Leaning Treason.

King William ILL., OF England was
passionately fond Of the chase ana
made it point never to be outdone in
any leap, however perilous. A Mr..
Cherry, who was devoted TO the exilcd
family, took advantage Of this to plan
tie most pardonable design which was
ever formed against kings life. he
regularly joined the royal hounds. put
himself foremost and took the most
desperate leaps in the hope that VIII
liam might break his neck In following
him. One day. however. he accom-
plished one so immlnently dangerous
that the king when he came to the spot
hook his head anu drew back. 1t Is
said that Mr.. Cherry ut length broke
his own neck and thereby relieved the
king from further hazard.

A strange custom Is still observed In
Roumania which reminds one strongly
of Robinson Crusoe. When servant
has displeased his or her master the
offender takes his boots In his hands
and places them before the bedroom
door of his master. II Is sign Of
great submission, and the boots are
either kicked away as an intimation
that the fault will not be forgiven or
else the servant Is told to place them
OH his feet, which shows that he Is for
given.
