himself or else to disappear and seek

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 slant; the
bottle backward instead OF forward.

been fought to the personal knowl-
edge of the writer in Austria for a
breach of etiquette of this kind. In

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. If
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 1t would have been more chiv'
alrous to have given him a chance OF
defending himself instead of taking
him at disadvantage and unarmed.
But, unfortunately, young Mrs
Thaw is not without past; that she
was educated at the cost OF White
and had known him first as a schoo
girl, then as a model and finally as {
chorus girl, for several years prior tC
hnr rria hn Hnninh Hn,
relations with White before becoming
Mrs. Thaw, and also her career il
New York and Paris prior to her mar
riage were of nature to debar he
husband from shooting White unless
he had actually caught him in thu
very act of insulting her. That a
least is the status of the Thaw-Whit'
drama from the point of view OF un
written law.-New York World.

corridor leading to her apartments by

The crowd, sobered by the serious

then withdrew But the archduke was
so beside himself with rage at being
baked in his project that he struck
the young officer a blow in the face.

Mada for Eat Men.

One of the narrow arches In the gallery of the chapel at Columbia uni versity Is not exactly symmetrical, al- though the defect is not noticeable to the casual observer, says the New York Globe. The reason for the wid- ening of the arch after it's original con struetion had rise in somewhat humorous occurrence. One of the early visitors was remarkably fat man, who found himself wedged into the arch when he tried to squeeze through and was extricated with diff. culty. The builders, recognizing the Possibility of other fat people being numbered among the future visitors, decided to widen the arch, sacrificing symmetry and harmony to practical need as the pier was so constructed as to bear no loss of width on one of its sides.
