The Newspaper Law.

There is no longer any reason
why any person should be an
unwilling subscriber TO a news
paper.
On the refusal of a subscriber
to take a newspaper from the
post office, the postmaster Is re-
quired, under the postal laws. to
return the same to he publisher.
You are no doubt aware that a
person who continues to accept
a paper sent him through the
mail is liable for the subscription
price, regardless of the fact
that he never subscribed for it
or that he has ordered it stopped.
So held by the supreme court of
Iowa Q03 Iowa 6Sl); by the sup
rene court of New Hampshire
GA N. H. 115); by the supreme
court of Delaware g Harr. 379)
by the supreme court of Wiscon-
sin (7S Wis. l76). See Amer.
and, Eng. Enc of Law q Edit,
P. 1907. This is the law gener-
ally.

Hung juries help nobody but on
the contrary hinder and delay
business to the injury of some
person who cannot help himself.
1t looks to an outsider and disin-
terested person like those of you
who have prevented a verdict
have not thought of your duty to
your state and county that gives
you protection, nor thought of
what you owe to society and the
community In which you live;
but it does appear that some of
you have determined that you
will have your way even though
you may be in the wrong.
| have kept you together now
a week 10 these little cases that
you ought to have decided in a
few minutes, and if, by keeping
you together this unusual time,
any of you have suffered pain or
anguish. am truly sorry, for |
felt it my duty to do what | have
done If any of you have con-
ceived the idea that you have
the court into a sub
mission to your unwarrantcd
and unauthorized course. let me
suggest that you disabuse your
mind at once OF any such
thought. | have not tried to
force you to do anything but
hoped. | guess against fate, that
you would at last be men and
come back and discharge your
solemn duty.
At least one wholesome lesson
has come out of this matter that
IS satisfactory to the court. The
public can now take the correct
measure of men who want to d.
their duty and those who do not,
and the blame will rest where it
rightfully belongs. Your plea
that you honestly could not agree
will not be accepted as suffi-
,ient reason 1t may satisfy |
some. You may not be through
with these cases yet. Your
weeks deliberations have been
farce and a traversity upon
Justice. You will now be dis
charged.

The Bonnu Laddu.

He was sure a bo1ny daddy,
Bright and gay.
Wealthy were his ma and daddy,
Rich [ say
Yet one day they made mound
In the fresh, clean-smelling
ground,
And amid the church bells sound
There he lay.
Oh, his doctors were some power
In the land,
And it took a precious dover
For their hand.
But they drugged the lad with
pills,
Drummed the parents with big
bills,
Then away to newer kills,
Smooth and bland.
Medics old.fashioned did try
For more fame;
And they watched the daddy die
Without shame;
Windows closed to Natures air,
Food far more than flesh could
bear,
Poisons cruel and potions rare
Played the game.
Now the bright and bonny daddy
Sleeps in clay;
Mourn the mother and the daddy
Night and day,
And aloud they call in pain,
Call aloud. but all in vain,
Out beneath the falling rain,
Does he lay.

he'Once ruled as president.
Col Roosevelt, hero of the battle
of San Juan hill, is hurrying to a sea-
port from the interior of Brazil to get
in touch with the United States by
wireless, cable and mail. When he
reaches the coast city, he will use all
three to offer his military experience
to the country which honored him
with the presidency.
He may be given command of a
force, approximately brigade. AS a
soldier he will serve. under the COM
mand of Major General Leonard
Wood, the commander-in-chief of the
United States forces in the field.
Roosevelt, as president, made Cen
eral Wood, giving the young surgeon
his chances and his rapid promotions
till he reached the rank he now holds.
When the diplomatic relations be-
tween the U. S. and Mexico first
strained toward breaking, Col Roose-
welt received news by carrier and
chaffed at his enforced inactivity at
such time.
When the news of the occupation
of Vera Cruz reached the interior of
South America, the colonel broke all
engagements, pulled tent stakes and
started on his strenuous journey.
Speculations are rife concerning
the post which will be given to Col.
Roosevelt by President Wilson. His
former great Office of president of the
United States will be added to his
record as a soldier under active serv-
ice in Cuba in influencing the result.
He is the country's most distin-
guished recruit.

source of embarrassment to large
number of people interested in the com

The road work is held up in both Polk
