Gun Case in Court

A gun case was tried in the
Municipal court in this city on
Tuesday afternoon before NUM-
cipal Judge George Calder
William Backlund Of the town
of Barksdale was accused by
Gust Peterson of the same town
of having pulled a gun on him.
After hearing the evidence in
the case Judge Calder found the
defendant guilty of assault with
a gun and be was given a fine of
$500 and costs, amounting in
all to $11.96.
Backlund stated to the court
that he was unable to pay the
fine and the plaintiff in the case
took compassion on the man
whom he had recently accused
and put up the fine money,
taking Backlund's note for six
months. When they left the
court room they were happy and
friendly.

coROT, THE ARTIST.
His Whole Life Was Song, and Melo-
dy Permeated His Works.

His Whole Life Was Song, and Melo-
dy Permeated His Works.
Those painters who also have the
feeling and some of the proficiency of
a musician reveal it in their work.
They are usually colorists, with more
eye for the colors and tones of nature
than her shapes and forms.
Such one was Corot. He had "a
good tenor voice and played on the
violin. He sang at his work and sang,
too, when he was not painting. but
wandering through the forest of Fon-
tainebleau or around the village Of
Vile d'Avray, absorbing the beauty of
the scene and storing up impressions
for future pictures. In fact, his whole
long life of seventy-nine years was to
lie Pere Corot. as his friends loved to
call him, a. song.
And one feels it i'm his pictures, at
least in his later ones, by which he is
best known. Their coloring is subdued,
like a lullaby or waking song, for it
was the dawn or twilight that he pre-
ferred to paint His works vibrate
with the hum of melody, and here and
there is an accent of effect that trem-
bles like the string of his violin.
Corot's long life was a remarkable
instance of man being able to con-
tinue to the end the springtime Of his
youth.

Power of Falling Water.

Still water gives no power no en-
ergy. Falling water has only as much
power as is represented by it's weight
A gallon Of falling water will develop
as much power as falling block OF
iron weighing 62.5 pounds. Of course
the greater the fall the greater the pow
er developed. Water falling one foot
will develop a pressure of .43 pounds
per square inch of pipe. The same
amount of water falling 100 feet will
develop pressure of 1881 pounds per
square inch of pipe. Falling 1000 feet
it would produce pressure Of 433.09
pounds per square inch of pipe. To
compute the power of falling water II
is necessary to multiply the volume OF
flowing water in cubic feet per minute
by it's weight, 62.5 pounds, and this
product by the vertical height Of the
fall in feet, and divide by $4,000, the
number Of foot pounds representing
one horsepower for one minute.-New
York World.

Has Skipped Away

Charles Hawkes., who was con-
victed in Municipal court last
week for dealing in intoxicating
liquor and who was fined fifty
dollars and costs or given a SEN
tence of three months in the
county Jail, has left for parts un-
known.
After pronouncing sentence
Judge Calder let Hawkes. out on
his own recognizance, giving
him five days in which to arrange
for the payment of the fine.
When the five days were up it
was learned that Hawkes. had
left the city.
Should Hawkes. return to the
city he will be taken up by the
officers. He was one of the
young men arrested in the raid
mede on the rooms over the
Burns building on New Years
morning.

Food Should Be Carefully Selected and

The eminent American Psychologist
Lusk says that nature, through the de-
vice of appetite, usually provides
against the use of improper food, but
that reason must play part in food
selections. A glass of milk and piece
Of pie are poor materials for the brain
Of an active business man whose seden-
tary life requires $500 heat units or
calories to maintain his body machin-
cry
We need also water, salts, proteins
and certain newly discovered sub
stances called vitamines. All these
materials are to be found in milk,
beans. bread and other great funda-
sugar or of glucose are not the exclu-
sive mainstays of life. and yet glucose
taken alone yields $500 calories at q
cost of 4 1-6 cents, and $500 caloIies
in the form of cane sugar cost 1-3
cents.
Glucose is the cheapest food fuel
known, but, like cane sugar or butter
fat, is not a complete food in that it
does not contain everything necessary
for life. Commercial glucose is abso-
lutely harmless. A man must have
sufficient calories in his diet if he is
to live properly and perform labor sat
isfactorily.-New York World.

Influence of Hard Times

A minister once wished to ascertain
what influence the hard times had
upon his congregation, and said, at
the close of his sermon:
L would ask everyone who is
still able to pay his debts to rise
from his seat"
The whole congregation arose with
the exception of one man. The
parson then asked all who were
unable to meet their bills to rise.
Thereupon the solitary individual
got up, hungry-looking, poorly
clad man, whose features revealed
the terrible struggle of one fighting
hopelessly against the vicissitudes OF
the world.
How is it, my friend, that you
are the only one among these people
who cannot pay his debts?"

ingly, / am a publisher of a news
