In some ancient manuscripts in France Oc-
ours the following interesting story, which
has no place in tie Bible itself, though it is
in the original preiiXed to the proverbs of
Solomon. 1t appears To have been n great
iayoritc in the middle ages; and was often
related from the pulpit. A king, in some do
nestle difference with his wife, had been told
by her that one only OF her three sons was II
true offspring, but which of them was so she
refused TO discover. This gave him much
uneasness, and his death soon afterwards APP
preaching, he called his children together and
declared. in the presence of witnesses, that
he left ring, which had very singular pro-
perties, to him that should be found to be his
lawful son, and that to him, too, should be-
long his kingdom. On his death dispute
arose about the ring between the youths
and it was ut length agreed to refer its de.
cison to The King of Jerusalem. He imme-
diately ordered that the dead body of his
father should be taken up and tied to tree
that each of the sons should shoot an arrow
at it, and that he who penetrated the deepest
should have the ring. The eldest shot first
and the arrow went Tar into the body; the
second shot also, and deeper than the other
The youngest son stood at u distance and
wept bitterly but the king said to him
young man, take your arrow and shoot
| as your brothers have done" He answered
FAR be it from me to commit so great crime
would not for the whole world disfigure the
body of my own father" The king said
"Without doubt you are his son, and the
Others are changelings to you, therefore,
adjudge the ring"

The following curious facts are mentioned
in recent lecture by Chief Justice Horton,
of Kansas, before the AtchisOn Institute:
Four hundred years ago, at least the pre-
sent jury system was adopted. An old tract
says the jury of twelve was adopted because
the prophets were twelve; the apostles num-
bered twelve, there were twelve Jewish
Judges, twelve pillars of the temple, twelve
patriarchs, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve
stones in Aaron's breast plate, twelve gates
of Jerusalem, twelve months of the year, and
twelve signs in the zodiac. In all times
the number twelve has been regarded as
an important number. In the early ages
the oath of twelve persons was necessary to
convict.
When iuries were first established, the
Judge took the Jurors about with him in a
cart until they agreed. lfthey didn't agree,
they were fined and imprisoned. William
Penn was once prosecuted in London for
street preaching. The jury was locked up
without meat, drink or fire to find n verdict
They declared Penn not guilty, and the judge
sentenced each of them to pay II fine. Juries
are not now compelled to agree,
An Ohio Judge was fatalist, and used to
determine perplexing cases by chance. An
Indiana Judge once had number of eases to
pass upon, and he gave decision turn about for
plulilln ullu VAIN
that they were the best decisions he ever
made, as every one ofthem was sustained by
the supreme court. General Bella NJ. Hughes
told an anecdote of David r. Atchison, who
was Senator from Missouri and VicePresi-
dent of the United States. He was district
Judge in Missouri before he was Senator,
and was holding term of court in a frontier
county. The lawyer for the plaintiff quoted
Blackstone. The opposing counsel, in reply
said that he was astonished that his learned
brother should quote from an English law
book, written by an English nobleman, in an
American court of justice-a book written by
man who had kissed the bloody hand of
George Ill At the close of his speech Judge
Atchson declared that he was surprised at
such proceeding in his court, He gave
Judgment for the defendant, and declared
that if the attorney for the plaintiff ever
again read in his hearing n book written by a
relocated Tory lie would fine him for con-
tempt.
