A MODEL MODERN JURY.

Three weeks they sought in patience twelve jury
Well qualified by ignorance and fertile lack Of
brain;
Three weeks they challenged right and left nor
found the men they sought,
Devoid of mind devoid of sense. and innocent OF
thought.
They sought the perfect jury in which none could
detect
The least activity of mind or trace of intellect;
And over the empty jury-box this legend did ap-
here.'
The first man called was asked his age; he paused
as if in doubt.
.Be quick. speak up!" the lawyer said. ''before
the centurys out.
How old are you? Be quick, say!" II think"
the man replied
'.Ah that's enough" the Judge broke in. you are
disqual.6ed.''
They called the next man to the stand; he came
up nothing loath.
They asked him if he understood the nature of an
oath.
IL hardly know" the man replied; ''but yet 'tis
my idea"
"Ideas deas!' the lawyer sneered "are all boy
cotted here!'
The next was turned away because they thought
they spied a trace
OF half concealed intelligence depicted in his
face.
So they rejected every one, refused both great
and small
Some vestge of mentality disqualified them all.
An idiot asylum superintendent then arose.
And said: "A plan, your honor. venture to pro-
pOse
II you'll come home with me tonight think you
will succeed,
And find among my idiots the very men you need
Judge.

Long Sentences.

The ideal brand of justice that wrongs
no man" is much unused in the present day.
The simOn-pure article of Justice 'as she
is dOled" would lead one to believe that it is
rather expensive, hence not always attain
able where cash or stamps do not accompany
the order.
The writer. being a prisoner and prob
ably feeling sore" as people say, does not
expect to be accepted as good authority on
the subject. nor does he claim to be originat-
ing new idea when he says that practical
Justice is being sadly underwOrked in the
present day.
Before proceeding further it may be well
to state that the writer instead of feeling
''sOre' is rather well pleased with the man
ner i'm which he has been treated by Miss
Justice, albeit he received every day of i'm
prlsOnKent the law governing the case
would allow. Personally we have no griev-
ance whatever.
But step with me into the court room of
any large city. and see how criminal cases
are conducted. Pay particular attention to
the different sentences imposed and then
draw your own conclusions.
The judge is i'm good hum0r this morn
ing. Everything goes we'll with him in his
own individual world and he feels kindly
toward his feIlowmen generally. A pris-
Oner who has been found guilty of larceny
is brought before him to receive sentence.
The judge admOnislleS the prisoner in a
kindly spirit, speaks to him as man to man.
and then imposes reasonably light sen
tence within the limits of the law.
Let month go by and step into the court
room again. The same judge presdes. but.
ala> he has the blues this morning. He
attended a banquet the previous evening
and his rebelliOus stomach is now making
him pay the penalty. Or. perhaps. he is
dyspeptic and the lack of material satisfac
tiOn at the breakfast table befuddles him
generally and knocks his judgmentary or.
gans from off their central pivot. A pris
Oner is brought i'm to receive sentence for
the crime of larceny. d res the prisoner
receive any gentle adinOniton? Hardly;
he is tOld-in not the most delicate Ian
guage or t0ne-that he is All unmitigated
scoundrel who ought to receive forty years

The Misery of Happiness.

What is a pessimist. my son? Well. if the
spring opened unusually early. and there
was an increase of about 25 per cent in the
acreage Of cereals sown, and the weather
was so near perfection all summer that no.
body cared to go to California. and the har-
vest showed yield that fairly lifted the
roof off the barn and made the sides of the
elevator bulge and prices have gone down
10 and wages increased Is per cent. the ma
tional debt paid. taxes reduced. Saturday
made legal holiday and ten hours pay for
eight hours work established by cOnSttu-
tiOnal amendment, all the alms houses
closed for lack of patronage and the prisons
sold to the hotel trust-if in the midst of all
this dawning millennium you come across
man sitting on fire plug on windy cor
ner. pour ng dust on lis head and weeping
because all this prosperity is apt to develop
luxurior, and wasteful habits among the
masses-he's a pessimiSt. And what is
your duty as Christian man to such a SOr-
rOwful brother?" Kill him, my son; kill
him. Don't use violence; just tie him to a
man who is having good time. and he
won't last two hOurs.-Burdette, in Brook

Yes" said Oklahoma Bill. "fer while
lowed it was all up with us. The brOn-
chos was runnin' so fast that they almost
spun the wheels often the blackboard; but
the wolves gained on us with every jump.
Then. as last desperate resort jest as the
ravenin' animals was surrOundin' us. l took
the stranger oy the neck an p tched him
out. jest as he lit. heered him holler:
I'm a real estate AGENT"
Eager Listener: OF course they tore
him to pieces before your eyes?
Oklahoma Bill: Nope! They all shook
hands with him called h n Brother" an
asked him how business was up in Kansas.

A Slide on an Ice Boat.


Did you ever take ride on all ice boat?
There is something rather sensational about
the pleasure, especially when you collide with
a bridge pier guard as the stationary object
apparently slides up to you aud gives you
what might be termed a striking reception.
Just imagine five or six of us neatly nestled
on the cross beams of creased lightning
ice boat, with the sail set in such way as
to render it impossible for any of us to
switch us off. ard the wind blowing at the
rate of. we'll 1 should say 200 miles an hour.
and that reckless, restless boat breaking
her neck to keep pace with it. Just think
of it. boys, and try to picture in your med
tatve minds the slippery feelings of such
crew as that wild Irish boat slipped along
so fast that the trees on the bank conn
menced to chase each other up the river. I
don't know just how l felt. but it seems to
me that my head turned into a base ball for
the time being and all / can remember is
that imagined that ClarkSOn of the BOs-
toms had just twirIed that head of mine
over the plate. and just as Buck Ewing Of
the Giants was going to suiaSh me for
home run, we came in contact with the
bridge pier guard, and didn't stop to see
whether Buck scored or not
1t was a terrible smash up. and l can
only tell you what the neighbOrs told ME
about it. for | didn't know myself from
tub of soap grease for six weeks after the
