NO CASE AGAINST HIM.
George Eaton for Stealing Mrs.
Bells Furniture.

George R. Eaton received a telegram
from Napa yesterday notifying him that
the ca e of felony EN- be u cement brought
against him by Mrs. Bell and Nanny
Pleasant has been d dismissed by the court
on motion OF the District Attorney.
Mr.. Eaton is much pleased with the
outcome of the case, and says that he will
probably bring suit against The Bell es-
tate for damages. -Four years ago some
furniture was stolen from the Bell ranch -
said Mr.. Eaton, ''and later l bought the
rest of the furniture for $50. When the
Bell case came up in court l testified
against Mrs. Bell, and in revenge she
charged me with stealing the furniture.
1t was spite work pure and sim pie, and
while knew that they could never con-
vict me OF the charge, the notoriety given
me was not very pleasant"

WISE WORDS.

There is not in the world mask
that con disguise vulgarity.
The eye of ambition is an orb that
can be closed by no opiate.
A man or woman out of temper is
like an instrument out of tune.
1t is far easier to see through q
stone wall than through prejudice.
Many man grovels in the dust " no
has nm arm long enough to reach the
sky if he would only put it out.
Good breeding is the result of much
good sense, some good nature, and a
little self-denial for the sake of
others.
man hurts himself more in his
wife's estimation by being brutal to
other people than he does by being
brutal to her.
There are people who would do
great acts, but because they wait for
the great opportu mites. life passes,
and the acts of love are no: done at
all.
A pretty girl is like a catchy air
when you first hear it you go around
everywhere hnmming it, but the
first new one knocks it out of your
head.
A girl who can't see an old dead
horse in the street without crying,
will walk mile to look at lot of
dead birds stuck on bonnets in IL shop
window.
When we are children we would
rather be whipped than apologize for
anything after we get older we would
rather apologize for anything than be
whipped.
Just little bit of loving thought
can give so much happiness, and the
richest people in the world are those
who have learned the JOY of sharing
all their happiness with others.
Life is made up, not of great sacri-
fees or duties, but of the little things,
in which smiles, and kindnesses, and
small obligations, given habitualiy,
are what win and preserve the heart
and secure comfort. -Th South West.

Power Of pedaling.

A series of experiments have been
made by NJ. Bouuy, of Paris, says En-.
gineering, to determine the power ex-
erted in propelling bicycle at differ.
ent speeds. The method adopted was
to take an autographs record OF the
total force exerted on the pedal through
a complete revolution. An examina.
tion of the records showed, in the first
place, that there was no absolute dead
point such as occurs with an ordinary
connecting rod and crank motion !;
and, secondly, that there is always
some pressure.on the pedal during the
rise, and this, OF course. tends slightly
to reduce the speed. For speed oil
ten miles an hour nineteen foot.
pounds of work was done per semi.
revolution, and for speed of twenty
miles an hour the work done was sixty.
seven foot.pounds. These figures show
that the average pressure of the foot
required on the pedal increased very
rapidly with the speed, treble the work
being needed in order to double the
velocity. The bicycle was run on a
wooden racing track, and the results
would probably differ considerable il
the trials were made on rough road.

Sl0nld One Sleep Alter Eating!

We would not now revert to this
oft-discussed question to give anyones
theoretical views or personal belief in
the matter, or to bring forward the
familiar argument, that because ami
mails sleep just after they have eaten,
hence the human animal should do the
same, says the Medical Record. Doc
tor Schule, of Fr:bourg, has, however,
approached the subject from the
ico-experimenta side, and bis re-
suits are worthy of record Having
analyzed the stomach 's contents in two
normal subjects II few hours after
meals, some of which were followed by
sleep and others not, he finds that
sleep has for its constant effect the
weakening of the stomach's motility,
and at the same time there is an in
crease in the acidity of the gastric
juice. On the other hand, simple re-
pose in the horizontal position stimu-
lates the motive function of the stom.
aoh, but does not increase the acidity
of gastric juice. The conclusion is
hence reached that. while one should
stretch himself out for rest in the
horizontal decubitus after a hearty
meal, he should resist tho tempting
Morpheus, especially if there be pres.
ent dilated state of the stomach or
if its juices be hyperacid.

Habit counts for so much in LITTLE
things that one cannot look too care
fully after the small courtesies in ones
own conduct. A writer in the Interior
describes visit to a home where the
young people possessed the true polite
ness which habit had made natural.
One evening last week | entered q
room where several young men with
books and work were sitting around
the lamp. The young man with the lex.
icon and the grammar on the table be.
fore him was the busiest of the group.
but he instantly rose and remained
standing until had taken my seat.
The little action was automatic: the
habit of his family is to practice small
courtesies, and the boys have been
trained from childhood to pay defer.
ence to women. They always rise
whenever a lady, their mother, sister
friend. or guest of the house, comes into
the room where they are at work.
Neither mother nor sister goes on,
after dark without an escort. One OF
the boys can always go out of his way,
or find 1t in his way, to see her safely
to friends door, or to the meeting
which she wishes to attend. Most win.
ming and sweet is the air of good breed.
ing which these young men have ac,
quired, which they wear with an un.
conscious grace.
You should not care so much about
the merely superficial conduct" says q
friend. "Veneering is only polish laid
on. ! approve of the man or woman
who is honest, sincere. | can pardon
him n little brusquenesS which may be
his only misfortune"
1t is not veneerin., to be polite We
are apt to grow confused on this sub.
ject, and to fancy that there is nat.
ural conflict between goodness of hear,
and elegance of department. The fact
is, life would be far more agreeable
ting if polteness were more assjdI.
ously cultivated.

The head containing the spermaceti
oil is always cut from the trunk and
hauled in whole. OF course the
whales jaws come with it, and they
measured often from eight to twelve
feet. When we killed other whales,
from time to time, some of the men
lifted up the lower jaw, while the rest,
one alter another, would crawl
through the throat, not down where
Jonah went, bat to the deck. This 1
did more times than have fingers and
toes. 1t should be remembered that
in each case we crawled through the
throat of dead whale. If, when dead,
a whale had throat to admit me,
then weighing ITO pounds, what would
be the possibility of a live, mad and
hungry whale? Although sperm
whale is large, the bowhead whale is
much larger, with throat not only
capable of swallowing n well-built
man, but, in my Judgment, good
sized horse or COW. Thus it can read
lily be understood how and why am
so emphatic in my remarks at the be.
ginning OF this article. l would fur
ther say that all the stories and learned
opinions that have ever been devised
and related in reference to the inabil-
ity of whale to swallaw a man are
simply absurd. l am skeptic no
longer, and, whatever men may say or
believe concerning the wonderful
whale story of the Bible, not one jot
or title of it ought to be abated, mod
itied or left out.
When whale is killed he never
dies unless his head is toward the
sun. Sometimes the skies would be
overcast when we killed a whale, but
when the clouds would vanish it would
be seen that his head was toward the
sun. l never knew a whale to do
otherwise. l cannot explain it, nor
did l ever hear it explained, but some
how, have IN idea that God, the cre-
ator of this monstrous creature, has
given him the instinct to turn to the
light while he is sinking in darkness
and death. Is not this lesson to the
higher creatures, teaching them IN
darkness and despair to keep their
faces ever toward the Greater SUM-

An English custom of not so long
ago was to hang smugglers on gibbets
arranged along the coasts, and then
tar the bodies that they might be pre-.
served long while, as warning to
other cul prits. AS late as 1922 three
men thus vanished could have been
seen hanging before Dover castle,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch. Some.
times the process was extended to rob-
bers, assassins. incendiaries and other
criminals. John Pairter, who fired
the dock yard at Portsmouth, was first
hanged and then tarred in 1776. From
time to time he was given fresh coat
of varnish, and thus was made to last
nearly fourteen years. The weird
custom did not stop smuggling or
other crime, but no doubt it worked
some influence as n preventive.
