troduced to an aristocratic "after-
noon tea" for which he was always
we'll dressed on professional duty. as
"Hofmeister Lang" There was
some CONSERVATION when his iden-
tity was discovered, but this soon
gave place to a fever of curiosity.
and women surrounded him for
hours with fusillade of questions
and stole his pocket handkerchief
as a memento of the occasion.
Women offered him anything he
liked to ask if he would enable them
to be present at an execution. He
could take certain number of men
as his assistants, giving in their
names beforehand, but he never
took even men who had not some
genuine scientific ground for asking,
and never women, though there were
many women who were quite w;...:ns
to act as his actual assistants. He
never had to execute a woman and
was heartily glad Of it.
If only for its sidelights on super
stition this is a remarkable book.
Lang's pre-war correspondence,
much OF which his wife often burned
unopened, consisted mainly of re-
quests for locks of hair, his own or
else from a patient" and for all
imaginable articles that had been
touched by him or by hanged mur-
derer. And Lang himself is not
without superstition. He always
carries about with him a tiny skein
containing thread from each silk
moose he has used to launch a man
into eternity.
New-York tribune., 1921-03-13
A Popular Hangman

ONE of vienna's most respected
citizens, writes the Vienna cor
respondent of The London Daily
Mail, is Josef Lang, the "last i'm
perial and royal executioner of
AUSTRIA" handsome and imposing
old gentleman in his sixty-sixth
year, who is still active deputy chief
Of the fire brigade in Simmering, the
suburb in which he resides, and
probably the most popular man in
the district.
His volume of "reminiscences, just
published, and edited by DR.. Oscar
Schalk, reveals him as a man Of
humane and generous disposition.
He has brought up fifteen children,
Of whom only two were his own. He
became executioner at forty-five,
having been successively carpenter,
soldier, stoker and coffee-house
keeper.
He is very proud of the fact that
his longest execution took only IS
seconds, the shortest as.
But the most interesting of his
disclosures relate to women of all
classes who sought interviews with
him at which they often made deter
mined amatory advances. Some
were content to look into his eyes or
touch his hand. Many craved a
thread of silk which had formed
part Of moose actually used by him.
Superstition was their main incen-
tive.
He was once, on going to the gov
ernor's house to report himself, as
he was bound to do on arrival, In
New-York tribune., 1921-03-13

printed newspaper all himself. BY
this time, Of course. he didn't have
to be read to, but books were hard to
get, and he valued them very highly.
He had moved now from the small
town where he had lived to Detroit,
where there was a big library, some
thing he had never seen. One day
just by chance he wandered into
this library and was struck with
wonder at the sight of the great
rows of shelves filled with books. He
had not believed there were so many
books in the world.
At once he was filled with a ire
mendous desire to possess those
books. He knew he couldn't have
the books themselves, but that all
that was in them was his' for the
taking. 1t seemed to him that ev-
erything in them was too precious
for him not to have as his very own
70 carry around in his head. so he
made up his mind he would read
them all and so know everything
they contained.
He was a methodical and syste-
matte boy, and after thinking the
matter over he decided that the
thing to do was to start in at one
end of the shelves and read every
book as he came to it till he came
to the other end.
So for many days the library at
tendants watched boy who came
everyday and read for hours. He
was such regular visitor that they
began to watch for him and then to
wonder what he was reading. SO
they took note of the books he had
and learned to their surprise that
many of the volumes he pored over
were books that only learned men,
men who were considered very wise,
were accustomed to ask for. If l
should tell you the names of some Of
these books you probably would not
even know what they were.
The library attendants knew their
visitor was too young to be reading
such books. Many Of them were
books that could not be understood
even by an older person unless he
had read and studied other books. So
one day one of. the librarians talked
to Tom and got the whole story of
this boy who was so hungry for
knowledge that he was trying to

AUCTION BRIDGE

QUESTION:: The dealer having bid a
heart, second and third hand passing
the fourth hand bids two hearts. The
opponents insist that this cannot be
done, and that the fourth hand must
bid some other suit or double, as the
laws do not allow him to bid higher in
the opponents suit.-B. L. II.
Answer-There is no restriction as
to the denomination Of any call, so that
it is better bid than the previous bid.
If one player bids heart and one of
his opponents thinks he can make two
odd with hearts for trumps, he can
bid it. Suppose second hand had bid
two clubs, and his partners best suit
was hearts, having no clubs, why should
he not bid two hearts?
Question: Where can one get the
full text of the new laws for 1871

Address the secretary of The Whist
Club, 13 West Thirty-sixth Street, New

Question: The dealer bids a spade,
second hand passes and third hand
holds queen, nine, six of spades, four
hearts to the king, four clubs to the
king and king and one diamond, on
which he bids one no-trump. The
dealer bets he should have passed.
Z. L. M.
Answer-The no-trump bid denies
the spades, as if the third hand had
no assistance for that suit, whereas he
has more than average help, and should
have passed 1t is not only a bad bid,
but very poor no-trumper.
Question: The bid is spades, and

ace Of hearts. Trumps are then led

who are older know that the boy
who is so "smart" that everybody
predicts he is going to be great
man very often never amounts to
much, but that does not keep US from
enjoying stories about the boyhood
OF those for whom greatness never
was predicted, but who really be-
came famous.
And this story Of how little Tom
Edison started out to read a whole
library is one Of the most interesting
stories of all those told of him. You
see, like so many great Americans,
Edison was very, very poor when he
was boy. Maybe that is because
most American boys are poor. Rich
boys may become great, too, 'but
there are not so many Of them.
Well, as 1 said, Tom Edison was
so very poor that the only toys he
had to play with were those he made
himself. His mother used to read to
him great deal, and as she liked to
read him books about science and
machinery it was natural that he
tried to make toys like the things
she read about. Once, when he was
very small, he built railroad thas
ran all around his backyard. He
liked to build bridges, so he dug a
lot of canals and rivers so he would
