N HCAUSE the drama Of history,

h9ke its heroes and villains. James
Buchanan has been painted all black
n the opening scene Of the Civil war,
loaded down with all the weaknesses
and sins Of his generation and BAN
ished forever Into the wilderness. Any
one can see now, with the aid Of hind
sight what Buchanan should have
done, but not what he could have done.
The North itself. In the bewildering
winter Of 1000-61 was far from
agreed that secession could or should
be stopped BY force. ''Let the Union
slide." the abolitionists said. "Let the
erring brethren Co." said Horace Gree
ley. "Wayward sisters, depart in
peace" General Scott would have said
to the seeding states.
In common with the politicians Of
his fast vanishing time Buchanan
chung to the idea that freedom rather
than slavery was to blame for all the
trouble. He had not gone with Doug
las and the northern wing Of the d.
vided Democrats In the campaign Of
1880. but had sided with the southern.
ers and voted for Breckinridge.

front Of him and behind him a country
% irresolute as himself. As he saw
the Union falling to pieces he hoped
On that It could be patched together
again by another old-fashioned com.
promise. All the while there were
southern members Of his cabinet who
were staying In Washington only to
ship federal war supplies south and
to aid In the preparations for destroy.
Ing the government.
Edwin N. Stanton Of Ohio. although
himself q Breckinridge Democrat,
bluntly warned Buchanan: "You are
sleeping on volcano. The ground Is
mined all around and under you and
ready to explode, and without prompt
and energetic action you will be the
last president Of the United States
"Mr. Stanton" pleaded the feeble
old man, "for Gods sake come In and
help me-"
The first day that Stanton took his
seat at Buchanan's cabinet table he
told the secretary Of war, Floyd Of
Virginia, that he fought to be hanged
on gallows higher than Haman's" for
having ordered Major Anderson, with.
out the knowledge Of the president
to stay In a defenseless old fort at
Charleston harbor instead Of trans.
ferr.ng himself to Fort Sumter, as the
major had done In defiance Of orders.
Before the middle Of January the
cabinet was reorganixed and Buchanan
was surrounded by stanch Union men,
Who swept him along at pace which
sometimes left him breathless. The
new secretary Of the treasury, John A.
DIX, quietly reported one day that he
had sent to New Orleans his now
famous message: IF any man at.
tempts to haul down the American
dag shoot him on the spot"

Had Buchanan been q man Of iron
instead sf putty, probably he could
have done no good In that chaotic
Interregnum between the election and
Inauguration Of his successor. II he
had taken any step which should have
hastened Virginia and Maryland into
revolt there would have been no ma
tional capital on March 4, 1851. The
retiring president would only have
made heavier, perhaps impossible, the
task which be wearily laid upon

presidency to Lincoln and sadly tot-

made immortal by the greatest religious
painters OF the world are really founded
on historical fact, then. 1t is declared, one
OF the tombs OF the Ethiopian kings which
the psychologists have begun to unearth
must be the tomb OF the third Wise Man.
That a line Of Ethiopian kings and
queens continued to rule through the time
or Christ and for at least several gencr-
ations afterward is proven by the Bible
itself, for in the eighth chapter OF the
Acts OF the Apostles, it is rccounted that
Philip, travelling in tho desert, met an
Ethiopian who was the treasurer of Queen
Candace.
The Bible says:
The Angel Of the Lord spake unto
Philip saying. Arise and go to GAIA, which
is desert.
and he arose and went: and, behold q
man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great all
thority under Candacc. queen OF the
Philippians, who had charge of all her
treasure. was sitting in his chariot read
ing Esaias, the prophet"
The full story of the discoveries by tho
Egyptian expedition headed by Professor
Reisncr, Of Harvard, brings to light the
story OF an entire lost civilization and
proves not only that kingdom OF Ethiopia
existed, but that, although it was cut off
from most Of the rest of the world, it was

Careful study of the objects and in

a full chronological list of the kings of
Ethiopia over a long period, though not
a complete one through the time of Christ,
and has given the world It's first real scicn-
tific knowledge of the condition and de-

J tural history has been the question
of what became of the Three Wise
Men who followed the star in the east and
brough, gifts to the Infant Jesus on the
first Christmas Eve, almost two thousand
years ago.
The Bible Is silent on their identity and
tells nothing Of them subsequent to their
visit except that they departed into their
own country" But other holy books and
sacred legends which were known TO the
early church and gained worldwide belief
in the Middle Ages identify the Three Wise
Men with three great kings, Gaspar. Mel.

Ethiopia and Hind" or India.
Recent researches among the manu-

and India were believed to be at Samar-
kand, o. Samarcand, rich city of Asia
on the caravan route from Palestine to
