The in oat Slugnlar Suicide on Kccortl
Krom the Albany Argus,
From Canneltun, Ind., comes the story of
a boy named Stanley Clark, who, a few days
ago, committed suicide because his mother
would not give him money to Jattend the
Owensboro Fair. He was sitting in com
pany with his widowed mother and the chil
dren, in the family sotting room, when the
subject of tho Fair came up incidentally.
Not the slightest apparant Importance was
given to the matter; it was talked of like
any other of tho thousand and one little
topics which we all tulk of dailyj around
our firesides, when Stanley remarked:
'Mother, I wish yuu would let me have a
liltle money; I believe I will go to that
fair." To tuls the mother replied: blau
ley I do wish you wouldn't ask me for mon
ey to go there. I wish you would not go.
You are only 13 years old, and I do not
tbiuk it wise or safe lor you to be keeping
so much company. I waut you to stuy at
home with us, and you know I want to
make home as pleasant fur you and all of
us as 1 can. As your mother I dread the
idea of your getting into bad company or
temptatiou."
To this he rather smilingly answered-:
You will let me have it, mother, I kuow
or words to that effect, while he turned into
his private room, where, before we can tell
it, the family were shocked by the discharge
ot a pistol, and rushing in they found him

streaming from the fatal orifice.

good person should pay to another, and the
best reaped we can render it is to say that

hearted majesty was a queen. Such a deed
is in itself a benefaction, and gives Vic

was much the larecst of the three, dared
both the Varnes' to fignt him, expressing
opiuiun that he could whip tbcin both to
