Although of the most earnest and widey-quoted sup

To apply the charitable test to the present
straton after the first all evident lack of knowledge of

without apology approve of the administrations a number
of good reasons:
There has been scandal connected with Governor Bra

There has been graft. That some few bio corpora
tons have not been at all times well pleased argues well
his stand for the people That other gigantic corporations
seeking to into the state square deal basis

The departments of the state government have been
ceptonaly well handled. There has been almost frc-

The governor has not lacked courage once he got fairly

his party, and himself in the campaign Outside Of the local

there has been great issue great crises would put

MOST REN0WNE OF SNAKES
Versatile Monster, Which Was Known
as the God Aesculapus, Ac-
cording to Lucian.

No snake that ever lived won great
or fame for the time than Alexander's.
Lucian tells the story, George Harvey
says III the North American Review.
Apollonius, a master of the magic
arts, had many disciples, among
whom was a practicing physician who
lived in Abonotichus, a small town
on the shore of the Black sea. There
Alexander was born of humble parent
age and imbibed from the old doctor
all that he had learned from Apol
lonius Of medicine and magic. Soon
he fell in with one Cocconas, d shrewd
tlpster for the races and somewhat
OF juggler. The two rogues joined
forces and meandered about telling
fortunes. Arriving at Pella, they
found a great number of huge, harm
less snakes, which lived in the houses,
played and slept with the children and
destroyed poisonous rats. Alexander
promptly purchased one of the largest,
a Yeritable monster so tame that ii
would coil about his body and remain
in any desired position. Then he
made human face for it out of linen
painted it ingeniously, and shaped it
so that the mouth would open and
shut by an arrangement of horsehair,
letting the fosked tongue shoot in and
out at the Will Of the master Hav-
ing no further use for Coconnas, he
either administered poison to him or
let him die from some infection and
returned with his snake to his ma
tive town. There he declared himself
a prophet and announced that the god
Aesculapius was about to appear. The |
people were credulous, excitable and
eager for new divinity.
When the great day arrived Alexan-
der pretended to discover in a puddle /
OF water a goose egg which he had /
placed there after removing the con
tents, substituting a small embryo
snake just born and carefully sealing
the shell with wax When the multi
tude had gathered he broke the shell
ana produced the tiny creature, which
in few moments grew to be the
monster from Pella by the simple 4
process of substitution. Thereafter
the big snake, believed to be Aescula
Plus, led busy life. He gave
told fortunes in writing, and
even spoke freely with the aid of the
prophets ventriloquial powers. Alex
ander grew rich and powerful, kept
a small army of retainers and spies.
Welded no little influence over the
government even at Rome and died
at ripe old age in the fullness of ,
ms renown. What became of the
snake nobody knows Probably at the
ast the prophet dispatched the faith
iul creature to prevent the discovery

A FAMOUS PICTURE MATCHED
Companion Piece of PAINTING in the
Frankfort Museum Is in
America.

One Of the most widely-known col
lectors of old masters in this country
recently has acquired from the Enrich
galleries two canvases for his collec-
ton. These are Portraits of Frau
Urmiller and Daughter by a Suabian
master of about 1925, and Portrait
of a Venetian Lady" by Bernadino
Licinio (about 154O).
Especially interesting in connection
with the example of early South Ger
man portraiture is the fact that it is
the companion piece to a painting in
The Frankfort museum, representing
Herr Urmiller and son Until four or
five years ago the Frankfort work was
always attributed to and admired as a
Holbein. The latest criticism, how
ever, has attributed the painting to
some unknown but extraordinary mas
ter who painted in the neighborhood
OF Augsburg in the first half of the
sixteenth century.
,Licinio, whose work consists prin-
cipally of portraits and family groups,
worked during the greater part of his
life in Venice and indicates the in.
huence of Titan. Examples of his pic
lures are found in the principal gal
leries of Europe. The delicacy of out
line, richness of color and purity of
condition make the picture recently
acquired from the Enrich galleries a
notable example Of Licinia,s work.
