The Romans had held sway IN Britain

When he Rloomilv told the others about
It they gave him the grand laugh.
Then each one in turn quietly informed
Emerson that he himself was going to
be insured. They all tried and all were
rejected.
''One day they met at the race-traclx,
and Emerson remarked: Say, boys. we
couldn't get insured bat I've got

money. 1t was given to Billy Elliot. a
booBmaker. and he deposited il in a
New York bank. 1t was deposited in
such a way that any one of dozen
boOkmakers could draw il out at any
tiEse. This was done so a. TO be sure
that the last man would be able 10 get
the money without any trouble. At
this time poor Winnipeg was an awful
sight, and people thought he would die
al any minute. Yet he would come TO
the track every day. and whenever he'd
run across one of the other three he'd
guy him about the money they had put
up. You fellows will be dead and
gone before they put me in bed he'd
say. Those who knew him used 70

Britain had been drained of many Of
its Roman troops in the campaigns in
aid Of Maximus and in the conquest of
Bretagne in Gaul. But it was never
overrun like Spain. Germany and Italy,
By the barbarian tribes OF Goths, Huns,
Vandals, or Visigoths. In no part Of
Europe were the chances so good Of
preserving the Roman blood in so large
a measure. From the Saxons, Angles
and Danes the English blood may have
drawn saving, trading and Flooding
qualities. From the original tattooing
Britons, Silures or Welsh, Picts and
Gaels, they derived endurance and
toughness under defeat. But how could
they escape deriving from four centu-
ries of Roman admixture those domi-
mating and legislative forces which
make the modern British race success
sors to the ancient Rome?
How little Gladstone's fea lures differ
from Cicero's or those of Victor Hugo
from the bust of Homer! The face Of
the most distinguished Gen. Won Moltke
is a close production TO that OF julius
Caesar, yet it is not one whit moro
purely Roman than that of typical
American lawyer and senator, Lyman
Trumbun, of Illinois. The English and
Americans become. on little investi-
cation. more clearly the countrymen Of
Cato, Caesar, Angelo, Calico, Columbus
and Napoleon tina thousands of those
who were born within the sound of the
Tiber, but of immigrant blood from
Sicily, Lydia, Egypt, or Thrace. The
British and American type of character
is not Ang lo-Saxon. 1t did not orig
mate on the Elbe: it derives its strong
est traits from that race which has
been the most forceful and masterful
Tor thirty centuries.

From he New Yo.L acraid.
The amateur traveller. as his friends
call him, was in meditative frame OF
mind, and everyone knew that over the
second cup of black coffee which fol-
lowed his dinner he was thinking Of
some foreign land. BY that mysterious
principle of thought transference which
everybody knows nothing about, a
Tribune man asked, did you ever see
live duke at home?"
Yes" he said. II was Just thinking
about one duke l saw. had driven
out from Palermo to the races at La
Favorita, where in an amphitheater
of great mountains the Sicilian nobility
had gathered to see some bad racing.
1t was one OF the most beautiful spots
on earth. The great mountains
hemmed about level plane, and it
seemed too grand for horse racing. But,
then, it was not real racing, You know,
only a weak imitation, which really
did not detract from the sublimity Of
the place, but gave people an excuse for
being there. We were driving back
after the races through the Corso,
where up and down the Sicilian great
men passed one another, when, swing
ing mp the broadway, l saw carriage,
the panels of which blaze3 with armor-
ial bearings. 1t ,5as of an ancient and
most respectable make and was drawn
by four white horses on two of which
were positions in liveries of blue and
ell IN he
sat two footmen in the same livery, and
on the footboard behind were two
more, all four with cooked hats and
white, curling wigs.
ION the blue velvet cushions of the
carriage reclined an old man with
snow-white imperial and mustache. DE
was heavy of face and figure, and from
beneath dropping eyelids lusterless
eyes looked out, as If upon a world in
which he had seen nothing except
safety. His forehead was high, his
nose aquiline and his whole air one of
aristocratic repose. It was a strong
face and one to be remembered. ! can
see it now rising through the mists Of
memory above those OF kings and
princes. As the carriage swept by and
was lost in the throng of the crowded
Corso l asked my driver, who was
that?' The Duke de Ia - he an
swered. 1t was an ancient name, long
known in Italy, and | speculated as /
drove up and down what that man
might have accomplished had he not
been born duke. That night. at the
Hotel de France. remarked that had
seen the duke that day in the Corso,
for his strong face was in my mind. The
company, two or three of the old
Sicilians and an Englishman long resi-
dent, laughed, and one said: 80, yes;
as clever man as you would want to
meet. except for his dukedom.'
How is that?'
Why, he was a poor peasant boy
who worked like fits, and finally made
a fortune by inventing a new kind of
chewing gum. He put his money in
railroad contracts and made more.
Then he bought the De la - estate,
and in those days the title went with
the estate. so he is duke, as you see
him. The last of the De la IS have
long since slept in their family sepul-
cher, but for energy and ability will
match this chewing gum man against
any one of them that ever lived
