is the general explanation of the commonly used
phrase, "The condemned man walked firmly to the
scaffod"
My suggestion about the brandy was adopted
but unhappily, as shall show presently, it was not
carried out in the proper fashion. Hence the ter
rble that we were to face next morning
"How is Mrs. Thompson bearing up?" asked, to
which DIR. Morton replied
"She is most puzzng woman. Sometimes she
quite cheerful for hours, and then she will have
sham faint. She has had these sham faints several
times. But to-day she really was unconscious, and
begin to fear we shall have serious trouble with her
in the morning. | fully expect we shall have to use
the chair, which have ordered to be put in readi
ness in the she'd and carry her to the gallows."
Mentally hoped we would be able to do without
using that chair, which would have neceSstated sit
ting the condemned woman in it on the trap-doors,
plan that might have led to all sorts of unpleasant
complications.
Dr. Morton was, found, very courteous gen.
teman, ready to listen to my suggestions with
open mind, which might say is not invariable
characteristic of prison governors
What shall you do if she swoons ?" he asked
opinion her in her cell" replied, "and put the
strap round her skirts at the same time. My two
assistants would then carry her to the shed and hold
her up while do the rest They will be more used
to that sort of thing than the wardens from Penton
Vile"
Thus it was arranged
The morning of the execution broke in dismal,
rainy weather, fully in keeping with the task before
US. Baxter and Phillips, my assistants, and rose
about 80 and had drink of hot tea Then we
moved toward the execution shed for the final ar
rangements.
While my assistants were getting the necessary
tackle went to the door of the condemned cell and
looked through the inspection hole. 1t was then
7:40 a. M, and Mrs. Thompson still in bed, APP
parently asleep, for all quiet within, and the
solitary gas jet there shed dim light the dreary
Jail furnishings.
After putting in quarter of an hours work on
the scaffold returned to the condemned cell and

of these concerned the question of leg pinionng In
the case of man his ankles are strapped together
at the last moment on the trapdoors but one could
hardly deal with a woman in this way. So wrote
to the under sheriff, telling him that it would be
necessary to procure longer strap which proposed
to fasten round the bottom of her skirts
/ discovered afterward that on receipt of my let
ter the Holloway Prison engineer was sent over to
Pentonville to if they had suitable long strap
They hadn't. So someone splced special strap,
which proved quite suitable
1t was about three o'clock in the afternoon when
reached the neighborhood of Holloway JAIL in COM
pany with one of my assistants named Phillips, whom
had met by arrangement in the city.
There was big crowd round the gates, which
number of policemen having a little difficulty
in keeping orderly. What these people expected to
see beats me, but if they were looking fer the
and had given our names in at the gates and been
admitted before the crowd had chance to recOg-
niZe us.
Even the press photographers did not spot u.s.
saw five of them with their backs to me busy taking
snaps of the crowd, while the one for whom they
were no doubt waiting slipped quietly inside the
prison. Soon after my arrival sat the prison | met
the governor, DR.. John Hall Norton who acted as
both prison governor and medical officer. He joined
me at the scaffold where had already gone to try
the lever and see that the trap-doors were working
properly. r......
Our conversation turned upon various aspects of
the morrow's task. Turning to the governor, ad-
vised him to give Mrs. Thompson good stiff dose of
brandy about five minutes before the fatal hour You
may call that giving Dutch courage but this much
know, it has failed in helping poor condemned
wretches those last terrifying moments. In fact

Amazing to relate, Mrs.
Thompson was perfectly

was to keep her mind off

KEEPING WELL
SHOULD COUSINS
MARRY?
DIR. FREDERICK II. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTHo

Is THERE any foundation for our
4 prejudice against the marriage of
closely related persons?
In more than third of the United
States marriage of first cousins is for
hidden. In Oklahoma not even second
cousins are allowed to marry.
Yet In England marriage between
cousins is quite common and has been
for generations. An Englishman can
marry his fathers brothers daughter,
but until recently he was not allowed
to marry his decensed wife's sister,
who was no relation to him whatever.
Professor Paul Popenoe. the we'll
known authority on this subject, says
that whether or not cousins should
marry depends entirely on the cousins.
Marriage between persons Of the
same ancestry and the same personal
traits tends to produce children with
these traits more strongly developed.
II the inherited characteristics are
good, the marriage results in better
children.
II the inherited traits are bad. then
poorer children are the result.
Professor Popenoe concludes that If
both Interested parties to the marriage
are strong and healthy. mentally and
physically, above the average, with no
bad tendencies in their common an
cestors for several generations back.
their children will probably be above
the average.
But II the cousins are mentally or
physically below the average, If their
ancestors had undesirable traits, or II
any evidences of insanity. feeble
mindedness. liability to disease, &C.
centricities, or other undesirable pecu-
| liarities were present, then their mar
riage would be lnadvisable.
Professor Popenoe's conclusions are
| In line with what every live stock
breeder knows from experience.
The breeder knows that when the
purents are carefully selected and all
animals with bad traits and physical
defects are cut out, there is no quicker
or surer way Of building up n fine
grade of stock than by inbreeding.
On the other hand. the breeder
knows that II the parents, are defec-
tive. low grade or SCRUB" animals, the
general average Of the herd is lowered.
So the answer to the question
whether cousins should marry is that
It all depends on the cousins. And
