COAL AND WOOD

BY ELEvATING THE QUALITY
Of our coal we lower the price in economy OF
consumption. Consumers will find that 1t is
cheaper to use our high grade Lee Coal that
has been screened and freed from slate and
stone, than that Of an inferior grade. 1t gives
more heat, less ashes and burns longer than
any other COAL and our prices are as low as
any. Coal and Wood under cover.

A large delegation from Charleston, S. c.
appeared yesterday before the House COM
mittee on military affairs in behalf of the
project to establish a branch soldiers home

OF South Carolina was read. in which he
taken by Gen. Albert b. Shaw, commander
iri-chief Of the G. A. R., was shown In a
letter in which he said: Il do not know of
a proposal that has aroused my sympathies
more than this for many year. and I
trust yolls will strongly voice the wishes Of
the comshander-in-chief in its favor. 1t
would be a browning monument of concord
and reconciliation amid scenes Of other days
and other times"
Gen. Goblin of Pennsylvania, the ex-com-
mander-in-chief Of the GAR, was also
heard from in approval OF the plan. The
members Of the delegation set forth the
advantages Of the location in healthfulness
and climate, as we'll as its historic associa-
tions
The committee also heard Representative
Shafroth Of Colorado on the bill establishing
a branch soldiers home near Denver. The
committee will consider the measures here
after.

soldiers home at Johnson City. Tenn. and
appropriating $3.50 600 for that purpose was

SELECTING A JURY.
A Queer Faculty That Lawyers SOme-
times Seem to Possess.

Queer Faculty That Lawyers sOmeS
times Seem to Possess.
From tho New Orleans Times Democrat.
Selecting jury seems to be matter OF
intuition with some lawyers" said promi-
nent member of the local bar. land those
who are most successful at 1t are often
unable to give any reasons. That man
will be against us, that man will be for
u.s. they say, and make their challenges
accordingly; but if you ask for the why's
and wherefores they are nonplussed. 1t Is
a most valuable faculty in an attorney.
and, boiled down, is of course nothing more
nor less than unconscious deduction from
acute observation. One Of the cleverest
men in that ..ne I ever knew in my life
was the old lawyer in whose office studied.
The way the colonel as We called him.
could spot case of potential hostility in
selecting a jury was next door to miracu-
louS. 1 remember on one occasion he was
representing railroad company in a dam
age suit brought by man who claimed to
have received severe spinal injuries in an
accident. His hurts were not visible to the
eye. but according to his story he was in
continual agony. One of the jurymen was
a solemn-loOking chap who was in the
grocery business. While the colonel was
questioning him he noticed little chain
hanging out of his upper vest pocket.
What's attached to that chain? he asked
abruptly. "A pocket thermometer replied
the juryman Without assigning any def
mite reason the colonel tried desperately to
get the man off, but the Judge passed him.
1.-The jury gave a stiff verdict for the
plaintiff. and 1t developed that the grocer
had been his chief advocate. knew he
would oppose US as soon as 1 heard about
that thermometer said the colonel after
ward, at the office. ANY grocer who car
ries pocket thermometer is necessarily
hypochrondriac. and, our defense was
based on the theory that the plaintiffs in.
juries were entirely imaginary, the argu-
ment naturally gave this chap offense He
had probably heard that sort of talk ap-
piled to himself Did you figure that out
on the spot? l asked. No. he said, kat
felt 1t in my bones"
