eeoroe w. Under Arrest.

The arrest of a man in New York
the other day for throwing refuse
about the streets revealed once more
the historic name of George Washing
ton on the police station blotter, the
Sun Of that city states. Like his IL
Iustrious namesake, the arrested man
could not tell a lie and owned his
guilt.
1t has been estimated by many who
have made a special study of geneal0-
gy and descent, as we'll as the spread
and change of names, that there are
in the world now 100000 males whose
baptismal name is George Wash
ington.
And Of those whose sole name is
George Washington, it is again esti-
mated that at least 5000 carry along
the inspired cognomen wherever they
go.
OF direct descendants, of couEse,
the Father of His Country had none.
Negroes by hundreds were named for
him by slave masters before the Civil
war. Since then the name has been
a favorite with those blacks who had
to choose a family appeIlation be-
cause of not being certain about their
pedigree.

EMPTY TOMB AT ST. HELENA
Longwood House, Where Napoleon
Died, Is in Ruins and French Ask
That 1t Be Preserved.

Complaint is made in France that
the government of the republic is neg
lecting the house in which Napoleon
died and the tomb in which his body
was laid at st. Helena before removal
to the Church of St Louis at the In
valides
In 1858 the LongwOod house, in
which the emperor lived during his
exile, and the plot in the Valley of
Geraniums, where his tomb was made
were given by Queen Victoria to Ma
poleon III. for the French government.
which desired to maintain them as
lasting memorials. But of late years
little has been done to preserve either
the home or the sepulcher The build
ing is falling into ruins, the farmers
of the neighborhood let their sheep
Craze in the valley. Visitors are few.
1t is believed that ere long a storm
will wreck the decaying building and
then in all probability the caretaker
will be withdrawn and the land aban-
~dOned to the farmer and the herds
man.
Sentiment will mourn over such sur
render of ground to utility, but it is in
evitabie. In world where the palaces
of Alexander and Caesar have crum-
bled into nothingness, there can be no

IS IT RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
COLA7

Men who play the willy game Of poll.
tics have discovered that the best way
to distract the attention of the public
from their own shortcomings is to
make a loud-mouthed sensational at
tack upon someone else AS the cut
fetish eIudes its pursuer by cIouding
the surrounding water with the con-
tents of its ink sac, so the political ad-
Venturer takes advantage of the igno-
rance and prejudices of the people to
escape from his indefensible position
by muddyine the waters Of public
opinion.
A case in point is the recent attack
made upon the religious press for
carrying Coca-CoIa advertising This
attack was made by a politician who
was supposed to be an expert in chem
istry but who, having brought suit
against the Coca-Cola Company, was
Inundated by having to acknowledge
that he could not qualify as an expert
The court decided in favor of the Coca
Cola Company as it was clearly shown
that the only essential difference be-
tween Coca-Coia and coffee or tea is
that the former contains only about
half as much lifeline as the latter and
that the flavor IL different.
The question as to whether it is right
to advertise Coca-Cola seems to resolve
itself therefore into the question as to
whether it is right to advertise coffee,
tea, chocolate, cocoa and other bever-

Christian Herald This was sent to

too distinguished citizen was invited,
in polite diplomatic terms, to take a
few years of retirement abroad-in
other words-he was officially exiled
for the good Of the state This was
''ostracism,'' so called from the fact, it
is explained, that the voting citizens
wrote their names on oyster shells,
and it was instituted as a measure Of
security to the commonwealth Any
citizen of great wealth OF influence,

Marry me ard I will hang diamonds
round your neck
Poor little Minetta, helpless and
hopeless, fell an easy victim to
Blanco. 1t must be admitted, though,
that he was deeply infatuated with
her girlish beauty So they were mar
ried and lived happily three months.
And then-Giuseppe came back.
Blanco had taken advantage of the
raw youths ignorance to have him
shanghaied aboard a Chesapeake oys-
terman. He had thought the life
would kill him; instead of which he
had grown strong. He came back to
find Blanco married to Minetta
Pooh, that is nothing" BIanco said
airiIy. Il thought you had run away.
1t was for your sake 1 married her.
Listen, Giuseppe. want an assistant
again. Stay with me and 1 will give
you ten dollars weekly
This seemed a fortune to Giuseppe
And he would have worked for moth
ing to be within sight of his beloved
Minetta. He felt dimIy that the day
might arrive when he could help her.
BIanco had laughed quietly at his
triumph. He felt sure that his cum
ming act, showing Minetta how he
despised her former sweetheart, would
make her despise him too But Minet-
ia did not despise Giuseppe.
Blanco, watching them, saw that
the old love was only dormant. He
knew that, though she would not have
dared let herself acknowledge it,
AIinetta still loved Giuseppe. He
dared not send him away, for he
wanted to have him in his sight con-
stantly.
He had tried in various ways to
kill him. Once he teased Nero and
sent Giuseppe into his cage But
Nero only crouched down at his feet
Another time he rubbed Giuseppe's
clothes with catnip. Giuseppe smelled
nothing and wondered why the big
cats fawned around him and rubbed
against him But here, too, he es-
capped disaster.
Then Blanco began to beat Minetta
and accused her openly OF loving
Giuseppe. When she denied this in

Giuseppe saw the bruise.
You have hurt yourself, Minetta,"
he exclaimed. What have you done?
Did you fall?"
Yes, I fell downstairs. sobbed
Minetta, shamefacedly. If she had
been little older she might not have
been so frightened. But Blanco was
all in the world to her; bad as the
man was, she loved him because she
had given herself to him

NERO, THE AVENGER
How Circus Lion Inflicted Just
Retribution on a Cruel
Trainer.
BY sIeIsMUNp 3. TALLER.

Nero had not been quite the same
for several weeks. Signor Blanco, his
trainer, had perceived nothing amiss,
because his eyes had lost their fine
keenness and his brain had grown
sodden and bewildered Nero obeyed
as quickly as ever, but when he
sprang, at the word of command, upon
his pedestal, there was a slight Quiv-
ering of his sides, a lashing of his
tail, which would have told Blanco a
story-once. But Blanco was mad
with drink and jealousy of his young
wife, Minetta.
Every trainer knows that the old
story Of Daniel and the lions is true.
The lion fears a good man more than
anything in the world. But let the
I trainer drink or give way to any base
impulse and his power is gone
AS for Matolica and Betty, they
were mere kittens of creatures, hard
ly larger than welLgrown Newfound-
lands And Parsifal, the tiger, was
old and toothless. Nero carried OF
the honors in Blanco's menagerie, and
Nero was so magnificent a Nubian
specimen that he would have made
any show respectable.
Minetta had noticed it So had Giu-
seppe. The girl had told Giuseppe,
and the apprentice had warned Blanco.
Blanco had laughed and sneered and
cut Nero across the face with his
heavy training whip. Nero retreated,
growing and licking his paws; he
longed to sink their needIe-like points
Into Blancos white flesh
The truth was that BIanco had been
beating his wife. Minetta was only
nineteen and they had been married
two years, Blanco was forty-five. He
had found Minetta starving on her ar
rival from Italy to marry Giuseppe,
who came from her village, and to
whom she had been pledged ever since
they were children.
Minetta had missed Giuseppe, for
Blanco, having seen her photo
graph, had cunningly contrived to
send Giuseppe astray He trailed her
for three days until her money was
exhausted. Then he made himself
known to her at her boarding house,
just as she was in the act of being
turned into the street.
Giuseppe has another girl he told
her. 4 am SignOr Blanco. No, I do

is the Italian nature No good, he
knew, ever came out Of evil.
Blanco drank constantly. Nero
knew it. Nero was watching him as
quietly as he watched Giuseppe. The
climax was very near when Giuseppe
saw BIanco strike M1netta through
the open door Of their tent
He had been counting the receipts,
but now he dropped these and, draw
ing his knife, rushed forward But
BIanco had gone into the lion house
before he arrived. BIanco was train
ing q new lion. Giuseppe must wait
Then he turned back, to see Minetta,
scarlet, with a white veal across her
face, waiting for him.
Il saw him" stammered Giuseppe.
Yes, saw you, too" she answered
When he struck me this time. Gu
seppe, 1 knew that I loved him no
longer. He is "a"
He is a DEVIL" shouted the young
man. lingering his blade. 'Minetta."
They looked at one another and fell
into each others arms. They knew
now that their two years had been
fruitless; they would always love one
another.
Giuseppe, you must CO." Minetta
sobbed at length. Go now, before
sin come upon u.s."
Giuseppe fought the hardest battle
of his life that moment. At last he
conquered; raising Minetta's hand to
his lips he walked slowly back to
the collection box. He would leave
Minetta again.
Minetta went into the lion house
presently. BlancO, who seemed par
ticularly amiabIe, called her into the
cage. She was not Ioath to go; she
was a better trainer than he.
BIanco caught his wife by the arm.
''Minetta-dear Minetta," he said,
smiling like a devil; Il saw what hap
pened five minutes ago. Kneel down,
Minetta, and pray"
Minetta kneeled down and prayed,
because she was docile and it seemed
the only thing that she could do.
BIancO stepped toward Nero and
cut him savagely across the lOins.
The cat leaped from his pedestal and
crouched, snarling, in a corner. BIancO
stepped back toward the half-Open
door. He took his eyes from Nero.
He knew that he could reach the
door and close it on his wife before
Nero could spring.
He leaped for the door, tripped, and
stumbled He had fallen upon Minet-
ta's whip, which she had cast aside
He strOve wildly to rise. He saw a
great shape darken the daylight over
him.
It was Minetta's scream that called
Giuseppe from the collection box
When he arrived he saw her beating
with her little fists on Nero's face,
while the lion bIinked and snarIed
over the body of BIanco.
