Correspondence OF THE MORNING CALL


Never has the French Academy been
more criticized than at the present day.
It is accused of admitting within its sa-
cred precincts men who have no claim to
literary greatness. and excluding those
who are an honor to France. 1t is charged
with welcoming among the immortals men
who possess great titles, great riches and
great social position, rather than authors
of distinction. But. the bitterest enemies
of the French Academy must now be ST.

ton of Viscount Henri de Bornier. who

An engineers party ofone of the big

rest from the hard labor they had put in

to push on and get into the United States.

based on the legislation In force in seyera

His Brilliant Deeds and
Unhappy Death.
..WIERD SUPERSTITION.
Lives of Three Mobiles of the rlikado's
Empire Which Read Like
Romance.
Written for THE MORNING CALL.

The most romantic figure in Japanese
history and the knight sans peur ct sans
reproche of native historical romance is
Yoshitsune, young hero who lived in the
twelfth century.
Many OF the old classical dramas are
founded upon scenes in his life, and his
famous fight with the giant Benkei. who
afterward became his servant. is favor
lite theme for artists and novelists.
Coolies frequently have his face tattooed
upon their bronze skins. and all boys with
military aspirations pray to be endowed
with his spirit.
The story of Yoshjtsune's life is so inter-
woven with that of his two brothers,
Yorimoto and Noryori. that it is impos-
sible to give any clear account of the
adventures and deeds of one without
speaking of all three. The lives of these
three Japanese mobiles read like romances.
