DECIDED ON VERDICT BY LOT
Hawaiian Jury Couldn't Agree and
to Settle the Mater Drew
Clips From Hat.

Substituting the goddess of chance
for the goddess of justice, a jury In
the Honolulu circuit court few days
ago drew lots to decide the fate of
II Chinese charged with gambling,
The incident is without precedent In
the annals of the courts of Hawaii,
says the Waifuku III, - Times. The
jurors were discharged by the court
and their action branded as illegal,
inexcusable and highly reprehenslble.a
According to the story told In court,
the jury could not agree. Tired of the
prolonged and fruitless efforts to
reach verdict, 1t was suggested that
the balloting be abandoned and TINT
they draw lots Twentyfour slips of
paper were prepared, u bearing the
word Guilty and II "Not guilty."
The slips were shaken up and drawn
from hat by the Jurors, who had
agreed that the first Il slips Of one
kind drawn should determine the YER
diet. The Not guilty" slips wen and
verdict of not guilty was conse
duently returned.

LESSON FOR SUNDAY, APRIL 9TH
Lesson Title: "Jesus Sets Men
Tree"
Lesson Text: Mark 7:1-37.
Golden Text: "If therefore the Son
shall make you free, ye shall be free
indeed" John $3.50.
|. What is Freedom?
Jesus said that He came to make
men free. When are men free? There
are as many ideas of freedom as there
are national groups or almost as many
as there are individuals in the world.
Freedom in Russia today means very
different things to different groups
there. They are having a hard time
TO work out their ideals. Germany s
idea of freedom for little nations is
different from the idea of Belgium or
serbia or Roumania or Albania.
We have different ideas of freedom
in our own land: one idea for the
black man. another for the brown man
and still another for the white man.
We express our ideas differently ac-
cording to our education, and to our
religion.
In no department of life is it more
important to have real liberty than
in religion. There must be no dicta-
ton of any sort to any mans con-

up pebbles. Bogden located the place

out another mining site and pullet
led him to another.
All three claims have proved rich
in gold. The first painful of gravel

is averaging $3.50 pan, or slightly
more than $1OO a day from the three

science. He must be free to work
out his own responsibility to God and
to his fellows, always remembering
that his neighbors have rights which
he is bound to respect. Christian lib
erty is in part Gods work and In part
mans. Gods part of the work is fin
ished but mans is not. In the long
run man can never be made free with
out the help of God.
Men look forward to a time when
humanity will be free from disease,
defect and sin. SO far as we know
the world today men are not free
from these things. Various diseases
and defects are evidently the result of
sin. He forgives mems past deeds
when man repents and He gives to
every man grace for the battle against
sin in the days ahead. This is one of
the central truths of the christian
religion.

who was playing on forbidden ground.
His mother called to him to come
back. He paid no attention, so again
she called loud then louder still. The
nurse repeated the mothers command,
but there was no reply from the small
boy. Finally the mother started down
the gravel walk, calling as she went.
Suddenly the small boy turned to his
nurse and said, Tell mother not to
call any louder, I can't hear her any
way SO others can't listen because
they don't want to obey. We must
do more than listen to Christ: we
must obey him."

Famished CANNES Pounce Upon Cow

PHOENIX, AriZ. - There are wild
dogs in Arizona, dogs that are reputed
once to have been high in the ways
of civilization, but that grew tired of
the conventions of polite dog society
and wandered off to become pariahs
and outlaws after the fashion of the

g ). In letter received by AL Selby,
Malloy writes that William Haggerty,
engineer for an Arizona copper COM
pany, was treed by the pack and only
prompt action on the part of Malloy
in shooting the leader saved the situa-
ton.
Both men were interested in a min
ing property located in wild timber
ed coI.try, writes Malloy, and started
out to look over the claims. They
reached the camp on horseback and
Haggerty left Malloy in order to bring
in some horses from a nearby pas
ture.
Nalloy soon heard calls for assist
ance from his friend and on going in
to the pasture saw Iaggerty effective
ly treed by a pack OF yeiping dogs. led
by, the most vicious bulldog Malloy
had ever seen. The famished brutes
had been attacking the panicstricken
horses when Haggerty wandered up
to be attacked in turn. He took to the
trees. tH
Malloy rushed back, procured q rifle
and returned in time to see the pack
hard on the trail of terror-stricken
cow, the brindle bulldog clinging to-
naciously to her pose and another
brute ciutching the flank. The cow
fought game fight, shook off her
enemies several times. but they re-
turned to the struggle and finally
brought her to earth and to death.
Haggerty was still taking in the
situation from the tree-top. Malloy
attempted to shoot the two leaders.
but the brush prevented him from do
ing so until they discovered and made
for him. When within nifty feet he
brought down the leaders with two
shots and the rest of the pack scam
pered off.
