Impressions of a Woman Juror
Baraboo, Wis.

At the recent term of circuit court,
for the first time in Sank county
women were jurors. One of the
members has written her impression
as follows:
When one enters a field of activity
hitherto untried, like being woman
juror in the circuit court for Sank
county, there are naturally some first
impressions forcing themselves upon
one. We would not care to tell all
of these impressions but a few may
be in order.
First, we marvel that so many peo-
pie Of apparent intelligence persist
in bringing petty troubles into court
when il involves so much expense TO
the already overburdened tax payer
and when they can scarcely hope to
recover more than the fee which they
would have to pay a good lawyer.
Second, we found that folks who

have grievances, real or imaginary.
can still be heard and receive Justice,
even though their incomes are not
large and in spite of the fact that the
socialist and yellow press would have
you believe the contrary.
Third, the experience was helpful
in that it gave us an insight into
the organization aud procedure of
court and a better understanding of
the rights and duties Of citizenship.
Fourth, the splendid courtesy ac-
corded us by the court, it's officers
and attorneys, was much appreciated
and made the work comparatively easy
which would under other circum-
stances have been less agreeable. AS
an illustration of the thoughfulness
of the court he adjourned court on
Saturday afternoon, September z3rd,
to open on Tuesday morning follow
ing, and on Monday morning Juror
Foster Harrison's wife presented him
with a son. We are convinced by
this that Judge Crosby possesses wis
dom aside from that CLEANED from
law books.
Fifth, that jury service for most
persons is a sacrifice; for some be-
cause they leave more remunerative
employment and for those from
farms because the work is especially
pressing at this season of. the year.
Sixth, we admit that men make
good jurors. They listen attentively
to the testimony, are free from I'M
due prejudice, bring knowledge gain
ed by broad experience, and exercise
at least good, ordinary augment. The
practice - having them share a place
on the venire with women should be
continued.

REVERSAL OF EVOLUTION

Once farmers planted the nubbins
of their corn and the potatoes that
were too small to SELL" says DR.. Ed
win +. Slosson in Science Service.
Now they know better. They cut
up their finest potatoes to plant and
every grain of their seed corn is
pedigreed as carefully as a Colonial
Dame The result is seen in the
doubled yield in potatoes richer in
starch and corn richer in protein
Modern agriculture is fertilized by
science
"The most backward branch of
biology is the infant science of soci-
ology. 1t is only just beginning to
get its eyes open, to see things; in
time, perhaps it will be able to do
things, like the older sciences. But
there is need of haste. The age of
instinct is passing, the reign of rea-
son has not come. Man has been
pushed up to his present position. He
has succeeded, in slackening the pres

ALL FOR A KITTEN

Kindness is not dead in the
world, although some pessimistic
folks like to descant on the cold
bloodedness' of present day life".
Not long ago the elevators in the
federal building in Chicago were tied
up for a half hour, while operators,
clerks, judges and employees gave
their time and efforts to save life
that was in danger of being crushed
out.
A playful kitten had leaped onto
one of the beams of an elevator and
could neither be coaxed nor driven
from her perch. When the operators
of the lift discovered the animals
danger all business in the great build
ing came to a standstill until finally
a man managed to veach the creature
and remove it from danger. Then the
wheels of business began to revolve
again.
Only kitten! Some one remarks
that it would have been no crime if
it had been killed in order not to
obstruct business. But business is
at most but the activity of human
beings, and the handspring of hu-
manity is its heart. Well must it be
for the nation while its sympathies
are so active that it cannot see the
mangling of even a kitten in order
that its money making be not in
terrupted.
Those who know and value the
domestic cat are often astonished
and distressed by the neglect, if
not positive cruelty, with which it
is treated by many who are fairly
kind to dogs and other animals.
Many people never caution their
children to treat their cats kindly
nor explain what kind treatment is:
they eat their own meals regularly
but the poor cat is often forgotten
and left to get its own food from the
neighborhood's garbage cans.
A starved cat does not make a
good mouser. Cats should have
food regularly and fresh water of
ten. We have not yet reached the
highest form of civilization. When
We have, no respectable family will
venture to neglect any helpless yrea-
ture.-Los Angeles Herald.

Apparently snakes are more ,om-

then the snakes are more than ordi-
narily anxious to get on the pave
ment to be run over. Several were
killed in the city, last week, and
along the pavement southwest of the
city many have been noted. The
smooth paving makes il difficult for
the snakes to navigate, and possibly
is one reaon why so many saaeh-itt
is the reason why so many are run

Wheat-Crop conditions continued IA
vorable today Primary receipts and de-
lirertes on May contracts were heavy
and the foreign demand was unimpor-
played some frmness in the more de-
ferred deliveries. This was due to lit
tie buying by export interest of the
September delivery. The Atlantic sea-
ters mentioned q better feeling in the
-four trade, but it could not be called
brisk. There Is not likely to be any
pronounced domestic demand foE old
as new hard winter wheat is more desir-
able than the old for milling purposes.
There was no weakness in foreign mar
kets. The acceptance of offerings OF,
Manitobas was being done in a leisurely
way. Hard winter will have a tendency
to keep the July delivery relatively easy,
particularly so In view of the fact that
hedging sales are attractive in that
month. Because of this, it seem adyts-
able to give the September preference
when entertaining ideas of higher prices.
So far as crop outlook, receipts and
present demand are concerned, the sit
but we suggest the exercise of consider
able caution when making sales, not only
because the market has had a good de-
cline, but because the crop is lot yet
made.
Corn and Oats-The country Is begin
ming to complain of the excessixe rains
and the absence Of sunshine as prevent
Ing any making up Of lost time in corn
and oats. Because of this the markets
gained some hrmness, but it is not pos
sible to uncover any particular improve
ment In the demand or interest in the
markets. 4 little export business in
oats Is being reported each day and the
domestic distributing demand IS falI3
proportion. There seems decided ten
dency In either one Of these markets.
Proyisions-There Is said to be a brisk
trade in hog products in eastern terri
tory, which is expected to promote ship
ping demand for hogs in this market.
The market has an UNDERGONE or firmness.
