How He Managed to Win Over Stub
born Kansas Juror.

A Kansas City lawyer Is telling
story-it's said to be true one, too
to illustrate in what peculiar manner
verdict Is sometimes reached by a
Jury, says the Kansas City Star. THIS
Is a story about jury that sat In
case which was tried and finished Just
before Christmas. A shrewd city bus
mess man was foreman Of the jury,
aud on 1t also was a gray-haired far
ner. from out in the country. 1t was
case in which some man was suing
railroad company for damages on
account of personal injuries.
It looked as II there wouldn't be
any agreement, and the stubbornness
that was manifested by some men,
bers Of that jury seemed to indicate
that Christmas would be spent in the
iuryroom. Finally, after futile bal
lots, the business man took the far
mer aside into a corner.
Most Of us are willing to give the
man something" urged the foreman.
Now, take a broad view of the case
and give the plaintiff $500 anyway
Just for humanity's sake"
Though reluctant at first, after
pressure the farmer yielded. Then
later, when nothing had yet been ac-
complished, the business man again
talked to the farmer.
you've given $500 for humanity's
sake" he pleaded. 'now give $500 for
sympathy's sake"
He talked earnestly and finally the
farmer yielded.
i've got him up to $1,000" the
business man said to himself. 1t be-
gins to look as If we might yet reach
a verdict" Then later he went to
work on the farmer again. 1t was
late In the afternoon.
It'll soon be Christmas" the fore
man told the farmer. "Give another
$500 for Gods sake and let's eat our
Christmas dinner at home"
mo. SIR" declared the farmer en-
nhatically. "I'll never give $1,500.'
After more pleading he said:
Now, I want to be home Christ
mas. I'll give $1.400 and not another
penny. I've said I won't give $1,000
and I won't"
Good" exclaimed the foreman.
Here's a verdict then"
The other members had been grad
ually coming down until they were for
about $4,000. Then the willy business
man took a pen and wrote some fig
ures in the blank left in the verdict
form: $1,49O is what the farmer
Thought he wrote. They all signed It,
II was afterward discovered the fore
man had written $1.940-transposing
the figures But the jurors did not
notice 1t and went away satisfied and
spent Christmas at home.

THREE HORSE STORIES.
From Ireland, California and South
African Rhodesia.

What Is said to have been one of
the most surprising feats of horse
manship in all Ireland is credited
to the late Empress Of Austria. After
a desperate chase a fox leaped the
wall of Maynooth college, where the
students were meditatively pacing to
and fro. AS the fox scurried across
the ground the young clericals were
about to take up the chase themselves
when a beautiful woman superbly
mounted, cleared the wall in pursuit
of the. quarry. 1t was the empress.
DIR. Walsh, the present Roman Cath
olic Archbishop of Dublin, received
his unexpected guest with gracious
courtesy. The chase had taken her
through deep water and her wet,
clinging garments suggested
change. But there was not a shred
Of female attire at Maynooth college,
so the empress threw over her shoul-
ders as acedemical gown belonging to
DR.. Walsh. In exchange for her wrap
the empress pressed upon the future
archbishop a diamond ring, and upon
her return to Austria she sent to the
college a superb statuette, In solid
silver, Of st. George and the dragon,
and for DR.. Walsh vestments Of silk
and gold worked with shamrocks in
green silk.
Here is story Of wonderful
jumping horse as told by an English
journalist "a California cowboy was
taking steers to Leadvflle and had
camped for the night on Bear river
near its junction with the Little
Snake. In the middle Of the night
something occurred to stampede the
cattle. The man mounted his bron-
CO and rode hither and thither on the
flank of the herd until their fright
had died away. Four or five times
the rider felt his horse give tremen-
dous leaps, and with daybreak dis
covered the cause. The cattle had
climbed on to a level plateau which
Is intersected by canyon four miles
long and from 1900 to 1000 feet
deep. It's walls incline toward each
other at the top, where the distance
is fifteen or twenty feet. In riding
the man had kept the steers cir
cling about this plateau. A dozen OF
them, he found, had fallen down the
canyon and had been killed. Hoof
marks showed him that the great
Jumps made by the horse were oc-
casioned by the animals clearing the
canyon each time 1t came to the TAX
ing-off spot"
Gertrude Page, author Of Life in
Rhodesia," tells Of a very intelli-
gent South African horse: Smoke
is this delectable animals name and
in all Rhodesia for character and en-
durance he probably has not his
equal. One tells of how he carried
him up a kopje like house side,
looking around occasionally to make
sure his rider had not slid off his
back. I was too busy keeping my
seat to see how he did It, he ex-
planned, but he must positively now
and then have hung around trees
with his forelegs.' Another will de-
scribe how he steps over little ledge

tenders and turning them over to the
police.
The police are not such bloody
minded men as the soldiers, and being
nearer to the people they understand
better how to handle them. The police
hit upon the happy idea Of instituting
a scheme of punishment which would
not only be corrective, but would be
profitable. The male offenders were
at once set to work clearing up the de-
bris and removing bricks, wires, pipes,
Stag, cinders and ashes, and cleaning
out vaults in Chinatown. The soldiers
with their bayonets were entrusted
with the job of seeing that the looters
did it,
Everybody enjoyed it hugely except
the looters. No one Of them was ever
seen to appear in the district again.
AS for. the women looters, they also
were utilized. The laundries in San
Francisco have been shut down for
weeks, and even millionaires walk
freely on the streets with dirty shirts.
AS for the police and firemen, clean
shirts with them are merely memo
ry Therefore, the women looters have
been set to work washing the dishes,
pots, pans and kettles Of the commits
sary department Of the police, and
likewise laundering the soiled linen
and underclothing which is the accu-
mutation Of several weeks. 1t is need
less to state that the female offenders,
after one trial Of this new method of
punishment, are never seen in the
burned district again.

HENRY VlIPS WASH.
II Was the Monareh's Custom to Per-
form His Additions on Saturday.

The origin of Saturday night tub
bing seems to be lost in the mists OF
antiquity, says the London Lancet.
According to Sidney Young, who de-
livered a most erudite and amusing
discourse at Rarbers' Hall on the Re
lations Anciently Existing Between
BARRIERS and Surgeons" it was the
custom of no less a person than King
Henry VIII. to perform partial ablu-
tions on occasional Saturday evenings

Faith was pleased 'to cleanse his

recurring the barber's attendance was
standing order dating apparently
from the reign of Edward ". 1t is
preserved in the "Liber Niger Domus
Regis" and it's wording seems to i'm
ply that the solemn washings were
partial and special rather than thor

en- did without them.

lies Weekly, coffin handbills were got
out by his political enemies during
his campaign Of 1928 for president, on
the lids Of which were inscribed the
names of his victims, and his oppo-
nent, President John Quincy Adams,
was accused Of robbing the govern
ment and of various kinds of vileness.
1t was charged that Clay bargained to
aid Adams in the contest of 1924 as
the price Of an appointment by Adams
as secretary Of state, and the charge,
which nobody in our day believes,
hampered Clay to the end of his ca
reer.
Lincoln was stigmatized as a clown.

Grant was denounced as a butcher

IMPORTANT TRIVIALlTlES.
Little Things That Played Parts In
Famous Careers.

Trivial circumstances have often gov
erned great events. When Mohammed
was a fugitive from his enemies he
took refuge in a cave. which his pur-
suers would have entered had they not
seen a cobweb spanning the entrance
Not knowing that the web was woven
after Mohammed had entered the
cave, they passed by, and thus spi-

RAISING A STEAMER.
How Two Young Engineers Succeeded
After Experts Had Failed.

How Two Young Engineers Succeeded
After Experts Had Failed.
1t was a damp, foggy night on No
vember /, 1905, when the Royal mail
steamship Bavarian, bound for Que
bee, struck on Wye Rock, in the st.
Lawrence river, thirty-eigh miles
from this port, says Popular Mechan-
les. The great 12,000-ton ship was
worth $1,OOO,O0O, and the next day d.
vers went down and reported the bot
tom of the hull torn out in great
pieces and the wreck securely impaled
on the sharp rocks.
One after another Of the wrecking
companies tackled the job, but all the
various methods which had proved
successful in other wrecks utterly fall
ed with the Bavarian. Finally the In
surance companies, in desperation, be-
gan a search for men with new and
untried ideas.
The announcement fell into the
hands of Robert o. King and his
friend, w. w. Wortherspoon, two
young American engineers only recent
ly graduated from technical schools.
One of them had a position on one OF
the tunnels under East river; he was
also an expert diver. The two for
mulated a plan for expelling the water
from the wreck by means Of compress
ed air. in a manner similar to that en-
ployed in forcing water out Of a calls
son. The old timers laughed at the
scheme, but the young men were given
permission to try. All the ships COM
partments were made as air tight as
possible, the matches were closed, seal
ed and fastened, Ind air locks were
placed on the compartments which
were full of water.
When all the preliminary work was
done several batteries Of big air COM
pressors were brought, anchored over
the wreck and connected by flexible
piping to the interior Of the hull. >,
The air was sent down into the hull,
the water was gradually forced out
and on November 16, 1906, the wreck
suddenly shook itself free from the
rocky jaws wllc held it and began to
rise. AS it came up through sixty feet
of water 1t rose faster and faster and
then appeared on the surface, covered
with the slime of the river bottom:
Tugs gathered around, made fast, and
the triumphant procession steamed In
to Quebec with whistles blowing ana
flags flying.
The operations had cost only $4,000
and the salvage reward Is one -half
her value or 100000. Brains and ed
ucation had won.

AIDS TO MEMORY.
Strings and Alarm Clocks and Modern
HeIps of the Business Man.

Strings and Alarm Clocks and Modern
Helps of the Business Man.
Some old-fashioned business men
still occasionally go downtown with
string around one finger in order
to keep in mind some family errand
or other domestic duty, says the New
York Sun. The diary, the card cat
alogue and such aids to memory are
common property, but thousands Of
business men have their own special
methods.
One. man who day after day work.
ed alone in his office so absorbed that
he forgot the dinner hour, set up an
alarm clock which went off at the
proper time for him to go home. At
ter that he had to keep a sharp look
out upon himself lest his attention
became riveted upon something after
he closed his desk and before he got
into his overcoat
The trick of writing postal cards
to ones self is getting to be used by
many men Of persistent treacherous
memory.
A New Yorker Of national reputa-
ton has to be watched closely In or
der that he shall make sure to read
his letters Of business. His neglectful
mail piles high upon his desk while
he is absorbed in matters that inter-
rest him more.
This mans case is not so much one
of bad memory as Of extreme absorp-
ton in special kinds Of things. His
expert advice commands high price,
but It is hard to get his opinion on
matters that do not interest him, and
he will put many hours Of valuable
time on questions that are not likely
to yield him money. He lacks the
money-making instinct, but has In
tense intellectual interests.
One man having noted that the
courtroom boy at his club always re-
membered the numbers of coat
checks even after he had been hours
on duty, came to conclusion that the
boys memory was largely that of the
eve; that the large figure on the coat
check became photographed on the
minds eye so to speak. The man
found that he had much the same
kind Of memory.
He discovered that. he could recall
for hours perhaps for days, the num-
ber Of a book page at which he had
left off reading, II only he had TAX
en- a good square look at the number
as it appeared printed upon the
page, and especially II the type was
large and clear. That hint has been
immensely helpful to him, for he uses
his eyes as an aid to- memory when
ever he can.
He finds now that he can recall
with slight effort the appearance OF
the address upon the envelope OF
letter that he may have posted, and
he Is always a little uneasy lest ne
may have neglected to write par
ticular letter unless this vision comes
up to him at command. 7He finds TOO,
that he can remember on what page
of a newspaper he may have seen
particular item and on what part OF
the page.
A great many men have to guard
against particular traps to the men,
ory. Some such men tend to confuse
right and left to the memory, and to
substitute opposites for each other
