I mat some friends, and was introduced to an fanocent-looking yould of the manber persuasion, whose face was as vacant in ex- pression as a pound of putty, This you a bad been bragging of his powers, as a poker player and had made the others so tired that they whispered me to take the concait out of him for the fas there was in it

Of course I was to give him back whatever I wou from him. That was understood. Every time my callow friend won a pot he put the money in his pocket, and would chip in the "stuff" an be ne ded it. After he had won a respectable pile I began to get my work in, and by handling and dealing the cards in my own peculiar way I soon had ti plo ID a fair way to fanoruous deruetude.
"Occssionally I would let him win, just to keep the lun op'; and I don't know but what I erjoyed my opponent's lanecence as much as did my fiends.. But all things must have an end. Finally I cleaned him out, much to bis surprise; and then my friends really could not keep it any longeri |

PA stupid jury is unable to analyze the evidence of a complicated Arrangement sent to arbitration, and so the juror la spared the infl.ilen. Not so the litigants who generally find arbitration proceedings twice as tedious and far more costly than if they 'bad been dealt with in court. The famous Tichborne case in its two phases of claim and prosecution for perjury must have tried the jurora' patience severely. They were pold, it is true, by arrange- ment between the parlice, but bevertheless they must have 1: their enforced attendance in court species of imprisonment wearing short their lives. The present Lord Chief Justice of England | made in opposing the claim an opening speech which lasted thirty-three dayı, Nor was it prolix or irrelevant, but a model of orderly cogency and lucidly, so much so that it convinced the Jury, who announced that their minds were made up, and thus cast upon the claimant the iverse of electing to be nonsulted. Jurors who have to spend several months over a case are martyrs to the judicial system. In such extreme instances they are prob. bly released for life from
further service, and they deserve their emancipa tlon.
The mode of Imp nelling a Jury In England Impresses the average American a simplicity itself in the sense of taking every juror as honest, capable and unbiased. Before either Judge or counsel arrive in the metalng the Judge's asso- clate opens a little box filled with slips of paper and calls out, "Gentlemen of the common (or special) jury, come to the box as your Dames are called The Jurora respond with "Here |" and one by one take their seats waill the requisite twelve are assembled.
