SURVIVAL OF OLD CUSTOM
Channel Islander Has Recourse to
“Cry for Freedom,” a Relic
of the Past.
A strange custom, elating back at
least to Norman times, was revived
in Alderney, in the Channel islands.
Daniel Sebire Jurat, justicier
elect of Alderney, whose election the
royal court at Guernsey had annulled
because he had been sentenced to a
term of imprisonment some years
ago, raised a “clameur de Haro,” or
a “cry for justice.” against a fresh
election by kneeling bareheaded at
the entrance of the court house and
exclaiming, ‘‘Haro! Haro! Haro!
a I‘aide, mon Prince! On me fait
tort” (Help, my prince! I am
wronged.)
The “clameur de Haro,” an an
cient custom of “crying for justice,”
still survives in the Channel islands.
The appellant must on his knees and
before witnesses raise the cry, which
acts as an injunction until the al
leged tort or trespass has been adju
dicated upon by the court. If the
trespasser continues, he is liable to
arrest and punishment.
Though the clameur is still legal
in the Channel islands, recourse to
it is very rare, and there had been
no instance of it in Alderney for
two centuries. It is, however, a very
effective procedure. The derivation
popularly ascribed to the plea is
curious. “Haro” is said to be an ab
breviation of “Ha Rollo!” a direct
appeal to Rollo, the first duke of
Normandy, and is thus traced back
to the days when there were no
courts and justice was personally
meted out by princes. It is, however,
more probable that “Haro!” is sim
ply an exclamation to attract atten
tion.
A similar custom, applicable only
in criminal cases, was the Saxon
“clamor violentiae,” which was in ex
istence at the time of the Norman
invasion.

ONLY THING HE COULD DO
Chinese Artist Got Even With Those
Who Employed Him and Failed
to Pay Bill.
The man who orders goods and
then refuses to accept them is a
trial to shopkeepers and manufac
turers in all lands; a novel wav of
serving such delinquents is de
scribed in a curious little anecdote
told in “The Memoirs of William
Hickey.”
There was a Chinaman who took
excellent likenesses in clav, which
he afterward colored, and they were
altogether well executed. To this
man’s shop Pott and I went to see
his performances. We found Mr.
Carnegie, surgeon of the ship Not
tingham-, sitting for his portrait, and
complaining violently of the ex
tremely ugly phiz the artist was
making. After he had repeated this
several times, the man laid down his
tools, and looking significantly at
Carnegie, said, “Hi, you handsome
face no have got how can make?”
and turning to Pott, he continued,
“Here can make handsome face, for
too muchee handsome face have
got.” Carnegie was offended at both
observations, and declared he would
not pay for or take the model away.
He kept his word, and the next
time we called at the shop we found
the image of Mr. Carnegie tucked
up, hanging by a rope round the
neck to a beam with several others.
Inquiring the meaning of that, the
Chinaman, with much anger, an
swered, “All those have toe muchee
grand ladrones, give me too much
trouble, make handsome face, no
pay, no take, so mustee hang up.”—

PAYING TOO MUCH FOR SPACE
Proposition Made by London Times
Does Not Seem Alluring When
Thoroughly Analyzed.
One never knows in what eccen
tricity the new enterprise of the
Times is going to break out nowa
days. Here is its latest bid for ad
vertisements: “The capital outlay
charged to insure the appearance of
an Tn Memoriam’ announcement in
the Times annually in perpetuity is
£ls for four lines, and pro rata.”
No doubt, while their grief is fresh
upon them, many bereaved persons
of means will avail themselves of
this offer. One of the labor papers,
however, has had the impertinence
to work out a sum in arithmetic to
find out what this means. The in
terest on £ls at five per cent per
annum is 15 shillings. The adver
tiser, therefore, in addition to mak
ing the Times a capitalist to the
extent -of £ls, is paying it 15 shil
lings for a four-line Tn Memoriam’
notice. But the ordinary every-day
charge for a single Tn Memoriam’
notice in the Tinies is seven shillings
and sixpence—just half that sum—
for anything up to six lines.—Lon
don letter to New York Post.
SENATOR CLINGS TO SNUFF
Wisconsin Statesman Has Old-Time
Habit—His Attention to Routine
Work Is of Note.
Senator Stephenson is one of the
few statesmen who retains the old
time snuff habit, and when he takes
out his snuff box and begins his rem
iniscences, curving his head in a
characteristic way, you know there
is a good story coming. While in
congress he has always given special
attention to routine work, which
many senators disregard. Every day
he sends a bunch of bills and resolu
tions to the desk, and sees to it that
proper appropriations are made for
improvements in his state. Senator
Stephenson has the distinction of be
ing the one business man who in all
his large operations, involving mil
lions, never signed a note or had one
indorsed for him—but with his pack
on his back early and late, started
early in life to build up his own for
tune, buying pine lands when every
one wanted to sell, and holding fast
to his investments. —Detroit Free
Press.
THE NEIGHBORS’CHICKENS.
This is the time of year when
your neighbor’s chickens that are al
lowed to run at large become a nui
sance and a pest. Just about the
time you have your flower bed or
truck garden all nicely laid out and
planted, along comes a roving chan
ticleer and his harem and they pro
ceed to play the dickens with it and
spoil the efforts and hard work of
several days. Why some people in
sist on letting out their chickens,
thereby violating the law and incur
ring their neighbors’ displeasure and
sometimes enmity, has never been
explained, but they do.—Newcastle
Courier.

REAL OBJECT OF FEMINISM
To Marke Women Stockholders With
Men in the Business of Life,
Says Writer.
To meet life undaunted; to labor,
to succeed or to fall, as human indi
viduals. not by men; to seek their
own success in self-chosen, appropri
ate paths unhampered by laws or
conventions from which men are ex
empt —these, we take it, constitute
the ultimate object of the revolt of
the women.
And that sums up feminism, con
sidered as a great instinctive human
movement. It is another and a very
great step toward the realization of
human freedom. Freeing the 1 women
follows naturally, and in civiliza
tion’s own good time, upon freeing
slaves.
Feminism, then, is in essence and
fact a spiritual attitude. But it fol
lows as the night the day that, to be
effective, there is involved the power
as well as the principle of freedom.
Women must become the civic and
the social equals of men. It makes
little difference whether or not they
shall use this power; the fact that
they possess it, rather that they
should not be forbidden its posses
sion, is the magic that will break
the shackles. The object of femi
nism is to make women stockholders
with men in the business of life.—
Century.
SAVES LIFE BY MARRIAGE
Man Coolness Caused Girl’s
Collapse Weds Her, and All
Is Happiness.
Miss Mildred C. Voorheis and
Earl T. Schaffer were married by the
Rev. J. B. Sweet in the belief that
the young woman’s marriage was the
only sure method of restoring her
mental balance and saving her life.
She had been at the point of death
since two weeks ago, when Mr.
Schaffer informed her of his inten
tion to break their engagement.
The young woman, who was prom
inent in religious and social work, be
came unconscious at that time, and
when she was aroused was
calling constantly for her fiance. Al
a result the doctors insisted that Mr.
Schaffer sit constantly by her bed
side in the hope that if she regained
consciousness his presence would re
store her mind. She became con
scious about a week ago, and the
sight of Schaffer seemed to restore
her mind. The physicians then an
nounced that the only certain means
of keeping her from collapsing again
was for him to keep his promise to
marry her. This he did.—Bingham
ton (N. Y.) Dispatch to New York
Herald.
