An English Hostess Enlightened on
the Subject OF LynehInE.
From Life.
At a recent dinner in London the con
versation turned to the subject Of lynch
ing in the United States. It was the gen
eral opinion that a large percentage Of
Americans met death at the end OF the
rope Finally the hostess turned TO an
American who had taken no part in the
conversation, and said:
You, sir, must have often seen these
affairs?"
Yes" he replied. we take a kind Of
municipal pride in seeing which city can
show the greatest number of lynchings
yearly"
"Oh. do tell us about a Iynching you
have seen yourself" broke in a dozen
voices at once.
''The night before I sailed for England"
said the American. I was giving a din
ner at a hotel to a party Of intimate
friends when cOlOred waiter spilled a
plate Of soup over the gown Of a lady ut
an adjoining table. The gown was utterly
ruined, and the gentlemen of her party at
once seized the waiter. tied a rope around
his neck, and at a signal from the injured
lady swung him into the air"
Horrible" said the hostess with a
shudder. And did you actually see this
yourself?"
We'll, no." admitted the American,
apologetically. Just at that moment 7
