Fine Men for a Jury.

The difficulty of impaneling a jury in
the early courts of Wisconsin may be
seen from a story related by former Sen
atOr Spooner Of that state.
Judge Irwin was on the bench, and q
murder trial was pending. q. 7. Long,
familiarly known as Lucy Long, was
undersheriff. There was difficulty in get
ting a jury that knew nothing about the
facts of the case. The regular panel had
been exhausted and a special venire had
been issued and was finally returned.
"'WeH Mr. Long asked the judge,
have you ut last secured a sufficient
number Of jurymen who know nothing
about this case|
" yes, your honor replied Long. Six
Of these men don't know anything about
this case. and the other six don't know
nothing at all "-Minneap polls Journal.

acres Of unoccupied habitable land.
What a slim reserve that is may be
realized from the fact that one-fourth
Of 1t was disposed Of IN the following
year. We cannot add to our agri-
cultural areas except by irrigation and
drainage, but we may, by intelligent
selection Of crops, by scientific cultiva-
ton and by careful treatment of land,
make 1t produce three or four times
as much as it does at present. And
this Is the direction in which our de-
velopment should proceed, for we must
find room within the next 80 years for
a doubled population according to our
undiscerning ideas. The American
farmer of the future must be a man Of
broad mind and technical knowledge.
