IT SOMETIMES H4PPENS.
His wife’s away and every night
\\V see him trudging down the
street,
The same times that he always does
When she’s at home to cook his
meal.
He sits upon his porch till nine
And then goes silently to bed;
It sometime happens a man does this
In spite of all that has been said,
Before he leaves the house at morn
He waters every plant and flower;
He feeds the bird and mows the
lawn
And works around for half an
hour;
And through the windows we can see
Him washing dishes every day;
It sometimes happens that a man
Will do these things when she's
away.
When she comes home, she’ll find
the place
As neat as when she went away:
No dirty dishes well she see,
No room will be in disarray
He swept and dusted Sunday morn,
And washed the windows, I
declare;
It sometimes happens this way,
though
Such incidents, perhaps, are rare.

AN ANTIDOTE FOR SUICIDE.
They tell of an Atchison girl who
thought her heart was broken. She
was so convinced of it that she be
gan reading up on deadly poisons,
and cried softly to herself over the
thoughts of an early death. At
this juncture a friends sent her box
of chocolates. She ate one; life
looked a little brighter. She ate
another; why not put off that death
till next week? She ate a third and
forgot she ever had a trouble. All
of which is proof of the claim of an
Atchison physician that when peo
ple are morbid and unhappy the
most effective cure is something to
eat. No one, he says, can long for
death while engaged in chewing
something palatable. The man
who talks suicide should he given a
beefsteak instead of advice. At
