bored But when it was time for his
argument he arose with a determination
to show the extent of his intellectual at
tainments to those farmers who remem-
bered him in sWaddling clothes
He commenced: Far over the waters

And an old fellow in the jury box
reached out the curved end Of many

hooked the youth back into his seat and
declared in stage whisper: "You're all
balled up, sonny; this is er case er hawg

That young lawyer with the native
gift of oratory, who became known later
as master at the art of fence and parry
with polished wits, in this his first case
failed to take into consideration the per-
sonnel of his jury.
All these years, by textbook and by
word of mouth handed down, lawyers
have been learning to read juries. In the
course of time and practice it is possible
to do fairly good job of character read
ing-that Is, reading Of the material
which has been filing into jury boxes
without variation for years. But no.
where in the great law libraries of the
world nor in the memory of man is there
to be found any sort of guide for the
poor counsellor and attorney at law in
his diagnosis when he must address a
panel as Ladies of the jury"
Now Come the Women
Along with their right to vote. women
IN some of the Western states have had
the right to serve ON juries, but these
progressive helpmates of man have been
so busy with just one reform after an
other for the benefit of women and chill
dren. that they have not issued anv hand
books on the behavior of jury women And
now New York faces the innovation. bv

enactment by the Brooklyn Womens Bar

enable them to look both ways at once.
AS the most ordinary events and
things go to make up evidence it will no
longer be possible to profit by the one
sided knowledge of men. Take an in
stance in the recent Baksa trial. where
a country girl was accused of the muir
der OF a woman who kept boarding
house where she had lived A lot of time
was taken to show that certain cheap
little Tam O'Shanter hat had been worn
by the accused. The same described hat
was worn by a girl who later rented an
other room and then went off and left
hef effects, including the hat, in the
room and disappeared. There was other
evidence to establish the fact that it was

"Instead of forcing women out of
work and blocking their chances for

but Know thy jury is nightly ilnpor-
tant
About the most dsheartenng thing
lawyer experiences is the sometimes
wooden indifference of totally unemo-
tional jury-it is like talking to hole in
the Wall. But if only one of the twelve
has real heart and open mind, takes a
human interest in what is going on
and asks question or two, there seems
some hope of a just verdict. Twelve
absolutely stolid unimaginativc persons
could not be just in their conclusions re-
duced to one brief verdict about affairs
or individuals Of this everyday world.
When the cause is a righteous one
counsel for one side tries to hammer
home the fact, but as there are two sides
presented, it is safe to assume somebody
is trying to blur the vision of the iurv
so that wrong will look right and truth
fade into nothingness. That is the rea
son very old practitioners declare "the
only hope of weak case is trial by
jury. There are so many cross-eyed
tactics-.the look ne-wav-and-strike-an
other kind-that a stupid jury made up
of but one kind of "show me" brains NAV
easily and conscentously 20 wrong.
"Know Thy Jury"
There are said to be tricks practised
by some trial lawyers to obtain unfair
advantage, such, for instance, as the loud
aside or parenthetical remark, not in the
least relevant and sure to bring reproof
from the court, but depended on to affect
the opinion Of the jury; and there is the
clustering mlX-up of facts and ruled-out
evidence, the rough dragging forth of un-
important details to hide the main issue.
and the honeyed persuasion which leads
to false conclusions
1t all depends on the jury whether one
or the other method has any chance
whatever of success. To mistake the
character of the jury is usually fatal to
a lawyers cause. 1t is related of a GER
tam kentucky statesman who came from
the heart of a mountain district that on
his return from college in his calow
youth he was hurried into a courtroom
by an admirng family dependent who
needed a lawyer. The young man was
not interested in the proceedings; thew

SALMON FIGHT WAY into
FRESH WATER LAGOON

Eureka. Cal. Feb. s.-An un-
expected run" OF salmon and steel
heads followed the opening OF a
channel from Big Lagoon TO the sea
here during a recent storm. Big
Lagoon is large fresh water lake
cut OFF from the sea by narrow
barrier OF sand. During a recent
freshet the rivers raised the level OF
the lagoon to such an extent that
farms, were threatened with innun-
dation. To prevent this a channel
was cut across the sandy barrier.
The first trickle OF fresh water
had barely touched the surf when
the little stream growing every mo-
ment by erosion. was whipped into
foam by thousands Of steelhead and
salmon fighting to reach the fresh
water OF the lake.
II Is believed that the seepage ol
fresh water through the sand had
drawn thousands OF fish to the vi.
entity Of the lake. there to await ar
overflow which would carry then
over the barrier.

The better the store the better the advertising pays
Your observations in the store-world will confirm
this truth.
Publicity is bad only for bad proposition 1t is just
surely good for good one.
What is a "good store9" One that really serves the
public protecting its patrons to values, not merely
to prices.
There many stores in this city answering to that
definition completely. In every city there always
some stores that do not.
An important phase of good stores service to it's
patrons is it's newspaper advertising This should be COM
plete frank informing 1t should tell the store news as
fully as good newspaper tells the news of the day
Perhaps the best possible new policy for the good
stores of this city adopt would be that of doubling the
advessng space that they use-thus giving them ebow
room giving them bigger opportunities for telling their
patrons in detail about every selling event. about every
bargain offering about every dollars worth Of new
really good stores but adequate advertising would pay
much better
