of that great man, whom he believes to
have been one of the bravest men the

On one occasion Prendle was walk

they came suddenly upon a man who
was evidently endeavoring TO hide him
self in a dark corner at the bottom of
the staircase. Observing the stranger
and fearing he meant harm to the
president, Prendle essayed to place his
body in position to protect his COM
paniOn.
Mr.. Lincoln, however, brave and
fearless as always, stepped forward
and closely scrutinized the man, who
ran rapidly up the steps and, turning
squarely around when he reached the
top, looked down upon the president,
who did not falter, but continued to
gaze sharply at him. On their return
to the White House Mr.. Lincoln said

"Call o. Mye, Mr.. Bailiff," ordered
the court, and Barnett repeated the

of contempt of court, and when a meek

STORY OF GEORGE
 OF CAPPADOCIA
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Those persons who look upon Richard Croker, Mark Hanna ct al as past masters in the art of venaIity are invited to give heed to what Gibbon, the historian, says about George, the Cappadocian, who flour ished in Alexandria in the fourth century George was born in merchants shop. Gib- bon, who did not dream of the glories of the modern department store, where the fashion and beauty of great cities congre- gate at luncheon, refers contemptuously to Georges origin as obscrue and serVie. George appears, though, to have possessed great genius in the art called 'rjolying," wherewith he won the favor of the GUS toners of the store. The business of the institution prospered because many came to buy as a preteXt for enjoying the flattery of artful George, the Cappadocian Certain politicians of influence manifested their fa- vor by putting the young dry goods clerk in the way of making money out of the government. They, fixed him up with con- tract to supply the Roman army in Egypt with bacon
 once started on the road to wealth, George made tremendous progress and was soon known as the principal plutoerat and boodler of Alexandria. But the good gov ernment element was aroused by the ex- treme greed of George and he was de- nounced as the greatest corruptionist who ever lived. However, the riches of George and the influence of persons who feared he would squeal if squeezed too hard, enabled him to escape justice.
 Now, by his genius George performed the greatest feat in the history of boodling, ancient or modern. He had been disgraced and shorn of his corrupt power seemingly beyond hope. In the midst of the scandal George professed to repent of his sins and became extremely deyout. He used the remnant of his plunder to ostenta tiously accumulate a splendid library on rhetoric and theology. So pious, learned and noble did the once hated boss and pIutocrat be- come in the eyes of the people that he was regarded as a most distinguished expound- CT of ArianiSm. He fiattered the rulers and the dear people to such limit that he was created archbishop of Alexanf~.a and Egypt.
 George soon assumed the airs of a satrap and surrounded himself with the luxuries and pomp of a king. Meantime George gathered unto himself the greatest string
The age-herald., 1900-10-28

of monopoles ever known. He obtained exclusive control of nitre, salt, paper and even funerals But, while George was one of the smoothest parties that ever lived he could not restrain his avarice, ard there by he fell a second time.
 Between the pagans and the Christians he had managed to hold himself aloft by pitting one against the other just like the modern bosses are sustained by the con- tentions between their parties. George did not practice the great scheme of the Dem ocratic machine in Missouri of holding the taxes down, so that, when anybody kicks about the misuse of the public revenue they can answer: Think how low the taxes aren' He was too greedy to do that, and finally, completely carried away by his cu- pidity, he claimed that he owned the entire real estate of Alexandria under an old grant of the founder of the city. The peo- pie revolted and were put down with con- siderable difficulty by the civil and military authorities. While the mob still nursed it's wounds Julian became Emperor at Rome and Georges removal from office was an- nounced.
 George was promptly lynched. but even in death he continued to fool future gen. erations. Finding that he had no chance of escape, he died like a martyr, and hero and saint. The lynehers tried to prevent him from being canonized by heaping in- dlgnit1es upon his body. but they were tofled. According to Gibbons St George of Cappadocia became the renowned St. George of England
 G1obon is more interesting than accurate, sometimes, but there is really some ground for his assertion that St. George was the celebrated greedy army contractor land grabbing monopolist and plutocrat and pious fraud of Alexandria, a fact which the pro-Boer orators overlooked and for which heaven be praised.
