JURORS MADE OWN CARDS
Men Manufactured Deck With
Which to Pass Away
the Time.

Playing cards, dice and checkers, all
Of their own making, was the expert
ence of a federal court jury in Sc
attic. The case was submitted 20 the
Jury a. four o'clock in the afternoon
by Judge e. f. eastman. At six
I o'clock, unable to agree. the members
OF the jury were taken to dinner, and
after their return they deliberated ON
the case until two o'clock in the morn
ing.
Deadlocked by the action of one
member, further consideration was re-
fused and one of the jurors called
upon Bailiff Tobey for deck of cards.
The request was refused. Bailiff To
bey notified the Jurors that to COM
ply with it would be to violate the
law.
Thereupon it was decided to make
their own cards, and ten of the jurors
proceeded to build deck OF cards out
Of the luncheon boxes in which they
had brought sandwiches to the jury
room, which they obtained following
their dinner and in anticipation that
sley were in for long session.
While forr then proceeded to play
pitch, another member put his hand in
one Of the pockets Of the card player
where enough Jumps of sugar were
found to make a set OF dice, he having
taken the sugar while at dinner and
placed it in his colleagues pocket
without any idea that he would find
such use for it later
Two more Of the Jurors were yet tc
be supplied, however, and these lat.
ter decided on turning a blotter they
found in the room into a checker
board, which was Immediately done, a
dance program which hung on the
wall being cut up for use as check
ers.
The nonassenting member of the
Jury and one other decided upon a
sleep. There was no further delibera.
lion on the case. the jurors continu.
Ing to play their games and sleep un.
til the opening of court the next
morning, when they reported to Judge
Neterer that they were unable to
agree. and they were discharged.

n Chilly CONCERT
BY FROG BAND
MUSICAL DENlZENS OF THE
FOUNTAIN FILL AIR WITH
THEIR MELODY.

Brunswick now has an official
weather forecasting station, although
It has no connection with the govern
ment's weather department or any
other department OF Uncle Sans. The
forecasting station is located in the
fountain in front Of the Oglethorpe
hotel and is a very simple piece of
machinery. Consisting of a number OF
long winded and sweet-vOiced frogs.
Il is claimed they never miss the
weather and that when they sing one
might as well look out for rain.
The frogs give nightly concerts
when the weather outlook is right
and the concerts are greatly enjoyed
by the hotel guests as well as the
steady stream OF passersby. Uusally
the music does not begin until late
in the night. but occasionally, by "spe.
cial request they begin their con-
cert as early at in the evening.
There is a bass, alto, tenor and So
prano and each frog is in a class by
himself, or herself, as the case may
be,
The music begins at a given signal
from a deep.throated deniZen of the
pond and one By one the others join
in. It's sleepy, purring musical
sound that floats upon the still night
air and even can be heard above the
roar and rattle of busy Newcastle

DIET DICTATOR.

The appointment of food dicta.
tor in Germany inspires the sugges-
ton that such a dietetic tyrant might
be fine thing for this country. We
have not the same desperate reason
for conserving our food supply that
blockaded Germany has, but there
are plenty of hygienic reasons.
We have been told countless times
that nearly all of us eat too much for
our health, particularly too much
meat and other proteid foods; and
yet we go right on doing it, in spite
of the fact that proteid foods are
the most expensive.
Under such dictatorship as Ger
many has established there would be
an enforced simplicity of diet that
would probably cure innumerable d.
sestive ailments and promote the ma
TONS health and efficiency. Our die
tator would operate like a family
doctor, giving orders to a family of
1O0,O00,0O0 people-and seeing that
those orders were Congratulations

APPRECIATED BY FIRE
DEPARTMENT BOYS

The efficiency of the Canon City
Fire department is very generally
recognized by the people of the com,
munity, a condition that is due as
much to the intelligent, energetic per-
sonnel of its members as to the
mechanical equipment at their com
mand. The members OF the fire de-
partment are always on the Job and
it makes no difference when a demand
is made upon them to meet an emer-
gency. whether day or night. they are
always hnny-on-the-spot ready to
deliver the goods" To be able to re-
spond promptly to such unexpected
calls as are possible to lie made upon
them at any time the firemen must of
necessity be constantly around head
quarters. Appreciating this fact lit
tie movement has been started among
the business men of the community
to make their living room and sleep
ing apartments as attractive as pos
sible by contributing artieles of com
fort for their use, as we'll as for the
adornment of the walls. The fremen
are fine housekeepers and are exem-
plars of neatness so far as their sur
roundings are concerned. The
Novels Stockton Mercantile company
recently donated the firemen a rug
for their living room and the Rau-
Emmerson Co., followed suit by pres
enting them with a table spread, for
both of which they are very grateful.
II anybody will donate them some
portieres and other things they can
use to advantage they will be thank
fully accepted.
