Dare looked up at his daughter,

sweet, to be protected and loved be-

In Suicide Attempt

Denhoff, N. D., Feb. %. An at
tempt to take his own life by eating
rat poison was made by a youth a
Denhoff. The lad, an eighth : grade
student, had limited to schoolmates
earlier in the day that he would at
tempt to commit suicide. but they die
not believe him.
One Of the boys friends happened
to see him consuming the poison from
a tube similar to those sold at local

Instantly his face was again con-
