Laws Delay.

Chicago Tribune.
 In England and Wales SO,OOO cases are pending. In Chicago there are SO.- 000 suits awaiting trial in courts of record. and fin the United States l. s0O. GOO similar suits are estimated to be bending.
 In Chicago and many other places in this country the courts are from two to three years behind In their work. In England a case ls reached within a few months from the time 1t Is be- gun.
 This country has twenty times as much civil litigation as England and seventy times as many judges to dis pose of it.
 Tn English courts the judge takes an energetic part in the trial, super intending it ali and keeping it under his direction ad control. He instructs the jury in plain terms, instead of the suited manner prescribed by law in this country.
 There are no Gilhooly or Shea juries in England and Wales. It has been said that, instead of waiting months to complete a jury because of objec- lions made to veniremen. the Shea jury would have been completed in England in an hour. Comparatively few per sons are exempted from jury service there. Peremptory challenges are ai- lowed in cases of felony, but not in misdemeanors.

DEACON DRURY'S

s slcopyrisnt, 1907. by Homer sprague }
 It was the beginning of September and all trains entering the, great city were filled with returning tourists. The westetn express was coming through in two sections. The first section was on time at Albany and Jack Brainerd boarded the train. The second section had been delayed by broken axle and was scheduled to reach New York three hours after the first. sfN
 As Brainerd passed through one of the day coaches on his way to the smoker, he recognized with some sur- prise man sitting in the corner seat at the front of the car Brainerd squeezed in beside him at the same time holding out his hand
 Hello, Deacon Drury. Didn't look to see you here. Hou's the good wife ana daughterf"
 iHow dye do. Mir. Brainerd? Glad to See you" said he. Folks is all pretty smart. Mary was wondering last week if yeu'a git up to the farm agin this Fall"
 ''No." responded Brainerd. "shant get time this year. He smiled to him. seir as he remembered his three weeks of the previous Fall on the Deacon's farm. while shadowing noted crimi- nal now "doing time" at Sing Sing. But the fact that he was one of the best detectives on the New York force was not known to the farmer. They chatted as the train sped on but Brain. erd noticed that his companion was Ill at ease and very nervous. 4 definite suspicion shaped itself in his mind and he proceeded to draw the old, man out
 How long are you going to stop Ii New York, deaconT
 Like as not, I'll go back home to- morrow" answered the farmer. hesita- tinely.
 Haven't been in New York very lately have you?
 Nc. haven't been down since fsso."
 You'll find a good many changes. Going to stop with friends?'
 No. I'm going to put up at a hotel"

< OUR DAILY SHORT STORY

Taking an evening paper from his pocket, he began to read. The farmer followed him into the office, waited h:s turn to register, and paid his dollar from a well-filled leather wallet. Then the man who had entered before him rose. folded his paper and, apparently noticing him for the first time, advan;- ed and called him by name
 How are you Deacon Drury," he said warmly. Just In from Put neville. You haven't had dinner yet. I guess Come along with me. and we'll eat together"

 They were on the sidewalk now, and Lowering signa1ed hansom. Tho driver of the first in line was asleep. but the second was wide awake, and in flash had driven up to the sidewalk ready for his fares. Both men entered and Lowering said: sixth avenue L downtown"
 AS the driver settled himself on the box and picked up the reins he turned half around and faced Sixth avenue, then glanced South, and next looked overhead. A moment later the Dea- con noticed an express wagon in which were three brawny Italian labcrers rapidly driving west through Forty second street.
 "If you're all ready for business, wed better finish the deal at once Dea- con- said Lowering. what do you saw"
 II reckon we'll both feel easier to git 1t over"
 Then we'll go right downtown. but don't speak of the deal again till give you the word. Cars have ears, as well as windows"
 Their driver was either drunk or stu- pid. for twice before reaching Sixth avenue he was tangled up with other vehicles when they reae aefed the plat form and boarded a downtown train the Deacon again caught sight of the three Italians entering the ear behind Their boots and clothing were thick with mud. and each carried pick. or shovel besides his coat and dinner pail.
 The Deacon had overcome his nerv- ousness of the afternoon. and seemed

When 1t was finished the church was taken to pieces and packed in thousands of numbered cases for transportation to Eichwald.

and has brought itself Into disreputa as sheep killer. The kea actually siaughtefs live sheep, alighting on their backs and tearing away the flesh until d vital spot is reached. Another bird on New Zealand's stamps Is the kiwi, or apterys. It bears some re- lation to the ostrich. but is very much smaller, ranging In size from that of the hen to two feet high. It does not fly but Is a swift runner.
 Almost everyone Is familiar with the beautiful parrot stamps" of Guatema- la. As a matter of fact, however. the bird shown thereon Is not a parrot al all but the magnificent trogon. or golden quetsal. The male is a gorA geous parsonage. Guatemala has been dubbed "The Land of the Quetzal."

 Of other birds there is an attrac- tive array on current postage stamps. some foreign postal authorities beipg particularly partial to them. The French dependency New Caledonia, is- sued a stamp ini90S surcharged With a cagou, a species of bird with which we are not as familiar as we are with other stamp creatures of foreign lands.
 The ruffied neck condor, the nation al bird of the South American republic, Colombia, is shown on any humber Of the very many varieties of stamps which that country has Issued.
 The Chinese treaty port Wuhu makes a postal speciality Of bird stamps and presents the stamp collector some of the prettlest designs in this line. In it's first issue--that of 1s94--there were several attractive specimens, all of which are common enough to be avail able for any collection. The half pen- ny stamp shows a flight of ducks, sufficient inviting to tempt the pow der anu shot of the most enthusiastic sportsman. The one cent stamp beai a picture of the common pheasant as does the ten cent stamp, while the tempting ducks reappear on the forty cent issue.
 In It's issue of stamps two years la- ter Wuhu again showed It's partiality to the bird family. A pair of cranes is depicted on two of this Issue. and a great white horned owl occupies the center of two others. Wuhu does not monopoilze the pheasant stamp. Ichang another Chinese town. has stamp showing the beautiful Reeves pheas- ant, while North Borneo pictures the Argus pheasant on a i've cent issue Of 1898. It Is natural that some have confounded this picture with that oi a peacock, for the resemblance is strong. but the number and disposi- tion of the eyes, as well as the two lone terminal tall feathers. indicate the real variety of the bird.

RUSSIAN GRAND DUKES.

 Pearsons Weekly.
 The general idea regarding a Rus- sian Grand Duke is that he is an idle, tyrannicsl autocrat. with no object in life save the cruel oppression of the Russian lower orders. and the mainte- nance of himself in supreme power only second to that enjoyed by the Czar himself To & certain extent this esti- mate of the character of a Grand Duke is correct, but when we consider their invironment and the narrow teachings of their class, we shall then find that they are not so bad as we are accustomed to regard them.
 From the talk one hears of them. there might be thousands of Russian Grand Dukes. whereas. as 2 matter of fact, at the present time there are only nineteen.
 A small band, you will think. to cause so much fear and unrest, such a degree of hatred among the Nihiiists But they have, small as theif number is. so much individual power by right of birth that collectively they become a national menace. It Is this principle that the political organizations of Rus- sia are warning against.
 The Grand Dukes consist of the male relatives of the Czar. and include

number of stamps showing the black swan disporting itself In a body or water. There is a great variety or these and the black swan is obtaina- bfe in almost any color of the rainbow and few eolors not in the rainbow. The swan has been portrayed on stamps of this antipodean land since its first issue of postal carriers in 1854 and the bird has almost entirely monopolized the issues since that date.
