I« Ejic.ee a private, personal affair? The American Academy of Medi cine aays it te in an official report of a committee unanimously adopted in a recent San Francisco convention of the country's best known physicians and surgeons "Suicide is a private and personal tffoir." the report reads. "There ts : r.o more justification for the publica t-> a of suicide accounts than for pub lishing other private matters..

Still. I have no pres, experience on which to base adi.ee ae to how newspapers should im? run. In the homicide bureau of District Attorney rharies S Whitman’s office • t was Eaid: “Suicide rases are not so important a problem in this office as you might think We get a few sui cide reports each year, but the num ber* are insignificant and almost un noticed by us as compared to more im portant crimes A discussion of wheth er suicides are suggested by newspa per reports of other cases would re quire a careful study of our books and the newspaper reports for many years. We are frank to say that we couldn’t help your controversy on either side tf we dug through our books. Severe and successful prosecutions of at tempted suicides, or their accessories, when ‘played up in the press, have usually reduced suicide reports. A poll of our staff would probably show that most of us believe prosecutions to have a deterrent effect, it is for the alienist to say whether press suicide reports tempt others. But If we were ANTONIO STELLA. M. D. cot so modest we might suggest that back looting is a much less popular pastime in New York today than it was a few months ago Well adver tised punishments for suicide might effect a similar distaste in these tempted." Suicides Decreasing. The 1910 United States bulletin on the suicide death rate put suicide at No. 17 in its list of "Twenty Leading Causes of Death.” Such diseases as tuberculosis, pneumonia, heart dis- ; ease and fevers head the list, with cases running from 10,000 to 81,720 deaths in 1909. The census report I shows 8.402 suicides in the country in ! 1909, with 8,332 cases for 1908. “This merely numerical increase In 1909 is due to the greater accuracy shown in the 1910 census taking,” the report continues. “The wide dispro portion between our large population gain in 1900 and this small three per cent. Increases in suicides reported proves a steady and real decrease lu self-murder in the United States.” The Chicago Tribune's annual poll of the country, published on January 1.1910, cited 10,852 suicide cases in 1909, and 10.230 in i909, or a decrease. "The suicide death rate has de creased in cities," admits Frederick Huffman in his annual careful Spec tator report for 1909. Huffman has collected data for 15 years In Ameri ca's 65 largest cities, based on the sucide percentage in every 100,000 population unit. He found the suicide 1 rate for every 100.000 population unit in 1894 to be 16 per cent His 1909 report, which tallies closely with the census bulletin on city suicides, shows the decrease in the 65 cities to I be 19.7 for 1909. New York city had the still lower rate of 18.9 in 1909. the greatest city of the country having reported 116 cases loss in 1909 than In 1908. Suicides in Election Years. The Huffman statistics for the 15 years covered show a suicide percent age which rises and falls, the highest figure being 21 and a fraction. Sev eral years saw it rise higher than 1909. and these were notably the years of presidential elections. The Huffman report explains the j city suicide as “produced by the in tensity of modern life and generally attempted by sane but desperate men. because they think death is better than life. Our figures show the above cause to be more common than mental diseases or by any industrial pressure on labor. Generally speak ing. the American leisure class pro duces more suicides than the working and middle classes. Bankers and brokers, after careers of fraud and dis sipation. consider suicide as the only alternative. So do tired society peo ple, like Mrs. Pierre Lorlllard, Jr., who asphyxiated herself in her Wash ington home because she w-as tired of it all. Statistics show suicides to be most common in new boom cities, such as the Pacific coast-, with its French atmosphere. Here again it is the gambler and the speculator who commit suicide. In short, suicide in this country, or at least the cities of it. is almost monopolized as a remedy for life's troubles by social parasites, who tire of life. and. having no other experience offered them to excite their jaded nerves and senses, kill them selves—just kill themselves.” SUICIDES THAT MAY SAFELY BE PRINTED — Cases of Whittaker Wright, Hector M’Donald and Baker Pasha Not Barred by the Doctors. Dr. Antonio Stella, world-famous | physician, cited the suicides of Whit taker Wright. Gen Hector MacDonald and Baker Pasha as cases fit to print even in the English press, which advertised them as widely as did the | American press. Whittaker Wright, the once power- I ful, wealthy and successful promoter of American financial schemes in England, forgot for a minute that the man who publishes the Yankee press agent type of prospectus to attract in vestors may have to prove the accur acy of every statement he makes. The alternative is a jail sentence for swindling. So the shrewd English protect their pounds, shillings and pence against financial exploitation, j Whittaker Wright, backed by popu larity in London society, with his riches supporting him and a beautiful i wife and children to make his fine, big London mansion a real home, was tempted to issue just one prospectus on Yankee press agent lines. This was to be his final wildcat specula tion. If it succeeded, and he never doubted that it would, he would re- j strain himself always afterward, he resolved, to every legitimate business. But certain Scotch investors, after investigating the fables in that , Wright prospectus, started to get ac tion out of him. Wright faced them | serenely, but he thought he had an in- \ fluence in his hands which no prose- : cution or evidence could break. It was his friendship for the Prince of Wales, but at the critical time tbe Prince failed him. Death Rather Th3n Jail. “1 fear your sentence will be too late, your honor." Wright said, smil- j ing, when called upon to stand up for sentence. No sentence was ever pro- I nounced on Wright either, for he dropped as he spoke, dead from a small ; tablet of the swift-acting cyanide of ! potassium. The Baker Pasha. General MacDon ald and another case or two, cited by Dr. Stella as printable suicide stories, had the military law of suicide for i foundations. Sir Valentine Baker, a decent English officer, was charged ! many years ago with Insulting a wom an of a rather poor social standing in a railway compartment. His sui cide was reported, but, years after ward. in the last Russtan-Xurkish Balkan war. Raker Pasha bobbed up serenely as one of the Turkish em pire’s greatest generals in all its his- j tory. MacDonald’s End Still a Mystery. A similar report was circulated about Gen. Hector MacDonald, who rose from the ranks of a Scotch regi ment to high command, and became the hero of the Soudan. He was re ported to have killed himself in a lit tle French town, but the sealed coffin supposed to hold the hero's body was never opened. Tommy Atkins will rush you. his fists active and • his breath hot with rage, if you hint Mac Donald was guilty of the charges made against him. THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE A Philippine Hero Was a Poor Fight er in Boyhood, but a Warrior as a Man. Up about Leavenworth about a thousand years ago—no. It was really more than that; say, twenty—there was the usual neighborhood crowds of boys. good, bad and Indifferent Among them was one with the red dest of hair, who led In all the boyish sports except one that brings the greatest distinction in Boyville— plain everyday knockdown fighting When It rsme to the fighting point Jack_ Jack Murphy—was all for turning It off with a laugh, even If he himself had to be the butt of ihe Jest. He simply wasn't the fighting kind— didn't believe In it. and acknowledged It- It seems be had been reared by eider sisters. So every young bandit who had suffered defeat or milder humiliation Irom one of the more ruffianly young pirates, tried to re trieve himself on Jack. When the Spanish war came on Jack enlisted, and all of bis old com pan Ions hoped that he never would i be under fire. Should he be tried for undue caution on tbe field of battle they would all be ready to testify that It was a constitutional failing; that he had been that way from boyhood, and really should have been on duty back in the hospital or any other place that did not require physical courage. Yes. his old associates at home talked it all over. In Scribner's for July General Funston tells something more about this happy red-headed boy. reared by sisters who didn't believe in fighting Here's the reference from Funston's article: "In this company (Company C) was a unique character, Sergt. John C. Murphy, who died only a couple of years ago as a retired officer of the regular army. Throughout the whole advance Murphy serenely smoked a large brier-wood pipe, which he only removed from his mouth when it be came necessary to address some pointed remarks to tbe men of his section He saw one of his men crouch quietly down behind s low shelter as If be contemplated remain ing there as the company passed on. Murphy walked back to the man. de liberately removed his pipe, as if be were afraid of biting the stem in two. and then, with unhoneyed words, fair ly kicked him tip onto the firing line, where the man made up for lost time by plying hie rifle with great vigor." Dew Ponds. Among the most singular archeo logical remains found in Great Brit ain are the ancient dew ponds, the construction of which is ascribed to the Neolithic age. The purpose of these ponds was to furnish drinking water for cattle. An exposed position, where springs were absent, was selected, and a broad, hollowed surface was formed and cov ered over with straw, or some other nonconducting material. Above waa spread a thick layer of clay strewn with stones. During the night the cold surface of the clay caused an abundance of moisture to condense from the lower layers of the air. Some of these ancient dew ponds are sllU working.—The Sunday Magazine NURSE PRO TEM By MARY EASTWOOD KNEVELS (Copyright, 1911, by Associate* Lsieratry Press.) On his knees In the mud under & driving rain Robinson carefully exam ined the overturned car. Lydia, nis coat wrapped round bef. sat on one of the cushions under a tree and wept. She was unhurt but unnerved from the result of the accident which had occurred—she knew—entirely through her own reckless driving. She recalled Robinson’s quietly uttered warning just before they had turned that last corner where they had lost the tire—it was the only thing he had said since she had interrupted nis j stammering, somewhat abashed, dec laration of love by an abrupt ana scornful. "No!" Robinson rose from his knees and came to her. "We'll leave the car where It is." he said, “and go on a bit till we find a house. Come, can you stand?" He helped Lydia to her feet and they trudged along the road half a mile or more till they came to a small white house, the only habitation in sight. Half a dozen chickens iiuddlea on the back steps for protection against the rain which still fell tn torrents. There was no bell and Rob inson knocked In vain. 'There can’t be any one at home." sobbed Lydia. “Oh, dear, what shall ; we do?" “Don’t worry." In another moment he had found an unfastened window, crawled in. and opened the back door for Lydia. She entered a cleanly whitewashed kitch en with a stove, a dresser, and an oil cloth covered table for Its princl- ! pal furniture. Lydia smiled through her tears. 1 "Oh. I'm so glad to get somewhere out of the rain,” she said. "Evidently no one's at home." said Robinson, "and I came in the regula tion way.” He showed her the key hanging on a piece of string Just out side the door. "Now. take off that ; wet coat.” he ordered, "and make yourself as comfortable as you can. These good people won't object. By Jove. I've a mind to make you a cup of tea while we wait—1 see there's a Found an Unfastened Window. fire In the stove." He helped Lydia oit with her coat "Hullo—what's this?” He had caught sight of a scrap ; of paper on the corner of the dresser j and he brought It to Lydia. “Johnny''—the note ran—"Ma has i sent for me to fetch Benny so you : look after Baby. Bee sure and don’t . leave the house. The milk is down ! sellar. Minnie." At this moment Lydia and Robin- j son beard a piercing wail from close at hand. “A baby!” cried Lydia, almost jump ing out of her chair. “What a ghnctiy situation!” "Poor little chap. I’ll look him up!” In a moment Robinson returned with a yellow-haired, red-cheeked baby about a year old and dumped > him down on Lydia’s lap. “Isn’t be a jolly little fellow?"' Robinson remark-I ed. ”1 do like babies I say. ir you don’t mind. I’ll take off my coat, my ; shoulders are getting chilly. Now, it you'll look after the infant. I'll see j what 1 can do about tea." Lydia held tbe baby as if he had been a hot potato, although she was trying her best to act as if she knew what to do with him. But this fright ened looking girl with arms like sticks did not suit the little chap at all. and be set up a loud yell. Lydia could not do thing with him. and when Robinson had silently observed this, be took tbe child out of her arms, set him on the floor, and taking out his handkerchief, with three knots and a twist, made him a beautiful rab bit which hopped. The baby stopped crying and gur gled with joy. As Lydia watched Rob inson in bis shirt sleeves in the home ly kitchen playing with the fat, red cheeked taby, she hardly knew him for the same ultra-fastidious Englisb man she had danced cotillions with, snubbed, teased, almost considered a coward because he had disapproved of a girl running her own car. All at once it came to Lydia that he was made of better stuff than she was. Robinson, with the baby balanced on his shoulder, was filling the kettle and setting it cn to boil. “I’ll fetch up the milk from ‘down sellar.' ” said he. "but first I'll step out to the barn. You watch him till I come back, please." Left to herself, Lydia bad the bril liant thought of setting the table. By the time she had collected cups, sau cers. plates and a bowl for the baby Robinson returned bearing cold ham. butter, and a pitcher of milk. “The table’s ready,” she said gaily. "Where's the baby?” asked Robin son. He was gone. After an anxious search Robinson found him in the sit ting room wood box and earned him back to his high chair at the kitchen table, while Lydia, much ashamed of herself, made the tea. “There s a good horse in the sta ble." said Robinson as they sat down, “and one of these—er—buggies. But of course we can't leave this poor lit tle chap here alone, and we can’t take him with us.” "Good heavens, no.” said Lydia. “Will you take sugar in your tea^ What do you suppose these people will think when they get tack and find us making ourselves at home?” "Oh. you leave that to me," said Robinson easily. “I’ll explain.” He broke a piece of bread into the baby's bowl of milk and sprinkled sugar over it. “By Jove,” said he. “we are rath er snug here, aren’t we?” He beamed cheerfully upon Lydia who in her heart agreed. The comfort of the simple meal was not spoiled by the coarse china, tne oilcloth, or the presence of the ri diculous baby spilling milk all over his bib. There they sat in the cozy kitchen like one family—and the face she bent low over her place went scarlet at the thought. Coupled with the lateness of the hour and their rong distance from home the situation was becoming embarrassing, and yet—and yet—she was enjoying it! “You don't know how pretty you look with your hair like that!” said Robinson suddenly. He drew his chair closer to Lydia's, but his tender speeches, if he had intended to make any, were destined to be interrupted for the second time that day. A boy s head was thrustShrough the window. “Gee!" said the head. “There’s folks here. Minnie, 'n they've got baby an’ they're eatin’ supper off'n our things!" Minnie, a fourteen-year-old girl, hur tled into the kitchen, with Johnny be hind her. Explanations ensued. It developed that Johnny had been “swirumin’.” “An’ baby would have been all alone if you folks hadn't come." said Minnie, her maternal heart wrung at the thought. I don’t know how to thank you.” By letting us borrow your horse and buggy." said Robinson promptly. Arrangements were soon made for their departure. Before Lydia stepped into the buggy she stooped and kissed the baby’s very dirty little face, then she and Robinson shook hands with Minnie and Johnny, and drove off to ward the nearest railroad station. “I'll never run a ca’r again," said Lydia mounrfully. as they passed the wreck at the side of the road. "Oh, yes. you will." said Robinson cheerfully, his arm stealing around her. There was a moment's silence. "Lydia," stammered Robinson at last, “could I—may 1—ask you something all over again?” And this time he was not inter rupted. Wasted Sarcasm. After a week in the country a promi nent lawyer returned to town, deter mined to stay during the summer. But before coming home he had the satis faction of telling the keeper of the “real old country boarding farmhouse" Just what he thought of things "There is one thing on your table.” said the lawyer, "which is not to be excelled by the best hotels of New York or Philadelphia.' “What is it?" asked the farmer. “The salt,” answered the at torney. with a fine display of biting sarcasm. "Well. I'm glad ye liked it." returned the farmer. “It’s the best Jimsons' keep, an' 1 ain’t pertlckler about the price.” SEEN ON A COUNTRY ROAD ___ _ _ - Pleasing Proofs That If You Stray Outside the City You Find Real Friend" ness. Now It Is an age of hustle, of forget fulness. of selfishness—everybody Is too busy with his own self centered Ideas to think of any one else. Per haps so far you who see only the pavements, the office buildings, the sun-swept streets, and noise-filled en virons of down town. But stray away once, and perhaps there'll come a new view ot life. Two men strayed out upon the Ray town road the other day. It was dusty, it was hot; the sun blazed as strong as though thrown through a giant mag nifier. Suddenly, from behind, there came a rush ind a puffing. A motor rushed past—and stopped. -Key!” called the owner. "Jump In; tor back seat’s empty!” The two n>rn did so. and began to observe. A half mile further down the road a spring wagon was wob- j bling along with rickety uncertainty j Then the driver leaned forward as if trying to jockey the horse into a trot. The quarry was just ahead—a man, his wife, and four children, all walking. The rickety conveyance over- i took them and stopped. The woman smiled and climbed up on the seat, while the husband stowed the children 1 in various parts of the wobbly little wagon. However, there arose a diffi culty. The load was too heavy for the | horse. "I'll get off." said the husband, hand ing the smallest child to his wife. "You'll do nothing of the kind." the driver answered hurriedly. “I'm tired 1 of riding, anyhow." And so it was all along the road. Everybody said "hello" to everybody else when they passed. There was al- i ways a smile and a bow of the head, j and perhaps a hazard on the weather. ' And yet. from one of the hilltops the towering buildings of down town were in plain sight.—Kansas City Star. SUFFERED AGONY. Backache, Headache and Dizziness Caused Untcld Misery. Henry J.

LAND FOR PROFITABLE FARMING. Marcuse Colony, located in Sutter County, which is in the heart of the Sacramento Valley, is fast coming to the front as a farming community in which nearly every agricultural prod uct known may be successfully raised without irrigation. The soil is a dark, sandy loam, sedimentary in character, level and well drained. It has the advantage over other soils in that it is loose :n character and superior to heavy soils. With this wealth of soil, abundance of water, unexcelled climate and iong , growing season, Marcuse Colony is | the ideal place for the homeseeker with limited means, the went out pro fessional man. or the young man look ing for a small farm in a healthful climate. The proximity of Marcuse Colony to Sacramento, furnishes a ready market i for vegetables, poultry, eggs and dairy products. Fruits, vegetables, alfalfa, grains and grasses and poultry yield large returns. The rainfall is certain and drought is unknown. Land is yet moderately priced, but crop failures in other sections of the United States will bring new settlers in rapidly. This, together with the holding of the Panama Pacific Expo sition in San Francisco during 1915, is bound to raise the price, and wheth er for a home, or for an investment, now is the time to purchase. Land may be had in tracts suitable to the means of all and the results obtained are almost beyond belief.
