1 George teaching in Sunday School. He is snubbed by the lady superintendent. He becomes tired of life.

2 He buys a revolver, and shoots the salesman. As he goes home he shoots two policemen and an apple woman. Too easy. He exchanges the revolver for Winchester Repeating Rifle.

3 He hires an aeroplane to circle above his house. As people watch it, from his bedroom window he picks off twenty-three. He tires. He purchases two pennyworth of rat-poison.

4 He visits the Kitchen of a large Hotel, and very unostentatiously drops the poison in the soup. 137 deaths due to misadventure.

5 He sets fire to the Grand Theatre. 5,022 persons burned to death alive. On his way home, carrying a cubic foot of dynamite, he is arrested. (Sensation.)

6 He drops the parcel and escapes. He is tracked. He is sighted. (More sensation.) He eludes pursuit, and is never recaptured. He lives happily ever after, and still retains a warm spot in his heart for the lady who helped to teach him how to live.
