smauner stlok BETRAYED.

A discussion, which began with ac-
tual preparedness in America and
which has continued now and again,
here and there, pro and con, was re-
vived, writes a New York correspond
ent, with the arrest of a fictitious army
officer, who, let it be known here, car
ried a swagger stick. The question,
"Why, oh, why, do they carry them?"
was intensified by the fact that one of
the detectives asserted in English that
had it not been for the swagger stick
he would never have suspected the
camoufiage captain. Luck was with
the detectives, and when the prisoner
was taken to police headquarters he
admitted he was not captain at all,
but a bold, bad young man who had
been telling naughty lies and stealing
automobiles and other knick-knacks
ever since war was declared. However,
he Indignantly asserted that he was IL
legally arrested to begin with, for the
reason that army officers do not wear
swagger sticks right now. He seemed
to think that his arrest shouldn't count,
inasmuch as the detectives were mis-
taken in their first and most important
clue.

It had been the credulous mans busy
day. Furthermore, his stenographer
was out with smallpox, and the credu-
lous mans own vaccination was just
beginning to "take." So when two
handsomely gowned women boarded
the car near Tenth and Baltimore, the
credulous man resolved for once to re-
some reason, however-perhaps with
that womanly intuition we hear so
much about-the two women chose the
back of the credulous mans seat to
cling to, and there to carry on their
lamentations against selfish masculin-

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 Sc
lected from the ordinary walks of life,
commercial or ndustrial-rarely from
professional life. The only impressive
faculty they are supposed to have is
sane mind capable of a common-sense
conclusion upon facts submitted. and
that each mans mind will be brought to
a unanimous conclusion, but in the ef
fort to accomplish this the thirteenth
juror takes part; he is 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 it by one
who knows what he Is talking about,
and when the twelve jurors retire to
the consultation room they carry with
them a mental influence so impressive
that 1t cannot be easily dismissed; it
enters into and necessarily becomes
part of the evidence they are called
upon to consider.

DISTINCTLY WAS NOT 20. K"
Physician Discovered Few Things
Wrong With Man Who Had Be-
lleved Himself Well.

There was recently an article in the
American Magazine in which a writer
told how to live and linger longer. In
one part Of it, the author told of a man
who thought he was o. K. until he was
examined by doctor. This is what
the man said:
"'My arteries had thiekened. (The
letter had stated that, but it meant
nothing to me.) That is, their cover
ing had grown thicker and less elastic.
In a healthy man they wouldn't have
begun to do this until forty years or
more. If they kept on at the rate they
were going they would be stiff before
many years. "Pipestem' arteries he
called them. That meant disturbance
In the circulation that had already be-
gun and had already threatened my
heart More than that, these defects
in circulation had thrown a heavier
burden upon my kidneys. Constipa-
ton and its results, that is, the reten-
tion of poisons In the body, had put
another load on the overburdened kid
neys, until the excretions from them
showed plainly that they couldn't carry
that load and work well. And then,
to cap the whole thing, had tooth

earmarks of one with an abscess at the

Ones Friends.

On an around-zero day, Rosario was
walking home from work with
friend. They met a newsboy, and Ro-
sario's friend asked Rosario to lend
him a cent to buy a paper with. So
Rosario took off his gloves, unbuttoDed
his overcoat, sweater and coat, and
shiveringly extracted cent from his
waistcoat pocket. The paper was
bought. Then a block or so farther
on they entered store to make pur-
chase.
And In the store Rosario's friend re-
turned the cent he had borrowed. He
explained that 1t was too cold to take
his glove off and get 1t when they were

BANK EXCHANGE IN ECUADOR
Rate Is Established by President,
Who Alone Is Empowered to
Make Such Ruling.

A recent law promulgated in Eeua-
dor attempts to regulate the bank rate
of exchange as regards drafts to and
from foreign countries. 1t provides
for an advisory board to the president,
presided over by the governor Of
Guayas and composed of delegates
from the chambers of commerce OF
Guayaquil and Quito, the Agricultural
association, each of the banks of issue,
and the national bank inspector The
recommendations made by this board,
according to Commerce Reports, may
or may not be acted upon by the pres
ident, who alone is empowered to es-
tablish the legal rate of exchange;
and any person selling at a higher
rate is liable to prosecution, with a
penalty of ten times the excess
charged
Export duties, including all sur
charges, may be paid by checks or
sight drafts on foreign markets where
the goods are exported, taking as a
basis the value of the pound sterling
in the New York market The drafts
mentioned must be sold by the customs
collectors at the prices paid for them.
The purchase of foreign drafts is
at present very materially restricted,
owing to the scarcity Of funds in other
countries; and it is generally believed
that the present law will increase the
difficulties.

CeiNe proper recognition in the near

This young man, when the OPP
pOrtunlty comes, as 1t does many
times during the day, distributes
through each car on the train WaG
Saving Stamp wrappers and then
takes the time TO make an appropri-
ate talk in each car on the subject
Of every man, woman and child in
our country doing his or her part to
help win the war.
After making the talk he goes
through the car soliciting every one
personally to purchase War Savings
stamps, apd the result Of his efforts
is the sale Of from $50 to $50 worth
Of War Stamps every day.
This young man is just past the
draft age. He has a wife and child
to support and the war work which
he can do is limited. He was not
born in the United States but be-
came a citizen Of the United States
by taking the oath of allegiance
and renouncing his allegiance to the
King of England. A telling part OF
his talk comes in his repeating the
oath of allegiance.
He calls attention to the fact that
perhaps native born citizens who dc
not take a similar oan are not inn
pressed with their duty as citizens OF
the Great Republic as are at least
some allen born, naturalized citizens
and this leads to the thought why
would 1t not be a good plan to es-
tablish an appropriate ceremony for
all young men upon reaching theiI
majority that would make a lasting
impression on their minds as to the
duties and responsibilities Of citi-
zenship.
