The Thirteenth Juror.

What is the influence of the thir.
teenth Juror upon the other twelve
Jurors? asks Willis Barnes in Case and
Comment. Here are twelve men So
lected from the ordinary walks Of life,
commercial or ndustrial-rarely from
professional life. The only impressive
faculty they are supposed to have is q
sane mind capable Of q common sense
conclusion upon facts submitted. and
-seht each mans mind will be brought to
Q unanimous conclusion. but In the ef-
fort to accomplish this the thirteenth
Juror takes a part; he 10 looked upon
as one learned in the law and neces-
sarily learned In the skillful analysis Of
evidence: the jury listens to this an.
alysis and the color put upon 1t BY one
who knows what he IL talking about
and when the twelve Jurors retire to
the consultation room they carry with
them q mental influence 90 impressive
that Il cannot be easily dismissed; 1t
enters into and necessarily becomes Z
part Of the evidence they are called
upon to consider.

No "May1owersr In Iondon7


II there are in England any de-
scendants of the little band of Pilgrims
who sailed in the Mayfiower 298 years
ago, they are difficult to discover. An
American woman living in London has
been trying to find them, and with that
object she inserted advertisements
asking any "Mayfowers" now in Lon.
don to meet her at hotel at certain
hour.
The appointed hour came. and the
American woman waited. A moving
picture photographer, several newspa.
per photographers and a dozen report.
ers arrived and were mistakenly and
enthusiastically greeted as Mayfiowers.
There was an air Of eager expectancy
and suppressed excitement. Every
body waited for As minutes. but not q
single Mayflower appeared. There
were signs of disappointment.
"But there must be some Mayflow-
ers in London" said the American
woman to the reporters. II can't be
the only One." She looked again at
the door, but there was no sound Of
footsteps and the meeting adjourned.

Bohemia went through some Of the
most barbarous Of the German re-
]iRious wars in the sixteenth and sew
enteenth centuries. Between 1917 and
1887 the Bohemian population was re-
duced from 10000 900 to 10000 BY the
ravages Of execution and exile, says
Richard Wilmer Rowan in Worlds
Work. The Czech language was ban
ished from the Bohemian school room
in favcr Of the German by the other
wise liberal Maria Theresa Just two
years before our American declaration
Of independence. Czech riOting signal
ICED the upheavals in 1848 that drove
Metternich and his fellow reactionaries
to timely seclusion. Yet the Aus
gleich or Austro-H Hungarian compro-
mise Of 1867 found Bohemia still re-
fused the national recognition it de-
manded.

FinIand's New FIas.

The Russian revolution will probably
result in lengthening the list Of the
worlds flags by several additions. Fin
land. which, since March, has ceased
to he grand duchy and has declared
her independence and status as a re.
public, has now decided on her national
coiOrs. She will have three different
standards: the national nag. the nag
Of the merchant service. and that Of
the pilot and customs services. Tho
national colors are those which Were
acclaimed at the time Of the revolu-
tion. the yellow lion Of Finland sur
rounded by nine white roses on q red
ground. The nag Of the merchant
service viii have q yellow perpendicu-
lar cross on . red ground and in the
top right-hand corner, nine white roses
get symmetrically In three rows. The
pilot and customs services dag will b0
the same, except that 1t will carry the
yellow of Finland instead Of the white
roses.

Rebuilding German Population.

Rebuilding German Population.
All questions relating to rebuilding
Of the shattered Germanic popula-
lions engage unceasing attention.
There has just been another German
Austro-Hungarian medical congress
on the subject In Berlin. Eminent
physicians and surgeons pointed out
that. while there was q vast deal that
their profession and the public health
authorities could do to help In the re-
population Of the two states. liberal
social legislation BY their govern
ments was an equally important fac
tor. Education must be cheapened,
the cost Of living, % far ~ rearing
children 10 concerned, must be ro-
duced by every possible means; tax
alton must be readjusted % that the
lower and middle classes will hence
forth bear the minimum burden:
housing reform was urgently called
for, and ways and means had to b.
found for permitting more people to
share the benefits Of food-producing
land.

American Shoes for Japan.

American Shoes for Japan.
Japanese women are not so quick
to adopt occidental styles as are Jap.
anese men, but the upper-class women
do wear modern dress and footwear
at social functions where European or
American women are likely to be pres.
ent In any considerable number.
with effort a few American shoes
can be sold in Japan now, and the
effort ought to be made for the good
Of the future. for the market will un.
doubtedly be inviting within the next
ten or fifteen years." says c. E. Bos.
worth, trade commissioner of the bu-
reau Of foreign and domestic com.
merce. Although there are many
shops where modern footwear is made.
there are few places where 'ready-to.
wear footwear is stocked. Commercial

Titled Lady q, Shoemaker.


It Is. an interesting fact that, al.
though the women Of the United King
dom have invaded most employments
that formerly were followed chiefly by
men, the shoemaking trade has not e1-
perienced much change In this respect.
Yet, something over a hundred years
ago. shoemaking was one of the "em-
plOyments of high society" In London.
Lady Sarah Spencer, in a letter to her
brother, written about the year 1908,
says: "1n the evening we divide our
time between music and shoemaking.
which is now the staple trade of the
family. I am today in state Of great
vanity. for have made pair of shoes

Lumber company near Perkins. short

q desperate encounter with huge owl
at night.
His first warning Of the attack was
when he was struck on the head and
his fur cap pulled of. The great claws
O. the bird next were fastened to his
skull and his face.
After desperate fight in the dark
the man succeeded in securing good
hold on the owl and killed II nv dash

The person who has repeated chin.
