JUROR WITH WHISPERS.
Why He is not Favored by Lawyers

The remarks of Judge Willard M.
McEwen before the States attorneys

that lawyers for the defence in crimi-

ors' decisions called forth these sug-
Gestions by State Attorney John e.
w. Wayman and Attorney Charles e.
Erbstein
1T is true that a feeling exists,
among lawyers to the effect that
man with whiskers is an undesirable
juror" said Mr.. Wayman. 81 confess
l don't know the specific reason for
1t. and in fact must admit that the,
best case ever won was a case where
the foreman of the jury had whiskers
all over his face. So did the man
who hung the jury for the defence In
the first Cronin trial. The ancient
Greeks believed that a man with
whiskers was endowed with bravery,
and perhaps the present superstitution
Is traceable to the ancient belief"
"All men wore whiskers in the old
Bible countries in the days when
judgments were unrelenting," said
Attorney Erbstein. "a strict adher-
ent to the ancient laws of Moses
might be unyielding and be stern. It
is on the principle that a Jew with
whiskers Is likely to be orthodox. I
don't want men with whiskers ON
juries that try cases for me-"
The jury experts went far in the
way Of sweeping aside the impress
sion that benevolence goes with "old
gentlemen with whiskers."

panaer of Street EoothaII.

While waiting for tram at Saint
Maur last winter a number of foot
ballers of the Club Sportif Interna-
tional began to kick the ball about
the street. An Ill directed shot drove
the ball through the window of a
cafe and the broken glass blinded a
young girl who was sitting inside.
The father of the injured young girl
sued the players of the club for
damages, but the court dismissed the
suit on the ground that the plaintiff
should have designated the person
responsible for the accident.-Paris

SHOW Be
HELD IN January
Fancy Stock Will Be Shown al
the Dickinson Exhibition
Next Month.

Dickinson, N. D., Dec. 12.-At a spe
cial meeting Of the Missouri Slope
Poultry Association held at the Com
mercial club rooms, the dates for the
big poultry show to be held in Dick
inson were set for January ~, %
and 20, 1915. A large number of
poultry enthusiasts we're present, ana
every M is anxiously anticipating
the big show. The officers and CON-
mittees are very busy completing ar
rangements, and have secured the
use of the armory, where the show
will be held.
The services of E. G.. Roberts, a
licensed judge with years Of exper-
fence to his credit, have been secul-
ed and the exhibitors will be assured
a fair and impartial awarding of priz-
es. Mr.. Roberts is from Fort Akin
son, Wis.
The premium list has already gone
to press and will be ready for distri-
button in a few days. The member
ship is increasing with leaps and
bounds, many coming in from outside
points, and is already nearing the
fifty mark, although the association
has been in existence only a few
weeks, and it is expected to have a
membership of one hundred Or more
within the next month or two.
Exhibits at the mid-winter show
on the dates announced above, are
open to anyone anywhere, regardless
of membership. Encouragement Is
being received daily from exhibitors
in othe r points and from present in
dications the first show bids fair to
beat any other ever held in this sec.
ton of the country. Some very fan
cy stock will. undoubtedly be exhib-
tied, and fanciers of poultry or any
one interested in it should not fail to
attend. Further announcements will
be made later.

Breeding OF FUR
r@-
BEARING ANIMALS
Experiments Will be Carried on
With Several Species of
Animals.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 12.-Up to
the present time experiments in
breeding fur bearers have been car
ried on only with minks and martens.
At the two stations-Prichard, Idaho,
and the National Geological Park
minkS have been bred, and the heal
thy condition of the young animals
promises success. The stock of mar
tens was secured too late for the an
imals to breed this season. In the
coming year it is intended to add rae
coons, skunks, and possibly foxes to
the list of animals to be included in
these experiments.
During the spring an assistant Wis
tied New Brunswick, Prince Edward
Island. and other portions of the east
ern British Provinces and New Eng
land for the purpose Of studying the
rearing foxes and other fur bearers.
Data on improved methods of raising
foxes will soon be published, to bring
up to date preliminary information
furnished in 1908 in Farmers Bulle-
tin 1923, Silver Fox Farming.
Moleskins have been extensively
used in this country during the last
few years in making fur garments,
and practically all of the supply has
been imported from Europe. In the
belief that the common mole of east
ern United States produces fur of
equal value, skins we're submitted to
professional furriers, who stated that
the quality is superior to the foreign
product. A report on two economic
status of the eastern species was pub
lished during the year. The mole in
habiting the northwestern coast is
larger than the common eastern spe-
cies, and a number Of these have
been collected in order to obtain a
report on the quality of the pelt. If
the texture of the fur proves to be as
good as that of the eastern animal,
there is no reason why trappers
should not secure a good income by
capturing these animals, as the area
they inhabit is extensive. In many
localities an acre of ground supports
as many as a hundred individuals.
If this little animal can be profitably
trapped for its fur the problem OF
freeing agricultural areas from it
can practically be solved.
