THE MOST INTELLIGENT JURoR-LaW-
yers, in addressing jury, single out
one member Of it who to them pre-
sents the most intelligent appearance
and to him deliver their eloquent ap-
peals, confident that If they can impress
him his influence will be valuable IN
it's effect upon the other members. II
they make a mistake rarely do they
discover It. But according to the stem
ographer Of a certain part Of the su-
preme court, this happened few days
ago. All the testimony in a case had
been taken, the lawyers for both sides
had summed up and the judge had
charged the jury, when up rose the In
telligent juror whom both counsel had
singled out as the recipient Of their
impassioned address and asked Of the
court some information.
"I have been bothered good deal, "
said the juror, about two words the
lawyers use here all the time"
"Ah, what are those?" asked the
court, expecting to be called upon to
expound res inter alios acta or for
tlorari or some other dead ones.
"Why, plaintiff and defendant, !"
said the Juror. II don't know what
they mean"
He was enlightened and presumably,
in spite Of his intelligent appearance,
was not chosen to be foreman.-New

WHERE IRON Is SAcRED.-Among the
Baralongs, a great African people, iron
is a sacred object. They are expert
workers in metal, which they still
smelt from its native ore by the most
primitive methods ever devised by
man. This art was to them in former
days a source of wealth, influence and
power, and the legend is that when
people did not know the value OF the
stones found in their brooks q "wise
man" saw a vision. The spirit Of his
chief stood beside him and said, Gath
er stones and burn them to make
spears" The sage thought it was q
dream and that the chief was hungry
so he sacrificed an OK. But the vision
returned, and the chief looked sorrow
full. He stood a long time and at las,
said:
my son, why do you not obey your
father? Go to the river, gather stones
and make a hot fire. After that you
will see iron with your eyes,"
The sage was greatly frightened and
feared some calamity, but dared not
refuse. When he had made hot fire
iron came out of 1t, and then he knew
the chief had taken pity on his chill
dren. He told his son the secret before
he died, but he was a vain coxcomb
and wishing to show his own wisdom
made iron in the presence Of strangers
and so the secret of the art was lost to
his tribe, but they have always contin-
ued to regard iron as sacred above all
other metals.

"How's that?" asked the deaf man.
"Seventy-five cents" politely res

Thrusting his right hand down into
his trousers pocket, he drew forth q

"I said rs cents" remarked the clerk.
"Well, didn't I give it to you," In

HONEY HAD HIvEs.-"Mr. Depew,"

to the Minneapolis Journal, pays a

and one would never expect to see
him fail to rise to the occasion. 1t
was, therefore, q matter Of considera-
BILE surprise to me when at dinner
where the senator was a guest I OBJ
served that he allowed to pass several
excellent opportunities to compliment
a charming young lady Of the COM
pany.
Afterwards he commented upon the
omission to Mr.. Depew himself.
"'You observed the lady?' he asked.
YES I answered.
"'You noticed that she might be
extremely sensitive?' he went on.
Yes I replied, though, truth to
tell, I hadn't considered the lady's
disposition at all.
"'Well,' said Mr.. Depew. slowly, I
once told a sensitive girl that I
thought her as sweet as honey, and
the result was DISASTROUS

ought to have known better.

whisper. Next day the lady had

GASTON.
Gastonia Gazette, February II: A
few days ago we published figures Of
two Of Yorkville's r. F. D. routes,
showing that one had delivered in jan
uary 3,7S5 pieces of mail and the other
2,640 pieces, and we stated that these
figures made Gaston's deliveries look
like mere small change. At that time
we had been unable to get the report Of
Gastonia route No. 1. In January, Mr..
]. 8. Mullen, the carrier on this route,
delivered 4,S77 pieces Of mail, and we
are obliged to say that this record now
makes the Yorkville figures look like
small change. Mr.. Mullen's cancella-
tions for January lacked only few
dollars of being large enough to pay
his salary.......If the present plans Of
the Carolina and North Western rail-
way pan out, the narrow gauge will
be only a memory after Sunday. On
that day, Capt. c. M. Nolen informs
US, the narrow gauge cars and engines
will be taken off at Chester and Mon
day the broad gauge train will make
it's first through trip from Chester to
Lenoir. The passing Of the narrow
gauge will mark on epoch in the his
tory Of this road and have its effect
for good on many towns along the line.
Rev. David B. Gordon, Of the
United Presbyterian mission, Pun5ab,
India, delivered lecture In the Y. M.
C. A. hall last night on the life, man
ners, customs, and scenery Of India.
The lecture was full Of information
pertaining to the country and the peo-
pie and was especially welcome to those
who are interested in foreign missions
Mr.. Gordon is himself a missionary
and is in the United States on vaca-
ton, being located for the winter In
Atlanta. His lectures have been favor
ably received at many places No ad-
mission fee was charged, but collec-
ton was taken at the close to help. de-
fray expenses. Between and
o'clock Saturday morning, Mr.. s. B.
Sparrow, who lives in the South Point
neighborhood, discovered that his res
idence was on fire. Without much diff
ficulty he extinguished the blaze, or at
least he thought so. About daylight
he went to his barn to feed the stock
and while there noticed smoke issuing
from the roof of the house. All efforts
to save the dwelling were futile but the
furniture and household goods were all
saved. The house was made Of logs,
and weatherboarded. 1t is supposed
that mice or rats had carried matches
into the walls and that this was the
cause of the fire. The house was unin-
sured. No one was injured but Mr..
Sparrow had a rather narrow escape
while removing some furniture from
the second story.
