ALL XIGHT IX JURY ROOM.
What Will the Women Do About It
When They Get Equal Rights?
George A. Wilson, v.ke old timers,
tried and true Democrats who went
through the dark days of reconstruction,
announces himself unQualifiedly
against the ratification of the Susan
B. Anthony amendment. Mr.
Wilson has fought an hundred battles
for democracy and never one
against it.
He related a little instance he had
with a suffragette in Lexington, who
never fails to declare herself in favor
of female suffrage by any and
all kinds and every variety, from primary
elections to federal amendment,
Susan B. and all. He was arguing
against the fad a few days ago and
trying to show her that female suffrage
would not do in this state. She
held her ground and maintained it
was as good for Mississippi as for
Montata or any other state.
"Are you in favor of women paying
poll taxes for the privilege of voting,
as men do?"
"Indeed I am," she replied.
"Aro vrm in favnr nf female suf
frage if it compels women to sit on
juries?"
"I certainly am., We will take our
places on the juries and exercise all
the functions of men."
"Do you know that in criminal cases
juries are not allowed to separate
and that if women are on the jury
they are likely to be locked up with
men over night; occupying the same
room? Suppose there should be 11
men on the jury and one woman,
locked up and must occupy the same
room overnight, perhaps several
nights, one woman and 11 men. Are
you in favor of that kind of female
> suffrage?"
The lady replied, "I don't believe
there is any such law."
"Then ask your husband, a practicing
lawyer, an old district attorney,
who is present, and see what he
says."
"My dear husband, is that the
law?"
"It is, my darling, and if you
should beNthe one woman on the jury
locked up with 11 men, some of them
perchance might be negroes, what
would you think of female suffrage
, then?"
"I did not know that was the law,
and in that event I am opposed to it."
Let other good women who are
suffragetting around apply the lesson
to themselves and answer it in their
<vrrm nrov flllf in tllO TCOCit TfrkTllPn

. are drawn on juries and are forced to
serve. There could be no exception
because of race, color or sex, should
Susan B.'s amendment become part
of the federal constitution. If made
voters by that amendment, there will
be no excuse for women to shirk jury
duty. They must stand up and take
their medicine like men. Beautiful
picture to contemplate, indeed.

Ticket Stamper's Accident
Led to Discovery of Art ;
of Printing From Stone
An odd accident led to the discovery
of lithographing.
In 1796 a ticket stamper, employed
at a Munich theater, carelessly left his
salary check on a table in the room
where he worked. A gust of wind
suddenly blew the check off the table
Into a basin of water on the floor.
He dried the check as best he could,
and, to straighten the paper out. he
placed it underneath the whetstone,
which had been resting on his print,
ing stamp, and left it lying there
throughout the night.
The following morning, on taking
the stone off the check, he was surM?teA/*
a?o thnt thft imorint from
I %V MVV c
the stone was transferred to the
check, and the thought struck him
that by means of a large stone he
Could "print" programs and songs. He
made experiments, and finally discovered?through
this accident?the art
Of printing from stone.
Thus was he the first lithographer.
"The World War," Official
Name for Great Conflict
The war is still so close to modern
times that all sorts of names have
been used to distinguish it from other
wars. The war department through
the secretary of war, ha9 decided to
call It "The World War." An official
order to that effect was made public
recently, declaring that "the war
against the central powers of Europe,
Id which the Uoited States has taken
part will hereafter be designated in
all affidal communications and piblieatim
as The World War.'*
DEAD ARE MOUNTING GUARD
Soldiers Who Were Killed at Douaumont
Still Thrust Their Bayonets
Above Ground.
At Douaumont, France, Cardinal Du!
bois, archbishop of Rouen and former
bishop of Verdun, blessed the historic
[ Tranchee des Fusils, the "Trenches of
I the Rifles." September 14. The ceremony
occurred in the presence of General
Valentin, commander of the forts
and heights of the Meuse: of M. Robin, i
mayor of Verdun, and a delegation of |
the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh j
regiment, according to Current His- |
tory, ivew iorK nines.
The Trench of the Rifles lies behind
a humble wooden cross erected near
Douaumont, which is a shapeless mass
of splintered rock, of barbed wire
writhing as if in torment, of nameless
litter, through which poppy and
bramble tried to thrust upward during
the summer. This cross overlooks
the bloodiest battle field of the war.
It was erected by men of the One Hundred
and Thirty-seventh regiment because
close by their dead comrades are
still mounting guard?there in the
Tranchee des Fusils.
It was a small episode amidst a cataclysm
and soon over. In Indian file
the men of the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh
crept forth to mount guard,
rifle on shoulder, bayonets fixed; there
came a sudden, thunderous boom; the
earth shuddered and cracked open,
closed again, and swallowed up all.
Thrusting above the ground, aligned
as on that last march down the narrow
trench that Jed to death, the bayonets
of the section rise a bare six
fnohps Tt tens this Trpnoh of Rifles.
and the dead heroes, still mounting
guard below, that the cardinal blessed.
LAW AS TO COLOR BLINDNESS
Does Not Mean Loss of Sight, Accord*
ing to Ruling Made by Georgia
Superior Court.
Color blindness does not mean total
loss of sight in the meaning of the law,
it was held recently by Judge John T.
Pendleton in the motion division of
Superior court at Atlanta, Ga.
Judge Pendleton's decision cleared
a legal point raised only once before
in the United States, so far as is shown
by court records. This was in Nebraska,
where both the lower court
and the State Supreme court held that
color blindness means total blindness.
The question was raised in a suit
brought by George "L. Fallin, who was
a locomotive engineer for the Atlanta
Joint Terminals, against the Locomotive
Engineer Mutual Insurance and
Accident association, a branch of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
Engineer Fallin, it was set out, became
color blind while engaged in his
line of duty and was discharged from
his position. He then applied to the
engineers' association for his insurance??1,500?for
the loss of his eyesight,
as stipulated in the policy. The
association, however, declined to pay
the amount on the ground that color
blindness did not come within the
terms of the policy concerning blindness.
Fallin then brought suit in the
courts through his counsel, City Attorney
James L. Mayson.
Chinaman and His Queue.
On April 16, at what was once the
village of Fanpoux, I met a Chinese
who was trying to grow a queue. It
was only about a foot long and did I
not improve his appearance any. That
day while out in the fields salvaging
ammunition, his nose told him he was
in the vicinity of some unsuccessfully
buried foreigners. He was hardened
by this time to all sorts of disagreeable
things, but the incident went to
the back of his head and only served
to strengthen hfs belief that he should
grow a queue. Foreigners wear their 1
hair cut short. He had been in France
going on two years and had long since
concluded that he did not want to imitate
them. Hence the queue.?World's
Work.
Dantzig Rich in Memoriea.
The old fortress of Dantzig is rich
in Napoleonic lore. It was here that
the man of destiny failed to heed the
intimations of a grand council of his
marshals?Murat, Ney and the rest?
that his star had passed perihelion;
It was here that he upbraided them for
having grown soft in prosperity, and
for opposing the invasion of Russia;
and it was from Dantzig that his legions
"jumped off" for the ill-fated
Moscow campaign.
In a later day Dantzig was the background
and base for the northern
shear of Mackensen's gray-green pincers
that took Warsaw.
The Gridiron.
"hut yon have no field of honor in
zis countree," said the French visitor.
"Oh, yes, we have," replied the
American citizen.
"Oui?"
"Oui, oni. We have a field of honor
with two goal posts at each end, and
our husky young Americans take a delight
in plowing it with their noses."?

Japanese Produce Dwarf
Trees Through Training
in Reverse to Nature
There Is a general impression that
the method of producing dwarf trees
is a secret that the Japanese have
never divulged; but the course to be
pursued is really simple. The whole
system of culture may be summed up
as the reverse of nature's method. It
really consists, not in the survival of
the fittest, but rather in the survival
of the unfittest. A poor, weak seed is
usually choseu and planted. As soon
as it has attained some growth the
leading shoot is trimmee orr. ?ne little
plant then grows two other shoots,
and these are carefully watched. When
one shoot exhibits a strength and vitality
greater than its fellow it is at
once cut off and the weaker shoot is
untouched in order to form the future
dwarf tree's main stem or trunk. This
system of trimming and cutting is followed
punctiliously. Water is seldom
used?only in very small quantities to
keep the little plant actually alive.
The tree is kept in a pot too small for
its full development, and the roots are
constantly pruned. The shoots are j
carefully trained and bent to follow
the growth of a large tree. All this
requires great patience, but the Japanese
never tire watching the growth
of the tree from day to day, week
to week and month to month. When
the tree has been growing for about
five years, it can then be practically
left to take care of itself. It has become
accustomed to its training, and
its surroundings, and, like force of
habit, follows the course laid out for '
it. In this manner some very mag-1
nificent specimens of dwarf trees are \
produced which in their miniature '
beauty and majesty compare favorably
with their big brothers in the untrained
forests.

PIGS CAUSED I!
WORLD WAR
Quarrel Between Austria and Serbia
Traced to Difficulty Orer Swine
Pigs?just pigs?brought on the
wir, according to a statement accredited
to Count Carl Seilern, formerly
confidential adviser to the erstwhile
Emperor Charles at Vienna. Frederick
H. Mead of Troy, N. Y., a member of I
the Red Cross convoy taking food sup- j
plies to Budapest, reports the count
as saying: !
"Fifteen years before the war Seryia
was shipping great numbers of
pigs into Hungary, successfully competing
with the Hungarian farmers.
The Hungarians protested but the border
was left open. Finally the AustroHungarian
government on the pretext'
that all Servian pigs were diseased
placed an embargo on them.
"Up to that time the two govern- j
ments had more or less of a friendly
understanding. Political leaders in
Servia seized upon the pig Incident
Austro-Hungarian diplomats took up
the question. Misunderstandings arose
over it. When it grew too old for political
propaganda, other questions
were built out of it and thus the world |
war was brought on.
"Yes, there is no doubt, pigs caused
the war."
