.DOINGS WEDNESDAY
Changed Jury System

Eighteen instead of twelve jurors
will be drawn for all circuit court
cases at the calling of the case for
trial, though but twelve jurors will
be retained to hear the case, An
amendment to the law, Chapter $50,
laws of 1909, provides that in all
cases the clerk shall draw eighteen
names instead of twelve, for a jury.
Plaintiff and attorney will be granted
the right Of three pre-emptory chal-
lenges and where the challenges are
not all exercised the clrek of court
shall draw lots or eliminate the addi-
tional members of the jury from the
case leaving but twelve for the trial.
Under this provision there will be
eighteen jurors up to the time that
testimony is started in the case, the
law providing for additional names
where jurors may be excused for
cause. The important part of the
change is that no additional jurors
can be called after strikes are exer-

For Joseph Jefferson.

The Wonderful Feats He Performed
For Joseph jefferson.
There is a story that is told of 10
seph Jefferson and the boys that had
to do with the training of dogs 1t
appears that there was gentleman in
New Iberia who owned very intelli-
gent animal, and he was most anxious
for Mr.. Jefferson to see an example of
his prowess. Accordingly he brought
him to the island one day and put him
through his various tricks, which were
remarkably clever.
When the performance was over Mr..
Jefferson expressed his appreciation
and wonder at what the dog had done
but added that he had an animal that
was even more remarkable AS the
gentleman seemed to be in some doubt
dog, a detected, stupid looking beast.
was produced, and Mr.. Jefferson Or
dered him to go into his room and
bring him a shoe.
Obediently the dog trotted into the
house to presently reappear with the
shoe in his mouth. Taking it from
him, Mr.. Jefferson patted him upon
the head and told him to return to his
room and bring him the slipper for his
left foot.
"And, mind you, bring the left one"
he cautioned as the animal trotted
away.
When he returned in a moment with
fhn loft c1i hn
hardly express his astonishment. but
Mr.. jefferson waved the matter indif-
ferently aside.
ut is nothing" said he. However.
we will now try something a little
more difficult" Then, turning to the
dog, he spoke to him very slowly and
carefully. "Now go into the library"
said he, "look upon the bottom shelf on
the right hand side of the room and
you will see a set of Dickens. Bring
sme the second volume. Remember
now, the second volume; not the first
or the third, but the second"
When the dog returned in a few
his mouth the gentleman retired in the
utmost confusion, declaring that in
comparison with such prodigy his
own much Wanted animal was little
better than an imbecile.
And 1 may add that Mr.. Jefferson
enjoyed the joke fully as much as did
the boys, who. according to a prear-
ranged plan. had placed each success
sive article in the prodigy's mouth. AS
to the prodigy, his one accomplishment
consisted of trotting into the house
and trotting out of it again.-Nevil q.
