If there is any one thing that the
average man would be willing to wa
ger was of American origin it would
be the practice of dealing with offend
ers by covering them with a coat of
tar and feathers.
This punishment was instituted
long before the United States was
ever thought of and before this con
tinent was ever discovered In the
time of the crusades Richard Occur
de Lion and Philip Augustus, two
of the crusading kings, agreed upon
the penalties that should be inflicted
for infractions of discipline.
Among the punishments provided
by their code were that whoever kill
ed another crusader was to he cast
alive into the sea, or, if no water
was at hand, should be burned alive;
that whoever wounded another should
have his hand cut off. that who
ever stcruck another should be duck
ed three times into the sea, and
have warm pitch poured over his
head, which should then be powdered
with feathers, and the offender
should afterward be left abandoned

Again and again;

OF a blizzard to come;
When a prophet recites
A story so glum;
When panic and strife
Are declared overdue,
How the phrase brightens life
