congress. "Oh," replied the read
ers, "they are playing the dickens
over there; they passed law add
ing two months to a year, and the
worst part of it is, they made them

jurymen knowing the 9Th of No.
vember to be. a legal holiday might
not appear until the 7th, which
would greatly embarrass matters.
