Back went the reporter to the West End, reaching the street where his man now lived late In the evening. lie found the house to be the very one In which he lived himself. Walk ing up the steps, he mechanically took out his latchkey and let himself in. The fa miliar process called up the other half unconscious acts that regularly followed the unlocking of the door, and die obeyed the suggestion. Walking upstairs, he en tered his room, fit the gas, took off his clothes, turned the gas out, got Into bed and went to sleep. The next day his city editor called him In and asked him what became of him the night before, why he didn't at least send in some word about his story. He ex plained truthfully. That was his mistake. He is now in a different business. KISSING THE HOOK. A Relic of the Time AVlien Kissing "Was General In Merry England. London Lancet. Sir Francis Jeune and Mr. Justice Gorell Barnes have had posted outside the two courts of the probate, divorce and ad miralty division notices to witnesses call ing their attention to the fact that they may be sworn In the Scotch manner before giving evidence. That is to say, they may be sworn with uplifted hand, repeating a solemn invocation to the deity, Instead of taking a book and kissing it after listen ing to a form repeated by a minor official of the court. The notice to which we refer is repeated outside one of the courts of the chancery division, and we have every hope that it may become universal. We have for many years contended that the cath by kissing a book has nothing to commend it, while it is nasty and may be come a means of propagation of disease, and we have seen with regret that the statutory permission to swear in the Scotch fashion was, as a rule, not known by wit nesses and frequently, also, that judges, coroners and magistrates were ignorant of it. The form of swearing by kissing a book is purely one of custom. There Is no direct authority for' it in any at of Parliament, or rule, or book of practice. The date. also, of its introduction is unknown, but this is not because it has been lost in the mists of antiquity, for it is fairly certain that, so recently as at the end of th- seventeenth century, if the form existed It was not in any general use. it has been pointed out that Coke in his institutes makes no men tion of kissing the book, but writes of the "corporal oath" as thus named because the -witness touched with his hand a por tion of the Scriptures, und this aspect of the cath, no doubt, survives In the familiar warning of the usher to the witness to remove the glove before taking the Testament for the purpose of kissing it. It is also observed in the "Book of Oaths," of which an edition was published in 1&S3, there is no mention of kissing ft book. How the kissing originated is, we believe, almost Block Co.

The laying of the hand on the gospels In swearing is. no doubt, of great antiquity, while the laying of the hand on the altar of a deity in invoking the deity to- witness a statement or promise is older than the gos pels. The laying of the hand on the gos pels has its parallel in other countries be sides England. The kissing of the book is, however, we believe, peculiar to England, or to England and Ireland, and It is not quite easy to assign Its origin to the kissing of relics when we apparently find It intro duced in England after all veneration for relics had been swept away and made Ille gal. It Is worth noting that English people were more addicted to kissing once than they are now. Kissing as a fcrm of salu tation was so common among them that It excited the interest and amusement of foreigners. Erasmus refers to it and a Hungarian gentleman who visited London and moved in good society in 1G63 was much struck with the way In which men kissed ladles when they greeted them where Hun garians would have shaken hands. Even Frenchmen in the middle ages held kissing as a peculiarity of the English nation, much as we remark upon it now among the French. It is. therefore, at least possi ble that the kiss bestowed upon the book in taking an oath may have been not so much a kiss of veneration as a form of saluta tion or acknowledgment by bodily con tact, somewhat more ceremonious than manual contact, but still not associated with any great feeling of solemnity. Ilent of IleuKona. New York Evening Tost. The East Side "kid" Is nothing if not pre cocious. A diminutive Italian, not yet nine years old, was a witness in an assault case tried on Thursday before Deputy Police Commissioner Thurston. The boy had b'-n clubbed, "when he wasn't doin' nothln but stand on the corner." "Were you playing craps, as the officer savs?" Colonel Thurston asked. "Naw." "You know how to play It?" "Sure!" "Then how did it happen that you weren't playing on this occasion?" Leaning forward eagerly and holding up his hand schoolboy fashion, the mite ex plained : "I didn't have no pennies that day."
