however, they lose in knowledgeable hu-

pie, As we learn to worship their ashes
we forget to know them as our brothers.
We lose and they lose more than anyone
gains by their apotheosis. And this sad
confusion is embittered in the case of
many American personages by the acute
differences in point of view. Hence the
same man will be demigod to the north
and clown to the south. The national
pantheon will include the mans Satan
in the person of that mans superman.
Where ideals differ there must be more

time its destination was the island of
Cuba At Havana it received it's fourth
burial, in the year 1875. In the year 1898
the Spanish flag was hauled down from
every staff in Cuba from which 1t had
fioated. The Spaniards had fought good
fight, but they fought in an unrighteous
cause. They lost, and made their prepa-
rations for transportation to Spain, their
homeland. But when the Spanish army
was about to take ship for Spain they
dsinterred the body of the brave old
sailor, Columbus, and once more he was
sailing the sea towards the sunrise. Upon
arriving on the shores of Spain fifth
burial was accorded the body and for
three years it lay in quietude. But a
sixth burial awaited 1t, and this took
place on November IT, 1902, at Seville.
Whether or not it will be removed in the
future no man can say.

heap of ashes. Here was the dust of
Pepn, the father of Charlemagne of
Henri ", of Marie de Medici, of Anne of
Austria, the queen of Louis XIV, and of
scores of others. They were all COM

same fate. The heads of dukes and kings
were cut off from their bodies and were
rolled over the stone pavement of st.
Denis as If they had been balls with

came to France an effort was made to re-
store the royal bodies to their old places
in the tombs of the church of st. Denis.
The tombs became re-occupied truly, but

him. The ruler seems to have been a
