A Kansas, City lawyer is telling a story
| II is said to be a true one. too-tof illus
trate in what peculiar manner a verdict
| Is sometimes reached by Jury. This is a
story about jury that sat In a case which
was tried and finished just before Christ
mas. A shrewd city business man was
/ foreman Of the jury, and on II also was a
gray-hAired old farmer from out in the
county. II was a case In which some man
was suing a railroad company for damages
on account OF personal injuries.
| The deputy sheriff had escorted the jury
to It's room and locked 1t In. On the FIRST
ballot there was a wide difference or opin-
ion. Two or three members of this Jury
voted TO give the plaintiff damages in sums
ranging from 5000 TO $4,000. The business
man who was foreman voted for 5000.
The farmer was one who Couldn't see the
plaintiff was entitled to a cent"
II looked as IL there wouldn't be any
agreement. and the stubbornness that was
manifested by some members OF that Jury
seemed to indicate that Christmas would be
spent In the jury room. Finally after f,i-
tile ballots, the business man took the
farmer aside into a corner.
! Most OF us are willing TO give this man
something" urged the foreman. Now,
take broad view OF this case and give
the plaintiff $500 anyway-dust for human
itys sake"
Though reluctant at first, after pressure
the farmer yielded. Then later, when moth
ing had yet been accomplished the bust
ness man again talked to the farmer.

he pleaded. now give $500 for sympathy's
sake"
He talked earnestly and finally the farmer
yielded

like we might yet reach a verdict" Then

I'll give sl.4sO and not another penny. I've

Good" exclaimed the foreman. Here's
a verdict then"

JOHN L. SQUARE.
Pays Another Bill Contracted Many
 Years Ago.

"I want to say that agree with what has been printed lately regard ing the honesty of old John l.. SulH- van," said Hector Donald McKepzie, the we'll known dealer in wine, last night. "If ever there was man who is on the level, it's Sullivan. The old champion has not had drink for two years and he shows it. He is in good health, good natured. considerate Of everyone, takes good care of himself, and looks out for the money.
 Sullivan and l always were good friends 1hd he recently gave me an insight into his character. l always knew him to be square man, and hope others will realize it as well as II do. When Sullivan was running a saloon on Forty-second street in this city with Carroll. they got hard up. went in there one night and ordered a bottle of wine. Sullivan acted quite embarrassed and finally he took me to one side and confessed that they did not have the wine l wanted. Sul- livan said: The fact is, we ought to have the wine. Our credit is not good-we haven't been doing well lately. I wish I had couple of cases but we have no money. I'll have to get along without it.
 'I told him I would go over and send him two cases of pints and quarts, and he could have them on credit. If he did not pay for them l said I would. That was seven years ago, and ] had almost forgotten about the wine bill. I met Sullivan at the Iroquois hotel in Buffalo a few weeks ago. and went to his room to talk with him. He. of course, was not drink- ing. but we had a few glasses of water together. and to pay for the last one John had hundred dollar bill changed. When he received the money he pushed s65 toward me.
 "'Take that be said"
 "sWhy should I take your money | asked. I don't want it.
 "I owe 1t to you said Sullivan. Do you remember those two cases of wine that you let me have and for which you paid? It's your money. and if you don't take 1t. you and I will have trouble.
 Mir Mckenzie took the money. He said that Sullivan told him he was saving his money and never would be broke again. Against the rainy | day which may come some time Sul- | livan has s40.oo0 planted with sis ter who lives in Boston.

 Manly Athletic Sports.
 BOSTON, March 14.-The long pend ing question of whether Harvard would be permitted to engage further in in tercollegiate sports was disposed of when the board of overseers of the col lege, accepting the recommendation of majority of a special committee, voted to authorize intercollegiate ath- letics, though in a restricted form.
 This means that football and other games will be continued at Harvard. as the corporation of the university has already accepted the report of the subcommittee.
 When President Roosevelt visited Harvard on Washington's birthday in an address to the students he upheld football and other athletic sports as tending to promote manliness and quick action for the future game of life" which the students would all have to play and decried ''namby- pambyism' and all that tended to make "mollycoddles" Of the youth Of America.
 At later period Dr. Eliot, the pres ident, came out strongly against foot ball. describing it as fierce" and un- fit for college students.
 The majority report reviewed at length athletic conditions at the uni versity and paid tribute to the liar yard athletic committee for its accom- plishment of needed reforms" But the committee thought and the board of overseers agreed that the number of athletic contests should he reduced, expenses on intercollegiate games should be cut down and professional coaching in any form should be done away with as soon as possible.
 The committee recommended that the athletic committee use every effort to secure concerted action with other colleges to abolish professional coach. ing.
 A severe condemnation of football is made by Moorfeld Storey, the sole dis senting member of the committee, who presented minority report.
