a Verdict I'm Rhyme.

An interesting verdict was rem
dered in the district court of Travis
county, Tex, in 1857.
The defendant, 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 prominent citizen.
The prosecution was generally
treated as a pleasant Jest, but was
nevertheless carried through in ear
nest, and jury composed of law
yers 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 young lawyer. Afterward he
attained great distinction in prac-
tice, served as district court Judge
and was United States minister to
Turkey under President Cleveland.
Other members of the same jury
who afterward achieved renown
were Charles S. West, who rose to
be justice of the Texas supreme
court, and +. w. Chandler, who be-
came one of the ablest lawyers of the
Texas bar.

How Consumption Bszins,

Consumption Away begins with a
cough that fingers. A cough that
hangs on and will not yield to the
usual treatment,-may not mean con-
sumption-but too often il does
mean this death destroyer has gain
ed footing--Rydale' Cough Elixir
is very successful in checking the
progress of throat and lung diseases.
Even consumption, yields to it's
powerful influence, if its use is be-
gan before the disease is too deep
seated. This modern scientific rem
edy, kills the germs that cause con-
sumption. 1t removes the cause
and helps nature rebuild the broken
down tissue. II you have a stub
born cough, try Rydale's Cough
Elixir, it will not disappoint you.

Saved by q VentrilOquist.

Mr.. Fred High, the well known
ventriloquist and all around enter
tainer tells the following strange
story.
At Kansas City depot, where |
was one time waiting for the train.
an lrishman sat down on q rough
box that contained a coffin. A fain.
voice was heard within the box:
oh, please, take me out of here. |
am dying" Tie freshman looked
around, and seem utterly astonish-
ed when he saw what he was sitting
upon. The voice still cried: Please
get me out of here" The freshman
said: rs the dead speaking?"
To this question he only received
the faint moan: "Oh, Obi"
The freshman called two friends
to his assistance and proposed that
they open the coffin and rescue the
dead man, as they all heard a faint
groanwithin, it was decided to remove
thelid; but as they were in the midst
OF their work, d middle-aged woman,
in widow S weeds, put in a fierce
objection. She ragged with indigna-
ton. 1t was explained TO her that
the man was not dead, that he had
called for help, but she said: II
know that my husband is dead, and
won't have him disturbed. But
the son of Erin would not allow a
mere widow to stop him in humane
work. Il heard the corpse call for
help" he said, land if there is any
help to be brought to him | m going
TO bring it. So, while one man
argued with the woman in tears
she wept, sobbed and scolded-they
went right on, removed The top from
the box, and while the woman
shrieked and appealed to heaven,
they lifted the lid from the casket.
and to their utter surprise found
the coffin filed with TASKS of gin.
whisky and other products of the
Kentucky mountains.
The funeral that was supposed to
be billed for a small town in Kansas
did not take place that day for the
want of a corpse.
The supposed widow was SNUG

One Hundred Years Ago.

Here are few facts which show
how much more convenient life is
today than in the good old days"
about which we hear.
Not until February Of 1912 did the
people Of Kentucky know that Madi-
son was elected President in the
previous November.
In. 1894 one of the leading rail-
roads of the United States printed
on it's time table, The locomotive
will leave the depot every day at 10
o'clock. If the weather is fair. !"
The first typewriter was received
by the public with suspicion. 1t
seemed subversiye OF existing con-
ditions. A reporter who took one
into court room first proved its
real worth.
In England, some centuries ago,
il and ordinary workman, without
permission, movedfrom the parish TO
another, in search of work or better
wages, he was branded with a hot
iron.
When Benjamin Franklin first
though OF starting a newspaper in
Philadelphia, many OF his friends
advised against it, because there
was a paper published in Boston.
Some of them doubted that the coun-
try would be able to support two
newspapers.
One hundred years ago, the fas-
test land travel in the world was on
the Great North road, in England,
after it had been put into its best
condition. There the York mail
coach tore along at the rate of ninety
miles day, and many persons con-
fidently predicted divine vengeance
on such unseemly haste.
When Benjamin Franklin first
took the coach from Philadelphia to
New York he spent four days on the
journey. He tells US that, as the
old driver logged along, he spent
his time knitting stockings. Two
stage coaches and eight horses suf-
feed for all the commerce that was
carried on between Boston and New
York, and in winter the journey
occupied week.

IL is of course true that a jury,
theoretically, is composed Of a set of
unpreiudiced men, with open minds,
still there may be occasions when
a slight personal feeling invades
their ranks Such was evidently
the thought borne in upon the tailor
who rising to state his case and
having declined the services of a
lawyer for reasons best known to
himself, looked over the jurymen
and then turned 10 the Judge.
Its no use for me to tell you
about this case, your honor" he
said dejectedly, mot unless you dis

1t was beautiful evening in the
gladstone spring. A majestic calm
pervaded all things.
The sweet scented Zephyre danced
in and out the signing elms and
weeping willows. The warblers
gay had long gone to rest, while the
daisy and the bluebell had closed
their tiny heads and lay wrapped in
slumber; but there was one little
bluebell still awake, and she was
coming down the garden path with
him the catch Of the town by her
side.
Silent and colorful, the country
side lay stretched before them, and
over the summit OF a distant hill
came the beams OF a new moon, like
streamers Of gold and silver.

And look at fair Luna. She is

"What?" asked the trembling
bluebell.
She nestled little closer.
He dropped his eyes and gazed
into hers for moment, but that
moment was enough. He had near.

and with his eyes glued on the dis
