THE PAY or THE hAnGmAN.
When Jack Ketch Complained of His
Small Salary.


The many executions taking place
these days would give the lie to the
story. had 1t o already been con.
tradicted, that the hangman suffers
poverty. But the court of aldermen
really does possess the record Of an
appeal for increase Of the hangman's
salary. Jack Ketch wrote that, as
executioner, he could not get other
employment; that he had to keep an
assistant. but that hangings were so
rare as to make it impossible for him
to live. He must have compared his
own lot with that of the French hang.
man in the palmy days Of that official
before the guillotine killed his pro.
fession. "The post is sacred here"
wrote a diarist in Paris, land ap-
proaches the noblesse in the right OF
using a sword, and the priesthood in
being prescribed entry at all spec
tacles but that of the profession. If
blood unsullied can ennoble, then I
know Of none so pure, for a French
hangman can marry none but a
French hangman's daughter" Far
different was it with the Ketches of
old time, as the following record
shows: "Executioner's fees. rs. 3d.;

hat the devil has never ventured to
show his face in hat portion of Eng
land lest the Cornish housewife
should pop him into a pasty.
The saying speaks well for the spiel.
ness of the famous dish, as well as
for the thriftiness Of the matron in
turning u~npromising materials to
account. For just as Devonshire is
famous for it's cream" so theN proud
boast of Cornwall is Cornish pasty.
Many things go to make up its
savoriness which an uninventive cook
would never dream of employing.
Leeks. onions, sage and parsnips fig
ure largely. while potatoes and turnips
provide the bulk of the feast. To
flavor it successfully requires the
most intimate and accurate knowledge
of the value of homely herbs.
Thyme. mint and parsley are three
powerful allies OF the Cornish cook.
The h~edgerows. too. are made to yield
their share. and many a weed is press
ed into the service.

THE MAN OF BEAUTY
NOT DESIRABLE AS EITHER HUS-
BAND OR BROTHER.
Woman Writer Points Out His Num-
erous Shortcomings-At That, He
Compares Very Favorabiy With the
Beauty Of Fifty Years Ago.

The handsome man is a mistake,
according to an aggrieved person who
feels herself qualified to speak out in
meeting on this subject. She has
been investigating him id various
roles and declares that as a lover he
is unsatisfactory, as a husband a fail
ure and as a brother a nuisance. The
fiancee OF a g~ood-looking man has to
pay dearly for her capture of an
Adonis. She lives in a state of per-
petual siege against a host OF fair
rivals, and has to run the gauntlet of
such remarks as: Il wonder what
that handsome Mr.. Jones can Gee in
that Enid Smith" and Isn't it funny
how good looking men always marry
such plain wives?"
Her troubles are all augmented
when she becomes a young matron.
She has to stoically endure her hus-
bands firtations with other
who will flatter him If she will not
and to smile amiably when Mrs. Rob
inson praises Jack and Muriel: "such
pretty children; so like their father"
Last, but not least. she must skimp
her wardrobe, while her attractive
husband spends on his ties and socks
what the ugly nan would have con-
centrated cheerfully on his wife's fur
coat, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
AS a brother the handsome man Is
certainly not an unmixed BLESSING.
From the first moment he opens his
beautiful" eyes he is the idol of an
adoring mother, who displays to his
moral shortcomings a more than bee
tle-like o~btuseness. AS he grows older
she palliates his love for pleasure and
his Discrimination for work by the
Reuse Jack is so good-looking he
is sure to marry an heiress if he goes
into society"
The sister of the handsome man is
only asked to parties where the host
ess dare not ask him without her, and
she is ordered TO be civil to all sorts
of people, who detest her. but admire
Jack" Then the handsome brother
is generally a woman's man, which
means hat Jack will not bring men
-@~
friends home to smoke and play ping
pong and fall in love with his sister.
If the modern girl could have her
choice in such a matter she would
plump unreseyvedly for a plain, good
natured, ordinary brother, who would
contentedly accept the back seat allot-
ed by the twentieth century women to
the mere man."
Troublesome though the handsome
brother undoubtedly is, 1t is probable
that, in spite of all her protestations,
her royal highness, woman, will con-
tinue to admire and marry him. The
handsome nan Of to-day certainly
compares favorably with the pretty"
man of fifty years ago. That popular
hero was narrow-chested, puny and
pink-and-white, while black whiskers
inevitably adorned" his thin cheeks.
To-day the handsome man is stall
wart, well set up, and muscular. for
mere beauty of feature will count for
very little. He may not be industri-
Gus, but he is wise enough to play
football and golf, and is. by the way,
almost as conceited of his prowess in
these directions as of his classic nose
and chin and beautiful" eyes.

His Nerve Got Him the Job.

Soon after the sign was placed the

a man there with a shovel.

WHY WHITNEY WAS POPULAR.
Always the Embodiment of Chivairy
and Courtesy.


One of the admirable traits CT WI
liam C. Whitney was his habitual def
erence to m Talk turned upon
this at the Union League Club last
night. He was a gentleman to the
core" remarked a prominent member
Once he told me he found it actually
difficult to keep his hat on when con-
versing with a woman on the side
walk. even in winter, and yet more SO
to remain seated when a woman SER
want entered a room where he hap
pened TO be. 1T was instructive gal
lantry-the old-fashioned courtliness,
the chivalry whose decadence Burke
deplored."
Mr.. Stillman recalled that one of
Whitney's favorite quotations was La.
marines reply to the woman who
asked him TO guess her age: Your
age. mademoiselle? Whatever it is,
you don't look it."
BY another the point was made that
his unfailing buoyancy of spirits was
largely due to his determination not to
become an old fogy. His advice to the
men of fifty and beyond was in theis
vein: Watch the men of thirty.
You'll have to wrench your neck some
times. but it pays"
Rather a curious, but by no means
forced, analogy was drawn between
Mr.. Whitney and Lord Rosebery by an
Anglo-American financier who has
M" among his initials. The resem-
biance was in respect of social tact.
