suicide by shooting himself sld succeeded in firing a bllet into his heart medical surgeons how ever cut his heart out squeezed the bullet from it put it back into posi tion and sewed him up tie man as thereafter reported s likely to recover seems that the chances of getting away from this oriels trou ble by the suicide route are growing less to the majority of men there is more real fun in facing and fight ing the whole wav through life but there are always a few who dont seem to be able to see the humor of a tough situation and prefer to de stroy themselves rather than contend against the odds to a natural finish will this mans experience be suffi cient encouragement to him to go on from where he intended leaving off having it to tell about would be enough for some people to live for the stouffville baseball club actually had a small suiu of money left over this fall from the seasons games when lo and behold along conies an amusement tax collector and swamped the fund and more be sides no tax was collected and no profits wore made but the collector insisted in making the tax payable so a few of the good sports had to go down and make up the deficit the same thing evidently occurred in aurora last week and this is what the manner paper of that town has to say about the matter the provincial inspector of amusement tax was in aurora on tuesday of this week threatening the town officials wimi dire pro ceedings because they had not paid a license tax of three dollars to the province of ontario twentythree amusement tax ticket had been sold for a baseball game last fall the town park was donated to the town the park has always been free to the citizen when the park has been granted to associations and an admission charge made by such the money has always been for the benefit of some public cause and the town council wish to keep the park free and not for corporation or pri vate profit it seems pretty small business to send high paid provincial officers around lo pic up paltry fees of three dollars a year and then make the town officials make sworn returns for every little game that is played on the field it is a damper on local athletic sports goodwood mrs wm
