He smelled smoke and informed his wife. 1oth ex amined all the stoves and found nothing wrong, but could smell somothing burning, IFinally Mrs. Heath opened the door which led 1o the stairway below.

Frank Peach, frost-bitten and wizened, a German about forty-five years old, made a dash at celebrating Now Year's eve by at- tempting to commit suicide at 5:30 o'clock last evening at the corner of Eleventh and Farnam streets. Ho swallowed & four- ounce bottle full of a mixwure composed of promide of soda, chloral hydrate and water, Scarcely had he drained tho phial when his weditations upon death were rudely broken in upon by Officer Vanous, who straightway hustled him aown to the police station and telephoned for City Physician Ralph. That ofiicial was away from home and wouldn't bo back for haif an hour. The would-be suicide was cnucked into the station sick room to await develop- ments. He uttered no complaint about suffering any pain, buta sev look in his eyes gave m- dications that the chiloral hydrate was slowly gewting in its work. When spoken 1o Peach said with great em- phasis that he hoped he would die before the doctor came.

When asked why he waoted to die he replied that he was totally discourayed. His wife died fourteen years ngo and since herdeath he has been wandering up and down the country. Hesaid he didn’t care anything for his children, and they didn’t caro for him. As he talked along, or rather was made to talk, the drowsiness caused by tho drugs wore off, and by the time the doctor came he seemed to be rapidly getting over their effect. The doctor said, after an examination, that there was no doubt but thatthe patient would live, as he had been drinking beavily to all appearances, aud his own assertions before taking the chloral. Had the man been a sufferer from heary troubio, however, in ever 8o slight a form, he would have been dead before getting 10 the station, Peach stoutly maintains that he will himself at first opportunity.
