probably the loudly expressed dsap-

The popUlace swarmed over the bar

but the moral effect of the heroic act
was permanent and in A. ID. 404 an
imperial cdict abolished gladatorial
sports in the Coliseum and shortly aft
or throughout the Roman empire. The
fight stopped by Telemachus was the

CHRISTMAS IN THE SOUTH,
How the Day WAS Celebrated In
O1den Times

Sixty years ago skyrockets, Roman can
dies and Chinese iirecrackers were un-
known in the south. The same may be
said Of the Christmas tree outside of the
old Episcopal parishes. And still the
boys Of those carly days made deal OF
pother 10y the bursting Of hogs badders
and the firing Of shotguns at the break Of
day. The morning eggnog was seldom
omitted in their matutinal festivities.
The old time negroes, the happiest yeo-
many Of the world. were never refused
their traditional Christmas dram. There
were then no poorhOuses, no charity hos
pitfalls, and the benevolent machinery Of
these degenerate days was unknown be-
cause not needed.
Country cuttings We're all the rage in
the rural districts, and when work was
finished the neghboring fiddler was
summoned. After no little turning and
scraping the SWANS and their sweethearts
stood up vis-a-yis in two lines. At the
words ''Set 10 your partners" they footed
il quite nmbly through the mazes of the
Virginia reel-no stately minuet no high
fautin german, but IA rollicking move
ment that shook the floor until, rs Burns
puts it,
The root and raiters a did dirl.
Those were halcyon days the like of
which is not seen nowadays.

VIII Not Go to Mexico.

"Standing yellow. n war chief Of the
Cheyenne Indians. has recently return
ed from n trip TO old Mexico" says the
Los Angeles Times, where he was
tribes in oklahoma. aggregating about
10000 Indians. The purpose of the old
chiefs trip was to select n new home
for the reservation Indians, who had
always considered Mexico nothing
short of another happy hunting ground,
where they could all live a life of pros
perity and ease, but the report of the
old chief has upset the fancy notion
these Indians held about Mexico and
will be the means Of retaining the TO-
600 redskins in this country until they
die"
