Some Western sightseers visited the Goreoran Art Gallery in Washington. I hey stood for a time before Jean Leon Gerome’s huge painting depicting the death of Julius Caesar. Caesar lies stricken at the foot of Pompey's statue. “What’s the matter with that fellow?” said one of them. ‘'Why don’t you read history?” was the retort. “That man is Julius Caesar; he has just been shot by Mare Antony.”
