Show HE SAVED WOULD-BE SUICIDE ( Absentmlndedness, which has done e. 'some very rash things in its universal v career, was the alchemy that nearly rt turned a would-be suicide into just a jr1 suicide here. cr Harry Such, after the usual fight It 'with his wife, decided to go to the lce. .Place where wives and marriages are imputed not to be, which ought to be a ffine place. He tied a few yards of Clothesline around his neck and ,t8 jumped off a chair. John Korem, who rooms on the floor above, felt the jar, and hustled downstairs. He is one of those absentminded men who put their clothes in bed and go to sleep in the wardrobe. Therefore, Instead of cutting the rope with a knife, he searched leisurely around for a saw, and then sawed down the beam. It Is hard to say what Such thought of the delay, but he must have been mad, for he was blue in the face when Koren finally released the rope. When resuscitated he was asked if he still wanted to die. He turned a savage eye toward Koren and muttered: "Not yet; not until I get even with that absentminded duck!"
