A VOLUNTEER JURYMAN
By CHARLES H. MANDY

In times of war it is undoubtedly true that one volunteer is worth 10 pressed men, but it is much different in times Of peace and volunteer may not only prove a nuisance but may cause embar- rassinE complications. An incident of this character occurred yesterday in the circuit court of Jeffersoa county in which volunteer juryman came near "balling' things up and causing delay in the trial of an important case.
 As is well known. several juries are organized in each court for the week. in order to keep the courts at work and to give opposing counsel sufficient juryment to strike or select jury. On Wednesday afternoon a jury was se- lected to try damage suit in the divl- sion presided over by Judge E- C. Crow As there were quite a number of wit nesses the case was sti;. pending when the time for adjournment came 50 the jury was excused until 9:S0 the following day.
 The next morning enc of the extra jurors walked into court and took a seat in the jury box. One by one the regular jurors came in and took seat in the box and by the time the court con. vened every seat was occupied, the vol. unteer" juror being one of the number Judge Crow observing the jury box filled ordered the trial to proceed and ordered the extra Jurors to reuort to the other division of the court over which Judge C. B. Smith presided.
 Just as the court ~as called to order the missing regular juror came into the courtroom and seeing that his place was filled and that the other jurors had been sent to the other division, concluded that Tor some reason his services had been dispensed with, so he went to Judge smiths court and when the jury was impaneled he was selected as one of the number. and was given seat in the box in that division.
 Both trials were in progress at the noon hour and the juries were sent to

and on that occasion he gave his age
as twenty-four, and that of Miss
Thompson as twenty. This calls at
tention to the discrepancy of several
records concerning the early life Of
Mr.. Sunday. According to the infor-
nation on file at the orphan asylum,
Mr.. Sunday was born in 1852; accord
ing to the biographical sketch in
who's Who" which is usually very
accurate, he was born in 1863, while
the deduction from the records of his
marriage license would make his birth

If the mother, finds that she cannot
control this vomiting, say in eight or
ten hours, she should send for the fam
| lily physician. 1t may be a symptom
of some acute illness, like measles,
pneumonia, scarlet fever, etc.
Diarrhea, especially when the baby
is teething, strikes terror to the mater
nal breast
Treatment must be prompt and firm.
All food must be stopped at once, and
a cathartic must be given immediate
ly. Castor oil is the safest and most
soothing cathartic for young children
Up to six months, the dose is tea
spoonful of oil. After that table
spoonful may be administered with
good results. If the small stomach
will not retain the oil, give calomel IN
the same dose prescribed for vomit
ing. This treatment will suffice until
doctor is summoned. Sometimes 1t
proves so efficacious that physician
is not required.
But better far than curing diarrhea
is preventing it.
It is generally caused by unclean
milk and wrong food. Keep the milk

Chapter VIII.

It was in Chicago as under-secretary
Of the Y. M. G. A. that DR.. j. Wilbur
Chapman first met Mr.. Sunday. The
earnestness and sincerity of the young
man and particularly his close sympa-
thy with the masses made a strong
impression upon the evangelist and
led to the offer of position to travel
with him as an assistant. Those who,
in later days, chose to contrast the
methods of DR.. Chapman and Rev. Mr..
Sunday often failed to take into &C.
count the difference in personal tenn
permanent and doctrine of the two
men. Although they parted company
after two years they have always
maintained friendship and shown an
interest each in the work OF the other,
There can be no doubt that the two
years spent with Dr. Chapman were OF
great educational benefit to the aspir
ing evangelist. DR.. Chapman was not
only a thorough Bible student but a
magnetic speaker and a good organ
izer; he had developed at that time
his peculiar capacity for doing great
deal of work in a short space of time
capacity in which the student prob
ably outstripped the master In later
years but which at the time was val
liable training.
Mr.. Sunday frequently refers to his
period with Dr. Chapman in his ad
dresses and always in the spirit Of the
greatest appreciation. DR.. Chapman
then, as in later years, confined his
efforts largely to cities of considerable
magnitude. One episode to which Mr.
Sunday is fond of alluding has to dc
with campaign in indianapolis. On
that occasion President Benjamin Har
rison and his daughter were In the
audience and 1t became possible for
Mr.. Sunday to extend in person an
invitation to the president to occupy
seat upon the platform. The argu'
ment which the young evangelist used
and which finally proved effectual was
that the spectacle of man so gener'
ally known and so generally reyered
