need of a cook, and ten of the best
chefs duly presented themselves for
the coveted post. They were inform.

serve a dinner of his own choice and
cooking, consisting of ten courses,
to be served the same evening to a
jury of the best gastronomes in
Paris, who would eat of each differ.
ent dish and then pass Judgment.
This programme was carried out
and the palm awarded to a French
man who had been chef for many
years to the Baron Haussman. A

the jury was the sequel to this ia
nous dinner of 100 courses. Lon

The wife Of an indianapolis news,
paper reporter opened can of to-
matoes tor dinner last night. In
pouring its contents into stew pan
she heard clink. With impreca.
lions on the solder she fished about
with a spoon and brought up a gold
watch chain. Her cry of surprise
brought in her husband, who sug,
gested that if they kept on they
might find few diamonds or a
house and let, so he went at it.
His only discovery, however, was q
lsdy's gold watch. The watch was
hurried to jewelers., where it was
cleaned and its color restored by
the polisher. Its value was given
by him at $50. The cases are hand
somely engraved and have on them

News Of a remarkable death near
Pond Springs, Ga, few miles from
Chattanooga, Tenn, was received
there Saturday afternoon. Ben
Harris, the 18.year-old son OF a
farmer, was hoeing cotton in large
field. A laborer working near him
heard the boy give a wild scream.
The young man then ran few feet,
sunk to the ground writhiag and
screaming in agony. In ten min
utes the boy was dead. Examina-
ton showed that Harris had been
stung by "bull>ant," as the insec,
is called in that country. The ant
was found clinging to the swollen
purple ankle of the unfortunate lad
and was secured and preserved BY
David Hall, Chattanoogian, who
was in the vicinity. Mr.. Hall sale

The WALKING GALLOWS.

Nickname Given &c q British Officer Dur
ing the Irish Rebellion.
The late Mr.. W. j. Fitzpatrick was
best known in this country perhaps
as Levers biographer, but he was
also the author of many interesting
historical works, dealing for the
most part with the mysteries which
shrouded the expenditure of Pitts
secret service money and with the
true character of the shadowy fig.
ures moving behind the scenes dur.
ing the rebellion of 1898 and the act
of union that followed it.
Time travels slowly over in Ire
land. The peasantry still talk of the
stirring events of that memorable
year in a manner that makes it diff.
cult for a stranger to realize that
nearly a hundred years have elapsed
since they took place. In several OF
Mr.. Fitzpatrick S books reference is
made to an officer whose energetic
measures for SURPRISING sedition
should certainly claim for his mem.
Dry the same respect and admiration
as are awarded to Judge Jeffries and
other gentlemen of the same stamp.
When the rebellion first broke out,
the militia regiment of a certain
county adjoining Dublin could boast
the services of an officer of the name
of Hepenstall who soon became
known throughout the length and
breadth of Ireland as the "Walking
Gallows. " This notorious officer,
originally an apotheoary, was Go.
Hath in stature and a Nero at heart.
If after dark, while patrol!ing the
country with his men, he met a peas.
ant who could not satisfactorily &C.
count for himself, Hepenstall's mode
of procedure was first to knock him
down with a blow from his fist,
which was quite as effective as a
sledge hammer, and then, ordering
one of the drummers to take off G
cord from his drum, to adjust q
moose around the prisoners neck,
draw the rope over his own athletic
shoulders and trot about, the vic.
TINS legs dangling in the air until
death at last put an end to the tor.
ture.
These details-almost incredible
at the present day-were admitted
by the gallant officer himself when
undergoing cross examination at the
trial of rebel named Hylahd, coun.
sci for the defense exclaiming at the
close of this remarkable evidence,
Then, sir, you acted the execution.
or and played the gallows!''
"Yes, please your honor" came
the unabashed reply.
Such was the barbarous severity
of the time that Lord Norbury, the
presiding judge, warmly compli.
mented the witness on his loyalty
and assured him that he had been
guilty of no ACT which was not nat
ural to jealous, loyal and efficient
officer. Preixed to that rare and
extremely seditious periodical The
Irish Magazine for 1910 is picture
of Hepenstall, in his capacity of exc
cutioner, slowly strangling an I'm.
fortunate wretch, who is dangling
behind his gigantic back. His fea-
lures, handsome in their conforma-
ton and seraphio in their express
sion, present puzzle to the students
of Lavater's theory, and it is impos-
sible not to admire his magnificent
