templates putting the ignorant or cor

failure and liable to abuse among the
unIearned and not highly moral
blacks, and no less SO among
whites of the class that
the law implies are the only
proper jurynea. 1t is next to impossi-
for an able, educated, progressive >pan
such man as is best qualified to ar
rive at an intelligent conclusion-to get
on jury in criminal case without de-
ing some violence to his conscience and
the law; and the result is that the juries
are largely made up o. rogues and min
compoops.
Happily thinking people everywhere
are being aroused on the subject, and
slow as communities and nations are
to make changes in institutions, systems
and customs, especially in those inyolv-
ing the rights of the individual. the
United States will certainly abolish the
jury system as it now exists one OF
these days. Such paragraphs as the
following now and then appear in the
papers, and in time they will convince
all that while there may be danger in
abolishing the jury, the harm that can
come from doing away with it can net
possibly be equal to the harm and in
justice that are done every day by the
American jury. This is from the Ohio
Ldi0 Journal:
We arraign the jury system on these
charges: That it puts inexperienced and
incompetent men in the highest place
of the State: that it is productive of de-
lay, uncertainty and enormous expense;
that it encourages litigation; that it
prostitutes justice and obstructs the en-
forcement of law; that it is destroying
confidence in the courts and has brought
the whole judiciary into disrepute: that
it prevents the union of law and equity
into one system; that it is not in har-
mony with the civilizat ton Of the age or
government under which we live

a CoNsUL'S WOES.

Charles II. Davis recently resigned
the American Consulship at st. Paul
DeLoando, but not because he was an
offensive partisan and likely to be
removed. He was an industrious and
persistent applicant for the place, which
was worth $1,000 year aside from the
fees, amounting perhaps to $500 more.
Receiving the appointment, he sailed
for his post, taking his family along at
"a cost of $3.50. His wife was immt di
ately stricken with African fever and
he sold his watch and diamond pin and
sent her home Then African fever
attacked him, and an American man
of-war coming along took him out to
sea and saved his life. Returning to his
field of labor he was again taken down
with the fever, and to avoid death he
took ship for Liverpool, where he has
since lived. His travelling expenses
and doctors bills for the fourteen
months have aggregated over $1,000,
against which he can only refer 10 the
fact that he has been 4 United States
Consul. The career Of poor Davis, how
ever, does not seem 10 deter anybody
from seeking Consuiships. The appli-
cants greatly outnumber the demand;
1t is even expected that Davis resigna-
ton will be followed by a rush for the
Place at st. Paul DeLoando.

says, from year to year and the profits
ase increasing proportionately
Among the leading horse-breeders of
Wyoming is Mr.. 7. Weber. who settled
in Johnson County near Buffalo, several
years ago. He has large herd of ma
tive Colorado mares bred from Handle
tonian stations. For several wears, he
has kept with his herd high grade
Mambriho stallion; he has changed re-
Gently TO Norman. He has also an.
imported thoroughbred English coach
morse and an English draft stallion.
His extensive ranch is located on Sales
Creek, where he has obtained title to
two sections of fine land, on which he
cuts ZOO tons of hay yearly He has
two hundred acres of first-class meadow
land The grazing on his range is the
best, affording plenty of feed for his
sock winter and summer He has not
led more than five tons of hay in the
last two years. The ranch is we'll

is all under fence. Mr.. Webber mas
kept his herd of 500 horses well bred up,
and has sold every year all old stock,
keeping the best, so that he has now one
OF the very best herd of horses to be
found in the west.

Office Department in this city. She is the
daughter of the private secretary of eX-
President jackson. With her own dsush-
ter, one of the most attractive and accom-
plshed Young ladies in Washington, she is
living in a modest way, no doubt dreaming,
some days, of her early Lille aud its sur
roundngs. There is romance connected
with this la iy's life: When her father WAS
an occupany of the White House with
jackson she was iu her childhood. she
was kicking and screaming baby with rcd
hair. After Jackson returned 20 the her
mitage in Tennessee, his prva'e secretary
remained in Washington. The daughter
grew. In time she became beautiful
young lady, as pleasing In manners as she
was attractive in person. She was cou-
spicuous in society. Men prominent at that
time were her escorts. A brother of eN-
President Polk fell in love wi n her, sought
her hand in marriage and was accepted.
He was a handsome man and possessed oil
more Intelligence than his brother, who
served as chief executive. The young
iady's father opposed the proposed match
and urged his daughter to accept the at
tentiops of Texas congressman. rhe

the young lady loved Polk, in respect to
her fathers wishes, she consented to marry
him. Polk was told of the engagement.

her arm hurried her to his home. In u
short time her marriage with the Texas
congressman was announced.
He was an unattractive man. and was

Pointers for advertisers.

Don't expect an advertisement to bear
fruit in one nigh,
You can't eat enough In a week to last
YOU a year. and you cant advertise on that
plan, either.
The enterprising advertiser proves that
he understands how 10 buy, because in adj
vertising he knows how to sell.
People who advertise only once in three
months, forget that most folks cannot re-
member anything longer than about seven
days.
Il YOU can arouse curiosity by an sdver-
tiSemeni, it is great point gained. The
fair sex doesn't hold all the curiosity in the
world.
Quitting advertising in dull times is like
teatlng GU dam because the water is low.
Either plan will prevent good times from
ever coming.
Trying to do business without advertis-
log is like winking at a pref girl thr' ugh
ii PAIR of green goggles You may know
what you are doing, hut mob, dy else does.
Enterprising traders are beginning To
learn the value of advertising the year
round. The persistency of those who are
not intimidated by the cry of dull times
but k. ep their names ever before the pub
lie will surely place them on the right side
in the end.
