Old English Fine.

In the past If one Englishman called
another a liar there was something to
pay. The seventeenth century mayor,
sheriff and city grandees generally
were keen on this point Of etiquette.
The direct accusation COSY Is. I'D.

And there was a reduction OF 9eti-

Swearing, too, was promptly sup
pressed. In 1850 a law was passed
laying down the penalty for a first
offense. The fines were graduated.
That for lord was 80 shilllngs C$720),
for an esquire 10 shillings $2.40), while
all "inferior persons could have a

be prepared-by thorough boiling for
not less than 10 TO 20 minutes. After

Tradition Among Hotel Men.
From the Denver Times
Adolf C. Markham, New Yorker
travelling for a firm for a boot and
shoe manufacturers, thinks that
Denver hotel men are an awfully
superstitious lot. He came into vio-
lent contact with what he terms their
superstition when he registered at
the Savoy Hotel recently.
After affixing his signature to the
page with flourish he began to ex-
anime the register itself. This is a
brand new affair, of the loose leaf
variety, bound handsomely in leather
and velvet. To get good look at
the decorative exterior of the thing
Mr.. Markham started to close it. He
made no more than a start, however,
because the phone girl saw him and
jumped from her place lake a rabbit.
without waiting to explain to Mr..
Markham, she grabbed the register
from him with both hands.
''No! No!' she said, "you mustn't
close that register. It's a sure Jonah
to do that.
"What do you mean?,'I gasped, the
startled Markham. AT this point
Head Clerk William D. Rector came
to the rescue. When he was told
what had happened he turned pale.
''Great hevens!" he said, eff you
had closed that register we'd all have
to get out. Don't you know that to
close hotel register means the worst
kind of bad luck? Why, if Mr.. Alex
ander, the owner of this hotel, ever
saw his register closed he'd have a
fit. That's one of the oldest tradi-
tons among hotel men,"
