PAGE 6 Received Highest Award Worlds Pure Food Exposition Nothing Doing The meeting held in the court room last Thursday evening at request of city council was fruitless for the reason that the water company em phatically declined to accept the new franchise on the terms offered by the council At the appointed time a large con course of citizens had assembled and after the council was called to order City Attorney McCarl announced that he had in hand the draft of the pro posed new franchise ordinance of the council with the McCook Water Works Co He stated at the outstart that the water company had refused to ac cept the ordinance as drafted by the council Mr Thompson suggested that as the ordinance proposed was thus a dead issue that no time be devoted to read ing the ordinance but that another live proposition be considered It developed that certain gentlemen of the city had filed that date with the city clerk a proposal to pump the water for the city at a stated price The city attorney replied that the council would later consider this pro posal and take action accordingly The council announced that they would meet with the gentlemen mak ing the proposal on Tuesday of follow ing week The council then adjourned Another meeting of citizens follow ed G E Thompson was made chair man of this meeting The proposal which appears else where in full in this issue was dis cussed at some length but no action was taken The general water works question was further aired and discussed by different citizens After considerable discussion and in response to a desire to do some thing concrete and practical the fol lowing named gentlemen were appoint ed a committee to ascertain through the city council the price asked by the present company for its plant Frank J Rolfe C

high and rarely do we hear the questions Why does the wind blow Why doesnt the wind blow What is this wind that rushes out of the nowhere Into the here Why should it blow at all or why some times so gently and at other times with the resistless force of the hurri cane The wind could have no power It could not even exist if the air had no weight this weight having been shown to be about thirty one grains for each hundred cubic inches of air When air is put in motion the effect is like that obtained by throwing a ball against an object The harder you throw the ball the harder it will strike and the great er the number of balls thrown at one time the greater will be the force of the blow When the wind is blowing I It strikes what it blows against and the harder it blows that Is the greater the speed of the air the harder It will strike against the resisting object What causes the wind to blow or why the air should be in motion is not easy to explain Simply stated it is caused by the tendency of hot air to rise and thus to form a partial vacuum into which tlu cooler sinonli air rushes in much thi satin vw - water will ill li d v nw utl - i level If tln earth viv -ii did not rotai

VAHUE City Clerk PRIDE ON BOTH SIDES A Story of the Duke of Somerset and the Artist Seymour We have all heard of the proud Duke of Somerset but we do not all know of the occasion on which his pride had a fall The story is told In The Glenbervie Journals It seems that the duchess had sent for Seymour a celebrated painter of horses to make the portrait of a race horse at Petworth Seymour during his stay used to dine In the stewards room but one day the duke was so pleased with the picture as it ad vanced that he desired that he would dine at his table At dinner Seymour who probably had not been expected to mix in the conversation took occasion to say that he believed he had the honor to be re lated to his grace This gave such of fense that he was either sent away or put so much out of humor as to go away from Petworth without finish ing the picture Afterward the dukes pride gave way to the desire he had of possessing a good portrait of his favorite horse and he ordered his steward to write to Seymour and engage him to return to finish his work at Petworth Seymour directed his reply to the duke himself in these words Your pride would not allow that I am of your family To convince you that I am your picture shall remain as it is for by I wont come But BRILLAT SiWAfM Tribulations of the Famous Just Like Henry why do you cry French Epicure and Jurist Brillat Savarin the author of The Physiology of Taste was the abso lute realization of the typical good liver The French revolution confis cated his property and removed him from his office as civil judge He fled to Switzerland and then to the United States where he played a fiddle in a New York theater to gain a living His property was afterward returned to him and he was made a counselor of the supreme court an office he clung to successfully through changes of empire and kingdom His Physi ology of Taste shared the fate of many celebrated books It was re fused by several publishers and even tually was published at the authors expense but without his name at tached to it as he considered the na ture of the work incompatible with his judicial functions It was Brillat Savarin who declared that the discovery of a new food does more for the happiness of the human race than the discovery of a star Monsieur the counselor a hostess asked him one day which do jou pre fer burgundy or bordeaux Madame replied the judicial au thority that is a lawsuit in which I have so much pleasure in taking the evidence that I always postpone judg ment so Frau Maler The sight of Vesuvius reminds me so of my poor

supposed to be a legal process but an incident which occurred years ago in the city of Natchez as related by Davy Crockett in his Life and Adventures shows that there are other attach ments which sometimes accomplish a beneficent purpose An odd affair occurred when I was last at Natchez declared Mr Crockett A steamboat stopped at the landing and one of the crew went ashore to purchase provisions He went into a saloon on the way and the adroit In mates contrived to rob him of all his money The captain of the boat a de termined fellow went ashore in the hope of persuading them to refund but they declined Without further ceremony the cap tain assisted by his crew and passen gers some 300 or 400 in number made fast an immense cable to the frame building where the theft had been committed Then he allowed fifteen minutes for the money to be forth coming vowing that if it were not produced within that time he would put steam to his boat and drag the house into the river The thieves knew that he would keep bis word and the money was promptly produced Tho PRESENCE OF MIND Earl Kept His Head and the Highwayman Lost His In Sporting Days and Sporting Ways Ralph Nevili relates two inci dents of the early nineteenth century in which English highwaymen figure In August 1819 Lady Stanley traveling from York accompanied by her servant was stopped by a high wayman when the maid in her alarm took up a bottle of ginger beer and the cork flying out made such a report that the highwayman instantly gallop ed off in great alarm Lord Berkeleys encounter with one of the famous gentlemen of the road had more serious consequences Being driven over Hounslow Heath he was awakened from sleep by his coach being brought to a standstill and a threatening face looking in at the window I have you at last my lord said a gruff voice though you said you would never yield to a robber Deliver Certainly was the earls reply but tell me first who is that looking over your shoulder The highwayman turned his head to look and at the same moment Lord Berkeley shot him through the head dead The Lion of St Mark The symbol of the Venetian republic the famous lion of St Mark is made of bronze There is a tradition among the Venetian people that its eyes are diamonds They are really white ag ates faceted Its mane is most elabo rately wrought and its retracted gap ing mouth and Its fierce mustaches give it an oriental aspect The crea ture as it now stands belongs to many different epochs varying from some date previous to our era down to this century It is conjectured that it may have originally formed a part of the decoration of some Assyrian palace St Marks lion it certainly was not originally for it was made to stand level upon the ground and had to be raised up In front to allow the evangel to be slipped under its fore paws The Very Oldest Inn Which is the oldest inn in England The title deeds of the Saracens Head at Newark date back to 1341 and local antiquaries cite documentary evidence to prove that the Seven Stars at Man chester existed before the year 135G There Is even a legend that the wife of Earl Godwin stayed at the Foun tain at Canterbury in 1029 But what are all these compared with the Fight ing Cock at St Albans mentioned in Old Country Inn and said to be the oldest inhabited house in England A few years ago its signboard modest ly chronicled the fact that it had been rebuilt after the flood The Tree Frog of Paraguay In the manner of disposing of their eggs many species of frogs exhibit re markable peculiarities A tree frog native of Paraguay makes its nest in a bush overhanging a pond The low er ends of a number of leaves are drawn together and fixed in that posi tion by a number of empty egg cap sules The eggs are also covered with a shield of empty capsules to protect them from the sun and air When the eggs are hatched the plug at the bot tom appears to fall out and the tad poles tumble into the water Out of
