CRACOW, Poland, September Cracow is to the memory of Tadeusz Kos zko what Mount Vernon is to the memory of George Washington One cannot walk far in this old ety of the Pulish kings without enthusiasm both in America and in Poland than that of any other Pole. Whether as colonel of the Artillery and personul adjutant to George Washington in the American War of Independence, or whether as leader of the Polish insurrection of 1794 against Russian oppression, he was one of the most picture e figures of his time. Partisans of Marshall Pllsudeki today refer to the virtual dictator of Poland as “the second Kosciuszko,” and the imaginations of Polish school children is fired by copi- ous references in the text books to the exploits of Tadeusz Kosciuszko. The mecca for the visitor to Cra- cow is the Wawel, a rocky hill on the left bank of the Vistula. It was the fortified seat of the Polish dukes and kings from the very dawn of the na- | tion’s history. It is thus. as it were, the emblem of the Polish nation. One of the proudest structures on coming upon some reminder of the great na- | tional hero whose name kindles more the Wawel is the cathedral. In its spacious ‘underground corridors there is the Crypt of St. Leonard, reserved for the coffins of the Polish kings and their families. The only non-royal national hero to be honored by a bur- | ful place alongside of the kings is Kosciuszko. Every visitor to the cathedral in spects the treasury in the vestry. As the priest in charge exhibits and e plains the priceless bejeweled challces, royal crowns, chasubles and reliquar fes, he pauses to point reverently to an old ragged, weather-beaten, faded, bullet-riddied flag and says, impres: sively: “This is the flag that Kosciuszko carried during the American Revolu- tionary War. America not only hon- ored our revered national hero during | his lifetime by extending to him the | privilege of American citizenship, by FP}t’llng a_considerabie annual pension | wit | the rank of brigadier general upon | him, but to this day his memory is | kept alive by Kosciuszko parks and | Kosciuszko, monuments in various cities of the Union.” In the National Museum one al | finds many objects of personal adorn- | ment und use worn or carried by Kos ! cluszko during his lifetime. Like Aunt, Like Nephew. From the Boston Herald. E. M. Statler, the noted hotel man, said at a dinner in New York: “This year is the centenary of Bril- lat-Savarin, the great epicure. Brillat- Savarin inherited his love of good food. An aunt of his died at the age of 99 as she was finishing a succulent five-course dinner in bed. ‘I feel that I'm going,’ said the old lady. ‘Quick! Bring my. dqgn,'." - Save Deer With Locked Horns. Charlés Hulstrom, deputy game warden in Summit County, Utah, re cently found two large black-talled deer " with horns locked in a death grip. They were weakened by extreme |exertion and practically starved to death. With the aid of two ranch hands, Mr. Halstrom disengaged the horns by hitching two saddle horses to the prongs. This was the first in- stance on record in that section where dear have been found alive with locked horns, landed estates and conferring | "0, CRTER £ A0 | lando, FREDERICKSBURG FAIR HAS BIGGER PROGRAM More Exhibits and Attractions This Year—Horse and Auto Races Are Features.
