TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF
Despondent Man. Giving Name of J. J. Turner, Prevented From Self-De-
 struction by Henry Christy.

Friday a stranger giving his name as J. J. Turner of Brick, Ok, wandered into the Corner saloon. run by Hopper & Anderson, and began to tell the bartender, Henry Christy. where he lived, and how to communicate with his folks, and in other ways acted so queer as to cause Henry to suspect that he in- tended to attempt suicide. He was discovered to have q small bottle in his possession, and Mr. Christy tried to persuade him to give it up. This he refused to do, snd upon Henry threatening to call an officer, he made an effort to drink the contents of the bottle which was later found to contain Iaudanum. Christy inter- fered before the man succeeded in drinking any of the poison and an officer appeared npon the scene and took the man in charge. Upon be- ing questioned as to why he wanted to die, said ne w.s away from home, had no money and did not want to live any longer. When the officer asked him if he wanted to go to jail or to his room. said he preferred his room, but wherever he went he expected to kill himself. He was taken to his room. where he seemed 70 have changed his mind, as he was all right Saturday morning and eft for De Queen.

PINE BLUFF COURT
 FREES ETHEL MONK
Little Rock Girl, Charged With Assault to Kill Her Father, Acquitted Would Take Sister
 From Him.

Pine Biuif, April l5.--Miss Ethel Monk of Little Rock, 16 years of age, was acquitted of a charge of assault to kill her fath- CT, John Monk, in Justice J. A. Frazier's court yesterday after noon. Magistrate Frazier reduced the charge to aggravated assault, but Prosecuting Attorney Creed Caldwell and Attorney T. Havis Nixon, who appeared for the state, refused to have her rear rested on the second charge, de- claring that they would never consent to a convection of white girl which would mean imprison- ment for term on the county farm.
 They stated that they would take the case up with the Jeffer- son county grand jury, and, if possible, have the girl indicted and sent to the state reform school, where her father wanted her placed.
 The case of Sarah Monk, also of Little Rock, the 19-year-old sister of the defendant, charged with disturbing the peace, was postponed in the city police court. The aged father of Ethel Mol k appeared in the magistrates court and testified against her. He wept while giving testimony and the scene was most affecting. The two pretty young women were accompanied to court by their mother, Mrs. Clara Monk, an attractive woman of Little Rock, who is divorced from the plaintiff. The case was most sensational, and while on the wit ness stand Ethel Monk testified that she was only recently taken out of convent at Hot Spring 8 by her father.
 She declared that she did not intend to injure her father last Saturday when she clubbed him at the home of Matt McGehee, on West Thirteenth avenue. She said that her father declared that he would kill her and her sister, and that she struck him with the club to prevent his carrying out his threat. The aged man, al though almost too weak to walk, appeared in court with his head bandaged.
 The young women came here last Saturday morning with their mother to appear as witnesses in the Jefferson chancery court, where petition, filed by Mrs. Monk, was to have been argued. The mother seeks to get posses sion of Clara Monk, a 7.year-old girl, who was awarded to Monk when the divorce petition was disposed of. The daughters went to Monks home to visit the girl, they said, and when the child begged them to take her away from the father, they did so. Monk pursued them and when he recaptured the girl, the other daughter assailed him with a club.

to furnish energy and heat
The third important constituent of
hay is it's oils. Small quantities of oil
are present in all kinds of hay. These
oils serve the same purpose as the
carbohydrates. A pound of these, how
ever, will furnish two and one-fourth
times as much energy or heat as the
same quantity of carbohydrates. 1t
can readily be seen, when the chemical
analysis of hay is considered, why the
price of the different grades or kinds
of hay should depend, first, upon the
amount of digestible nutrients con-
tanned, and, second, upon the purpose
for which the hay is fed. If the con-
centrated feed. e., the grain in the
ration protein, then the hay
that is high in this substance is more
valuable than one which contains lit
tie but carbohydrates, and vice versa.
There is quite a range in the amount
of the different classes of nutrients in
the various kinds of hay
On an average, in 100 pounds of al
falfa hay the digestible protein
amounts to 1888 pounds; in cowpea
hay, 1919 pounds; in alsike clover hay,
8.15 pounds; in red clover hay, 1877
pounds in redtop hay, 4.80 pounds;
and in timothy hay, 2.98 pounds.
In 100 pounds of red top hay the
dgestible carbohydrates amount to AZ
pounds; in timothy hay, 1872 pounds;
in alsike clover hay, 41.70 pounds; in
alfalfa hay, 1888 pounds; in cowpea
hay, 38.40 pounds; in red clover hay,
3615 pounds.
When fed for protein timothy hay
ranks last, but when fed for carbohy-
drates, it stands next to redtop, which
heads the list. If the total nutrients

substances are used to furnish the
energy required for the nervous and
muscular activities of the body, and
when fed in excess they may to GER
tain extent be stored up in the form
of fat for use later, when needed for
either energy or heat.
One of the most important sub
stances in any. foodsuff is protein. All
nutritive substances which contain
nitrogen are classed under the general
term of protein. Protein is composed
of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen,
sulphur and phosphorus. Protein is
the substance which builds up the
body. The muscles, tendons, liga-
ments, connective tissues, skin, hair,
hoofs, part of the bone, and in fact
every part of the body but fat are
made up of protein, together with min
eral matter and water.
The next important class of sub
stances is the carbohydrates, which
contain GORDON, hydrogen, and oxygen,
but no nitrogen, sulphur or phosphor-
us; they include starch, sugars, etc.
These are used for practically the
same purpose for which coal or wood

NUTRITIvE SUBSTANCES IN HAY.

The nutritive substances in hay or
feed may be divided into two classes
flesh formers and fuel or energy pro-
ducing substances. When the proper
amount of these two classes of sub
stances is fed the ration is said to be
balanced. If an unbalanced ration is
fed, as one containing more fuel or
energy producing substances than are
needed and less flesh forming material
the ration is partially wasted and such
unwise feeding will not bring as good
results as the feeding of the same
amount of a balanced ration. Each
class of substances has different of
fees to perform in the body. If not
enough fesh-forming substance is fed,
the body suffers, because it is abso-
lutely necessary to keep the body in
good condition. Thousands of horses
are fed all they can eat, yet are poorly
nourished because the food contains
little except fuel substances.
The flesh-forming substances are
used to replace the waste that goes on

THE FUNNY DRUMMER.

There was no doubt that a certain
couple in the Pullman. had just been
married, and married for love, but the
Pittsburg drummer said the matter
really ought to be investigated. He
said there was so much crime going
on that he felt it duty to diminish it
whenever and wherever he could
The young bridegroom was therefore
reckoning into the smoking compart-
ment, and the drummer said to him:
My dear sir, you are passing for a
bridegroom here, but the question in
the minds of few of us is: Are you
really married, or are you clipping with
that young woman"
oh, I'm married straight enough"
was the reply.

you a drummer or a swindler and horse

"Sir!"
Again, you pass for funny man.
Are you blamed funny or blasted
sober? In either case let me-"
And he slapped the drummer's right
cheek and left cheek and chin and bow
ed to the others and went back to put
his arm around his little bride again.
