WR AL SILVER" y Accounts Passed--Pepnty Returning | Weird Tribute Paid to the Duke of | g | h Warwickshire, * customs die hard England." One as guaini dm cur. ous as is old st flourish 16g in Jealy Warwickshire, 'as iy dic d in the far-off days of fe wdalism, On Knightlow Hill, an eleva commanding a fine view over the ity of Coventry, where Godiva took her famous ride in her "birth day suit," there was en acted belore sunrise one Saturday recently (Martinmas Morn), a weird acene. In obedience to a time-honorad char. * ter, the representatives of the var fous parishes included in the Hun. dred of Knightlow repair every year at this early hit ar 10. the site of the primitive *'fol to tonde r their tribute of money' to the steward of the Duke of Bue eleuch; who isthe lord of 1 the manor: At the presint day thé number of places" liable to the paves: 25; the sums varying from two cents to 58 gents and amounting in all to the Imposing total] of $2.25 What may .be the meaning of the term "wroth silver," probably not @ven the duke and his stbward know for certain, seeing that thé amtiquar izn authorities are divided on the subject. By some it i id to repre- @-money paid by tenants in lieu of cagtle guard or military ser vite. By others it js supposed to be bloed, or "wroth" money, paid by the Hundred as compensation for the murder of some notable person. Oth- ers, again, believe it to be an acknowl. edgment of the lord of the manors elaim to all waste lands within the Hundred. - y * The most commonly accepted ver. sion, however, is that "wroth silver" was the price paid for the privilege of using certain roads through the Hundred -- a kind of early highway rate, the survival of which im this particular ease is attributed. t¢ tha special' grant made to Sir Francis Leigh by King Charles I. One thing is dertain, however--the Duke of Buc- cleuch can legally demand thest pay- ments, and a curious penalty hangs aver the head of any « J fauliter. "For the. charter lays down that for 'every nny not forthcoming, the respons. ble party shall be fined twenty shil lings, or forfeit "a white bull with réd nose and ears of the same color." Only ones within the past century has this bovipe penalty been enfore- éd, and on that occasion the animal was rejected on the ground that it did flot come up to the specification. It wonld indeed be difficult ty insist on that penalty nowadays, as sach a herd of cattle is extinet. In thé centre of a mound on Knight: low Hill is a square block of weather- ed stone--all that now remains of an old wayside cross. Where the shaft once rose," a' cavity has been scooped out, and it is into this hole that the representatives of the Old "Merrie » in 39 ted spot Lady ig contribut- ing parishes cast their tribute to the lord, of the manor. When the first faint streaks of dawn appear in the edstern sky on Martinmas morning, lights may be seen flickering in the little windows of the contiguous old Dun Cow Inn, where hot rum and milk will seon be served out grati te those who have braved the rigors of a raw November morning. Until récent times the Duke of Bue« cleuch, placed no limit on the number of guests whom, for old custom's sake he delighted to entertain by dep- uty after the bleak ordeal on Knight low Hill. The yearly increase in the company, however, obliged him to draw a line, and now it is enly the representatives of the parishes con- cerned who are entertained at a free breakiast, and even then the 'duke is a heavy loser on the annual tribute. A GQigarette Fiend. Henry Labouchere, editor and pro- prietor of London Truth, and one of the most remarkable men living, has always been 8 heavy smoker of ciga- rettess" Mr. T. P. O'Connor says that "Labby" was the most constant smok- er in the British House of Commons in his time." He never had a cigarette out of his mouth # he could help it. "It was, curiously enough, his one passion and one indulgence," says Mr. O'Connor, "This extraordinary man, always. wealthy, and always able to have anything he liked, had simpler tastes than most peasants. He rarely touched wine, and when he did it was a glass of elapet and water, and this he took with palpable dis- like, and usually dither because he was ordered by his doctor to do so, or because on the continent he thought wine less 'dangerous than water." When he was a member of the House of Commons, Mr. O'Connor adds, Mr, Labouchere never could remain in his seat more than a quarter of &n hour; he had to rush off to the smoke rooms to have a whiff of his cigarette. spite his cigarette habit, Mr. Lab. ouchere, being temperate in other re- spects, has seen buried two genera. tions of Hard livers, amd his vitality and. brilliance se¢ra unimpaired, Tennyson as a Star Gazer. Star gazing had a tonic effect upon Tennyson.
