A DIVIDED JURY.-A man was on
trial in Lake county, recently, on a
charge of grand larceny. He was ac'
cused of stealing hog. An old rancher,
whose interest in the case was due to
the fact that he owned big drove OF
hogs, listened atteutively to the en-
panelling of the jury, and then left the
courtroom with an undisguised dis,
gust.
"What's the matter, Sam ?" inquired
an attorney.
"That jury's goin' to disagree" he
declared, emphatically.
"What makes you think so ?"
"Think? don't think nothing about
it. know it,"
"Well, then, how do you know it ?"
"Well, they've got six hog men that
raise hogs, and four men that l knows
has stole hogs on thatjury, an nobody
ever know'd a hog raiser and hog
thief as would agree on a hog case."

HE USED VIGOROUS LANGUAGE
During the Chilean war, Americans
were very badly treated, and Eight,
ing Bob" Evans did not like it. All
classes down there use tremendous
quantities of garlic, and the result is
unpleasant, for your nose is offended
constantly, even in the street. One
night boat was sent ashore from Cap
tain Evans's ship, and, believing it
safe, the sailors who had acted as oars,
men left it on the beach for few min
utes while they went to slake their
thirst. Upon their return they discov:
cred that a party of Chileans had
loaded it with stones. "FIghting Bob
was fighting mad when he heard of it
the next, day, and was asked what he
was going to do about it. "Do about
it," returned the sailor; "why, I'm
going to turn my men into travelling ar
senals, and if the thing ever happens
again, or if our flag is again insulted
I'll make hell smell of garlic !"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1895-12-06

MORE THAN HE ASKED For
"Good-morning, sir; / called to see If ]
could get your certificate for them
cornplasters you bought of my agent
the other day"
"Why, sir, I do not understand you
"Merely certificate, sir, fur benefits
derived from my corn-plasters."
"Oh-ah-yes. I understand, GER
tainly, certainly!" and the statesman
wrote:
"To whom it may concern This is
to certify that if 1 live long enough ]
shall be 1000 years old next July
For IT'S years, more or less, I have been
an invalid, unable to move except by q
lever. Day before yesterday l bought
a box of Bluffkin's corn-plasters. Since
then can run 90 miles an hour. Any
man who believes this and wishes fur
ther recommendations will gladly be
supplied with like information if this
corn-doctor lives to get out OF my
Office"
The man of corn-plasters took it in
silence, and departed.

THE OBSTACLES AS OPPORTUNITY.

Some people always lose heart when
they come to an obstacle. They turn
squarely around and say 30 well, that
puts an end to this scheme. 1t does
seem pity that I can't take hold of
anything without being balked!" The
trouble is that most persons do not un-
derstand the true nature of an obstacle.
They look upon it as something final,
immovable, insurmountable. They
seem to consider that it is something
intended by a frowning Providence to
put stop to the particular thing which
they are doing. Now this is something
quite contrary to the true purpose
and economy of obstacles. They are
not intended to discourage, but to
increase, energy.
Take stream of water, for example.
That stream understands the nature
and purpose of an obstacle. 1t is some
thing to pile up and amass and concen-
trate energy. 1t is something to climb
upon and dash over with ten times
augmented force. The same thing is
true of obstacles in in the human path
way; yet how many people are as wise
as the stream to understand it?
Instead of regarding the obstacle as
Encouragement and sign that we
are working in the wrong direction, we
ought to look upon it as providential
opportunity-an opportunity to test
and to augment strength of purpose :;
an opportunity to rise to the level OF
higher power; an opportunity to gath
er new resource and expand to wider
channels of usefulness.
How often has the obstacle attacked
and surmounted, broadened mans
outlook upon what it is possible for him
to do! How many great and good en-
terprises have been widened and deep
ened in scope and power by being for
the time obstructed and delayed !!
Wonderful is the relative power of the
obstacle-its power to open mems eyes
to the real possibilities of what they
have undertaken. Wonderful is the
inspiring power of the obstacle-its
power to expand vision and spur ener-
gy. Most wonderful of all is the dy-
manic and strengthening power of the
obstacle-its power to re-enforce the
strength which assails it and augment
the resources which are gathered
against it.
o, the foolishness of misiuterpreting
obstacles 1t is as if a bird should
complain against the pressure Of the
air which buoys it up. We rise only
by that which opposes. We strengthen
only by that which antagonizes. OPP
position is the life of endeavor. The
man who succeeds is the man who
makes obstacles the steps of his ladder.

WHY Two EARs.-It was saying
of wise man that we have one mouth
and two ears in order that we may
listen twice as much as we speak.
A teacher once quoted this remark
to her pupils, according to the Phila'
delphia Times, and not long afterward
to see how well her instructions were
remembered, she asked:
"Why is it that we have two ears
and only one mouth, Frances ?"
Frances had forgotten the philoso'
piers explanation but she thought
the question not very bard one.
Because" she said, "we should not
have room enough on our face for two
mouths, and we should look to crook
ed if we had only one ear"
"No, no." said the teacher, "that is
not the reason. You know, don't you
Rosy?"
ayes, MAN," answered Rosy. "So
that what we hear may 60 in at ore
ear and out the other"

lid open with my left hand to guard
against its locking and Immediately
sitting us; but it had more than an
inch of outer rim, which completely
hid my fingers.
at was not moment too soon. We
were scarcely hidden when heard the
great claws scratching along the floor,
and the hungry shifting of the jaguar
showed me that he was in search of
food. He came straight 10 the chest
and paused moment, as if he feared Il
trap. Then he put his head close to
the small opening, SO that l could feel
his hot breath. He shifted while,
and then tried TO raise the lid with his
paw.
"How l trembled! But, thank God,
the great paw would not go inlo the
narrow crevice, and l held the cover
fast by clinging to the inner part OF the
lock with all the strength of despera-
ton. All he could do was to stretch
out his tongue and lick my fingers until
they bled as ifthey had been scratched
by saw. And then, as he tasted
blood, and heard Lolita cry (for my
poor darling was just as frightened a.
l was), his eagerness increased, and he
began to make piercing yells, which
sent icy chills through me.
81 wonder why the fright did not
kill me but the touch Of Lolita's little
arm round my neck seemed to keep up
my courage.
Still, the worst was yet to come.
When the jaguar found that he could
not reach me from below, he sprang
upon the chest. His huge weight
crushed my fingers between the two
parts of the lock. Then l thought all
was over, and uttered a shrek that
rang through the whole house.
But my cries were answered by a
sound which made my heart throb
with joy-anSwered by the barking of
our bloodhound. The jagnar heard it,
too, for he sprang down, and stood a
moment listening, then ran to the door
as /. to fee
again came the sound Of the dogs
bark-this time nearer-and at the
same time the voices Of the men call
ing TO each other. Contrary to eXpec-
latlun, they were already coming back.
Meanwhile the jaguar seemed to be
hewldered, and ran wildly to and fro.
Suddenly loud cry came from one Of
the windows, and then two shots and
ID fearful howl. Then my husbands
voice auXiously called:
"'Cachita, where are you?'
81 could jus, get out of the chest, drag
myself to the door, and let my husband
in. Then swooned away. They told
me aflerward that our blood hound
found the jaguar's trail leading straight
back to the house, and they all hurried
home, fearing harm would come to me.
My husband and Jose came on
ahead, and shot the jaguar through the
window.
~ could not move joint of that
hand for many weeks afterward. The
Indians gave me medicine to heal it,
and they say that after awhile I can
use it again. did not need this inju-
ry 10 make me remember that day. If
l were to live a 1000 years, I could
not forget the terrible moments | spent

FULLY QUALIFIED.--Harper's Mag
azine published, more than 25 years
ago, an amusing story of the ineffectu'
al efforts made by young man to
escape from serving on a jury:
When I was young man, spent
several years at the South, residing
for a while at Port Hudson, on the
Mississippi river A great deal of liti'
CATION was going on there, and it was
not always easy to obtain jurymen'
One day I was summoned to act in
that capacity, and repaired to the
court to get excused.
On my name being called, inform
ed the Judge that l was not freehold
er, and therefore not qualified to
serve.
"Where do you reside?" inquired
the judge.
81 am stopping for the time being at
Port Hudson"
"You board at the hotel, 1 pre-
sume?"
sI take my meals there; but have
rooms in another part of the town"
$50 you keep bachelors hall ?"
eyes, sir"
Chow long have you lived in that
manner?"
"About six months"
81 think you are qualified, gravely
remarked the Judge. ~ have never
known a man to keep bachelors hall
for the length of time you have with
out having dirt enough in his room to
