 Do you want this juror?"

 q want him disqualified before he goes off," replied MT Borah.
 The examination continued some time, and finally MT. Darrow, growing impatl- ent, said:
 "I challenge this juror for incompetency. I can't stand here all day trying to get intelligence out of him."
 MT. Borah was on his feet at once and said:
 Let him challenge for something un- der the statutes. 1 object counsel mal- ing such speeches"
 'Then I challenge him for bias. I am astonished that counsel for the state should want this juror"
 Il will astonish you very often," quick ly retorted Senator Borah, "and you might as we'll prepare yourself for sur prlses"
 Judge Wood denied the challenge
 b1r. Darrow proceeded and for some minutes Darrow and Borah exchanged verbal shots, the court frequently inter- rupting.
 MT. Dsrrow showed impatience and Sem ator Borah remained cool, laughingly and rapidly imposing objections and sugges- tions. The juror himself took courage from the support from counsel for the state, and became more obscure in his replies as MT. Darrow piled him with questions. Two objections from the state were sustained by Judge Wood and as many exceptions taken by the defense. 1t was quite evident that the talesman was persona non grata to the defense Finally MT. Darrow said:
 Have you any special desire to sit on this jury?'
 No, sir"
 Sure of that?"
 Quite sure.'

 Quickly changing the subject, Mir. Dar- TOW opened line of questions as to the effect of President Roosevelts "undesir- able citizen" letter. the expositions from the governor and Secretary Taft, but to no satisfaction Once more Senator Bo- raL objected and MT Hawley took a hand. MT. Darrow made flat denial of a statement from Senator Borah, who as quickly threw back the denial
 MT. Darrow became angry and hurled a question at the juror, who, in turn, lost his temper and shouted his reply.

The old-fashioned top boot was neces- sity to the pioneer whose feet had to be kept dry and warm and whose calves had to be protected from brambles. They were worn long after their day of abso- lute necessity in cities, and living men can well remember the dandy whose chief pride was in his high heeled, well var nished boots. The boots have gone. but In the comic papers the only missile fit to be sent flying through the night air after vocalizing cat is bootjack We throw bootjacks at the back fence, we write signs "boots and shoes" but there are no more boots. At least there are very few of them.
 In the northwest boots have given way to a felt stocking with rubber foot, which will keep out the cold. In the army they have puttees. Former Governor L. Powers of Maine, now member of Con gress, is proud of the fact that he Is the last man in Congress who wears boots. He keeps a bootjack in his apartments at the fashionable New Willard hotel in Washington, near which no cat has been heard to cry for many moons.

In the minds of a large portion of our strenuous American people. the wearing of spats is taken to be an indication of the near presence of mo1lycoddle. Yet spats are the most prosaic of all ar ticles of wear. They were invented by English hunters whose shooting expedi- tons led them across turnip fields, their first use being to keep turnip seed out of the tops of the sportsmen's shoes. Spats were worn for this reason only for many years in England, and then people began to wear them for ornament, or in a few isolated cases for keeping the ankles warm when wearing low-cut shoes.
 The yachting cap was designed, as It's name indicates, to wear on shipboard, and was constructed with a view of re- sisting the efforts of the wind to dislodge it from the head. Yet few years ago it was a common article of headgear in parts of the United States where there never had been and never will be yacht. t.ven now one may see men on the streets wearing a horrible headgear of leather which proclaims the automobile, but many of it's wearers will never be seen in a motor car.

One would suppose that there is not much room for change of fashion in gloves, but the woman who had trouble a year ago in getting her size in eighteen button black gloves will testify to the contrary. It leaked out that a famous beauty in Paris was wearing long gloves. By the way, they are eighteen button, or fourteen button only by courtesy. That merely shows how long they would be if they buttoned all the way up. All kinds have just three buttons. The Paris notion got noised abroad. The dressmakers caught on and chopped off all sleeves at a three quarter length. Then the women had to have long gloves. The stores and factories could not fill orders, and there was a veritable glove famine
 Nowadays, most women's gloves button, most mems gloves clasp. Not so long ago the women's gloves laced, the laces being caught over hooks such as are seen on mems shoes. The little button-like clasp which men like so much for its con- venience, was the foundation for the im mense fortune of ex-Congressman Lit tauer of New York, who first made gloves with 1t and popularized the device throughout the country. A few winters ago men in American cities were all wear ing white wooden knit gloves. It was quite the fashion to do so, and in some circles was thought smart Those knit gloves were the invention of an English glover for the protection of the white kids worn with evening dress. London's grimy atmosphere made contact with cab door handles fatal to white gloves, and these knitted overgloves were made solely for protection.

Fashions are set by accident in customs other than wearing clothes. Around the waters of the Potomac in season everyone eats planked shad. This is considered to be the most delicious dish on earth, and to refuse 1t is to insult the patriotic Washingtonian, Vrgnian or Marylander The shad Is dressed and broiled or baked on slab of oak or ash. The wood gives, it a peculiar and delightful flavor It was discovered at Marshall hall, the fine old seat of Chief Justice John Marshall, near ly century ago. Some shad had been dressed ana were nailed on the smoke house wall to be dried for winter use. The smokehouse caught fire and burned. A negro tasted a bit of the fish that had cooked in the fire He said. "Golly.' and invited the bystanders to share the feast. Marshall Hall is now a summer resort, where Washingtonians repair for a few hours outing on the banks of the Po- tomac and to eat planked shad in its na- tive home.s
 A great many people who like to play games in which skill, aleretness and mathematics are combined with the haz- ard of chance, are conscientiously opposed to playing cards Such was one Finch of Kalamazoo, Michigan.

defunct Chicago National Bank. made an un-
successful attempt to impeach the testimony Of

The witness shown a deposit slip for
$500 900 and asked If he had deposited with it
a check for a like amount to Mr.. Walsh's pri-
vate account. On his failure TO remember Mr.
Dobyns asked If he had not so testified before
the federal grand jury that indicted his former
employer.
THE happenings Of grand jury are supposed
to be secret" interposed Mr.. Miller. attorney
for the defence. ''The government cannot i'm
peach it's own witness in this manner"
Judge Anderson sustained the procedure but
ruled for the defence because foundation for
impeachment had not been laid. The govern
ment attorney then endeavored TO establish such
a foundation but the failure OF the witness TO
recoIlect anything except generalities baked
him.

that in the streets was waiting for him.
After some minutes had passed custodian ex-
planned the situation TO the Mayor and others and
Il was decided TO dispense with the reception to
Weston. Nothing. however intsrfsred with his un-

BANKING LAW CRITICISED.

A letter written 10 Governor Hughes by Samuel
Unternyer in which he criticised the prese4t laws
governing the appointment Of receivers for insolvent
banking concerns and asked the Governor TO recon-
mend in his forthcoming message 10 the Legislature
certain changes in the law governing these appoint
ments. was made public yesterday. What Mr.. I'm
termyer particularly complained OF in his letter was
tbs action OF the Attorney General In appointing
out~of- town receivers for New York and Brooklyn
banking institutions. He submitted that the law
officer Of the state should not be invested with a
roaming commission which may be put TO uses
that are TOO apparent for comment" and sug-
gested that the venue OF all receivership actions
brought By the Attorney General should be laid in
the county in which the principal place OF business
OF the corporation IS located. Mr.. Unternyer also
suggested in his letter that at least i've days
notice should be given Of such application. that
the receiver should be q resident OF the judicial
department in which the corporation is located,
that both the counsel for the receiver and the
ceivsr should be salaried officers and that the de-
positors should be allowed opportunity 70 Sc
lect their own permanent receiver or trustee on
liquidation.
