Laymen and Law.

The New Jersey Bar association
was warned not long ago by its
president that laymens criticisms
of law were worthless because they
view the administration of law
from a place too far removed Tor
accurate observation. The presi-
dent also described the English n
common-law rule of judicial pro-
cedure mostly abandoned long ago
by herself as complete wise and
excellent" containing not single
requirement that has not been the
direct result OF the experience of
ages"
One citizen of Ohio murdered an
other The fact of the murder and
the fact that the prisoner commit
ed it were proved conclusiveIy. I'm
fortunately the prosecution neglect
ed to prove what was the true
name of the victim, who used an
alias. So the supreme court dis
charged the murderer. An Ala
bamd lawyer, in a speech TO the
state bar association said: Il have
examined about seventy-five tmur-
der cases that have found their way
to the supreme court More than
half Of these cases were reversed,
and not single one of them ON
any matter that went to the merits
Of the case and very few of them
ON a matter that could have in&
fluenced the jury in reaching a YER

If a physicians record showed
that more than half the children
whom he treated for measles died
under his ministrations, he might
contend that mere lay criticisms
were worthless because they view
the practice of medicine from a
place too far removed for accurate
observation" Nevertheless, most
laymen, after accurately counting
up the corpses, would form an
opinion that there was something
the matter with that doctor. Sat

Catching Chickens Easily.

Who has not seen the farmer,
his wife. the hired man and one or
more children engaged in the excit-l
ing chase for the chicken, which is
to be served for the family dinner?
All around the yard, over the
fence under the barn, through gar
den, until somebody luckily fais
upon it.
An easier way is to make a long
handled net, using a sound, we'll
made barrel hoop. An old ham
mock makes a fine net fOrthis pur-
pose. The net should be about
two feet deep. Lay it down, mouth
up, and put a few grains of corn on
top, pretend you are looking the
other way and when a chicken
steps on the net to pick up the
corn lift it suddenly, tip it slightly
to one side, and you have the
fowl safe
If you are particularly expert, the
net may be dropped down over the
bird. - Farm Progress.

CLUB NOTES.

The various active women's clubs of
Minot are taking the sole RESPONSE
bility of providing Christmas cheer for
the poor children of that city and the
result of their efforts promises to bring
delicious and bountiful dinners and
Christmas entertainment to many who
otherwise would have to spend the
day forgotten. The Woman's club is
responsible for the little banks that
are conspicuous in prominent places
all over the city, on which the pla-
cards read, Help a Child Have a
Christmas" These banks are already
jingling with coin and everyone is
urged to give literally as any surplus
will be used for relief work among the
poor during the winter ahead. These
women are not asking for any dona-
tions but would appreciate any and all
gifts of money which will be used wise
ly and well for the relief of those in
needy circumstances. The Art club
is taking the initiative in the prepar-
atoms for a fine Christmas tree, A. A.
Searle of the Orpheum has kindly put
his theatre at the disposal of the COM
mittee and expects to run Christmas
film or two. Mrs. Searle will sing a
Christmas song and Rev. P. w. Erick-
son will tell the story of the Christ
child. The Methodist Sunday school
is donating the tree, the Presbyterian
Ladies' Aid is making the candy sacks.
the wholesale houses are giving candy
and fruits, etc., and taken all in all
there is no reason why the children
attending should not have a glorious
tree. The Music club is also doing its
share. Mrs. Bangs has charge of the
music and good programme of Xmas
songs is assured. At least nifty pres
ents are being given by the ladies of
the Music club, under the chairman
