Modern Jurors.

The recent action of Judge
Sykes in dlscharging jury that
had returned q verdict Of not gull
|ty, saying it was useless to try
| to enforce the law with such ju-
ries, recalls the fact that Judge
Powell did the same thing in a
blind tiger case in Kinds county a
year ago, where the verdict was
plainly contrary to the evidence.
Judge Powell took advantage Of
the occasion to deliver scathing
lecture to the jury. Judge An
|derson Of Vicksburg, not long
since, had a similar experience
with his grand jury and discharg-
ed several Of the jurors for refus-
ing to find indictments in plain
cases. Many like complaints Of
lawyers and Judges have been fled
lin various parts of the State.
These cases are causing men Of
| the law to ask themselves serious
EIy whether the time honored jury
system is not rapidly becoming d
failure, and if it is really becom-
| ing impossible to get twelve
good men ard true, who will rem
Ider verdicts in accordance with
/ the law and the facts, as our Sax

Prof. Edgar Green was the pre-
siding genius of the day.
The BrookhaVen String Band
furnished excellent numbers,
while the CaseyYille Quartette re-
called their large audience with
songs that were well rendered and
which reflected credit on the
young men, who were members
Of the quartette.
Mr.. S. p. Oliver, our efficient
Circuit Clerk, made an admira-
BILE welcome address in which he
stated that the BrookhaVen Camp
had grown from a small member

Music on the piano was given

Ine enarwoman came on the day
appointed and she found her shoes, as
had been promised. The ashman had
ness. Their owner carefully deposited
them in safer place this time, wrap
ped up in a newspaper, and went to
work with renewed vigor. But when
she came to leave the shoes were
again missing. She was astonished.
Them shoes are hoodooed, surev'
she told the cook.
They formed joint searching par.
ty, but no trace of the shoes could be
found. They had vanished as com
pletely as before. She was afraid to
annoy the mistress of the house again
about the matter, until every clew
was exhausted-the patience of the
household, also. Then she appealed
the case.
where did you put them this time,
Matilda?" was the first question.

Good gracious! exclaimed the

Hold up, Matilda. Don't get excit-
ed about it. We wrap things up-odds
and ends, you know-and leave them
on the tubs for the iceman. He prob
ably carried the package away with
out looking to see what it was. But
he'll bring them back. Oh, yes. He's
honest. Besides. he can't wear your
shoes, you know. I'll leave a note for

Sharp.Shootinq Fish.

Certain fish have been termed
sporting" because they shoot their
prey with great precision. The jacu-
lar fish of Java is of this sporting
tribe.
Several of these fish, in the posses
sion of Javanese chief, were placed
in a small circular pond, from the
centre OF which rose pole upward of
two feet in height, Beetles were put
on top of the pole ON sharp-pointed
pieces of wood The fish then came
out of their holes and swan around
the pond. One of them came to the
surface Of the water and rested there.
After fixing his eyes steadily on a
beetle, it discharged small quantity
of water from its mouth with such
force and precision as to knock the
beetle off the twig into the water. In
an instant the beetle had been swal-
lowed.
After this another fish came up and
performed similar feat, and so the
sport continued until they had caught
all of the beetles. If a fish failed to
bring down its prey the first shot, 1t
swan around the pool till it came op-
posite the quarry and fired again. In
one instance a fish returned three
times to the attack before it secured
it's prey. but usually the fish were very
expert marksmen, bringing down the
beetle at the first shot
The fish frequent the banks of the
rivers in search of food. When It
spies fly on the plants that grow
in shallow water, 1t swims to a dis
lance of five or six feet from it and
then with surprising dexterity elects
from it's tubular mouth a single drop
of water.-EXchange.

INDIAN SUGAR MAKING.
Sweetening Extracted from Birch, Ash,
and Maple

Sweetening Extracted from Birch, Ash
and Maple.
One of the pleasant chapters in Or.
Eastman's Indian Boyhood" deals
with AN Indian Sugar Camp" While
maple sugar was most commonly
made, sugar was also secured from the
birch, ash and box-elder. The birch
and ash sugars were dark colored and
somewhat bitter, and had medicinal
properties. The box-elder yielded a
beautiful white sugar, whose only
fault was that there was never enough
OF it.
The maple trees were tapped, a
hardwood chip was driven into the
incision to serve as a spout, and a
birch-bark basin was set to catch the
sap. The sweet juice was boiled down
in kettles hung over the open fire. The
sugar was run in molds Of birchbark,
hollow canes and reeds, and the bills
of ducks and geese, into cakes of vari-
Gus forms and Sizes Some Of 1t was
pulverized and packed in rawhide
eases.-Cooking Club.

ONLY A PAIR OF SHOES

1t was only pair of shoes. And
the pair possessed by the charwoman,
too, and of money value something
like $19S. But 1t is surprising how
much trouble single pair of humble
bogans can cause a respectable family.
BY the side of it money value seems
ridiculous.
The charwoman arrived early Mon
day morning wearing the shoes and
carrying a pair Of down at the heel
slippers in paper parcel. The first
thing she did was to remove her preci-
GUS shoes and put on the slippers.
After a hard days work up and down
stairs she would have put her shoes
on to go home only the shoes could
nowhere be found. The cook and the
maid and the children searched high
and low, but in vain. The precious
shoes, all the more precious now that
1t was raining and showing and the
and frosty mud, had completely van
ished.
The mistress OF the house came
home too late to hear the tragedy Of
the shoes until next morning. Mean
time the charwoman, who had gone
home in a rage, with her feet done up
in slippers and rags, reappeared upon
the scene and was waiting for the
shoes or satisfaction.
Where did you put them?" inquired
the mistress.
'Shure, ma 'am, an l put 'em in the
corner of the furnace room, on a pile
of papers. An when | looked at night
they was gone, an the papers wit
EN-"
1t was the ashman," decided the
mistress at once. THE things piled up
in that corner go to the ashman"
They was me Sunday shoes,
am" groaned the poor woman.
Never mind" said the mistress,
cheerfully, he'll bring them back.
I'll leave a note for him there, he will
get it in the morning, the next morn
ing he will bring your shoes"
Very well, ma'am, then IN come
after 'em on Thursday"
Eyes, come Thursday. I've got
some work for you on that day, any
now. And don't be alarLea-yo

Thank you, ma'am, so as can
