present version has petted a full-groWn
lion and had his advances received with
much more cordiality than he could ex-
peet from most st. Bernard dogs. He
eonceives the lion os Androclus TO have
been Just such a fearless and amiable
creature. He eoneeives Androclus as
having that fellow feeling for animals
which It becomes the most highly evolved
OF animals TO have (man Is your real king
or beasts) and which enables some men
to handle bees without being stung and
snakes without being bitten. Given such
a pair, there Is nothing incredible in the
story except the theatrical coincidence Of
the meeting of the two in the arena. Such
condolences are privileged on the staes
and are the special delight of this partic-
ular author. And really when one con-
siders how many men met lions In the
arena from first to last, Il Is not too much

II the auhor is asked why he made
Androcles a Christian he can only ask
why not. st. Francis preached 10 the

Francis was a Christian. ST. Anthony
preached TO the fishes. who probably un-
derstood at least as much Of his sermon
as a modern fashionable CONGREGATION
would have done. and st. Anthony was

Rare Maeterlinck Coming

Philadelphia will have rare chance
Wednesday afternoon Of seeing Maeter-
linck's "Aglavaine and Selysette" upon
the stage. Arthur Row, student as well
as actor. who has given the play at al
most a score of universities and clubs, has
seized the fortunate coincidence OF the
vacancy of the Little Theatre and his
presence in the city with "Androcles" to
act Maeterlinck's play there on wednes-
day at 3.

captain as far as rank was concerned
was probably not much more of a patri-
clan. The patrician soldier was not a pro-
fessional soldier; he commanded armies
or adorned Senates or governed provinces
as part of the natural pursuits of a patri-
clan. But the relation Of patriclan officer
TO plebian routineer existed as II exists
today; and whether my captain should
nave been called something else, or my

me any more than the old controversy as
