When the Jury Disagreed.

Some years ago, while was residing
at Visalla," remarked Attorney William
ii. Afford, Il was called to Hanford to
defend a petty offender in a Justices
court. The defendant had demanded a
jury trial, and we put in half a day try
ing to get jury, only 10 find out 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 attorney for
the prosecution.
so am l. declared.
And we proceeded with the trial.
The arguments were howlingly funny,
for the reason that the attorney for the
prosecution persisted in addressing the
lone juror as gentlemen of the jury
and L succeeded in swelling the jury
with feeling of pride and satisfaction
by, some timely comment on the self
evident honesty, intelligence and in
tegrlty OF the body. I really thought I
had that lone juror won. Then the con-
where he might deliberate with himself
In twenty minutes the jury returned
with the announcement that no agree
ment could be reached.
The jury disagrees,' was the an
nouncement, when the court asked the
lone juryman if he had arrived at a
verdict. You see, it's like this he went
on to explain. When l consider the tes-
tlmony of one side / want to find the
defendant guilty, and when 1 consider
the testimony of the other witnesses I
want to discharge him. 1 can't agree
with myself

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.
No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.


No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.
Lying awake nights makes it hard to
keep awake and do things In daytime.
To take "tonics and stimulants" under
such circumstances is like setting tbe
house on fire to see IL you can put 1t
out
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way OF
eating to Grape-Nuts, and says:
''For about three years | had been a
great sufferer from indigestion. After
trying several kinds of medicine, the
doctor would ask me to drop off pota-
toes, then meat, and so on, but in few
days that craving. gnawing feeling
would start up, and l would yomlt eV-
erything 1 ate and drank.
when I started on Grape-Nuts. vom-
iting stopped, and the bloating feeling
which was so distressing disappeared
entirely.
"Nly mother was very much bothered
with diarrhea before commencing the
Grape Nuts, because her stomach was
so weak she could not digest her food.
Since using Grape Nuts she is well, and
saws she don't think she could live with
out 1t.
1T is a great brain restorer and nerve
builder, for l can sleep as sound ana
undisturbed after a supper of Grape
Nuts as in the old days when | could
not realize what they meant by bad
stomach There Is no medicine so ben
eficial to nerves and brain as good
nights sleep. such as you can ENJOY
after eating Grape-Nuts."

Bolivian Petticoats.

The priced possession of the Bolivian
Indian woman and her chief pride also,
whether she is pure Indian or chola, is
her petticoat. Her doWry is in this
garment Like the Dutch woman of ira
dition, she carries her wealth about with
her. These petticoats are OF all colors
of the rainbow and divers other hues not
found therein. l first noticed them at
Nazarene, and remarked the love of col
or, which must be Unborn, for the gar
ments were of yellow, purple, violet, fiery
red, crimson, scarlet, subdued orange,
glaring saffron, blue and green. They
were very short, reaching barely below
the knee, and no difference was observed
between childhood, maidenhood, matronly
middle life and wrinkled old age. Glanc-
ing from my window in Tupiza, l
thought it was parade OF perambulat-
ing balloons.
These women have habit which the
bashful traveller does not at first under
stand. When he sees one of them calm
ly removing a pettlcOat he is apt to turn
away, but he need not do so. 1t may be
that the advancing heat of the day has
caused the wearer to discard the outer
skirt, but more likely it is the vanity Of
her sex, and the desire to make her SIS
ters envious by showing what is beneath,
for each new vesture disclosed is more
brilliant than the one which overlapped
it. | sat in the plaza at Tupiza and
watched two Indian women try to make
each other envious. The first one re-
moved the outer petticoat, which was
of purple. This Investment disclosed
another garment of blazing red, and
after that came a brilliant yellow. The
other woman started with a green petit
coat and gradually got down to a mix
ture of blue and yellow. By that time
| had begun to fear for the consequences
and made a pretence of turning my back
by strolling to the hotel.-National Ge-
ogra phic Magazine.

The University of Notre Dame, it APP
pears, has some features that cannot be
duplicated in any other school. 1t is one
of the old, well-established colleges,
with settled traditions reaching back
sixty-four years, with distinguished
staff Of professors and excellent library
and laboratory equipment. It's disci-
pline is of the paternal kind-strong
without being oppressive; and as it
embraces in it's scope the grammar
school, high school, and college work,
it's appeal is as broad as 1t is potent.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
of the famous Indiana University, how
ever, is the fact that it has arrived at
its present marvellous development abso-
lutely without endowment. An an
nouncement of the courses provided at
Notre Dame appears on another page.

THEoCRITUS ON AGRADINA.

The spacious cities hummed with toll;
The monarch reared his towers to the skies
Men delved the fruitful soil
And studied to be wise
Along the highways rocky coil
The mailed legons rang;
Smiling unheeded mid the moil
The Poet sang.
The glittering cities, long are heaps;
The starry towers lie level with the plain
The desert serpent sleeps
Where scared the marble fame
The stealthy, bead-eyed lizard creeps
Where cleaned the Tyrant's throne,
That grandeur dark Oblivion sleeps,
The song sings on.

To Make Ottawa a District.

There is reason to believe that the pro-

capital, a national district similar to
that of Washington is assuming a def

strong probability that the residents of
the city and the people of the Domin-
ion will ere long be called upon to make
pronouncement on the question.-Otta-

Being good would be mere popular if
it had more thrill in it.

Swearing was invented to give force to

What makes life so dull is the scarcity
of really attractive temptations.
Law and justice are always spoken of

More people would be happy if they
not.

In London They Sometimes Take Up
Collections Between the Acts.
London theater-goers are complaining
of being held up for charity collection
between the acts.
If the custom continues, London audi
ences will be driven to the Hobbies. The
exodus viii be as complete as in Paris,
where only rows of empty seats would
be left for the hat passer.
A visitor to the Imperial theater re-
lates that few nights ago a young
woman came around with plate to
make n collection, leaflets descriptive of
the object for which the contributions
were asked having previously been hand
ed to the audience with their pre-
grammes.
Theatrical managers know their own
business best, says writer for Truth,
but l should not think that the popular
ity of theater is likely to be increased
by dunning the audience for charity sub
scriptions between the acts.

For The period Of nearly seven

fact taken into consideration, we be-

patronage than we have so far re-

It is readily admitted by men who
observe and know things when they
sec them that at this time there 10
not an individual enterprise which
can do more for Amarillo and the
surrounding country than first
class daily newspaper. There are
those, of course, who can see moth
ing except dollars in hand, but life
is too short to waste time on such
cattle. Some happy day they will
pass on to other realms and others
will have the pleasure to live in lux

As stated heretofore, and with alb
soluto truth, the issuing of daily
newspaper is an expensive business,
Hitherto the receipts OF Tho Daily

expenditures by $500 per week. We
