THE men who are raising the loudest
yell in favor OF an alien land law of the
Gossett kind are the men who could
not borrow money OF mortgage COM
pantes, because they have no more land
than is protected by the homestead
law from mortgage. This Gossett law
is the most selfish and most cruel law
ever enacted in any state. 1t is a law
to prevent people from getting money
to save themselves from bankruptcy
and to depreciate the vaiue of real es-
tate in Texas from p to % per cent.
II not amended, it is law that will go
home TO roost on the fences Of those
who uphold it. No considerable body
of people in state can be bankrupted
without hurt to all the people OF that

The Last Gladiatorial Combat.

Gladiatorial games were prohibited
BY an edict Of the Emperor Constantine
in A. d. 325. but from some cause,
probably the loudly expressed disap-
probation Of the people, the edict was
allowed TO fall into disuse, and its pen
alties were never visited on it, viOlators
During the reign Of Honorius the defeat
of the Goths in Italy was celebrated by
games. but in the midst of the fights in
the amphitheater Of Vespasian "a monk
named Telemachus found his way into
the arena and parted the combatants
with "a large professional cross.
The populace swarmed over the bar
ricades and tore the monk 70 pieces,
but the moral effect Of the heroic act
was permanent, and in A ID. 404 an
imperial edict abolished ~gladiatorial
sports in the Coliseum, and shortly
after throughout the Roman empire.
The fight stopped by Telemachus wal
the last in the Coliseum, and that struct
ure is now c~Onsecrated TO the honor O
