DELIBERATELY GO TO DEATH i
Cases of Suicide Among the Lower An- ^
Imals That Are Seemingly Well
Authenticated. ^
According to the humane society of i
Spokane a horse deliberately committed
suicide thero the other day. The ifi
animal was decrepit and had been deserted.
Too weak to eat solid food, he
was tethered in front of a patch of
clover. He samplod the clover, and
then, according to the report, dellberatel
plunged headlong off a bluff
overlooking the river a few feet away
and was later found dead. E
Naturalista havo frequently related
the suicide of animals through grief.
Probably the oddest one of all is that
told by Dr. Ezeklel Henderson, the a
traveTer, of a tigress whose cubs had
been taken away from her by the *
nagerles of the United States. The >
party came upon the tiger's den while o
hunting Asia for exhibits. They took t
four cubs and crossed a nearby river c
with them; "destroying the primitive
tree trunk bridge after they had
reached the other side.
The tigress, returning, and finding f
her cubs gone, bounded by scent down v
to where the party had crossed the \\
stream. She knew of the tree trunk,
having made use of it herself before.
When she saw it was gone she uttered
the most piercing and lamentable 1
Jiowls and cries. The party with her v
cubs came back to the river bank, attracted
by the noise. The tigress, i
when ahasaw her -cubs, gate vent to ,
an unearthly shriek. Then crouching,
rising and recrouchlng again several
tlmos, she deliberately sprang from c
the river bank. The river was five 1
times wider than she could have been
expected to .leap, and leaping animals
are close calculators. She fell twentyfive
feet into the stream. She came
up once, turned toward the distant
shore, throw her lfead back and sank
for good. A clear case of suicldo the
doctor called It

take him at his true value, what he
means is that tho world won't accept
his own exaggerated opinion of him

"Long years ago, whfn 1 was a student,
I gathered vert*bf*te specimens
for the university on 'the plains of
western Kansas," sald^poctor Moody
in the University Kantfn. "One evening
while I was on of"1 an expedition
I lay in my tent sleeping. Little
did I dream of the Impending danger. J
It was a dark and gloomy night. The |
wind whistled through the pine trees. |
The camp flre burned low. My beardhad
not been shaved for weeks and'
my beautiful brown whiskers reached
almost to my belt.
"Suddenly I awoke. I seemed to
feel tho presence of other human beings
in my tent. 8everal minutes |
passed, but before I had time to move
a muscle a huge Slcux warrior dashed
bis cigar lighter and held the little
blue flame not more than three Inches i
from my face.
"My friends, for th* flrst time in
my life I knew the meaning of the
word fear. My whiskers fairly quivered.
Bttt-hickily ttif-me was spared.
"The bloodthirsty savage took one
glanee at my features and whispered
to a companion: 'We are foiled. Tho
villain has escaped. Only the hay
for his horse remains.'
"My trusty whiskers had saved
me. Then and there I resolved never
again to clip a single whisker: Can
you blame me?"
Butcher Wouldn't Believe It,
Health Commissioner P. A. Kraft of
Milwaukee tells a good story on a
Sixth ward butcher, whose market is
one of those that worry the chief food
Inspector into sleepless nights and who
was cited to appear before the health
commlssolner. He was told that his
market was a disgrace to the neighborhood
and his methods too filthy to
tolerate. - Prosecution and & probable
fine was suggested.
After voluably protesting his good
Intentions and promising improvement.
his eyes, according to Doctor
Kraft, fell upon a picture of a model
butcher shop erected by & North side
butcher. The man studied the picture
critically, 'and not without reverence
for some time.
"Study it," finally said the commissioner.
"You need the example."
The butcher showed some bewilder
ment, then said slowly:
"Ya-ast vot iss it?"
"What is it! Why, what do you
think It is?"
"Oh, I think maybe It's a church."
At the Shore.
Henry R. Law, Denver sociologist,
was lecturing in Atlantic City on eugenics.
"It's a bad thing for eugenics," he
said, "when a rich old man like Gobsa
Colde marries a young and beautiful
chorus girl, it's bad for eugenics?it's
also bad for the rich old mam
"Gobsa Golde sat alone on a windswept

Modern and Ancient Literature.
Modern literature, compared with '
nclent literature, is careless, slipshod. ,
ot wholly grown up; It has little ,
ense of responsibility. The chief
uty it sets before itself Is to hold'
lie mirror up to nature and reflect the
nintelllg'.ble happenings of life, in
11 th;*ir confusion, their Inconsistency, ;
heir Inanity. Ancient literature was
ominatod by a very different purpose.
; had a profound sentiment of high
Uty. The creation, so it seems to the
nclents, had boon left Incomplete, and "
lan, as the creature most divine, was!
harged with the labor of carrying on|i
he uncompleted task. With bold'
carts the Oreeks set to work to piece i ,
ut the Incompleteness with literature,!'
specially with poetry, to make up for
lie neglect of the gods by human i
chievement. I look on those ancient j|
Iroeks as I. do workmen who fill in!
lie marshy shallows of our river J
routs, put earth upon the spongy;
