LAWYER GAVE UP Legal Light Wisely Retired From Unequal Combat. Little Else to Do After Judge Had So Thoroughly Proved the Eligibility of Colonel Jones as a Juryman. Presiding over a judicial district in the Tennessee mountains is an old gentleman who invariably demands of litigants, before the machinery of the -rwviiW- to cat in mntinn "TVk rnn wflnt WU1 b W AAA AUW4VJU** ^ W W V?? book law or jestice in this here court?" "Jestice" has always been promptly declared for, and his honor must have distributed it with a wise and kindly hand, inasmuch as he has been reelected, almost unanimously, on every voting day ever since the Civil war. Natives do not usually regard a law? yer as a necessity when a cause is to be decided by this lawgiver of the hills. Bach man states his case for himself, and the judge simply tells. the witnesses to ."jest tell the jury all about this here matter, so far as you air informed," and helps out with a few direct questions when the testimony seems not quite clear. Not so long ago, however, "a foreigner"?from Kentucky?joined issues with a native, and imported a lawyer ttom Nashville. Among the other strange and unprecedented things that {he lawyer did was to challenge certain .of the men who were expected, as a matter of course, to form the jury. Being a juryman is a recognized profession in that particluar region, and the lawyer's objections occasioned both astonishment and anger in the breasts a# memlorc VU. uic ?gj u^u "Colonel Jones has been on the jury every settin' of this co'te for thirty years," the old judge remonstrated gently, in one instance. "He always has proved powerful satisfactory to the co'te and to all others concerned. Of course, as we air goin' to have book law in this case, you can object to Colonel Jones if yo' want to, but I would pussonally like mighty well to know why yo' object to him." "From his conversation, overheard by chance, I am convinced that this man would be unable to give proper weight to the evidence I shall introduce, your honor," the lawyer explained briskly. "He is unacquainted with the meaning of the most ordinary words." "That so?" the old judge remarked, pushing up his spectacles and surveying Colonel Jones reprovingly. "Now, I always thought that he was right well along in words. What was It he didn't seem to know the right \ meanin' of?" "The term 'preponderance of evidence,' your honor/' the lawyer asserted, "was most absurdly construed by this man. He?" "Oh, I reckon not," the old judge interrupted, with a kindly smile. "I reckon you just misunderstood him. I am plumb sure that Colonel Jones knows as well as I do that preponder ance of evidence means evidence previously pondered?don't you, colonel?" "Objection withdrawn, your honor," the lawyer said weakly.?Philadelphia Ledger. v Inspired by Joaquin Miller. Charles Wakefield Cadman. the famous composer, found inspiration for his sonata for the piano in A major, Op. 58, in Joaquin Miller's poem, "From Sea to Sea." Cadman said he prided himself on the inspiration he got from Miller's works in which he sang to the West of the United States. Cadman's first movement showed the West before the white man found it, and nature Uy he had to ring in his eternal love for the Indian. Without being too much influenced by the poet Miller, Cadman tried to carry out his idea, his longing for the West. It may be taken as the pioneer's thoughts of the eastern or southern home he has left in quest for the new, undiscovered land. Cadman also speaks of his paean of rejoicing for the continent now constructed. Triumph, pride, / beauty, happiness, optimism, breadth and ecstasy are the things he tried to write into his compositions. Finland Reaching for Trade. The Finnish Trans-Oceanic Trading eompany, a co-operative institution representing about 90 per cent of the manufacturing firms and merchants ol Finland, is about to open a branch ol 5. its business in Australia. An option has been obtained by the company oi a fleet of Finnish steamships and ar effort will be made by the company tc gain the Baltic trade with Australk previously held by Germany. The con cern hopes to obtain the trade wltt Australia in paper, timber, turpentlm and other goods that it had before th< war through German agents, and witl the elimination of German influence will carry the products of Finland t< Australia in a regular fleet of vessel! running on a monthly schedule. Och, Murder! "Both these samples smell lik( cheap goods to me." "Cheap! Those whiskies are fh< best on tne market, xneyre ootn ovei ten years old." "Then they're old enough to havi better scents." f L Something He Was Familiar With.
