THE MOST ORIGINAL CLUB IN
AMERICA.

A writer in the June American
Magazine says
There exists in one of our great
western cities unique secret club
called by the members, the Get-Out
and Get-On club. 1t was organized
seventeen years ago by ten ambitious
men who looked upon themselves as
not yet having won success. Member
ship for twelve years has been limited
to fifty. The rules are what makes
this club different No member may
call himself a success until the club
votes him one, and when the club
votes any member a success, he is ex.
PEELED and his place is filled by an.
other. But before success is expelled
a dinner is given in his honor and to
welcome the new member. At this
dinner the success must read a paper
explaining to his fellows how and why
he won. These papers are preserved"

THE pEsERTER.

The deserter has hard time of it
wherever he is located. In Holland
there are few of the deserters from
the German army. They were intern
ed there with the kaiser's subjects
who had been forced across the line
while fighting. The warriors, though,
held the deserters in such contempt
that life was miserable for them and
they were compelled to submit them
selves to all manner of insults. The
Dutch government did not know what
to do with them. Finally, after the
men had deserted the camp, they were
arrested. Then followed the court
martial proceedings and they were
given term of few months in pris-
on Now the international lawyers
are looking over the case. They have
about concluded that the fellows are
non-combatants and are entitled to
their liberty.

ing the death Of Yuan Shi Kali Direct
dispatches from China and Japan,
however, have given the impression
that notwithstanding the unsettled
conditions OF the last few months, no
serious disorders were expected. In
fact 1t was felt that the death OF the
president would have the result OF
ending the revolution.
Tien Tsin is treaty port about
seventy miles southeast OF Peking
There is q small American force In
Tien Tsin to guard the legation.
There is also small force in Picking.
Hale May Take Men.
Washington, D. c., June S.--Twelve
hundred men of the fifteenth infantry
under Col. Harry C. Hale, stationed
in Tien Tsin and along the railroad
between there and Picking. and lega-
ton guard Of $50 marines. constitute
the American military force In China.
1t was said at the war department
Col. Hale might take any part Of this
force to Picking in an emergency. He
prepared to act as soon as he heard
OF President Yuan Shi kai's death.
3 State department advices from Pc
king have indicated remarkably qui-
escent state OF the Chinese public.
The foreign military commanders OF
the international guards In Picking
have been in conference, however, re-
garding necessary military measures
to deal with possible disorder in con-
3nection with the influx into the lega-
ton quarter Of large numbers OF Chi
nese seeking refuge.

prevailing, man who has read the
papers and therefore knows Of the
case as therein reported, is disquali-
fed. Having daughter or son Is a
serious obstacle to jury service in this
case. Practically every worth while
attribute in man disqualified him In
the eyes of one or the other faction.
The desire in this instance seemed
to be to have jury composed Of men
who do not read, who do not know
what is going on in the world and men
who show no evidences of decision.
Would you hire such men to decide
anything for you?
Yet the state hires them to decide
matters of life and death.

SHELLS AND NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Many iron factories can be readily
changed into ammunition plants but it
is claimed that those manufacturing
the parts for cream separators will
require the least additional equipment.
One large factory in Vermont had
been making cream separators and
other dairy tools, almost all of which
had been shipped to Sweden. The war
stopped the demand from abroad and
there was not enough market in this
country 1t was found that by a slight
change in the size of the iron patterns,
the machines making the cream sep
arator parts could turn out iron shells,
for which there is now tremendous
demand. The whole resources of the
former dairy utensil plant are now
being taxed to turn out an order for
a million dollars worth of shells fer
the Russian government.

London, June 8.-An Exchange Tele-
graph dispatch from Tien Tsin, China.
says that the U. 8. troops at that
place have been ordered to hold them
selves in readiness to proceed to Pc
king.
The dispatch also says the French
authorities already have dispatched a
strong force of native troops from the
French protectorate at AMMAN to Pc
king. A delegation of officers Of the
bodyguard of the new president, LII
Yuan Hung, has assured him of the
fealty of the guard.

otrR JURY STANDARD.

The law says that any man, VINO IS
accused OF crime, has right 10

tharsmon. become the judges OF the
facts and the evidence and return .
verdict OF guilt or innocence accord
ing TO their conclusions, based upon
the testimony submitted.
It is quite evident that Jurors must
he ,ufnciently intelligent to MAKE
,rroney decisions on some very wefghty
matters. Unless we can assume tha'
III. lur~men are sufficiently intelll-
~4nt and sufficiently moral to decide
what is right and what is wrong, what
ia fact and what is not fact, what IS
truth and what is fault. then our 1uries
fail Of their purpose. Men cannot De
too intelligent to make good jurors
thew can not be too fair minded, they
cannot be too accustomed to making
mental decisions, they cannot be too
practiced in arriving at proper con-
clusions after hearing the evidence.
And yet, In spite of these facts
which cannot be controverted, what
do We see when it comes time TO
pick jury for some important case?
Ia an effort made to secure intelligent,
fair minded men, used to making de-
cisions In matters of business or. work
any kind? Is the effort made to get
men who keep themselves posted on
all things by reading?
Is the man whose mind is blank;
who does not read the papers; who
has never been In or interested in a
court action: who does not know the.
opposition attorney, or any OF his lam
ily or any Of his relatives; who has no
opinion on the right or the wrong OF
anything, the most desirable juryman ?
A case at hand, is the Orpet murder
trial at Waukegan, Ill, wherein
vounx man stands accused of murder
ing a girl he is alleged to have wrong
ed and then cast aside. More than
twelve hundred men were examined
for Jury service in an effort to get the
necessary dozen. The veniremen were
drawn with great care. They repre-
sented the best classes Of men in
pros perous and goodly section OF
Illinois. The twelve men were not
secured for twenty days.
