Tasked a lover true. He turned him to a maiden With eyes of heavenlv blue. Her velvet lips were parted, All innocent of guile, A Dd eagerly he answered: "Her weapon is a smile." "What is a woman's weapon?" I aked a poet then. With sudden inspiration He seized upon his pen, "Oh! I could name a thousand!"

Mmllflratlnn of t!i Oualiflcalliins of Juriirs. A couple of very interesting cases in volving the fpialiMcations of a juror in criminal cases have been passed upon recently by the Supremo Court. In in terrogating a talesman with respect to his qualification, It is the rule to ask whether or not he has formed an opin ion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendent, but the examination has not heen inquiHitorisl as to the manner in which he reached a conclusion or from what source he obtained the facts upon which he predicated an opinion. In a case recently heard in Shelby County, In which William A. Woods was on trial or murder, the defendant's counted challenged E. V. Epperson because he stated that he formed' a conclusion after reading a "detailed newspaper article." Judge Cooper was presiding and stated that while i',pperson was a competent Inror, lie would recognize the challenge and allow another juror to be drawn. Die defense having exhausted its legal number of challenges, nothing was left but for them to accept Epperson as a nror, w hich was done. The defendant was convicted and given fifteen vears in the penitentiary and upon appeal the cleienuant's counsel insisted that they were entitled to a new trial for the rea son that one man had served on the Jury after having lormed an opinion trom reading a newspaper account of the tragedy. The court took the case under consideration and decided that a man was not disqualified as a juror who reached a conclusion after reading a newspaper article, "taking the same to he true." The case is reported on page ipj et sequente 01 loin i lCKie. The other case arose in Anderson County, where Minor Leach was cou victed of the assassination of General Manager Heck of the Royal Coal A Coke Company. A man had been summoned as a juror and was being examined as to his qualifications when he expressed the opinion that "any person who laid in wait for and killed a man should be hanged." The defendant's counsel ob Jected, but the Supreme Court held him tone entirely competent as a juror. asiivuie isanner.
