JUROR WAS MIXED.
Yorkville Enquirer.
An incident unprecedented in the
aonals of the court of common pleas
for York county occurred yesterday
whfcti one of the jurors after listening
to testimony and arguments for
more than two hours, inquired of
Judge John S. Wilson, presiding, as
to who was the plaintiff and who the
defendant.
It happened in the case of the
Southern railway vs. James Bros.,
in which the plaintiff sought pay
for alleged cost of feeding of
mules shipped by the defendant. The
Issue was somewhat clouded in that
tbe defendant admittd his indebtedness
to the plaintiff railway company
Ollk/K.ok ? 1- -
uut iu uuiuuai as great as
the railway company claimed.
After Judge Wilson had completed
his charge be informed the jurorc
that he would be glad to answer any
question that any one might see fit
to ask. Juror R. H. Gilifilan inquired:
"Judge, what I want to know is
who is the defendant and who is the
plaintiff in this action?"
The information was given and the
Jury retired returning after some
deliberation with a verdict for the
plaintiff.
Lawyers discussed the incident
yesterday afternoon and local attorneys
as well as visiting lawyers said
that never before in all their experience
had they heard such a question
asked.
"I have often heard as a joke of
tho Juror who asked which was the
defendant and which was the plainIn
a cade," Senator John R. Hart,
,/cd: "but never before until this
afternoon did such an incident come
under my observation."
"I have bden en attendant upon
court off and on for forty-eight
years," said Mr. Robert Witherspoon
oi x orgviiie who was in the courtroom
at the time; "but nev<er before
had I heard a juror ask that question."
MME. DU BAlUtY'S ORIGIN.
Ruler of Louis XV. Was Once a
Lady's Waiting Maid.
Madame du Barry, who became
the favorite of Louis XV in his old
age, after the ddath of the celebrated
Pompadour, was of most humble
origin. She was the natural daughter
of Mme. Anne Becu, who, coming
to Paris about 1750, married a domestic
named Rancon.
Pretty little Jeannc Rancon, as
the later notorious Du Berry, "who
ruled the destinies of France for
five long years," was then known
aiiraciea many persons by her
beauty, among them a well-known
financier and philanthropist. Through
him she was admitted to the convent
school of St'e. Aurorc. She remained
eight years, emerging at fifteen.
During the succeeding years in
which little Jeanne was budding into

womanhood she served as a lady's!
maid, and as a milliner's apprentice.
In the midst of her gallantries and
i and love affairs she met the dissolute
t Comte Jean du Barry, who made her
his mistrtess. For four years she presided
over his gaming palors, until,
in the spring of 1768, she came across
' the path of King Louis, who immei
dlately became captivated with her
i charms. He made her his mistress,
and to give the affair a show of decency
the Person of Comte Guillaume
du Louis found a husband for her in
Barry, a brother of her former paramour.
With all her faults, Madame duBarry,
in the height of her power,
waa a patron of artis and letters.

Are Business Men Smart?
Dr. Edwin L. Thorndik, the Co
lumbia University psychologist, hai
devised a system of intelligence test!
intended to ascertain the mental abil
ities of prospective college students
Tbey reveal not knowledge, under
landing, but mental alertness, quiet
wit, perception. Recently he gave
these tests to fifty leading business
men of an eastern city. The results
were astonishing. Not one of the
business men was up to the average
of the young students entering Columbia.
And the general average oi
the business men was still further below
that of the college students. Yel
the business men were all regarded
as the highest type, conspicuously
successful. What does this indicate?
I. frankly, do not know. It is not
easy to believe that successful business
men are less intelligent than
college freshmen. Yet, perhaps, the
affairs of this workaday world do
dull our senses. I wonder if it isn't
alarmingly easy to go to seed. And
does proficiency in one special line
of thought tend to rob us of our
aptitude for everything else? Are
we as smart as we think we are? ?
