She was one of those enfants terrible,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer who, at
2 years old are pronounced Gust too cute
for anything" and at A. perfect imps"
At present she was somewhere between
the two, and went sauntering up and down
the car, making acquaintance with every
one who would by any means look at her,
despite the half proud half embarrassed
protests of a young and pretty auntie who
had her in charge.
Suddenly the car gave an extra vicious
jerk, and the small woman landed square
in the middle of a wide spread newspaper
opposite.
Slash, bang, squeal, and there was a
yawning hole in the middle of the fresh
sheet, with an astonished little face stick
ing through, and a most annoyed and in
dignant one confronting it on the other
side.
Elsie" demanded the pretty aunte in
panic, come here, dear-hoW could you
be so naughty?"
But the sight Of the "auntie's sweetly
blushing face had exercised the wrath on
that of the injured party, and though he
was bald enough and big enough to have
known a great deal better he gave a most
unbecoming iitte smirk across the car,
and then stopped to make things up with
the smaller of the two ladies.
"Never mind, dear" he began per-
suatively you are a very nice little girl
and I wish you'd come here and give me
a kiss" and he held out his pudgy hands
with an inviting gesture.
But the young lady stuck her own behind
her and backed.

gressive infant had seed" was never
made clear to the other passengers, for at
this most interesting point she was borne
screaming and wrthing from the car by
her now crimson and Infatuated relative,
while the general impression left behind
was so hilarious that the old gentleman
also found 1t more convenient to alight at
the next corner.

The Expense of BicycIfng.

The answer to the frequently asked ques-
ton, rs bicycling expensive?" must de-
pend largely upon the rider and his habits.
There is no way of giving a general an
swer to cover practically all cases, ex-
cept in this way, that bicycling is not
necessarily more expensive than other
similar forms of outdoor pleasure and rec
reation. The expense to a bicyclist out
side of the cost of a good wheel, and
the appropriate logs, if he must have them,
is insignificant so far as the necessities Of
the case are concerned; yet there are
some bicyclists who claim that they find
the wheel more expensive luxury than
a saddle horse, or a Communication ticket
or a summer resort railroad.
If a rider will persist in running into
distractions, if he has a habit of picking
up nails and lacks in his tires, or if his
fancies lead to extravagant show In BIZ
cycle paraphernaia, the cost of wheeling
may be run up to a pretty figure. The
Savannah riders who find wheeling ex-
pensive do so because their objective point
is usually some roadside resort, where
after a good ride they find themselves, in
their own opinion, in need of some re-
freshmen, add the money thus expended
rapidly counts up. But the wheel as a
steady thing is not an expensive luxury;
il Is an economy. 1t is economical in the
cost of its keeping which. with care. is
insignificant. 1t is economical in the ad-
vantages which the rider derives from it,
ia the pleasure. the exercise and the fresh
air which are obtained and which add
length of life.

A Case of Military Fever.

They were the best Of friends and rivals
but unknown 70 each other both were
very miserable. because, you see, neither
of them knew any Of the handsome young
soldier ladies that haunted the streets
and each was in deadly fear lest the other
should discover her and triumph in her
piuable condition, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
So it happened that all through the
war, like spring, they saw as little Of
each other as possible, but at last one day
in July two enthusiastic little notes were
exchanged and two beaming maidens
rushed galy into each others arms
But as they drew back and surveyed
each other a certain triumphant look died
from each face and slightly troubled ones

hats, two crossed guns, with a gilt HI

Trial by Jury.

The Anglo-American system of trial by
jury was warmly and eloquently defended
by Mr.. Joseph H. Choate of the New York
bar, in an address before the recent an
nual session of the American Bar Asso-
citation at Saratoga. The system may not
be perfect, but Mr.. Choate. who is a
lawyer of international reputation, holds
that is the best plan for the settlement
of disputed facts and rights that has yet
been devised by the ingenuity of man.
Compared with the French system of jus
tlce, as exemplified in the case of lola,
the jury system Is well calculated to
cause Americans and EngHshmen to thank
God for its safeguard of their liberties.
There are. however, a number of par
tjculars in which the jury system Is criti-
cized. Mr. Choate takes note of the more
important of these, and having sounded
them reaflirms that he as willing to pro
nounce the system the best extant. The
complaints he says, are generally greatly
exaggerated. Take, for instance. the
charge of possibility Of bribery and cor
ruption. Unprincipled men unquestiona-
bly, get on juries sometimes and in iso-
lated cases of individuals there may be
bribery and corruption; still there are ex-
ceedingy few well authenticated cases of
such crimes in the jury box. 'If You
can show me a few authentic cases of
such infamy," said the speaker, Il win
undertake to match them with an equal
number of similar crimes committed by
judges, who have been properly exposed
and punished"
There is complaint from time to time
that the rule Of unanimity results in mis-
trials, extended litigation, great expense
and a weakening OF the prestige Of the
machinery of the law. Statistics gathered
by Mr. Choate show that only about three
or at most four per cent Of all jury
trials end in a disagreement. and judging
from his own experience, he says, he ia
satisfied that the disagreement when it
does occur is quite as likely 70 be the fault
of the judge as of the jury. Failure Of
the judge to explain freely and fully the
proper legal bearings of the evidence he
regards as the most productive cause of
disagreements.
Another formidable charge against the
system Of common law trial by Jury is
that it has a great share in promoting the
laws delay. Mr.. Choate denies the charge
pointedly. There is nothing in the whole
realm Of litigation" he says. (which is
