A TRAGEDY OF A
Iijr K . I. .
At that time the four greatest cities
In the Human empire were Antloch,
Rome. Alexandria, and Treves on tho
Mom He. Treves, which was the cen
tre whence were governed llritain,
(Inul. Hp.i.u, the Alpine districts, and
tho Rhine frontier, wns tho residence
of the 1 "refect of the Rhino prov
inces. i:. wrs a very exalted per-Hiiiiii'-e
..ml commanded the army
whit :i wes forever repelling; the at
temps ot me (icrmnnlc tribes to
cross the Rhine. At Treves bIho was
the nilnilnst ration of these legions cen
tred. Tlier.-; was not a month of sum
mer or of winter when they bnd not
some fighting to do, much of which
was fierce and some desperate.
For ten years the Rhine legionaries
had won nil their buttles under ths
same prefect, and never had any mili
tary order of his miscarried. In bat
tle and in cleg". In attack and In de
fence, the ciiliflilencn of Ills men 111
him was almolute. Yet thero was not
In all the empire a more unpopular
man than his Excellency the Prefect
of the Rhine .Marches. He more than
counteracted the effect of his military
prestige by an unsympathetic, unin
spiring, and chilly demeanor. His sue
corhcs roused no enthusiasm for him
self. In camp he was a relentless
martinet. Outside the army. In the
municipal administration of Treves, in
the government of tho province, and
In all things small and great, through
out even Britain and tipain, his unt-on-clllatory
manner and his stubborn for
mality won him tear and hatred.
It was a hot nnd dusty summer, with
had crops. The parade ground of
Treves wns, If possible, hotter and
dustier thnn the country about. It
was a white Door of dazzling. Impal
pable clay powder. On one side of It
ran one rampart of tho camp, over
which showed the roofs of the low,
dull-brown brick barracks. The other
three sides were lined with crazy huts
or shanties, dens of tho camp follow
ers and housi s of the sutlers. About
half nil hour nfter sunrise tho two le
gions then quartered at Treves were
under review. Roman garrison review
began at the first glow of dnwn. The
inspection of the formation was over.
The Prefect, with his staff, was at one
end of tho ground, tho Fourteenth Le
gion on his left, and the Thirty-third
on his right.
The qunester read out the guard as
signments, the watchword, and finally
that a centurion of tho Fourteenth Le
gion was to be deprived of his rank,
and forwarded to the capital to an
swer the chargo of conspiracy. He
was summoned to step out and place
himself In the hands of his guards.
The accused was by far tho most pop
ular man In the legion, and ranked
third among Its sixty centurions. The
prefect had long disliked him, and
would have preferred even more sum
mary measures.
'Almost before tho order had been
read the Fourteenth changed from a
serried machine to a seething swarm
of human flgnreB, weltering In the
dense envelopo of dust which rose
from under them. The centurions
whom tho rank and file distrusted
were pinioned, every sword was out,
and with weapons and shields aloft
the men yelled themselves hoarse.
The Prefect ordered tho first mani
ple of the Thirty-third to arrest the
ringleaders. The Thirty-third stood
liwe images, peering as well as they
could against the sunlight In their
eyes towards tho mob across tho
parade-ground. The orderly did not
take the trouble to ride back to report
how tne command was received.
The Prefect called out:
"Is there no man hero who respects
his oath? As well salute your centu
rion Emperor! "
The clamor was so loud that tho
staff could hardly hear each other.
The centurion who was the cause of
the outbreak Bcemed to be trying to
quiet his fellows.
The Prefect raged mutely. Even his
staff were against htm and longed to
see him humiliated.
When comparative alienee was re
stored, not losing an Instant, he chose
me most dangerous and most promis
ing course possible. For he was really a
great commander and a bold one. He
rode three horse-lengths, alone, to
wards the mutineers, and asked them
if they rcblled against the Emperor,
against himself, or against that par
ticular order alone.
Diverse shoutings answered. A
young centurion, who had taken no
part In fomenting or auletlng the tu
mult, stepped out. Tne men held
their peace, and he said, very slowly
and conciltatingly, that they did not
rebel agalnBt the Emperor, that they
did not mutiny against their command
er, but that they did ask him to recon
sider an order which had not yet re
ceived his official approval. Groans
and cheers greeted all three state
ments. His Excellency was reassured. Tbe
men had no fixed plans, they were
divided, and they bad no determined
leaders. The mutiny was very real
and terribly near a revolt that would
ruin him utterly. But, while tbe in
fringement ot discipline was Irrepara
ble, and bis bold on the men and his
officers appallingly weakened, yet
there was a chance of regaining the
reality of subordination and power by
holding to the somblance of both. Mu
tinies, revolts and revolutions were
none so rare in those days, and whllo
the smallest beginning might lead to
U world's end, on the other band tbe

frequency of Insubordination made re
accepted obedience less a. mockery
and more a vohmble possession thnn
It could be under other clrciinistsnces.
Tbe effort nf tne speaker to save bis
oTIelnl dignity be saw, and while he
perceived tlmt It gave hlin the very
opportunity be wanted, ho none the
less hated the speaker for the conde
scension of It.
Torn by pride nn.l anger, but In his
calmest voice, he ordered the legion to
reform. They obeyed. Tnlilng his
pb.ee at the head of the staff, he spoke
a few ringing words to the men, re
minding them of their oath and duty
of titter obedience, niul conciliating
them with a formal disclaimer of any
possible Inlustlce to tho defenders of
the empire.
Then he spoke Inauillbly to the
quaester, and that official rode for
ward and proclaimed that the afore
said centurions of tbe Fourteenth were
to suffer a fine, and thnt the leaders
of the disorder during tho review were
to be punished with rations of barley
Instead of wheat for a month. There
was no further breaking of ranks, for
tho legion knew that their favorite
was as wholly In their power to de
fend and protect while under arrest
among them as when free.
The Prof "et, fuming and vindictive,
reached his palace to don his toga of
state. In his anteroom he found an un
washed, grensy fellow, with a fashion
of fingering his battered felt hut 'n
the presence of great folks. In our
days such a mm would be known ns
a private detective. Romans called
such professional spies.
j ho Prelect had many grievances
ngninht the world. Rut chief among
these was one which be felt as a
household shame and reproach. Ills
elder son wns a sickly, dissipated, In
competent dandy. To compenpatT
him for this, be bad a younger boy
who wns a fine a specimen of mental
and physicul manhood as the empire
could show throughout Its length and
lirendth. Rut this youth, who should
have been, ho lelt, his pride and ally,
bnd rebelled aRnlnst his authority. Ha
had even openly quarrelled with him.
and, worst of nil, be bad left hlR father's
bouse, which was an utilif nnl of act
for a noble Roninn. The lad bad dis
appeared utterly and could not bo
found. He was supposed to have gone
into the East, where bis mother hnd
kinsmen In high commnnd.ngalnHt the
Parthlnns, ami to be serving the state
there under a false name.
All this hnd angered his father quite
enough. His rage and chagrin redou
bled when tho spy asserted that he
had positive Information that tho boy
was In Treves, and that ho would i e
able to find him In a day or two with
a little extra money to spend on the
search. The Prefect gave the money
with a bitter heart. This news, !f
true, boded disgrace as well as scandal
to his name, ihe world looked even
more hateful to him. Ills hound
fawned on him as he left his dressing
room, and he hit the beast a blow with
his truncheon, which sent It yelling
across tho pavement. .
He mounted his litter at tho door,
and again hoots and gibes sounded
from the aleysways till the Jecrers
fled bclore the rods of his Nubians.
The solemn lletors formed before me
litter. But before the obsht Bithy
nlans had set their necks under the
Utter-poles, a foaming courier handed
him dispatches from the war-office.
He opened them as the litter was
borne onward, and the first that he
read was a curt reprimand on his
trans-Rhenal policy, and a brutally
commanding hint that ho must cease
favoring the German chieftain whoso
Interests he had been furthering and
romehow transfer his influence to the
other side, as his favorite was an
enemy oi valuable and uncertain al
lies of Rome who dwelt across the
bead-waters of the Danube.
This accumulation of checks, re
buffs, and Insults put his Excellency
into a humor which was more than
spiteful and vindictive. He was ready
to wreak his wrath on anything. He
would have enjoyed treating the Em
peror as he had treated his' hound,
and most of all did l.e hate thU popu
lace and soldiery which Jeered at him
openly, and which was rejoicing at
having thwarted him. They had made
him do as they pleased In a matter
where he felt he had a right to do nis
will, and he longed for an opportunity
ot compelling them to do their best.
He reached tho circus In a fine mood
for asserting his authority doggedly at
every opportunity.
Treves, the fourth city of the em
pire, possessed a circus which was
outranked in size and cpiendor by
those of a good score. The climate,
soil, and the political conditions gave
the people much work and compara
tively little time or money for amuse
ment. Yet the amphitheatre held six
ty thousand persons. The games were
to be magnificent that day. Tbe Pre
fect was giving them out ot his private
Income and he himself was to be
editor.
Conspicuous among the ladies In
their seats at tbe Prefect's left was his
wife. Some years before she bad been
with ber husband In a small garrison
town on tbe Rhine when he was sur
prised and surrounded by a vast horde
of Germans. Throughout the solge that
followed she bad shown such skill and
courage in aiding tbe wounded, In
directing relief sallies at critical mo
ments, and even In exhorting tbe men
on the walls that the Emperor bad
conferred on her the right to wear the
purple cloak of a cavalry officer. Con
sequently, she shone among the
women, for light pale hues were that
year the fashion In feminine dress.
The procession of all the partici
pants commenced. A British and a
Scythian chariot, which were to ra-!e
against each other without more com
petitors, attracted much attention,
with their contrasted teams and driv
ers from the utmost West and East.
None of those entered for any other
event excited so much Interest as did
the 32 gladiators whoso combat
was to close the day's show. They
were to fight In pairs, sixteen on each
side of the arena, and the victor of
each pair was to face the victor
nearest liliu, and the victors were thus
to pair off nnd fight again till only
one renin Ined. All were armed and bel
meted with hidden faces. Tbe favor
ite In tbe betting was a professional
from Rome, a Roman by race, and .1
lighter Whose fnme had spread through
the empire. He now appeared i.t
Treves for the first time. The only
mnn seriously bncked to win against
lil in wns a big (Inul, also well known,
and one who hnd beaten ninny an ad
versary. At. the very first.slght of the
32, these favorites were well liked,
but most of all was Interest centered
In a graceful, well-knit youngster, one
of the Inst pair, as they marched along
in the procession. It was whispered
that he was a Greek. Greek gladiat
ors were rare In any part of the em
pire, and It was years since one hnd
fought at Treves. This mnn hnd thnt
hearing which wins sympathy, and In
a few moments half the men and all
the women were talking of him
and wishing him good luck. Not much
licit ln was done In bis favor, but
even the backers of other contestants
Inwardly Imped or openly wished that
he miKlit get off easily if defeated.
The show passed off much like other
rliowa. One animal flglit which wns
wholly novel at Treves was thnt of a
herd of some fifty dog-faced baboons
against successive single largo beasts,
of which they disposed with surpris
ing celerity. A beautiful leopard, chi
vied all about the sand by these grin
ning ma n I i lie devils, made desperate
clfuits to escape. She essayed a pro
digious leap out of tho arena and
clutched the parapet from which she
sprnng Into tho scnls of tho German
chieftains. This created some excite
ment, and a hurricane of cheers when
one blonde, plnk-sklnned young giant
of them, bis lilimd spattering his fel
lows, deliberately Htrnngleil her to
death In spite of her clnwings and
burled the carcass back Into the en
closure. At Inst came the thirty-two of whom
thirty-one might die. The Roman was
among the sixteen on tho side bneah
the Indies' benches. The young Greek
nnd the Gaul were on the other side,
oelow tho seals of tho Oermans. In
me first round tho Gaul was over-confident,
and suffered a flesh-wound In
the knee. He won his bout, and no
did tho Greek nnd the Roman. It be
fell so thnt for tho last round save one
the Roman survived, cool and un
woun.led, and the young Greek faced
the Gaul. Of the defeated men who
were merely wounded, some had been
spared, and some dispatched, accord
ing to the favor or disfavor of the
spectators nearest them.,
Tho Roman's adversary grappled
him, and was hacked 10 pieces at half
arm's length after a long fight. The
?anl had fallen to a third wound al
most before the Roman had shortened
his sword grip to begin dealing with
his man. Each Bet of victors had
had a nricf breathing-time, helmets on.
Tho audience rustled and buzzed
while the Roman got bis breath. It.
was hot and dusty mid-afternoon, but
no one left. Even the gaudily painted
awning-poles afar and aloft were hi I
by .agile enthusiasts of the mob, who
had swarmed up them and were hold
ing on with legs and arms. v
Tho Roman being less fresh of tho
two, the other crossed tne arena, pass
ing through a wicket in the wall divid
ing tho space, and faced his adversary
below the ladles' seats. The rustling
ceased. Tho clash of sword and shield
In every parry could be heard by the
farm-laborers at the north end of the
circus. The women especially, hum
ble, and great, were wrought up with
Interest for tho younger man.
The fight was not long. His second
wound brought the lad to the ground.
The Roman set his foot on the fallen
chest, raised his sword and shield over
his head and saluted the editor and
the spectators. Then, blinded by
sweat, be pitched oft bis big helmet,
snllted his grip of his sword, and "began
to roll his eyes along tbe benches to
cce what he must'do with his fallen
foe. Every woman, child, and man
was standing, every thumb pointed
down. The fainting boy might have
heard the cries of the friendly folk.
The gladiator looked first towards tho
north. Before he turned towards the
editor's stand half the theatre saw his
Excellency, his face perfectly expres
sionless, bis hand resting on the velvet-covered
rail before blm, the thumb
stolidly pointing up. Tne gladiator
was a slave, hired by him under an
oath and penalties of fire and Bteel.
Waves of Inarticulate remonstrance
ran from tier to tier. Some half
drunken men of the Fourteenth, loung
ing In the doorway where the dead
bodies had been dragged out, saw the
thumb also. Full of tbelr success of
the morning, they thought It would be
a fine thing to rescue tbe young fel
low, and started at a tipsy double
quick across the sand. Tne Roman
saw them, looked round, and saw tbe
editor. He dared not hesitate. His
life was at stake. He gave tbe pros
trate lad a kick, and the boy. tried to
loosen tbe helmet. His bands fell
I rem weakness. The Roman cut Ui
chin strap.
All this took place In six breaths.
The audience, with an electric mutual
understanding, sat down, every rlpnt
thumb outstretched enrthwant. Not
a soul made any noise, not even to
cheer the half-dozen running drunk
ards. The Roman kicked off tho helmet,
raised his blade for the flnl shldngflfln
and rnlsed his blade for the finishing
stroke, As It fell against, the back
ground of hushed and seated gazers a
purple-clad figure arose from among
the ladies and another from the Pre
fect's ivory throne, and a man's and
woman's voice screamed:
"My son!"
The next moment the Prefect's wife
bsd fainted; the Roman, Ms shield
csst away, was kneeling Ireslilc the dy
ing lad, trying In vain to cheek the
blood with his nnked left hand; the
whole audience, women and men alike,
wcie cm their feet; and tho Prefect
sank In his chair, dazed nnd tremb
ling, nnd to his cars the universe
seerii"d filled with the Incisive howl
of rebuke and derision which arose

Snuff Takers.
The 18th cenutry was the ago of
snuff taking par excellence. The cus
tom was general and among all
classes of people. It was an act of
politeness for well-bred men to offer
their snuff boxes to well-bred wom?n.
Women themselves carried their own
boxes and Interchanged pinches with
the gentlemen. At fashionable dinner
rartles after tho cloth was removed
snuff boxes were passed around. Popn
and Bllingbroke, Swift and Congreve,
Addison and Steele, all iMliilg-'d in the
pleasures of 'snuff. Dr. Johnson car
ried his snuff In the capacious pock-ts
of his waistcoat and would convey It
to his nose without stint. He could
not abide the narrow confines of a
box. Frederick the Great resembled
him In this respect. Both Napoleon
and Wellington were prodigious snuff
takers, but Washington indulged only
moderately. Jefferson was fond of
snuff, as bis waistcoat and shirt bosom
often showed. Hamilton and Burr both
"muffed." and were extremely grace
ful in giving and taking a pinch.
Henry Clay was another of our fa
mous snuff takers, and often needed
the stimulus of a pinch when making
a speech, Senator Thurroan was per

users of what was once called "the

Dairymen's Association are disturbed
over an amendment to the oleomar
garine hill, suggested by Senator For
akcr, which they say will make tho
proposed law npply only to oleo which
has been colored by artificial means,
but will not prevent the sale of that
article nor bring about the ruin of the
oleo business, as was hoped by the
farmers. Mr. Knight of the National
Dairymen's Association, charges that
the manufacturers of oleomargarine
have discovered a process of feeding
cows by which will be produced milk
highly colored wlvjch can be used In
coloring oleo. The milk produced In
this manner would not. It Is asserted
by the dairymen, give an 'artificial"
coloring to the oleo, as only "natural"
means would be used. There Is no
evidence presented here that the
process can be utilized for the pur
pose claimed except the unsupported
claim of the representatives of the
Dairymen's Association.
Salt Lake City is about to lose one
of its landmarks. The old school
house where tbe children of Brigham
Young were educated is to be torn
down to make room for some modern
structures.
