MAN MONEY.
The Old Teutonic Law on Killing or
injuring Others.

The Old Teutonio Law on Killing or
iniuring Others.
The system of atoning for death or
bodily injuries inflicted on others by
paying damages is, as old as the earli
est Teutonic laws, praised by Tacitus.
The trespasser was always required TO
make peace with the aggrieved family
of the victim by "Wer-Geld."
''Wer" is the ancient German for
man. Geld" now, as In the days OF
Wotan. means money.
Damages were assessed in accord
ance with the rank and wealth of the
injured party, and the money was
paid over In the presence of the whole
community, its acceptance forestalling
fcuds. Indeed, the recognition of Wer
Geld c'money for the man" killed. by
law precluded further bloodshed or
d other forms of revenge
If the slayer was not rich enough to
pay the required sum, he turned over
to the injured parties his sons as
slaves. If his sons We're not sufficient
guarantee for the payment OF the
debt. the slayer himself had to turn
bondsman, both the letter and the
spirit of the law requiring that the
full amount Of damage inflicted be
recovered by the aggrieved parties -.

The Pictured Cowboy.

I recall one picture by a celebrated
artist Of the east who does western
things. 1t depicts Cowboy Mt Rest
He Is lying or his stomach In the sun,
his chin In his hands. His horse stands
nearby. with the reins thrown over the
horn of the saddle. Now, a cowboy in
the daytime, well filed with beans and
canned tomatoes, would not lie thus,
and, above all, he would not leave his
horse standing thus. He would pull
the reins down over the horses head
and let them hang. elsewise his cow
horse would depart. | recall yet anoth-
err picture OF a faithful cowpuncher
who with his trusty rifle defends him
self from behind his dead horse, which
he uses rs fortress The dead horse
is about four feet and half through
sidewise- for Il fortress but
a trihe wide for thin flanked COW
horse. 1t would be useless to poirt
out any detail like this 10 any earnest
artist of today. Worse than useless
would it be to suggest that cow
puncher is the LATEST created thing, for
in art he must do perpetual stunts OF
faction. "-Collier's Weekly.

An Artists Mustache.

The mustache was not viewed with
favor in England in the middle Of the
last century. An anecdote is told of
the late Thomas Cooper. the English
artist, to illustrate He was brought
before a magistrate in 1916 on some
minor charge and was described in
the police report as being fashion
ably dressed, with large mustaches.'
The Art Journal of the date, comment

Royal academy perpetrates the atroc-
ity of mustaches, a most un-English
affectation." Mr. Cooper became a
