HOW A JUROR WAS LOST

In a southern county of Missouri
years ago, says the Kansas City Jour-
nal, when the form of questioning was
slightly different than now, much
trouble was experienced in getting a
Jury in a murder trial. Finally an
old fellow answered every question sat
isfactorily; he had no prejudices, was
not opposed to capital punishment and
was generally a valuable find. Then
the prosecutor said solemnly:
Juror, look upon the prisoner; pris-
oner, look upon the juror"
The old man adjusted his spectacles
and peered at the prisoner for a full
half minute. Then turning to the court
he said:
Judge, durn if I don't believe he's
guilty.

Three MONTH TRIP

Robert Brooke and Family of
Portland Tour the Pacific
Coast

In an Is horsepower Franklin Robert
Brooke his wife, Kenneth Brooke, and
Frank Stores of Portland spent three
months in touring overs 4,123 miles OF
the Pacific coast. Their destination
when starting from their Portland home
was Monterey, Cal, and many side trips
were taken enroute.
Although the party. did no camping,
finding adequate hotel accommo atfons
wherever they went, some rare sport
in hunting and fishing was INDUCED
in, several days being spent at some
places which afforded these pastimes.
Intermingled with the motoring was
a bit of mountain climbing. This was
had at Crater lake and at Lassen peak.
Brook, in speaking of the trip. said:
"The grandest part of the trip was
along the coast road between San
Francisco and Crescent City, through
Humboldt Almost every hour the seen
cry changed, bringing pleasant sur
prises to us The route lies through
groves of redwoods in Humboldt and
Del Norte counties. Some bad roads
were found in this section, however.
We found good roads all throughout
the trip, except in two places. These
were from a point II miles west of
Grants Pass to that town and from
Salem Is miles toward Portland"

FISK TIRES MAKE
RECORD ON run
Hard Test for Equipment on
on the Fast Drive to
Tahoe Tavern

Those who have made the trip. to
Lake Tahoe, especially at the end of
the season. know the road conditions
and the effect on the tires with which
the car is equipped. 1t is a strenuous
journey at the best, for all sorts and
conditions of roads are met with, from
sand and heavy stretches to mud and
rocks, but when taken 1eisurely, of
course, the wear and tear on the tires
is lessened. In the recent endurance
run of the San Francisco motor club
to the lake probably no car had more
severe test in any way than did the
Knox car, which carried press repre-
sentatives and the donor of the trophy
This car made a splendid showing. not
withstanding the fact that it was sent
ahead always.
The Knox was equipped with FISK
tires, and the service given by these
tires was remarkable, considering the
hard use to which they were subjected.
The trouble consisted of one pune
ture, and this even could be used as
demonstration of the adpatability of
the Fisk removable rim, for three min
utes had not elapsed from the time of
the puncture until the car was again
on its way. With such equipment a
puncture, which will happen to any
tire, is not a bugbear, for it causes no
long delay and no tiresome struggle to
replace a tire.

The increasing popularity of motor
cars in New Brunswick is proved by
the report of Consul Michael j. Hend-
ricks, from ioncton. Hendricks says:
One year ago there were five motor
cars in Moncton, now about 80 are
owned and used here; with the excep-
tion of two, these are all Canadian ma
chimes; agents here sell them for Mont
real houses, who act as selllng or DIS
The most popular of these are made

stood that American capitalists control
y
for these machines were filled by send
ing machines which were manufactured
and assembled in Detroit, and costing
from s1,100 to $1,000 each. Several of
the most expensive motor cars here
bearing Ontario names, are said to be
the product of an American manufac-
turing concern. 1t is hard to get au-
thentic information from the dealers
here as to whether the machines sold
by them are actually manufactured in
Canada or are assembled here only;
their connection with the sellers eX-
tending only to the Montreal houses,
they do not know. 1t is surprising that
so many motor cars are bought and
used here; the country roads are simply
the soil, scraped and rolled after the
weather becomes settled; road machines
are owned by nearly all road districts,
besides which the splitlog road scraper
is used, after which roads are rolled.
Such roads are fine in dry weather, but
as soon as heavy rains fall motor cars
can not be used with comfort. There
are no electric motor cars here. Case
line motors are largely used by farm
ers, contractors and others, who use
only light power. These are nearly all
made in Canada, and are sold by agri-
cultural implement dealers. Only one
motor wagon is owned in this city, made
in Ontario, and the style of the vehicle
| does not seem to suit the Monctonians.
There is not a motor truck in this part
of Canada, the roads being unsuited
for their use.
