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

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.’’—
