The jury of twelve was adopted
because the prophets were twelve,
the apostles were twelve, there
were twelve jewish judges twelve
pillars Of the temple, twelve
patriarchs, twelve tribes of lsreal,
twelve stones in AarOn's breasts
plate twelve gates in j Jerusalem,
and twelve signs of the Zodiac.
When juries were first established
the Judge took the jurors around
with HIM in a cart until they all
agreed. If they didn't agree they
were fined and imprisoned. -EX.

Delinquent Subscriber and Editor
to Meet TO Settle an Account
Toledo, Ohio, July 23.-The
editor OF paper at Forest, Hardin
county, persistently dunned a
delinquent subscriber named An
drews who had annoyed him greatly
with promises to pay up a long
standing account. At length be
sent him very sharp note, and the
subscriber became angry.
The latter has announced that
he is saving up money enough TO
go to Forest on the Fourth of July
to whip the editor, and he has
suggested that the spectacle be
made part of the local celebration
of the day.
The editor promptly accepted
the challenge and has expressed
his eutire willingness to consent
to the arrangement. He proposed
that the ring be staked oft in the
main street of the town, and that
all of the visitors in Forest be per
mitted to witness the encounter
free of cost.
The editor says he is not afraid
of his subscriber, and declares
that, although it is some time since
he retired from the ring, he feels
equal to the task of getting away
with one delinquent subscriber.
Both men are noted for their cour'
age and nerve, aud the outcome
is awaited with much intrest.

taken in choosing the audience The
twenty who got tickets were bound TO
strictest secrecy. Despite all the precau-
tions, however, an inkling of what was
TO take place reached one or two men on
the outside. There was panic among the
twenty, and a few, fearing the police, de-
manded their money. Their comrades
AduenSu DIT bnSin, however, anu lneg re-

There was a fashionable dance in same
building, and precautions were taken.
Lookouts were posted near the hall to di-
rect the twenty and to give warning OF
any police interference. A single police
man stationed at the building looked in
nocent.
