Sure to Return

a NEW ENGLANDER tells of q mer-
chant in Vermont town whose goods
did not very strongly substantiate his ad-
vertising claims. So he put out new sign.
He was pleased to observe that a great many
persons stopped to read it. But soon he was
puzzled and angered to notice that they all
went on, laughing. There was nothing hu-
morous about the sign. for it merely read
II you Buy Here Once
You Will Come Again
The merchant went out in q casual sort
of way and glanced at his sign to see what
was the matter. Some one, no doubt q for
mer customer, had added another line, and
it now read:
If You Buy Here Once
You VIII Come Again
To Bring 1t Back.

1t was half an hour later when he came back
that way, aud he was chagrined to find the
whole community fighting, while from dis :
tance were blowing many police whistles.
Officers were rushing to the spot from all
quarters.

A MERICA'S manhood today Is preparing
n to attack the world in athletics. AL
most every nation in the world Is keyed
up to perspiring pitch in advance Of the
coming Olympic games to be he'd this year
ut Antwerp.
These contests Of speed, strength, skill
and honor, in which our country has thus
far done itself proud, are a modern revival
Of perhaps the oldest and most earnestly
worshiped athletic festivals recorded in the
great works of the world. For the series
which opened on the little plain Of Olympia,
in Ellis, 776 years before the Star of Betble-
hem ushered in a new era, was a revival OF
athletic rites previously revived by Iphitus,
king of Ellis, in SS4 B. c.. and then said to
have been practiced time out of mind.
Therefore the date of the first OF these
festivals may be lost in the dawn of history.
Far different from the present purpose
was that of the first Olympic games. They
were religious rites, performed for the graft
fcation of the Greek god ZeIs, and they
were surrounded by all the pomp and cere-
mony Of that ancient system of belief which
nourished civilization.
Throughout the 1174 years of their un-
broken history they formed an expression
of Hellenic religious piety and Hellenic
pride of race-those two pillars upon which
rested the power and progress of Greece.
Once every four years during these CEN
turies, the foweI of Grecian youth came
together in the small state of Ellis, on the
western coast of the Peloponnesus, and there,
on the sacred plain. dedicated its manhood
to the Hellenic piety and bore witness to
the strefgth of the blood that united
Athens and Sparta with the distant dwellers
in the Greek settlements along the coast Of
the Black Sea or the Gulf of Lyons.
The midsummer moon of each succeeding
quadrennium beamed on this pilgrimage, and
long before its f. was full, heralds went
forth throughout Greece to proclaim truce,
during which peace was obligatory between
city and city and state and state-for
these were a covetous folk and they quarreled
much among themselves.
In order that the contestants in the games
might proceed to Olympia without moesta-
ton or attack, however, a month of peace
preceded each celebration. And during this
month there journeyed to Ellis the noblest

Difficulties of Arbitration

specimens Of Greek manhood, such nawless
types as issnired the chisels of Phidias and
Praxiteles.
The plain Of Olympia, as described in the
pages of the National Review, of Los-
don, was hallowed ground, dedicated to
Zeus.
On its northern side was the Alti, or
sanctum. In it were the temples Of zeus
and Of Hera and affairs to Demeter and
Aphrodite, and It was adorned, to say the
least, as time went on with the most exquis-

women were allowed to enter their horses
for the chariot races and were often trium-
phant, the first woman so distinguished
being Cynisca, the sister of Agesilaus.
The winners had their rewards from the
citizens of their own state or country, which
frequently took the form of a triumphaI
progress. The reward of the Olympia itself
was purely one Of honor. The garland Of
wild olive was the winners sole prize, but
his statue was erected in the Altis, and his
name given to the Olympiad in which he
prevailed, a period of four years, by which
the Hellenic historians came to measure
their chronology; thus the first Olympiad
was known as that of Corebus, the winner in
776 b. c., and from that year onward until
217 B. c. the winner of each of the Contests
every fourth year is recorded.
NOR the more modern revival of the Olym-
y pic games the world may be grateful to
Baron Pierre de Coubertin, an eminent
French sportsman. 1t was his idea Of the
possibility of applying to modern conditions
and international sports the ideas and ira
ditions Of the ancient festivals, and he was
the leading character in the formation of
the Olympics Of which we are 90 much
concerned today.
As q result Of the interest and en-
thusiasm thus created, the first Olympic
games of modern times was held in Athens
in midsummer Of 1896. There in the very
city which once exemplifed the glory Of
Greece, after lapse of 1902 years, the
Olympiads were resdmed and four years later
