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

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

"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

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

previously held by Germany. The con

Australia in paper, timber, turpentlm
and other goods that it had before th<
war through German agents, and witl
the elimination of German influence

Australia in a regular fleet of vessel!
running on a monthly schedule.
