San Francisco Chronicle: Some

H. Afford. II was called to HanfOrd
to defend a petty offender in Justices
court. The defendant had demanded
a jury trial. and we put in half a day
trying to get jury, only to find out at
the end Of that time that we had one
lone juror in the jury box.
Well, Pm 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 address,
ing the lone Juror as gentlemen of
the jury and I succeeded in swelling
the Jury with feeling Of pride and
satisfaction by some timely comment
ON the self-evident honesty, intelli-f
gence and integrity Of the body. IL

to the jury room. where he might de-
liberate with himself. In twenty min

In an effort to show that a

The line elevators in the com

forty companies doing business
at 200 different points and con-
trolling about 1000 elevators,

Hoskins has been employed

combine. BY the terms Of his
arrangement the business Of q

Hoskins. He figured on the

and 8 cents commission. Thu 81
reports were not in the form Of
quotations but were sent out as

as absolutely fixing the price.
All this machinery was work

cording to the witnesses ex-
amined. They testified, howey-
er, that since that time there
has been no ironcIad contract in
regard to the division of bust

fixed in the reports of Hoskins
need not necessarily be follow

The new administration and job
bling house building erected by the
w. l.. Douglas Shoe Co., as a part of
its mammoth manufacturing plant in
Brockton. Mass, was dedicated on
June 10. The program included open
house from IL in the morning until
8 in the evening. There was mu-
steal programme and refreshments
were served all day. Fifteen thousand
invitations were sent out, including
over 1000 retail dealers in the
United States who handled the w. l..
Douglas shoes. Mr.. Douglas says that
his three large factories, also the
new building just dedicated, will al
ways be open to inspection and
visitors from everywhere will be well
come.
The new jobbing house just dedi-
Gated will enable hurry orders for
Douglas shoes to be shipped the same
day they are received. The new build
ing is $50 feet long, go feet wide and
two stories high. The jobbing depart
ment occupies the entire lower floor
and the new offices of the Douglas
Shoe company occupy the entire sec
ond floor. In the new building there
win be special offices occupied by the
Western Union and the Postal Tele-
graph companies; also by the Tele-
phone companies and there is an
elaborate mailing department. The
completion of this new administration
building marks the establishment of a
modern, up-to-date wholesale jobbing
house and office building.
Mr.. Douglas has long considered the
advisability of a jobbing house, not
only for the purpose of supplying his
own retail stores more readily, but
that the 1000 dealers throughout the
/ United States handling the w. l.
/ Douglas shoes might be able to obtain
shoes for immediate use with greater
facility.
The new building is said to be the
most complete and convenient of any
ever built for a commercial house il
the United States, so were the ex
/ pressions of appreciation by the many
persons who visited it for inspection
sincere and of highly congratulatory
nature. Architectural beauty as vel
as adaptability to the uses to which
it is to be put has been the aim il
construction, and the result is mos
satisfactory, to the visitor as we'll al
the firm.

race at the Spokane Interstate Fair,
which is to held this year, September

Cosgrove announces that $500 has
been set aside as purses for this con.

year instead of six as last year.
It is belived this handsome of.
fer will bring many horsemen.
The conditions are the same as
last year. Each man must have
at least four horses and will ride
two miles day, changing horses and
saddles at the end of each half mile.
It is presumed each rider will want
one or two extra horses in case of
accident. He will be permitted one

horse when he makes the change. He
however, must change saddles him

''Do Riches BRING HapBiness1P
Mr.. Yerkes was once answering ths
question which everybody naturally put
to him, do riches mean happinessT
There were two men in Philadel-
phia, Governor Schultz-he was called
governor" said Mr.. Yerkes with a
ghost Of a smile, because he once
wanted to be a candidate for the nom
ination to the governorship"-a delight
full and characteristic bit of humor per-
haps only Ineligible to those who know
America and Americans and their
craze for giving and perpetuating titles
-"and another man called Alec Benson
was his opponent Now, Governor
Schultz was just one of those happy
go-luciiy fellows whom everybody loved,
but who never had a dollar to his
name, while Benson was one of those
near men that just thought Of nothing
but accommodating money. He went
back to his Office after. his supper.
which he took at 6 o'clock, and worked
there till midnight, and he was there
again next morning and, in short, he
thought Of nothing but money, money.
money all the time.
We'll, Schultz got a little queer be-
fore he died and one night an old
friend of his went to visit him. He
lived In a small. unostentatious-in-
deed, rather poor-house, but he turn

Counterpart. That is cloth of gold.
The friend agreed that it was cloth
of gold And just look at this little
slipper and then he showed his friend
an ordinary, down-at-heel slipper. Feel
how heavy it ls-it is pure gold, ten
ounces to the inch And poor Governor
Schultz died in the conviction that he
was surrounded by and lived in halls
Of gold.
"And three days after Alec Benson
died and left millions But for weeks
before his death he was crying all day
and all night because he thought he
had lost all his money and was coins

CASKS DRIFT ACROSS POLE.

Proving Once More that an Arctic
Current Flows over North Pole.
Two of the drift casks which were
set loose in Behring Sea at the insti-
cation OF President Henry G. Bryant Of
the Geographical Society Of Philadel-
phia and of Admiral George w. Mel
vile some years ago have been recov-
cred. One of them was found on the
coast of Iceland, $500 miles from the
the Alaskan coast. In its tortuous
course it probably Travelled 1000 miles.
Its drift across the Arctic Ocean proves
once more the existence Of an arctic
current flowing from Behring Sea
across the north pole region.
Fifty spindle-shaped casks were con-
structed from designs submitted by Ad-
miral Melville and were sent north on
United States revenue cutters and whal-
ing ships to Behring Strait and there
dropped overheard in 1899, 1900 aud
1901
Each cask was numbered and con-
tanned q message in four languages re-
questing the finder to notify the Geo
graphical Society Of Philadelphia If
the cask turned up.
An examination Of the first record
shows that it was cast adrift by Cap
tain F. futile Of the United States rev.
enue cutter Bear on Aug. 81, 1901,
about eighty-fve miles northwest of
Wrangel Island and recovered by Cap
tain A. G. Christianson on Aug. II,
1902, near the mouth Of Koyluching
Bay, on the Siberian coast. 1t is Ell
dent that this particular cask did not
get a good start, ana N the one year
less four days of its drift the course
It followed Of $50 miles to the south
east was probably Influenced by local
currents which exist near Behring
Strait.
The other representative Of this ST.
lent feet which has been traversing the
desolate wastes Of the arctic seas had
a longer voyage and doubtless a more
eyentful history. Placed on the TOW
ice northwest Of Point Barrow, Alas
ka. in latitude II degrees 90 minutes
north and longitude 1874 degrees 80 min.
, utes west, by Captain N. T. Tilton OF
the steam whaler Alexander on Sept
Is, 1899, it was recovered one mile east
Of Cape Rauda Nupr, OF the northern
coast of Island, on June Z, 1905.
More Of the casks have come through
but have not been found, while others
no doubt have been found but not re.
ported. There is no telling how long
the cask found on LELAND drifted about
in open water before it was cast ashore

Canada Proposes A Most Stringent set
Of Rules.
Sunday will be more thoroughly OBJ
served throughout Canada than in any
other country of the world if the
Lords day bill now before parliament
becomes law. The measure, which is
a government bill, and thus sure Of
enactment, in its present form un-
less mooihed by the government itself,
is one of the most sweeping pieces of
Sabbath legislation ever framed. How
wide is the scope of the bill may be
judged from the following summary of
its main provisions:
First-It is made unlawful to sell
anything on Sunday, to transact any
business or to employ any other per-
son to do any work, except works Of
necessity, for money.
Second-Games and performances
of all kinds for which an admission
fee is charged are made unlawful.
Third-Excursions of every kind by
land or water on which passengers are
carried for amusement are prohibited.
Fourth-No public park or pleasure
ground or amusement place of any
kind to which an admission fee is
charged can be kept open.
Fifth-No person is allowed to shoot
at target or any other object.
sixth-The sale of foreign news.
papers is prohibited.
