Eyes. I am heartily glad that execu-
ton by hanging is passing out of eX-
istence," said the jailer of twenty-five
years service. Not only was hang
ing by the neck grewsome, hor-
rible affair to me. but it was always
followed by host of requests for a
bit of the rope with which the hanging
was done. OF course, these requests
came mostly from ignorant people, but
they were no less of nuisance on that
account. oh. no, they didn't want bits
of the rope for morbid reasons, but
because they firmly believed in the old
superstition that bit of rope used in
a hanging would cure cancer if rubbed
on the affected part None of them
ever came back to report whether Il
cure was effected, but reckon if there
had been any cures l would have
heard of them.
THAT isn't the only rope superstition.

from. some folk always use hempen
rope for the mumps. a piece Of it is
tied around the waist of the sick per-

to any vital part. but remain In the
