where there was a move to take the ia
theirs $1,000.
Then he spoke. no, gentlemen" he
said. 1--WE will not take this mans
money. He owes Us nothing, He has not
wronged us; we have grossly wronged
him. We have made a thief and fugi-
tive out of his son. 1t was our business
to see that the young man was protected
while in our employment. Instead of pro-
tecting, we laid snares for him. We had
no business to allow him the liberties he
enjoyed in handling funds intrusted to
our safe-keeping. We paved the way for
his fall: we have irretrievably injured
him. and now we talk of penalizing his
father, when, as matter of Justice, we
should be making him reparation. Let
us hand his money back to him That is
the least we can do, and then let us go
down into our own pockets, personally
make the loss good, and set TO work to
reform our methods so that we may in
jure no more sons and fathers

PRETTY MlDDLE-AGE LEGEND
City of Rouen for Centuries Had Story
of Its Own Concerning Mythical
Dragon

st. George is always pictured in the
ACT OF driving a spear through the
mythical dragon. Among many leg
ends is that of ST. Romanus. i'm the sew
enth century, who is said to have de-
livered the city of Rouen from one of
these monsters. The feat was accom-
pushed In n very simple manner. On
Ascension day, Romanus, the city of
Rouen being threatened by an inunda-
ton, took condemned criminal ont
of prison. and ordered him to, 60 and
fetch the dragon that was disturbing
the waters. The criminal obeyed. The
dragon. following him into the city.
walked into blazing fire prepared for
1t and was burned to death.
TO commemorate this event, Dago-
bert, the French king, gave the clergy
OF Rouen the annual privilege of par
doning condemned criminal on Assem-
sion day, right that was exercised
with many ceremonies until the time
OF the first French revolution. This
dragon. named Gargouille Ga water
spout, lived in the River Seine; and
as Romanus is said to have construct
ed embellishments TO defend Rouen from
the overlooking of that river. the
legend seems to explain itself. The
word "gargoyle' is used in architec-
ture, somewhat changed from its
French photography, as the name of a
projecting stone spout usually carved
with groteSque figure, to throw the
ROOF water clear of the walls. The
primary meaning of the word in
French is "throat" or "gullet."

on payment of $50" We shudder to

William Hohenzollern
May Be Extradited,
Says Paris Professor

Paris, Nov. 2S,-William Hohen-
zollern can be extricated, in the
opinion of Professor Barthelemy,
of the Paris law faculty. who ex-
plains that his guiding principle is
that when there is an apparent Con-
fict between law and common
sense the solution is always found
by following the latter.
The theory that political crime
is any crime inspired by purely
political motives, the professor de-
clares, has long been abandoned.
He notes that Belgium in 1856
classed regicides among common
law criminals. Crimes such as the
assassinations of President Carnot
of France and King Humbert of
Italy were inspired by political mo-
tives, he points out, and yet the
authors of them were executed.
The atrocities ordered by former
Emperor William, the professor
continues, are condemned even in
state of war by international law
and constitute common law crimes.
To maintain that they are not be-
cause the object for which they
were committed was political is,
he argues, an absurdity.
