BALE OF HAY
Jurors Order Puzzled
the BaiIiff.
It Was Wanted For a Stubborn
Member.

Mr.. Jacob Sulzbach, of Doylestown
well known to many Akron people,
has been gaining reputation as a
juror in Wayne county. : The Doyles-
town Journal says:
Jacob Sulzbach returned Friday
from Wooster, where he has served
six weeks on the petit jury which
was excused on that day. A Wooster
attorney in speaking of him as a
juror told the writer that he was re-
garded as one Of the best men on the
jury, and related the following Incl
dent: The jury had listened for ten
days to a damage case and when they
retired for their deliberations were
widely apart ON the amount to be
granted. BY evening of the first day
eleven of the jurors had agreed on IL
sum, but the twelfth man would
neither give nor take Il cent. The
jury was accordingly locked in for
the night and argued the case until
morning. About seven o'clock the
gong sounded and the court bailiff
answered the summons and inquired
what was wanted. "Send up eleven
breakfasts and a bale Of hay" said
Sulzbach. Wonderlngly, the bailifI
asked what was wanted with the bale
of hay. "That," roared Sulzbach, "is
for our jackass. We have one on this
jury and we want to give him a feed.

Old Antiochus, king of Syria, was brand

mingled with the lowest people in their
amusements, sullying the splendor and

and actions unworthy of his birth and

during the consulate Of Bonaparte and the
rein Of Napoleon. After feverish in

Ine Tu1leries were far from gay under

some preliminary dancing on NJ de
Salvandy's famous volcano, the pastime
made it's appearance again in the kings
household in 1880. @,'
A Verltable revolution took place in
dancing at this period. The middle classes
developed a passion for balls, which had
hitherto been confined almost exclusively
to the aristocracy, save for the rustic
festivals Of country districts. Unable
however, to enjoy the amusement in their
own small rooms, dancers soon focked
to public saloons and waltzed at Rane-
leigh. at Beaujou, at Sceaux and at
Tlvol1. These balls, which became famous
for their splendor and the distinction of
rne society frequenting mem, were 1m1,
tated on humber scale by the students
and the demi monde, who danced the can

Another overwhelming revolution took
place in 1914 with the introduction of the
Polka. which invaded saloons, drawing
rooms. shops and even the streets. The
waltz and galop were forsaken, and the
polka mania set in. Cellarius and La
