Why did he do it? He had everything
to live for. nappy home, wife, friends
money; but he shot himself through the
heart. Why?
He couldn’t have given a good reason
himself. But everything looked gloomy
to him. He was in a gloomy frame of mind.
It was the way he looked at life that day.
He had been living in too much of a hurry,
rushing and driving at business, hustling

Mr William F. Howr, of New

, Thorn,thinks tha' had the p; ia- ner
been tried in New York he would
not have been convic'ed rs m irdi r
in the first degree land in referring
to the District A toney who se
cured the conviction he said: “Mr.
Youngs is the representative of Mr
Platt in Queens county and no
doubt many of the jurors know
that.” If the people could believe
that the conviction of Thorn was
really a triumph for Senator Plait
they wou'd almost be persuaded to
think better of the E isy Boss But
it would take a smarter lawyer
than Mr. Howe to convince them
that the verdict was anything else
than a triumph for Justice.
At the big harvester work in

Bushnell is the head a material
cut in w ges has been made since

works, the ni“ti wording on binder
frames received 35 cents a piece
last year whereas this year the
price has been cut to 25 cents ”
Shrely the makers of harvesting
machiniery ought to share in Pros-
■ perity’s harvest! The moral of
i such a cut in a year of phenomenal
crops is that American machinery
must have wider markets.
