The Scotch Juror.

Ia Scotland in a. civil case jury
a:u get ten shillings a day for their
SO. rices, and the litigants> must in
addition provide them with lunch.
n two cases are tried consecntiyely
on one day, and the same jurymen
offlciates they get ten shilHngs for
each case. .,~'>1
But the most important difference
between an English and Scottish
Jury is this: An English jury when
returning their verdict must be un-
animous, and # they fail to agree
after certain length of time they
are dismissed and the whole pro-
ceedings are begun again dc noro
before a fresh jury. This is most
expensive mode OF administering
Justice In civil cases, in order to
avoid this result, the litigants some
times agree to accept the verdict OF
a majority. In Scotland the jury
can always give verdict by ma
jority. in civil cases after the lapse
OF three hours.

Is there such a thing in the mar

shoe of the farmer and laborcr. 1t

DOGS AS WATCHsIEN's HELPERS
Eaily Trained and Often Show Con-
siderable Sagacity.

Training dogs to assist the watch
men and police is a very simple
matter" said an old private watch
men of Boston. who formerly walk
ed beat in the South End.
Dogs like the work. They en-
JOY prowling around through alleys
and back yards and nosing into cor,
ners and behind barrels and piles Of
boxes, and their wonderful sense OF
smell often enables them to locate
an intruder SO securely hidden that
his presence would never be sus-
pected by q watchman.
When [ was walking a beat 4
large Newfoundland dog began fol-
lowing me Of his own accord. /
didn't encourage him at first, but
let him go along on my rounds al
much for company as anything else.
That dog watched me like detect
I've and seemed to understand every
thing I did: followed me into every
yard, and in less than week knew
every house that l was employed to
watch
I'm ten days he was doing largs
part of my work. OF course he
could not try the doors, but after
the first round, when / tried all the
doors and saw that everything was
right, all | had TO do was to send
I,; To, 70 ba md n1 hs,
1ia it thoroughly. If anything was
wrong he barked and | ran In to see
what was the matter. Once q back
door was open. The gentleman Of
the house had come. in late, left tie
dood Unmatched and the wind blew
1t open. The dog knew it was wrong
and Darked for me to come.
Another time I heard him bark
ing in back yard. and running in,
found he had cornered man hiding
behind pile Of boards. The dog
worked with ME for nearly three
years. Every evening, no matter
what the weather, that dog was on
hand at the patrol box where / re-
ported. On cold nights we would go
into an engine house to warm, and
while the dog enjoyed the warming
hour as much as l did he was. no
Hiulker, but whenever | was ready
to go he WAS. ready, too.
II lost sl because his owner
moved outRof the city, but as soon
as 1t became known among the dog
population that he wasn't working
his place was taken BY hound that
| had often noticed following US in
furtive fashion, as though he would
like to be OF the party, but didn't
want TO intrude, and the new dog
seemed from the first to understand
every thing that ought to be done
and did it az we'll as his predecessor.

ton ascribed to it by the Times-Re-

Further Mrs Mathis stated in per-

action of the committee on which
she was appointed to serve.

that this IS somewhat original me-

reasonable time silence would be con
strued into consent.
The majority of the committee hav-
ing responded favorably to this re-
quest the circular was issued and
necessarily included the names of the
entire committee.
IF the Americas Chapter has cast
its vote in favor Of the extra session
and a reconsideration of the. monu-
ment location, it must hold its presi-
dent responsible for trying to sustain
a position on both sides Of the fence.
Mrs. Mathis, as a member of the COM
mittee appointed to place the monu-
ment in Richmond, cannot claim that
any liberty has been taken with her
name. If not in sympathy with the
movement, she should not have asked
to be added to the committee"
