has no alternative but either to kill
himself or else to disappear and seek
his fortune in some remote foreign
country, where, disguised as to ap-
pearance, silent as to his origin, and
under an assumed name he passes
his time in fear and trembling lest he
should be recognized and be once
more driven forth like the wandering
Jew Of old from his temporary refuge.
Construed Insults.
There are all sorts of minor pro-
visions of the unwritten law which 1t
would take too much time and space
to enumerate here, but among which
may be mentioned the rule which con-
strues it as an insult when man in
filling his neighbours glass slants the
bottle backward instead of forward
More than one sanguinary duel has
been fought to the personal knowl-
edge of the writer in Austria for a
breach of etiquette of this kind. In
the same way in the orient, If in
showing the blade Of sword to an
acquaintance one happens to turn the
edge thereof toward him he will con-
slider his honor impugned, and If by
any chance he is Japanese of rank
he is capable of going off and commit
ting suicide by ripping himself open,
leaving a document stating that hav-
ing been insulted honor demanded
that he should commit hara-kiri, and
calling upon his nearest relatives to
avenge him.
In Relation to the ThaW Case.
With regard to the application Of
the unwritten law to the case of
Harry Thaw, there are several con-
siderations to be noted in endeavoring
to bring it to bear upon the tragedy
of Madison Square roof garden. II
young Mrs. Thaw had been without
any stormy antecedents, and had been
subjected by Stanford White to indig-
mites and insulting proposals since
her marriage, her husband would have
been justified, according to the terms
OF the unwritten law, as understood
abroad, in shooting him, though of
course it would have been more chiv-
alrous to have given him chance of
defending himself instead of taking
him at disadvantage and unarmed.
But, unfortunately, young Mrs.
Thaw is not without a past; that she
was educated at the cost of White,
and had known him first as school
girl, then as a model, and finally as a
chorus girl, for several years prior to
her marriage, cannot be denied. Her
relations with White before becoming
Mrs. Thaw, and also her career in
New York and Paris prior to her mar.
riage were Of nature to debar her
husband from shooting White unless
he had actually caught him in the
very act of insulting her. That at
least Is the status of the Thaw-White
drama from the point of view of I'm.
written law.-New York World.

at any rate" said the landlord, gianc-
ing at the scoring board.
Mr. Barker made no reply; he was
thinking deeply. In fact so deeply
that 1t required several nudges from
Mr. Harden to bring to his mind
the fact that he owed him ten dol
lars.
For awhile he stood talking bill
lizards with the landlord, whilst Mr..
Barker and the lanky young man dis
cussed affairs in savage under
tone.

denly addressing Mr.. Harden, be

Harden, scornfully.

man, controlling himself with an eff
fort. we've got much better players

Il don't doubt It," said Mr.. Harden,
cordially.
Pushing his agitated companion
into a chair, Mr. Barker came for
ward.
What d you say to backing your
self for $500 with one of our own To-
cal menu" he inquired.
Delighted" was the reply.
We'll, then, I'll bet you an even
five hundred that we produce local
man the day after tomorrow to
smash you"
Done! He must be a bonafide 20.

Being treasured on this point, Mr..
Harden left the room with the firm
conviction that, as holiday resort,
Coleman wanted some beating.
At the appointed hour Mr.. Harden

women into the apartments of his
wife, the Archduchess Marie Josepha
in order, as he explained, that they
might see what an archduchess
looked like in bed-was stopped in the
corridor leading to her apartments by
his aide-de-camp, who drawing his
sabre, threatened to run through the
body anyone excepting the archduke
who endeavored to pass him.
The crowd, sobered by the serious
ness of the situation, hesitated and
then withdrew. But the archduke was
so beside himself with rage at being
baked in his project that he struck
the young officer blow in the face.
The matter was brought to the imme-
dlate notice of the commander of the
garrison, who communicated by tele-
graph with the emperor. Francis
Joseph ordered that the young officer
be prevented from doing himself any
harm, at all costs, fastened to the
scene from Vienna and, having as
sembled all the principal officers sum-
moned both his nephew, Archduke
Otto, and the young aide-de-camp to

Apostrophizing the latter in his
kindliest manner, he exclaimed: II

Unwritten Law and Perjury.
Perjury is according to every Grim

correspondent in divorce case, no
matter how guilty, is compelled by the
unwritten law to perjure himself in

and failure to comply with this re.

by many is regarded as worse than

Of all the popular phrases of the
English language there is none that
is more misused and misunderstood
than that of "unwritten law" And
just at the present time it is on every
body's lips in connection with the
trial for murder of Harry X. Thaw.
To judge from popular comment,
one would imagine that its jurisdic-
ton was restricted exclusively to one
or at the most two particular classes
Of homicide. But it covers a far
larger ground and affects almost
every phase of our life.
Among the several stories current
concerning the mysterious tragedy OF
Meyerling, which robbed the veneer
able emperor of Austria of his only
son, the most generally accepted
version is that he was slain by the
uncles of Baroness Marie Vetsera or
else that he was subjected by them
to such bodily injuries that he blew
his brains out, the men having learned
of the princes intention to cut adrift
from the girl, in compliance with his
pledge to his parents, instead Of
marrying her after securing d.
vorce from Crown Princess Stephanie.
Prince Baldwin Paid Penalty.
In Brussels, in the Avenue Louise,
foreign visitors are still shown a de.
serted house, where Prince Baldwin OF
Belgium, favorite nephew of King Leo
pold, and heir apparent to the throne,
was killed by an indignant husband
of princely but not royal rank. In
this instance, however, the tragedy
was followed by a separation of the
noble couple involved. Baldwin of
