"Jestlce" hus always been promptly

direct questions when the testimony
seems not quite clear.
Not so long ago. however, "a for

from Nashville. Among 'the other
strange and unprecedented things that
the lawyer did was to chullengc cer

Being u Juryrtian is a recognized pro
fession In that partlcluar region, and
the lawyer's object ions occasioned both
astonishment and linger In the breasts
of the gray-bearded regulars.
"Colonel .tones has been on the Jury
every settin' of this co'te for thirty
years," the old Judge remonstrated
gently, In one instance. "He always
hfts proved powerful satisfactory to
the co'te and to all others concerned.
Of course, as we air goln'.to have book
law in this case, you can object to
Colonel Jones If yo' want to, but 1
would pussotinlly like mighty well to
know why yo' object to him." ?
"From bis conversation, overheard
by chance, I am convinced that this
man would be unable to give proper
weight to the evidence I shall Intro
duce, your honor." the lawyer ex
plained briskly, "lie is unacquainted
with the meaning of the most ordi

"Thai so?" tlie old Judge remarked

The term 'preponderance, of evi

"Oh.'l reckon not." the old Judge In

One associates flowing robes and
stately walk with the (Jrcek actors,
but those players are shown wear

Nothing was sacred from these come

they carried to extremes. A g?n?d ex

his Icopnrd skin lightly over one

still faint traces of pink and yellow

were made.
FOOD SUPPLIES IN COMMON
No Efkimo Allowed to Go Hungry
While His More Fortunate Broth
ere Have Plenty.
The arctic explorer* Dr. Donald B.
MacMIMan. who returned recently
after four years spent In the arctic
regions, has many Interesting things j
say about the domestic and social
customs of the Eskimo.
All property Is owned In common,
ho tells us. * When you enter a vil
lage you are not Invited to come In.
It If your right to enter and, If you
are 1 ungry, to help yourself to some
thing to eat. If you happen to vlslt^
a house where a poor hunter lives, he
says, "Nurket-turarge (Nothing to
eat)." He does not go hungry, how*
ever, 1>ecause his neighbors have some,
and he lives on his neighbors. Every
thing- Is divided up that way. If all
the villagers are good hunters, thSlr
supplies last a long tlpie, hut If some
are poor hunters, the clever fellow
must share with them.
An Eskimo does not eat three meals
a day and sleep at regular Intervals,
lie cm when he Is hungry, and sleeps
when he Is sleepy, and he puts It off
as lone as he can, so that he will en
joy It al! the more. lie will go around
for six hours talking about how hungry
he Is. and then he will set to work
and eat all he can. It Is the same
uay with sleeping. He will go with
out sleep for 48 hours, and when he
cannot keep his eyes open any longer
he turns in for a 24-hour snooze.?
Youth's Companion.
London's Sea Gull Visitors.
London's winter visitors, the sea
gulls, have arrived particularly early
this year. Never since the hard win
ter of 1895 first Impelled them high
up the river, and Into hitherto un
known regions of parks and private
gardens, have the birds omitted to
make their yearly call to the Serpen
tine and Kensington gardens' round
pond. On the river, of course, the
gulls, single or In flights, have been
regular habitues for many years, per
haps centuries. Feeding the gulls
from the bridges is a favorite occu-1
patlon for many a Londoner, or rath
er it used to be, for now the feeding
of birds la forbidden, on the ground
of waste, by the defense of the realm
regulations. The gulls will have to
shift for themselves this winter, and
Londoners' reputation for hospitality
will suffer accordingly In the bird
world??Christian Science Monitor.
Beaten To It
"Germany, confessing her wicked
ness and protesting her repentance,
reminds m* of a rascally fortune hunt
er," said the director of military aero
nautics. Gem-ml Ivenly.
"This fortune hunter was describing
his pursuit of a Pittsburg h.-iress.
M'In proposing,' said his listener,
'you ought to have told her, George,
that you were unworthy of her. That
bait seldom fails.'
"The f<\rtune hunter gave n gloomy
laugh.
"'Yes, 1 \va? going ,0 tell her that,'
he said, 'but she told it t<> ine first.'"
