THE PRESIDENT
AND JULIUS CAESAR.
My dear Caesar observed President
Roosevelt to the famous Roman, when the
two met for the first time in the ~neighbor-
hood of the Capltoline Hill, at Rome. the
trouble with you was that while YOU
preached and practiced to a considerable
extent the strenuous life. your practice was
unscientiiic. You ought to have played foot
ball"
"Tushl' calculated Caesar. In vigorous
Latin, what good would football have done
me-"
1T would have made you hard as nails"
said President Roosevelt, land IL you had
been hard as nails those little tin swords of
the conspirators would have doubled up the
minute they struck your back"
Whereupon the President introduced the
great Roman to Mr.. Glass of Yale. who
gave him a practical demonstration Of the
truth of his remark There wasn't a sword

@ANECDOTES THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.@
EDITED BY JOHN KENDRICK BANGS.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY RDPUBLIc
In this instailmeut OF MIR. Wilberforce
Jenkins's Anecdotes That Might Have
Been We find a number OF illusions to
distinguished men OF the past, whose
names. for some possibly good reason, are
not to be found In any OF the editions Of
who's Who" published In this country
or in England.
Just why no alluslun has ever been made
in the list Of famous Americans to a man
70 influential In American hurnor a.
Dtogenes is not quite clear.
Certainly his tests are still current in a
number of our comic papers, and 1t is the
testimony Of several gentlemen who sur
vive the public dinner season OF last year
that many notable speakers drew upon the
stories Of wit left behind him by the cynic
philosopher for the coruscatinG bits that
made their periods scintillate.
Nor can we find In the English WHO'S
Who any reference to julius Caesar.
whose visit to Britain in his own day was
quite as Important rs that Of Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain at the present to South Africa.
Indeed, one of the great values of Mr..
Jenkins's anecdotes. to my mind. is the
inspiration they will give TO a large por-
ton of the reading public to desire 10 know
moro of these famous personages OF the
past.
II out Of this desire for Information there
may eventuate a compilation of biographies
of Who's Beens." or possibly of Has
Beens. Both Living and Dead the anec-
dotes will not have been published I'm vain.

DIOGENES II CYNIC
MEETS MIR DEVERY.
When Diogenes. the Greek philosopher.
was visiting the United States recently. as
is well known, instead OF putting up at
some OF New York's famous hOStelries. he
brought with him his celebrated tub. which,
according to his own account, was almost

as In the corridors Of the Wallcdln-H ys-
~teria." he said. and. there being no cafe.
the temptation to overeat and drink is not
80 ercat."
Asked his impression OF the United States,
he replied that there was only one United
State that was worth talking ubOut and
that was m~atrimony.
OF his trip across the water he had only
to say that undoubtedly the Atlantic WAS n
bigger ocean than the Adriatic, but as far
as he was able to see il was not "a bit
wetter, which was about all an ocean was
good for. anyway.
Meeting MIR. Devery at that distinguished
statesman's headquarters, the famous cynia
gssed at him long and anxiously.
Tell mo all you can touchin' on and ap-
~pertain' to yourself. Mr.. Devery,'' he said,
as his scrutiny relaxed. 1T may be that
YOU are the man I've been looking for for
going on three thousands years"
YOU'D make a first class New York po-
uceman." returned Devery, az 1t takes you
that long TO pinch the man you're lookin'
for"
"Ah." said Diogenes, but am looking
for an honest man."

I'm him.
