Fight for Possession of Ranch Near
Walnut Creek.


WALNUT CREEK, Feb. $3.50 far there
has been no clash between representa-
tives of Joseph Naphtaly and the band of
armed men who are contending for pos
session of ranch near here. When last
Saturday night Sheriff Rogers served a
writ of ejectment on J. O. Smith, he
found julius Beeley occupying the prem
ises. Beeley claimed then, as he does
now, that Smith, having vacated the
land, he had right to locate on the same,
stating that Naphtaly had no legal right
to the land. Sheriff Rogers put Naph-
talys foreman in possession of the house,
but Beeley pitched a tent close to the
house and around it are marching to-
night, the same as last night, men armed
with rifles. Beeley and his supporters
say they are fighting for their home, and
that they will keep up the fight until
Naphtaly can show good title to the land.
Sheriff Rogers says he can do nothing
more towards settling the difficulty with
out an order from the court.

Position of the Feet In Walking.

There is but one opinion among physi
ologists as to the proper position of the
feet, and that is thoroughly opposed tc
the opinions of the dancing master or the
drill sergeant. A study of ancient sculp.
ture will show that no such conventional
method of standing or walking was
known among the Greeks. Here the feet
are turned straight ahead, with no in
clination to the right or left. This is the
position which our sculptors prescribe
for their models as the most natural and
graceful one in standing and walking.
DR.. Thomas Ellis, one of the highest
authorities, in monograph on this sub
ject names the flair, square" position il
walking as the most easy and natural one,
giving the greatest support to the body
with the least cyertion. In this position
the feet are plac, 4 straight ahead" and
the lines of the footsteps are slightly apart
and are parallel. This is the light, alert
walk Cf the Arab and is different from
the stealthy step of the Red Indian"
While tle Indian holds his feet straight
out, he steps so that single line could
be drawn through his footprints.
Dr. Ellis goes so far as to attribute the
deformity of fiat footedness to the habit
ual turning out Of the toes. He calls
attention to the arched foot and fine car
rage of the Arab as the result of hit
manner of planting his feet on the
qrnund.-ChicagO Tribune.

priscd the whole Family.
There is a sweet girl know who is
bit self willed. She is the youngest of
four sisters. and--oh. speak it lows
bit spoiled, though sLo doesn't think so,
but what spoiled child ever does? Well,
her eyes had been troubling her for
long time, but no amount Of persuasion
on the part of the family could induce
her to see an oculist. She is young and
pretty and could not bear to think of
putting on the "horrid things" The
family all thought her bit frivolous
and grew quite impatient over the af-
fair, but that dear child proved herself a
heroine in way and went up several
pegs in the estimation Of the family.
Supplied with her monthly allowance,
she went shopping with a list long
enough to swallow up all her shekels.
There was a new gown, hat and gloves
and innumerable accessories to be
bought: so, after informing the family
of her departure and dropping out a
hint that she might perhaps stop at the
oculist's. she urged one of the sisters to
go with her and sailed forth. They
wendell their way to the oculists first
of all, hoping the while that there was
nothing serious the matter But the
ocuhst looked grave and gave so many
tests that the girls began to doubt that
wishing made any difference, and when
he announced a grave disorder in the
sight of the pretty blue eyes and that
it was absolutely necessary that she
IL fhaiy. 10 OF
hopes fled, and the girls fell to discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY of eyeglasses or specta
Giles and finally decided upon the latter
as much more sensible. since they were
to be worn constantly.
After being fitted and paying the bill
that "spoiled child" tore up her shop
ping list, with the remark, Its no use;
papa cannot let me have any more money
just now, you know, so I'll have to go
without those things" So away went
the principal part of the list-the new
gown an impossible luxury, and only
few necessary articles being purchased.
Maybe l wasn't proud of Dolly, and
maybe the whole family-f&ther, mother
and all-weren't proud Of her self sacri
fee and didn't think her brave, sensi
BILE girl and weren't little bit surprised
that she had spirit enough to do It'll
Well, l only said, maybe they
weren't" So they were, and, do you
know, think she will turn out a sweet
sensible woman yet in spite of the fact
that she has always been the family pet

her life.-Buffalo News

Stealing the Declaration of independence

Stealing the Declaration of Independence.
When James Monroe was president
and John Quincy Adams secretary of
state, an ingenious English engraver OBJ
tanned permission Of the two dignitaries
mentioned to take the Declaration of In
dependence and engrave it in facsimile
on copper. He carried the precious docu-
ment to the printing Office Of one Peter
Force When everything was in readi-
ness, he placed it upon the imposing
stone and laid sheet of india paper OF
the same size upon it. This india paper
was next moistened with water in which
gum arabic had been dissolved. A heavy
proof roller with weight hanging from
each end was then rolled several times
over the historic document. When the
india paper was removed from the face
of the instrument, it took with it at least
one-half of the ink used in writing and
signing the document.
The document is less than a century
and a quarter years old, and with proper
care should be almost as legible as it was
on the 9th day of July, 1716. AS it is,
only II SIGNATURES out of the 50 can be
read without Il glass, and some of them

eminent which, when they found that

ent, stole the very ink from the docu-
ment which declares our independence.

HEROIC TESTS OF ANTlDorEs.
Doctors Have on Occasion Deliberately
Placed Their Own Lives In Jeopardy.

There is no difference of opinion
among doctors as to the heroism dis.
played by DR.. William Moor, the spec.
ialist on therapeutics. who has discov-
cred that permanganate of potassium is
an antidote for morphine poisoning, and
proved it the other day when he coun-
teracted the effects of what ordinarily
would bel fatal dose of morphine by
swallowing his new found antidote.
Some of the doctors who were present
left the room. Those who remained had
the opportunity OF congratulating him
on his discovery and selt-contidence.
Such cases are not uncommon. AL.
mos all successful physicians have, ac-
cording to the N. Y. Press, ut some time
placed their lives in jeopardy to expert
ment on themselves. Drugs, p%oisons
and narcotics are the favorite subjects
Of experiments, and physicians boast
that many obscure heroes have laid
down their lives in the interest Of
science because their calculations failed.
A Brooklyn physician, while travel
ing in France with his wife, was forced
to go through the cholera districts some
years ago. He had q new theory of his
own for the curc of cholera, and his
wife was in the fever of dread wei the
chance of infection. This man inocu-
lated himself with the germs of cholera,
and then with two paid attendants, iso-
lated himself from the rest of the world
and put his theory into practice, having
left minute directions for his treatment
before delirium set in. In a week he
was cured. Shortly after his wife was
stricken and he confidently applied the
remedy. His wife died and he never
again tried his discovery. To this day
he does not know whether his experi-
ment was a success or not. But it was
none the less heroic.
