INDEPENDENT
 BABY CONTEST.

Here is the proposition and the rules governing the contest:
 There is a handsome $25.OO solid gold locket with diamond setting and solid gold chain, on display at the Palace Jewelry store, to be given away Decem- Der 24th, 1904, to the baby boy or girl under two years, of age, who wins the highest number of votes as the prettiest and sweet est baby. Now the baby that is not pretty is surely sweet, and if the wee tot be a little cross at times, beauty must offset this badness. Fond parents at least are expected to think their ba- bies are both sweet and beauti- full, and so they do. But to set tie once for all the claims of the under two, and put at rest this rivalry of mothers and fathers, the Independent has inaugurated contest that is to be determined by that cherished right, popular ballot, and in accordance with the following rules:
 BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
 First-No baby that has reach ed the age of two years Nov. l., 1904, is eligible to this contest, nor shall any employe or party connected with this paper be eli gible to vote.
 Second-Every issue of the Daily and Weekly Independent from November 1 to December 24, will contain ballot entitling the holder to one vote in this contest. For every dollars worth of job, work, advertising and

HANDSOME CHESSMEN
OF HAWAIIAN WOODS

Clarence NJ. White, Chief Clerk OF
the Public Works Department, has re-
ceived from Ralph Turner to order a
handsome set of chessmen turned in
Hawaiian woods. The set is intended
by Mr.. White as q, gift to his father,
Charles M. White, a resident Of Po-
catello, Idaho. It is as pretty a set
of chessmen as could be imagined, the
white pieces being of tamarind wood
and the black of kauwiIa wood. They
require no staining, the tamariud be-
ing a beautiful cream color and the
kauwila a deep and soft brown. Each
will take brilliant polish. The pieces
will be weighted and cushioned at the
base. Otherwise the work came per-
feet from Mr.. Turner's lathe and saw,
excepting the knight-heads which will
be hand-carved by F. Otremba, an
other wood artist.
Mr.. White believes SHAT similar chess
sets made of Hawaiian woods in the
natural colors would sell readily in
San Francisco at SIS the set, as an
ordinary set of stained wood costs Sc
here.

A FAIR EXCHANGE.

Large sums of money are no
doubt realized from simple spec
ulation. but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and
honest business-where the goods
furnished are worth the price
they bring. Certain famous bust
ness men have accumulated their
millions wholly in this way.
Prompt and faithful in every
contract Or engagement they en-
JOY the confidence of the public
and command a class of trade
that is refused to unstable or
tricky competitors. In the long
run it does not pay to cheat or
deceive others. A humbug may
be advertised with noise like
the blowing of thousand trum-
pets, but it is soon detected and
exposed. The manufacturers of

ent principles. Before offering

then only, did its name appear

A sHREWD OLD LADY.
How She Got Her Will Drafted and
Fooled Her Lawyer.

ooAGu IlCI al eTs
A certain lawyer, famed for high
charges, had incurred the enmity of
an old lady on account of the same.
Wishing To get ever with him. she con-
suited him about drafting her will. AS
she was a very wealthy old lady, with
out near relatives, she had many chart
table associations to benefit, and the
accurate draft Of the will required
much patience, skill and time. Among
the provisions she made q generous
bequest to this lawyer and nominated
him executor. After the execution of
the will she called for her bill, where
upon the lawyer, with the vision OF
ample fees in the prospective settle
ment of the estate and the memory of
the generous bequest, told the old lady
that under the circumstances he should
charge nothing, but finally. to satisfy
her business scruples. made out a re-
ceipt in full to date for 81, whereas the
smallest sum he could have properly
charged would have been 500.
The old lady marched home with her
will, set herself to work, copied 1t out
carefully word for word. leaving out
the bequest to the lawyer and nominat-
ing Il new executor.
In the course of time she died. and
the disgust of the lawyer at the CON
tents of the Will was so great that he
inadvertently let out the secret, to the
huge delight of his brother lawyers

The Sacred Twelve.

The ''%pntrinrchal and apostolical
number Of twelve as the proper and
only admissible number for a jury try
ing cases according to the common law
has come down to us from remote an
tiqutty, Yet this number was not al
ways universal. In 1869 a Cornish Gus
tom to have juries of six was declared
to be bad. but evidence was given that
such juries had been widely used in
the county, and by Il special statute of
Henry Will jurics of six We're allowed
In Wales. But the jury of the grand
ass1ze consisted of sixteen men, which
still finds a parallel in the jury of pre-
sentiments Of the Liberty of the Savoy.
The modern grand jury. the %coroner's
jury and the jury at lunacy and eccle-
siastical #inquisitions number anything
between twelve and twenty-three.
whereof twelve at least must agree on
