executing natives of the Island of Sa.

One native was tied TO a tree and
publicly shot in the thigh. The next
day the man was shot in the arms.
The fourth day he was shot in the
body and the next day the native

FREDERICK THE GREAT.

This is a pleasing way Of returning a
favor and viii be accepted in the spirit
in which II was rendered. It is interest
ing to note, however. that the Emperor
has done sly bit OF advertising for
Germany, and it is no discredit to him.
While Henry was here there was a
great revival CT interest in Frederick
the Great, the creator OF Prussia. and
thereby the founder OF the present Ger
man empire On every. occasion Prince
Henry listened to Die Wacat am
Rhine" and then TO a speech in which
was retailed the great appreciation
which Frederick had for WASHINGTON.
As a result the historical sharps got to-
Gether and have been fighting over that
point ever since.
One Of the cherished tales of our his
tory Is that Frederick sent q sword to
W dShlngtOn with the message. From
the Oldest soldier to the greatest" This
has been put through the crucibIe of
criticism and has como out in ragzed
condition.
Then the story was shifted to a por-
trait. ard even that has not been Rain
tanned Historians have tried to prove
that Frederick permitted Fessians to
march through his territory 20 sail for
this country. and, though Their, IS moth
ing particularly repTchensibre in such
conduct, il does appear that on certain
. occasions he forbade the troops safe
passage and that he expressed adrfra-
ZION Tor thc Americans. That he had a
high regard for Washington seems not
only pretty well established historically
but by inference seems certain. Surely
the man who fought so long against
such odds and achieved success must
have admired the heroic spirit OF Wash
! ington. who, under totally different cir
cumstances achieved a more notable vic
tory.
