An Ancient City That 10 still stately
and Fascinating.

and Fascinating.
For a thousand years Rothenburg
has been a city. For more than 500
years it was a free city of the en-
pire. 1t is not like those ancient
towns which, through centuries of
strife, preserved their entity
through being huddled near the
base of some great castle. 1t is not
like those towns that were protect
ed by powerful princes, for it has
maintained itself by its own unaid-
ed sturdiness. If great barons
came to Rothenburg they came to
receive protection, not to give it, or
else they came TO be entertained
with the lavish open handedness
that made the city a place to which
emperors themselves found pleasure
in resorting.
BY crusaders and pilgrims Roth
enburg was held in affectionate re-
gard, not only for its generous hos
pitality, but because, seen from the
river, it bore a striking resemblance
to Jerusalem. But there was order
in those times of turbulence, and in
an old, old house used by Palestine's
pilgrims and still known as Pill
grims' House there is an ancient
stone, bearing upon it an ancient
carving of a hand and a Ratchet,
with the ominous inscription, ale
who quarrels in this house shall
have his hand cut off"
Yet since those early days the
town has been comparatively for
gotten. Even yet it has not become
a haunt of the tourist and the trav-
eler, although each year a few
Americans resort there, bringing
back tales of this city that out
Nurnbergs Nurnberg. 1t is easily
reached, being on a little branch
line from the railway between
Frankfort and Munich.
1t is a place where the sightseer
cannot go wrong, for everywhere
is fascination. There are both
stateliness and beauty. There r
towering houses with crisscrossed
fronts.
There are deep dungeons under
the Rathhaus, reached by stairways
dripping with moisture, into which
not a ray of light car enter, and in
one of these dungeons some five
centuries ago the men of Rothen-
burg placed the burgomaster who,
more than any other in the long
burgomasterial line, gave to the
city power and wealth and prosper
ity. But they charged him with
conspiring with the emperor and
not only gave him no light, but
edged their luminosity by deliber-
ately giving him no food. 1t is in
all a fercely dramatic story, for
friends who were still faithful tun-
neled to the cell and madly cut
through its prodigious wall and
reached the prisoner, but only to
find him dead.
Nowadays they treat unpopular
burgomasters with more considera-
ton. Each burgomaster is chosen
for three years, and at the end of
that time he is either elected for
life or gives place to a successor.
But an election for life does not
give unchecked power, for it is a
simple matter with these townsfolk,
if they tire of a life chosen mayor,
to make him $50 crazy with vexa-
tion," as it was expressed to me,
that he is glad to resign and ac-
cept the pension that they pallia-
lively offer. Only recently they thus
got rid of one.-Robert Shackleton
in Harper's Mazazine.

Controversy over the North Pole
has been absorbing the world S in

Which Found week Within two or

Cooks announcement
that he had reached the pole, came
that of Lieut.. Peary, to the effect
that he had attained the goal of his
desire and congratulations seemed
in order for both. 1t is fine to be
first, of course, to win in such an I'M
dertaking, nevertheless the dangers
and hardships would be under any
present means of getting to the pole
as great for the hundredth as for the
first, and the world was prepared to
congratulate both men in equal
measure. Then there developed on
Pearys part a spirit of bitterness
and ordinations and denominations
as to violation of polar ethics" have
been made by the Lieutenant and
his partisans and by the partisans of
r Cook The latter has so far re-
Trained from showing an ugly spirit,
which will add much to his laurels
if he is sincere, while Peary's aceu-
satfons, even if true, seem to have
come with unnecessary suddenness
and violence. Meantime, both men
are coming home, at which time
they will display their proofs before
those competent to judge their gen
uineness. Peary has been "dashing'

and if he finally touched it, we'll and
good; but he doesn't quite own the
spot, nor have any patent upon it, or
copyright to it, so if DR.. Cook got

comes the announcement that the
Federal investigation into conditions

The connection is very suggestive.
But if the Government has no iuris-

should investigate, and punish Hoff-

their fragrant violations of law, de-
