THE TRUE ST GEORGE OF ENGLAND
SOME MISTAKES OF GIBBoN AND EMERsON-AN
INJUSTICE TO vEsPUCIIs
% the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In view of the century of injustice now
closing In bloody struggle between Great Britain
and the South African republics. l am not much
concerned In any effort to rehabitate ST. George
of England effort which you suggest In your
issue Of April 80 should be made by somebody
The account of st. George, as mIschievously
given by Gbbon copied by Emerson and many
others, and quoted in your columns. represents him
as a robber and murderer who was lynched by a
mob, fate that he deserved. Were this st. George
living now he would doubtless be an up to date
Christian of the Gospel according to Kipling type
and a suitable patron saint for the imperialistic
missionary nation which has made itself respon-
sble for the capitalistic raid being waged in
the Orange Free State en- route to the Transvaal.
But as always read The Tribune with interest
even when do not agree with It's views. I should
like to a correct account of St George appear
in It,
The true ST. George, who made a patron
saint of England by Edward III. was as decent
st. Patrick Is said to have been He was
a native of Cappadocia; he entered the Roman
army In his boyhood and rose to high rank Dur
ing the persecution under Diocletian he proclaimed
himself a Christian and suffered martyrdom A D.

THE BEGINNING
Once a cherub ran away,

Once a cherub ran away,
Wandered from the flock astray
While they romped in meadow skies
Like lot Of butterflies;
Long they sought him everywhere,
Under clouds and in the air,
Where the laughing cherubs peek
When they play at hide-and-seek;
All in vain, for not a trace
Found they of his chubby face,
Till letter came one day
From inc earth SO far away,
Written with starlet dipped in dew
Penned upon cloudlet blue,
And the truant cherub wrote
In most ungracious note
That he'd found the world so fair,
He'd become baby there!
Now, when cherubs disappear,
All the others futtering near
Whisper of the fatal day
When the first one ran away.
