wife-whipping in England.

From the Indianapolis News.
The ancient idea that an honest
Rriton held in his own hands the in
herent right to correct" his wife has
never been given up by the husbands
OF that land-that is, among the plain
people. For many years it was gener-
ally accepted that the husband could
use in this necessary correction "a
stick no thicker than his thumb" and
when this failed to effect a cure the
village authorities would come to his
relief with the ducking stool. Wife
whipping is today of such common oc-
currence that the music halls have put
upon films as a drawing card in their
moving picture entertainments this
particular British recreation, and 1t
NAV be that this will bring about a
reform in domestic discipline in that
country.
One,of these music hall sketches, en-
titled "What Every Woman Ought to
Know" is by two actors, who give
lescon showing the muscular Dement'S
that come to woman VINO mas
learned jiu-jitsu Bill Borrer, cos
termonger. knocks his wife Liz about
when he ID drunk. Liz reads an ad-
vertisement about jiu-j itsu, takes les
sons and Is ready for him at his next
assault He comes on with threat
to ''mash her face" and attempts to
do so. Liz catches the blow, brings
him to the ground, puts an arm and
leg lock on him and proceeds to tell
the captive that new era has arrived
In that household. She let's him up
and he renews the attack. Then, by
the aid of the most approved throws
and locks, she brings him into abJect
submission and he begins life anew as
the model husband.
There is but little wife whipping in
the United States, and when case
gets into court the punishment in
flicted is not Of the three-shillings-
and-twopence kind, but usually has a
stiff workhouse sentence attached.

Vice President Acting as President
"Tyler himself, however, without
taking any part in the discussion, inn
mediately assumed the title of Presi-
dent after he had taken the oath.
There was some criticism of him for
this action, but it never amounted to
much.
Fillmore learned in some way that
Tyler's reasoning was something like
this: The Constitution provides that
in cases of the resignation or dis
ability or death of the President the
shall enter upon the
duties of the Office. In case President
Harrison were pronounced absolutely
incapacitated for conducting the Of
flee, for instance, such incapacity ar
complete paralysis would have i'm
posed, then there was no doubt about
the right and the constitutional duty
of the Vice-President to assume the
duties of the office, but in such case
he would still be President,
merely acting as President until the
disability were removed
But in case of the death or resigna-
ton of the President, which would in
volve the complete vacating of the
presidential office, then the Vice.
President assumes not only the duties
of the office, but the office itself. He
becomes, in fact, the President of the
United States, and not merely an
acting President. His term as Vice
President expires. For this reason
John Tyler decided that the death of
President Harrison left the office va
cant until he, as Nice-President, in
obedience to the Constitution, stepped
forward and filled it.
There never was any question
about this matter at the time Andrew
johnson succeeded Lincoln, nor has
there been any question about my
right to the title of President" con-
Guided General Arthur.

Comb carried out the work of build

was begun in 1903. The first inten-
ton was to use brownstone. Nc
Comb however, saw that no meaner
material than marble could do justice
to the purpose of the workmanship
of the proposed City Hall. Accord
ingly he persuaded the committee in
charge to let him use marble on three
sides. The stone was hauled over
from the Berkshire hills by horses
and oxen, for locomotives had not yet
been invented.

AS all the world knows, bathing IS

There have been those to doubt
This attitude. Sir William Jenner
once made the traitorous statement,

And when an astonished patent

also to note the true Briton speaking

attracting every eye because of their
novelty, the New York City Hall
often escapes notice, or is given
shorter consideration than it's excel
