AUCTIONING OFF A WIFE
Last C a m of a One* Rutter Common
Custom In I n fla t e .
In the far east rules and restric
tions may be made to yield to in
fluence with a latent force behind
it, aa instanced by this serio-comic
incident found in Captain A. B.
Tofrnahend’s books “ A Military Con
sul In Turkey.”
A oertain highly influential fo r
eigner at Adrianople some yean ago
wanted -a Christmas tree and order
ed one from Sofia to come by train,
but when the tree, an unpretentious
little fir about ten feet high, ar
rived at Adrianople station some
one discovered that it was illegal to
receive "plants" from abroad.
^fYasak" (it is forbidden), said
the custom house.
"Yasak," echoed the sentry on
date.
The foreigner said whatever was
the equivalent to “ rubbish” and de
manded the tree.
It was loug a popular teller among
the Ignorant In Kuglaud ttet U C man
oold bis Wife at public anction such
a sale had all the legality of a res
lar divorce. The latest case of tl
kind on record occurred la 1832.
John Thompson, a termer, bad bean
married for three years, and be and
bis wife agreed to separate. Thomp
son brought bis wife Into the town of
Carlisle, and by the bellman annocne-
ed be waa about to sell ter.
At midday Thompson placed I
wife on a large oak chair with a rope
or halter of straw about her neck. He
then made this announcement: “Ge

my wife, Maty Anne Thompson, oth;

“She has been to me only a born

my tormentor, a domestic curse, a

Indeed, gentlemen, she reminds me of
what the poet says of women In ge

get his tree, and he said he must
have it within forty-eight hours.
Arrival and Departure o f Pas-
Some one at the custom house
soared above the difficulty. The tree
was sent on to Stamboul on the
Orient express, an eight hours’ jour
ney. It came back to Adrianople
by the next train, and the person
for whom it was intended received
a notice that “ a tree from Constan
tinople” had arrived for him and
would at once be handed over to hia ~ Heaven gave to women the peeulfa
messenger.
So the wretched little Bulgarian
tree had become a Turkish one,

Baron Munchausen when hunt
ing for deer upon one occasion en
countered a magnificent animal, but
found himself without shot. Speed-
cherry stones, he loaded his gun
with them and fired at the deer,
hitting him squarely between the
eyes, not killing him, however. Tbe
deer managed to escape, but some
time later the baron encountered
him again and was surprised to see
a beautiful cherry tree growing out
o f the animal's forehead, coveted
with blossoms and fruit.
N othing in our modern record o f
extravagance in costly feeding
touches the old East India cam-
net*, which (Mr. Glad-

given to Talfourd in celebration o f
som e copyright triumph which cost
£2 17s. 6d. a head. Those were the
days o f the gourm and, when it was
not uncommon fo r a rich man to
entertain forty-eight guests at a
cost o f £560, as much as £150 being
on flowers alone.
