Show Among the inestimable richts won by the ladies of Colorado recently, is the right to Pit on juries. Some of them have reflected that perhaps that Is one right they might have gotten on j without. It is feared that the fair jurors might, in long continued cases, nave wasn day intervene, the baby might be sick, or he might want to draw his rations ere the verdict is maJe. Indeed the fair juroress stands aghast at the thought of being locked up all night with a lot of bad men in case of a hang, or she might "not feel very well."

This will ease up matters amazingly in the money way. If "Tug" Wilson could only get his own consent to pump up bottom facts in that Ilall letter business he would feel the relief in an instant. It must be dreadful to carry such a load on one's conscience. Colorado's legislature is running on but one wheel, but Waite is in the saddle all the same.
