RENDERED VERDICT IN RHYME
Foreman Of Texas Jury Dropped"
into Poetry.

HAN1
A correspondent calls our attention
to an interesting verdict which was
rendered in the District Court of
Travis county, Tex, in 1857. The de-
PENDANT, Frank B. Rafer, at that time
a well known citizen Of Austin, was
accused OF gambling, which was not
regarded as a very serious offense in
Texas in those early days, especially
if the offender CHANGED to be a prom
inent citizen. The prosecution was
generally treated as a pleasant jest,
but was nevertheless carried through
in earnest, and a jury composed of
lawyers brought in the following yer
dict:
We the jury. lawful men,
Fine the defendant dollars ten;
A guilty man beyond all doubt,
Let the defendant pay himself out.
Thus we've said this freezing morn.
Your obedient servant, A. o. Horne,
Foreman.
The composition of this verdict is
attributed to A. w. Terrell, who at
the time of his service on the jury
was a young lawyer. Afterward he
attained great distinction in practice,
served as a District court Judge, and
was United States minister to Tur-
key under President Cleveland. other
members Of the same jury who after
ward achieved renown were Charles
S. West, who rose to be a justice Of
the Texas Supreme court, and F. w.

Cure for Insomnia.

One who suffered from insomnia
recommends bandaging tie eyes with
a handkerchief when preparing to rest
for the night. The explanation of the
cure is that the bandage induces
sleep by driving the blood from the
eyes and relieving the strain of trying
to see in the dark.
