RIFLE WOUNDS IN THE WAR

Wounding an enemy in wal is better
than killing him. for unless he is cap
tured it imposes on his side the burden
of taking care of him. The Balkan wal
has again proved that the buli,t of the
modern high power rifle with it's terrific
speed will 60 straight through a man,
penetrating the most vital organs,
without killing him; and it has even
been found to 60 through from four to
six men. one behind the other. This
puts them out of the fight, but at the
same time it is a good thing for the
fighter, for it gives him a far better
chance for his life.-From the February

THE INJURED TWELVE.

Gentlemen of the jury" said the
court. until you have rendered a
verdict in this case you will be kept
in close confinement" Then followed
other announcements and instruc-
lions. The jurors were forbidden to
discuss the case among themselves
or to speak of the testimony to
which they had listened all day.
They were to be perfectly free to
write letters to their families, but
would not be allowed to receive let
tiers except under the censorship of
the court.
1t was to be a very interesting
case, involving to some extent a
prominent mans reputation and an
outspoken mans money. In fact, it

stake. Nobody is going to be hanged
as a result of the trial and nobody is

the vital respect of freedom to pur-

Jury service is a duty upon the
citizen by law. 1t is not necessary
that he enjoy it. This despite the
fact that occasionally men fail to

intercept it. But it seems queer that
the law which takes such pains to
secure their full rights to accused or
contentious citizens of the most inno-
cent sort and force them, theoretical
ly at least. into a position where it
can and does deny them the most
rudimentary rights.
Among the many things which,. as
everybody knows, are the matter with
the jury system, one of the biggest is
that the juror seems to have no rights
which the court is bound to respect
As we were lately reminded, the jury
ofttimes is not even allowed to decide

Where a Name Was Costly.

People have not always been allowed
the pleasure of having as many names
as they wish. Four hundred years ago
not even a middle name was allowed in
England. 1t was illegal. The old Eng
lish law was definite and admitted of
no infraction of it's ruling.
The only exception made to this reg
ulation was in the case of persons of
royal rank If they wished they could
boast middle name, but woe to the
person of ordinary rank who was suf-
fieciently unwise or obstinate to insist
on having more than two appellations.
For the first offense he would likely
be tied to a whipping post and severely
dashed. For second offense he would
endure some more lasting punishment,
perhaps the removal of his thumbs or
his ears. And if he still persisted in
his stubbornness he would be hanged.
There is a case on record of a man
who insisted on signing four names
every time he wrote his signature. He
passed through all the legal stages of
punishment until he was finally hanged.

his HUGH IDEALS.

William Allen White, the man of
High Ideals. in trying to smoke Bris-
tow out, tells that statesman that his
only chance for reelection is in
sticking to the Bull Moose party.
That was the burden of a long edi-
torial published in the Emporia Ga
zette the other day and telegraphed
to the Kansas City Star for simulta-
neous appearance in that great moral
guide.
We really are shocked to find the
Trooly Good Mr.. White. the Kansas
mouthpiece of The Colonel, attempting
to influence another statesman of
High Ideals by holding up before him
the bait of reelection. What does
Bristow care for reelection? Our I'M
derstanding, from a close reading of
the Emporia Gazette, is that he stands
for the three P's-Principle, Progress
and People. OF course, If the people
demand that he serve them six more
years in the Senate. why he will do
1t. But to swerve one hairs breadth
from the political course he thinks
right in order to secure such indorse-
ment from the people-why, William.

They say the average life of the

Not being scientist or a statistician
hadn't noticed that. But being a
woman 1 have noticed that the aver

In our grandmother's day a gown

and was unQuestionably worn out.
In our mothers day the life of a
gown believe they were dresses
then-was not quite so prolonged.
They were seldom made over more
than once, and were laid away when
they became shabby. instead of actual
ly worn out.
In our day dress Is almost never
made over, and is laid away because
the style has changed slightly or be-
cause we think our friends must be
tired of seeing it.
In our daughters day,-well, one
shrinks from prophesying how long
will be the life of a gown then. and
for what trivial causes it will be con-
demned to the rag-bag.

be congratulated sensibly, says the
Springfield, Mass. Republican, on hav-
ing refrained from passing an antittp-
ping law. Legislating about trif1es
has become a passion, and the first m
stinct of a reformer is to get new
law passed. Tipping. may be a null
sance. but it is not a crime nor a
menace. If the public objects it can
put an end to it almost in day by
refusing to tip or to patronize places
where tipping is practiced. That the
practice fiourishes may be taken as in
that the public does not feel
enough on the subject to take
action. Legislators have work enough
in dealing with serious abuses with
out undertaking to protect the public
from trivial ills the cure for which the
public has in its own hands.
