Mt the moment when the news Of his
death reached the sepoy guard at the

A Man of Straw.

Many years ago In England men
could easily be found to give any evil
dence upon oath that might be re-
quired, and some Of these persons
walked openly in Westminster hall
with a straw In one Of their shoes to
signify they wanted employment as
witnesses. This was the origin of the
saying, "He is a man of straw" But
the custom has high antiquity. A
writer in the Quarterly Review says
that such were common In Greece.
