I was perfectly satisfied with my condition : had all the rights I cared for: in fact. was entirely indifferent to woman's bal- js-rance men when eleetion day came that. Womanlike. I reasoned : "If women could only vote they would not simply pray. 'LpI save the drunkard,' but would put their vote toward it, too." While I was, rbicken-Iike, just breaking my shell. of (!, asa ( hristian my duty was plain w hatever the result might be. With this idea la-fore me my mind was made up; Isit judge of my surprise when I found that the mind iW mit other women was not settled on the subject. While 1 was thus perplexed and surprised I was one day summoned fpuu my room ; a gentle man hat! ralle-L I Pa to confmnt a stranger, who said : "Madame, I am the Sheriff of King county. This is Mrs. Thomas, I presume'' I have railed to notify you to appear at the Court House to serve as a juror." " Why, sir, I am not fit to serve on the jury," I stantiueretL "Why niadame , what reaia-n have you to offer?" "Why," I replied, "I aai Dot capable . you want s mieone who can kvp tr.u k of j both si.les 4 the case, art. 1 Ihen have j ju-ltrment and dijaTiuiination." " Have yni noiherexeuseT If not v. n J must allow n.e to 1 the j-idtr ." and he erv .itelv Mtwed hinwlf xtt. leaving j me in -iich a state of bewilderment as I ; never b -fore ex perienceil. My trembling jkrvvsathus tir-t a ;-aran.-e had t Ie 1 graphed the purport of his nieije but I concluded that mv case was a hope!- one as far as the Sheriff was o.m-erne.1. j But I would go to Jude .ireene. be j would let me otf. Well, I did go. After j listening to my excuses he smi'eil and I swid it wasixit of his powerto excuse Hie. j and if it were in his power he would not let me oiT, f.-r I was the riitht r.n to be there. If any poor woman's mind went through a kaleidom-npu- experiem-e ! the interrening ilay it was mine. The dreaded morning came, and I went to my doom. Such a p!aie the "..urt House apian-d t me. Tin- i. t th.it lawyers had objected to Women ol the tirund Jury the previous ilay did not liettcr things There were no special obj-tions mad that day, and after certain forms of law had been dL-piw.l of a gambling case wax called up. I was also called to serve, but was objected to. Trulv. what next I , iniri simp steppe. 1 out of that jury box and tried to tind a corner. 1 didn't know w hether to feel slighted or compliment ed. I was sure of onlv one thing, I was not wanted on that case. But I sunn had 1 some coniwiny ; one two more ladies were called off. and as they left what ! a smile passed over the face of the law- vers! But more ladies were in the jury i Isix, so they gave that up. The case was : heard, and conviction followed. Nt several men crime to plead guilty in sim t iiar ins, by advice of lawyer, and s the work Went on. There were seventeen ' t-.trss. at that term of court and thirteen : convictions; four forfeited latil. I sat j through a term of five weeks; was on two ca--- w hich lavupicd a week each and j was lis ked up. We were al! !i ked up ; all niht on a Chinese cose, and a we . (Kissed into court next day some of our fellow townsmen in court were int.-rt-.ted . to s-e how the Women st.an! it. The verdict wnsthat we I.ki-d orvht j er and ! tt. r than the men. We were i also escorted several times through the st nt-ts by court officials to meals at l'n cle ani's e-nse. On one t-a.se whi. h wet..k down into the jury risim the (.al lot -t.l eleven to one, with the blissful prosis-ct of -tay ing out ail night, as it w is i lea riv a rase of eleven ols-tinate jurors. But w ben certain transactions cr-pt out, : and a woman pr-.tt-stcl that she Would n..t la- a party to cover up the fai t should they return to court, twelve Votes were i ca-t the text time and the rase w.is sett!e.i. The men were all that could be di-sins! i with the exception of one, w! to insisted ! that a "real nii-e woman would not'sit mi li... I,,-.. 11 1.. l.;,..0..ir ... .... spiciious in his etlorts to let ttieui have enough of it." But somels-iy else g- t tired of him la-fore long, and he was ex cused from further servii-e before half the term was over. At the commence ment of the term the intr !uetion of wo men into the jury la-x caused some anx iety to the older and most experienced gentlemen jurors, but at its cI.m-. they ex-pp-ssed themn-lves unqualifiedly pleased and satisfied. There was a littie change in that er-t.d.li.-hiuent. ToUtcco smoke cigars and spitt.ams di-ipiearel la-lore the rctles knitting needle, and ladies paraphernalia were seen in many part of the Court House where sut h thing j were never seen l-fore. Tniiv. the change was a great improvement in the sanitary conditions of that important in- stitutmn. Boat Building. Isutt Imilding is by no means one of the "Iia-t arts," although in this age of steam and inn, the "gil old days" of the ship-abuilders are a thing of the J-a.-t. Of kite years, however, there has t-cn a mark. si increase in the trade, and al though the trade is confined principally to yachts and smaller craft, the steady gpiwth of this branch 'if boat-building offers excellent inducements to any young man whose tastes lie in that direc tion. I know of one boy at.'least, now six teen years of ago. who intends to fit him self during the next five or six years for the ta-enpation : and his father, a promi nent and highly successful naval an hi-te.-t, believes that then is a very ppunis ing future for American laatt-huilding. I take it f..r granted that the fitun l at-bni.er has. as a Imy. la-en fond of Ism's. He has not only Liken advantage of the rivers and mnds n-ar his hoti-a. has nav hrafi-d them in scow, in piwl-utt or in anil-taut, but I will su;.-e that, from the time he has la-en able to han dle a jack-knife, he has la-en a const rut t ..r of small In.ats. And, as he has gpiwn older and las-omesthe ...a-M.r of a tia.l i ie-st. or at least of 4 plane, a irauge. a mallet, a saw and a gial knife, he has APiught out miniature cutters and s. Ii.a.ners, .-ssibly a square-rigged ship, all of wiiicb have la-en milt h adtitipsj by his young ci.ruBinioii-. If it l.as !s-en his ol.jis;t in life to become a N.af buililer. he could n-.t h.ne lain latter employed during the h-.i'ra that have riot la--u taken up with sch.a.l duties.
