitchener. "Jim" claims
the distinction of getting from De-
troit, Mich, to Doylestown, in less
than two days, without riding on
any public conveyance and without
the expenditure of cent.
He left Detroit Wednesday morn
ing at . o'clock. At o'colck in the
afternoon he was in Cleveland. From
there he boarded truck to Niagara
Falls and arrived there Thursday
morning at $50. He stayed there
for few hours and then hit the
trail back to Cleveland. He stayed in
Cleveland Thursday night, and de-
parted for Doylestown early Fri
day morning. He got through Young
stown, Pittsburgh, York and Lam
caster before night. Then he board
ed truck for Philadelphia, ar
irving there at $50 Saturday morn
ing.
From there Jim" went to Tren-
ton, and home by the way of Lam
bertville. He "blew" into Doylestown
Saturday morning at $50.
He really made money on the trip.
He left Detroit with Canadian
penny and did not spend this on
the way out, and on the way through
town this morning he found per-
fectly good nickle, bringing his finan-
ces up to six cents. This showed a
net profit of five cents for the trip.
Jim" spent day on the trip at
Niagara Falls leaving two days to
his trip from Detroit to Doyles-
town, a total of nearly six hundred
miles. This was an average Of
three hundred miles day. 1t is
very easy to do this, he says, as
every tourist is willing to give
good fellow" chop"
