! View of Tre*w. IT is an odd coincidence that the most m<Kiefn occurrence in Prus sia—its occupation by American . , troop*—should begin with its old est city, observes a writer in the Kan sas City Times. Treves, or Trier, as the Germans call it. into which the Yank* marched recently, is older than history, which begins for it half a cen tury te-fore the birth of Christ. Then, as the capital of the Celtic Treviri, one of the most powerful Belgian tribes, it was captured by the Homans under Julius Caesar. It was made a Homan colony under the name of Au gusta Trevirorum and was strongly fortified. By 14 B. C. it had become the most important northern outpost of the Homan empire. It was an im perial residence early in the Christian era and the administrative center from which Gaul. Britain and Spain were ruled. The poet Ausonius described it as “Rome beyond the Alps.” Constan tine the Great lived there about twen ty-five years. He and his successors beautified it with public works and magnificent private villas dotted the + hillside all around. Some of the finest * Homan relics north of the Alps re main to this day in Treves. From the earliest times Treves, be cause of its strategic position and the rich country surrounding it. was an ibject of warfare. The Franks par ticularly desired it and they made many expeditions against it. They '•ontioued their attacks nfler the lto uian occupation. Three times they -aoked it and held it for short periods. About the middle of the fifth century they gained permanent jiossession and uade it their capital. The Frankish sings gradually transferred their pow American Troops in Treves. •r to Metz, however, and Treves b** •ame tbe seat of a powerful religious ■in [lire. Treves had a bishop at a very early • late. Tour great suints of the fourth •etitury are connected with the city. - . l[ was the scene of tbe first banish ment of St. Athanasius; St. Ambrose was born there; St. Jerome first b« •anie seriously Interested in religion while studying there, and St. Martin of fours went there ia 385 to plead with tig tyrant Maximus for the lives of the leretic ITIscllllun and Ids followers, flu* great bishop, St. Xlcetlus, built a splendid castle for himself at Treves in the sixlh century. The see became in urchblslioa * v1 after tlie begin nlng of tbe ninth century and its tem poral power was foundetl in 898, when Itsdhod acquired the rights of the counts of Treves. Throughout the middle ages the elty abounded in re ligious foundation^ and was a greut seat of monastic learning. Changed Hands Many Times. With the transfer of the Frankish capital to Metz began a long era of changes for Treves. The city passed to Lorraine In 843 and to the east Frankish kingdom in 870. It was suck ed by the Northmen in 881 after It hud become a permanent part of what is now prussiu. It became a free city toward the close of the sixteenth cen "irr. Tlie French held II briefly three "dines in the seventeenth century and of thg tenth century, and the Faust and Gutenberg Bible of 1450. The manufacturing Interests of the city Include tanneries. Iron foundries, dye works, furniture and piano fac tories and glass painting works. An extensive trade In wine, fruit nud wood was carried on before the war. There are piany lead, copper and tin mines In the vlalnity. The population before 1P14 was abhut 05,090. Got the ^rong Leg. This little story without a claimant has come up from Florida: An elderly Hoosier who has been ' spending some time in Florida has ' been giving ills leisure to fishing. There is a fine lake near where he has been ( sojourning, and every day he was seen • in silent meditation, for he is a think- j or, casting his line Into the clear wa- i ter, apparently with success. This Hoosier is known for his kindness and consideration of the feelings of others. One day while absorbed in his fish ing an alligator slipped up to him, j snapped off one of his legs, and was making off with it. “Here!" cried the fisherman, “come back. You've made a mistake. You've tuken the wropg leg!” And so he hud. The fisherman wore an artificial leg. and this (t was that the ulllgutor hud taken.—Indianapolis News. I in 17144 captured It again and abolished the archbishopric. The congress of Vienna in 1814-1815 gave it back to Prussia. It figured several times in the war just closed, being bombarded by allied aerial forces. The modern city of Treves occupies almost the exact site of the ancient town. It nestles picturesquely in the valley of the Moselle river and is sur rounded by hills covered with the vine yards from which comes the famous Moselle wine. The newer section con- j tains broad streets and modern build ings. The streets in the old part are j narrow and crooked. Tiie Porta Nl- • gra, an enormous fortified gateway, j was built by the Romans. In the southeastern part of the city is the ( palace of the Roman kings, now a pic turesque mass of ruins. In the south western section are the Roman baths, a vast nnd Impressive ruin, and a short distance away Is n Roman amphithea ter built in Emperor Trajan's time. Famous Church and Relics. One of the most interesting buildings is the cathedral, one of the oldest churches in Europe. It stands on the site of a church used in the time of Constantine. It hears the marks of repeated restorations us the result of wars and the ravages of time. Among the holy relics it contains are an al leged noil from the cross and the fa mous seamless “Holy Coat," said to have been worn by the Savior. Both are held in great veneration nnd are declared to have figured in many mi raculous healings. A provincial tnu seum contains many antiquities and a number of rare hooks are in the mu nicipal library, including the illuminat ed Codex Egbert!, dating from the close HER ONE PRECIOUS MEMORY It Wai Not Dread of Influenza That Led Spinster to Dwell on Kissing Episode. The spinster waited two or three hours to be admitted to the presence of the man who visited their town once a month to retail good advice and his own proprietary medicine to the eome-ons. At last she was admitted. "Yes, yes,” said the brusque doctor. “I want to know if Influenza can be transmitted by kissing?” "Beyond a doubt, madam.” “Well, a man with a pronounced case of influenza kissed me.” “So! How long ago was this?” "Well—let’s see. I think it was about two months.” “Why, madam! No harm can come to you now from the exposure. It Is quite too late.” “I knew it,” she sighed, “but I Just love to talk about IL”—Philadelphia Ledger. Satisfied. The gray-haired stranger bent over the desk. “Are you the society editor?” he asked. "I am.” “Are you tiie person who wrote up the account of last night’s big recep tion ?” "Yes; anything wrong with It?” “That's what I want to find out. Look here; I notice in speaking of my daughter you use the sentence: ‘Site swept about the room with an inherited grace that arrested every one's attention.’ Now, what was your purpose in writing that?” “Why, it struck me.as a first-class opportunity for a neat compliment to her esteemed parents; that's all.” “You are sure that you didn’t mean to insinuate that her father laid the foundation of his fortune by selling brooms!” “Certainly not.” "Berry]se I did, you know.” “I didn't know it.” “Then that's all right. Good day.’’— Dallas News. Some Scholar. Smith—Did you ever go to school, Sam? Sam—Sure I was to the academy and dere 1 learned such school fellows as George Gravey. Smith—Nonsense. Sam; you are re ferring to the study of geography. Sam—Dere was Matthew Maftix. Smith—You mear. mathematics. Sam—And I knew Jimmy Nasty tricks. Smith—You are referring to gym nastics, Sam. By the way, can you spell? Sam-—Sure! 1 got as far as M-U-D. Smith—And that spells mud? Sam—I stuck dere.—Boy’s Life. WAYNE E. SAWTELL, Lawyer, Omaha National Bank Bldg.
