Bread and Water Diet.

Judge Murray sentenced the
stranger who was peddling on
the streets without a license, to
fifteen days in city jail on a bread
and water diet or a $25 fine.
The fellow was unable to raise
thatamount, and chose the lat
ter. He attempted to dig out Of
the jail one night last week but
was caught. Someone had bro
ken the lock and he nearly made
his escape. Wednesday night he
again attempted to break out.
Someone had broken the lock
again and had thrown him some
tools. He was digging his way
into another cell when he could
have easily walked out of the
jail. Mr.. Kimball happened to
go to the Jail between twelve and
one O'Clock and found the man
nearly ready to leave. He put an
extra police on for the balance
OF the night and in the morning
the man was removed to the
county jail. It is really too bad
that our city jail is such q flimsy
structure. You might just as
well put a man inside a three
barbed wire enclosure and expect
him to stay there.
The prisoner had been selling
pants and jack knives without a
license.
1t is believed that hs stole the
articles which he sold.
Should he choose to work on
the streets, he will be given
something more substantial
than bread and water.

MinOt business men do not do
anything by halves. s. ~.
One local paper advises every
farmer who sees a mustard plant
in his field to pull it. The writer
has seen some fields where d man
might pull till his arms are lislo-
Gated, and still he would not
have half the mustard pulled. It
is all right to pull the mustard
where it is just getting q start,
but considering that it is thick
on some of the farms, the only
way to keep it down seems by
blowing or cutting with q now
er.
One reason why the 100000
people made such a great effort
to obtain land at the Rosebud
Indian Reservation at Bonesteel,
S. D., was on account of the rail
roads booming that country. 1t
is no better than thousands OF
acres of land left in the western
part Of North Dakota, and we
believe not as good. Many peo-
pie went there knowing that
their chances for drawing land
was very slim and after they had
drawn the lucky numbers they
were not assured of gettinggood
claims.
The Optic takes exception to a
item published in the Independ-
ent referring to it's coffee adver-
tisement. There was nothing at
tached to the ad. to show that
those coffees were handled by q
Minot firm, therefore we were led
to believe that the ADVERTISE
ment interfered with the Minot
business men. We will take it
all back. Sorry we caused any
ill-feeling. But how about that
land ad. which the Optic is
printing? How can the Optic
hope to induce any of the land
men to advertise when it COM
petes with them? i

The case of Hackett VS.. Nal
chose attracted more than the
usual amount of attention.
More than q year ago Hackett's
little boy was playing near the
house when his clothes caught
fire from cinders left the evening
before by Malchose's engine which
went past his home. The little
boy nearly died at the time but
rallied and was brought to the Mi
not hospital where for mouths he
suffered and finally died. Many
will remember the bright little
fellow who waa wise beyond his
four years. Hackett brought suit
against MalchOse for $500.
Both parties live near Bowbells.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
An Out Of Door Academy Where 'e'n
c. Calhoun Was Educated.

An Out of Door Academy Where 'e'n
C. Calhoun Was Educated.
The education of John c. tnl-
houn is described by Mr.. &, u.
Pinckney as wholly remarkable. l-o-
fore he was fourteen years Old he
had read Rollins ancient history
and Locke's essays, besides many
other abstruse works. AT this age
his mother took him away from
books and set him to hunting and
fishing and out of door sports. No
more is heard of books until five
wears later, when it was decided that
Young Calhoun must attend a sem
mary.
The academy which his mother Sc
lected was that established near
Calhoun's home by DIR. Waddel. The
boys boarded at farmhouses in the
neighborhood or lived in log huts
in the woods near the academy and
furnished their own supplies. At
sunrise DIR. Waddel was wont to
wind his horn, and horns answered
from several boarding houses. At
an early hour the pupils made their
appearance at the log cabin school
house.
After prayers the pupils, each
with chair bearing his name cary
ed in the back of it, retired to the
woods for study. The classes were
divided into squads, according to
individual preference. In the spring
and summer months these squads
scattered through the oak and hick-
ory woods in search of shade, but in
cold weather the first thing they did
was to kindle log heap fires.
Whosoever imagines that the
boys did not study as well as they
would have done under the imme-
diate eye of the teacher is mistaken.
Nowhere could there be greater as
siduity in study, nowhere greater
emulation and eagerness to succeed.

Quaint Sayings of Children.

The late Frederic r. Coudert, the
New York lawyer and wit, had a
great fondness for children. He
collected indefatigably the quaint
sayings of children, and one Of the
treasures of his library was a small
manuscript volume filled with def
nitions that children had composed.
This volume was called a "child's
dictionary" and these are some of
the definitions that Mr.. Coudert
would read from it:
"Dust Mud with the juice
squeezed out of it.
"Snoring-Letting off sleep.
"Apples-The bubbles that apple
trees blow.
"Backbiter-A mosquito.
"Fan-A thing to brush the warm
off with.
Tce-Water that went to sleep in
the cold"
