Even though he became finished artist in an hour and quarter, Sum- her Jenkins was not satisfied He wanted results. Ability to do was not enough for the young man He wished tc sell his artistic gems at once and wanted good market price. Jenkins lacking the temperament of an artist undertook to become one for material gain, and when results were not forth coming he swore out a complaint against his instructor for obtaining money under false pratenses.
 Jenkins expended $a.30 for com rlete outfit and q course in an easy method of enlarginS pictures. The youth was fascinated with the idea of learning a profession in the short space of seventy five minutes He bought he liquids, the paints and the brushes at the reduced price of a few dollars and then he took instruction. He was given a lesson in how to reproduce Photographs on glass and color the same and also to become proficient in the art of enlarging photographs. One thing the boy forgot to learn and that was how to sell his wares. He could not find market and said that T. C. Strand, who had sold him the outfit, had said his reproductions would be seized by an eager public at twenty five cents per.
 C. c. Strand, who is associated with his brother T. C., was not charged in the complaint. which was dismissed by Judge Parker yesterday. The artist was forced to return to the dissatisfied patron the sum spent in art uplift
