Jury Disagreed.

"Some years ago, while I was

called to Hanford to defend a pet.
ty offender in a Justices court.
The defendant had demanded a
jury trial, and we put in half a
day trying to get jury, only to
find at the end Of that time that
we had one lone juror in the jury
box.
"Well, I'm willing to try the
case with one juror said the at

Sand we proceeded with the
trial. The arguments were howl
ingly funny, for the reason that
the attorney for the prosecution
persisted in addressing the lone
juror as gentlemen of the jury
and I succeeded in swelling the
jury with a feeling of pride and
satisfaction by some timely COM
ment on the self-evident honesty,
intelligence and integrity of the
body. I really thought that [ had

constable led him out to the jury

The only possible standard, that
is a standard, is~the market quota
ton, and that varies continually.
And as long as our specie is con-
sidered of intrinsic value, so long
will there be periodical panics in
the money markets. But once let
it be understood that the coin is
merely for the purpose of facilitat-
ing commerce, and the fuctua-
tons in value of gold and silver
will not alter it's purchasing power,
and there will be no more panics.
Of course all coinage must be in
the hands of the government, and
the nation must be responsible for
all coins and currency issued by
it's government.
One thing that constitutes value
in money is its acceptance by the
government in payment of duties
and taxes. The metal does not
matter. A postage stamp has no
intrinsic value, but it is accepted
by many in payment of small
amounts, because the government
promises to carry letter to it's
destination, if it is decorated with
that stamp. Here is case where
the guarantee is neither gold nor
silver, but transportation.
To sum up, if all moneys were
redeemable by the government, in
any commodity desired, at the
current market prices, it would be
just as desirable as if it were re-
deemable in gold or silver.

government that sets the value on
our specie, not the Intrinsic value
of the metal of which it is made.
So, if money were made of iron or
brass, with the government stamp
on it, it would be equally valuable
for use in commerce. l do not
say that there need not be a guar
antee behind it, but do say that
the guarantee need not be in the
shape of a deposit of gold in the
treasury.
The wealth of this country is
not confined to the treasury vaults
and the minis. If that were the
case this would be poor country.
But the wealth of any country
consists principally of it's acres of
land, it's forests, it's mines, it's
streams and, most of all, it's hard
working men and women. Ii
there were not cent in the treas
ury, this would still be a wealthy
nation, and could borrow unlim-
tied capital, if necessary, on the
security of the government notes
or bonds.
Now, our specie and currency
should be simply a government
bond. That is, a coin having the
nations stamp on it for one dol
lar would be a promise on the
part of the government to give the
bearer one dollars worth of any
commodity. There is disadvan-
tage in having a gold standard in
that gold fuctuates in value the
same as any other material. If
gold ever became as plentiful as
silver the whole monetary system
would be upset.
The idea that there must be
gold behind the issue of currency
is an illusion. Gold is the least
useful of all metals. Why. not
guarantee our currency by depos-
it's Of wheat or potatoes or onions?
These last should be strong enough.
You see your silver dollar is not
worth a dollar, nor is your fve-
dollar gold piece worth five dol.
lars. If you were to take silver
dollar and dollars worth of sill
YER, which would buy the most
bread? Neither the one nor the
other. Intrinsically one is worth
twice as much as the other, but
the government stamp on the coin
raises it's value. For five silver
dollars, worth about two dollars
and half, you can receive one
five-dollar gold piece worth about
four dollars and seventy-five cents.
When the government COINS a
million dollars in dimes, it makes
profit of half million. Why
not make them of iron or nickle
and make a large profit? Possibly
the reason is that silver is not 80
easily counterfeited.
The value of all money is rela-
tive anyway. It is largely de-
pendent on the supply and
demand. Today eighty cents may
buy a bushel of wheat. Tomor-
row it may require dollar for the
same purchase. The value OF
money has decreased as the price
of wheat has increased. (Just the
same, by the way, 1 would like to
be on the bull side of that market. }

4 haven't seen any recently, l

for our legal tender, and my house

the elusive humor of the country.
There is little gained in talking
about tainted money, if there is
such thing. [ agree with Presi-
dent Roosevelt-wouldn't he be
delighted if he knew that?-when
he denounces the man with the

Money is one of the greatest
Jabor-saving devices ever invented.
It is as old as the hills, but it's
usefulness is not impaired by age.
Incountries where THERE'S scarcity
>of money, the old original system
>of barter prevails, and man pro-
cures his necessities by giving in
exchange the products of his own
industry. Thus, in Zululand, ten
or twenty COWS are equal in value
to one wife, and one manageable
daughter is an asset equal to ten
eor twenty COWS, according to the
attractiveness of said daughter.
In civilized countries money takes
the place of cattle.
Socialists define money as q
emedium Of exchange, and hold
that this is the only object of it's
existence. But this is denied by
experts, who claim that money
must have it's intrinsic value, and
that paper money, or currency, is
only good because it is guaranteed
by deposit of gold or silver in the
treasury, equal to the face value of
currency. This latter contention
seems at first to be the correct
xone, but let us look further.
Gold and silver coins are minted
by the government, and issued as
legal tender. A silver dollar con-
&ains only about fifty cents worth
of silver, to speak roughly. All
silver money is worth, iatrin-
sically, about fifty per cont of it's face
value. The gold coin also shows
~ discrepancy, altho not so great
:, rs that in the silver. Why then
are these coins accepted at their
face value in payment for mer-

Deity-Divtuaty.

Deity signifies the person; Dr.
vinity, the essence of nature or
nature of God. Deity regards God
as an agent; divinity is an attri-
butte of God. When we speak of
the deities of the Grecian mythol-
ogy, we mean the persons of their
gods. The divinity of Christ sig
nifies the divine nature of Christ.
We speak of the wisdom, power,
and goodness of the Deity; not of
the divinity.

The form of thing is what re-
suits from the arrangement of the
parts Of it's substance, and includes
not only it's exterior surface, but
also it's internal solidity. Shape
refers to the entire surface of the
form; not merely it's outline, but
it's whole superfcies. The form
includes length, breadth, and
thickness. The shape is merely
what we can see of the outside.
A marble has the form of a sphere,
i. e., the qualities of rotundity and
solidity. It has the shape of
sphere, because it presents a
spherical surface to the eye or
touch.

Those who are out of danger are
in safety: those who are beyond the
reach of danger are in security.
Safety regards the present mo-
ment with respect to the past;
security regards the future as we'll
as the present. Security implies
the absence of all apprehension;
safety merely imports the absence
of danger. Those who are in
vessel during storm at sea are
not in safety during the storm,
nor are they in security from the

Those who have enough are
satisfied; those who have more
than enough are satiated. They
who do not require more are satis-
fed; they who feel that they have
had too much are satiated. What
nature requires is to be satisfied;
gluttons satiate themselves. TO
satisfy brings pleasure; to satiate
causes disgust. Injudicious moth
ers frequently allow their children
to satiate themselves. Satisfac-
ton is necessary to preserve
healthy appetite; safety destroys
health.

FULL OF WHEAT, But NO CARS
COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE RAIL
ROADs-FARMERS WORK FREE
TO GET "EMPTlEs."

ST. Paul, Nov. 28.-Complaints are
constantly being received that the
country is full of wheat which the
railroads are neglecting to move. The
suspicion is strong among the farmers
that the failure to move the crops is
due to policy rather than to physical
conditions.
Anamoose, N. d., sends in the most
significant report. Farmers there are
giving their time and services free to
unload cars of coal and other mer-
chandise, hauling the stuff where it be-
longs, and all this just for the sake OF
getting the enptied car in which TO
ship their grain. All of the seven ele-
vators and one fat house are practical
ly blocked with some 100000 bushels
on hand, part of which is stored in
temporary bins, hurriedly erected.
Since Sept. 1 about 100000 bushels
have been shipped in $50 cars, less
than three cars a day allotted to eight
busy grain buyers. The result is that
about one-third of the crop is still out
of the market, and the farmer will see
another seeding season roll around be-
fore he can fully realize on his 1905
crop.

VICTIMS ALL DIED SUDDENLY
HUSBAND AND TWO CHILDREN
AMONG THE WOMAN'S VIC
TINS.

Philadelphia, Nov. 28.-The most re-
Of persons to secure insurance money
that has ever been unearthed in this
city is charged against Bridget Carey,
arrested last night. The woman, who
is thirty-two years old, is charged
with having poisoned her husband, her
two children, who died a week ago,
and Patrick and Cecilia Cook, tenants
in the Carey house.
Got $1,000 Insurance.
All the alleged victims died within
eleven months, and the police declare
Mrs. Carey benefited to the extent of
$1,000 through the collection of insur-
ance. The woman's arrest followed an
investigation made into the deaths of
her two children, which occurred last
week, An analysis of the stomachs
of the children showed that the little
girls died from arsenical poisoning.
The children were insured for SIPS
each, and Mrs. Carey collected this
amount after their deaths.
Tenants Die Suddenly.
Cecilia Cook had been the lessee OF
the house and Mrs. Carey was ten
ant. The police officials say that Miss
Cook was insured for 5000 in favor Of
Patrick Cook, her brother, and that on
Aug. Is she died. Patrick had been
insured for $500 in favor Of his sister.
He collected the insurance on her pol
icy after her death, and Mrs. Carey
took up the lease of the house.
Thereupon Patrick Cook made his in
surance in favor of Mrs. Carey sud
died a short time after. The police
say Mrs. Carey secured the insurance.
