are preserved in the jury box wheel or
cylinder and the panels are drawn there

names are drawn from the wheel, and the
| first thirty or forty drawn from the wheel
will constitute the grand jury and the re-
malnder the petit jury. AS a consequence
Of a division OF the district grand juries
will be drawn only in Omaha and Lincoln
| the Lincoln term beginning In May.
| The land cases on the present fedora
| docket will all be tried in Omaha, the frs
one being that of the second group Of de
PENDANTS in the Richards and Com

''Tho use of blllboards and building signs

Although not yet given the official sane
ton and support OF the Real Estate ex-
change, e. A. Benson has not given up his
idea Of securing competitive submission of
specifications from architects for houses of
moderate price, and hopes that the move
ment will receive outside and voluntary as
sistance on the part Of individual real es-
tate men and others. over $50 has been
subscribed to be used as prizes for the best
plans submitted, and 1t is hoped that the
remaining 500 deemed necessary to the sue
cess OF the idea can be secured. 1t is Mr..
Benson's contention that home builders
with small means are deprived of the serv-
ices Of an architect to plan their homes,
and the submission Of a large number Of
plans In competition for prizes would be
OF great assistance along this line, the plans
submitted being for public use.

THE YOUNG MAN WHO WINS

Professor George Blount addressed the Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon on the subject: The Young Man Who Wins" The speaker used as a basis of his talk the first Psalm. In discus sion of this subject there are two per
 tient questions that may be asked:
 CD Who are they that win in lifes races? (2) What are some of the char acteristics that go to make up the character of a winner? On the race track only the one who passes all his competitions in the race wins the prize. Tn lifes race this is not so. for he is winner who possesses a genuine character Genuineness of character will be manifested in the spirit of helpfulness one shows toward others. Hence no young man can set for him self a better daily motto than this: ''I am going to do something today to make some one happier If We should all do this no enpmeration would be- gin to tell of the sood that would be done and the number of lives that would be made brighter. The amount of good you do in any one day may be small but if only you do it the arith- metic of heaven alone can estimate the result. The characteristics that go to make up the character of a winner are: Honesty. industry. perseverance,. self control. purity of heart and love.
