Leighton Buzzard, Eng.—Tills town has a queer name but even queerer Is Its manner of expressing gratitude. Figuratively speaking the town of Leighton Buzzard stands on Its head to say “Thank You." In the days of Charles L a wealthy London merchant, Edward Wilkes, left several parcels of land to Leighton Buzzard, the income* from which was to be devoted to charity. He stipulated In bis will that the ceremony of “beat Ing the bounds,” In which the parish officials go over the chief boundaries j tapping them with a long willow stick on Ascension day, should be conclude*! with a public entertainment. For years Leighton observed thU stipulation and then suddenly decided It would be nice to honor the memory of Sir George by having a boy stand on hts head on each parcel of land during the beating of the bounds. This has gone on for generations, and each year, months before the ceremony, there Is a strong competl lion among the boys of the village to be elected the official »‘headstnndcr." While the parish official reuds the clause of the will dealing with each parcel of land on which they are standing, the boy remains in a feet-up position on the parcel. This custom has shown no signs of dylpg out.
