father has made his home with her in
San Jose. Besides her father she leaves

Anticipation.

Lieutenant Shackletol. tells how
when in the antarctic wastes he and
his companions sustained their spirits
and their bodies as well when sup
plies had to be cut down to a mini
mum by dwelling upon the glorious
eating they would have on returning
to headquarters. The value of such
mental sustenance has long been rec
ogniZed by up to date commanders.
There was the German officer in the
war of 1870 who sustained the flag
ging spirits and weary legs of his men
by shouting: "There is brewery in
side that town! Let us get there be-
fore anybody else" History relates
that the men did get there with re-
markable speed. Equally shrewd was
that Japanese commander in the Man
churian war who. seeing his men eX-
hauSted with thirst and knowing full
well the wonderful properties of picked
plums, cried out, Two miles from here
there is % forest of pums." The an
ticipated pIums went far to relieve
their parched mouths.

Young Jackson
Couple Welded.

Saturday evening Charles B. Johnson
and Miss Addie B. Myers, both of
Stoney creek, after quietly securing the
necessary matrimonial permit from the
county clerk, proceeded to the M. E.
parsonage, and we're there united in
wedlock by the Rev. T. H. Nicholas.
The affair was done so quietly and
swiftly that the most intimate acquaint-
ances knew nothing about it until some
time after the event. The same even
ing the couple attended the Joint install
lation of the Odd Fellows and Rebekah
lodges, of which orders the contracting
parties are respectively members. The
following morning the happy pair took
the train at Marell on trip to the city,
expecting to return in a couple of
weeks.
The bride is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs Oscar c. Myers of Stony creek,
and young lady of charming person
ality The groom has been a resident
OF the county for number of years, be-
ing the owner of the old Fenk ranch in
the vicinity of Stony creek. The many
friends of the contracting parties wish
them prosperous and protracted voyage
over the matrimonial sea.

THE NICHOLS CASE
Defendant Found Not Guilty

The trial of J. d. Nichols, charged
with rape upon Pearl .Hamm, aged IA,
was finished in the superior court early
Saturday morning, and resulted in YER
dict of acquitta. The case terminated
much sooner than was anticipated. The
testimony of the defendant himself, in
which he denied all the material alega-
tionS of the complaint, closed the evil
dence Friday afternoon A. Caminetti
commenced arguing the case from the
standpoint of the prosecution. Saturday
morning, after the opening argument
was concluded, McCee, the defendant 5
attorney, stated that he submitted the
matter without argument. Theis move OF
the defense shut off further argument on
the part of the prosecution, cut out the
closing by the district attorney The
court thereupon instructed the Jury as TO
the law bearing on the case. The jury
then retired for deliberation. 1t did not
take long TO reach a verdict. They re-
turned into court in less than half an
hour with a verdict of not guilty. Only
two ballots we're taken, the first stood 1
to in favor of acquittal, and the second
was unanimous for defendant The de-
fendant was at once discharged, and his
bondsmen eXonerated.

THE SETTING SUN.
When Vulcan Sailed 1t Round the
Ocean So II Could Rise Again.

When Vulcan Sailed 1t Round the
Ocean So It Could Rise Again.
The ancients had some queer theories
whereby they sought TO explain the
rising and setting of the sun. They
thought the earth to be fiat and were
greatly puzzled to know how the same
sun which plunged into the ocean at
a fabulous distance in the west could
reappear the next morning at an equal
ly great distance in the east. A num-
ber of remarkable theories were ad-
vanced, and every one of them was
wrong
Mythologlsts of old asserted that
after the sun had dipped in the west
ern ocean ut sunset Cthe lberians and
other ancient nations actually imagined
that they could hear the kissing of the
waters when the glowing globe was
plunged therein) he was seized by Vul-
can and placed in golden goblet.
This strange craft. with it's astonishing
cargo. navigated the ocean by north
erly course so as to reach the east
again in time for sunrise the follow
ing morning.
Among the more sober physicists OF
old. as related by Aristotle. it was be-
lieved that in some manner the sun
was conveyed by night across the
northern regions and that darkness
was due TO mountains which screened
off the sunbeams during the voyage.

What West Point Does For Its Cadets.
What West Point does for its cadets
is precisely this: 1t takes its youth at
the critical period of growth; it iso-
lates them completely for nearly four
years from the vicious influences that
corrupt young manhood and from the
atmosphere of commercialism; it pro-
vides absorbing employment for both
mental and physical activities; it sur
rounds them with eXacting responsible
tiles, high standards and exalted ira
ditions of honor and integrity. and it
demands rigid accountability for
every moment of their time and for
every voluntary action. 1t offers them
the inducements of an honorable ca
reer and sufficient competence as a
reward of success. and it has impera-
tive authority for the enforcement of
its conditions and restraints. Colonel
