Roman Baths.

Every Roman had the use of the
public baths on payment Of about half
farthing. These were not such struc-
lures as we call public baths. but superb
buildings lined with Egyptian granite
and Nublan marble. Warm water was
poured into the capacious basins
through wide mouths Of bright and
massive silver. The most magnificent
baths were those Of Caracalla. which
had seats of marble for more than
1900 people. and those of Diocletian,
which had seats for 5000 people.-Na-

SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil

Children take to it naturally

party from it's unwilling enemies
within, viz: Those who hesitate and
temporize and seek some conservative
plan of action, instead of going for
ward boldly, courageously and inde-
pendently.
The situation demands prompt, Wig
orous, courageous action. The re-
forms we advocate are vital to the
highest welfare of the nation. Put
into effect they will overturn many
existing monopolies of gigantic pro-
portions and dethrone plutocratic
rule in state and nation. No tempor-
izing, halfway methods will accom-
plish this. The enemies of the peO-
pie are strongly intrenched behind the
organized wealth of the country. They
will fight our reforms to the death.
Therefore, nothing less than heroic
courage that courage which in past
ages has inspired the martyrs; a wis
dom never excelled by the worlds
greatest statesmen; and an indepen-
dence- that will persistently refuse all
entangling alliances with conservative
political parties. will ever enable the
reformers to win in the struggle.
| sincerely hope that nothing less
than Independent action in The COM

ever afterwards, will be seriously con-
sidered at the st. Louis meeting. And
| believe that for this year, owing to
imperfect organization, it will be vir-
tually impossible to make nomina-
tions except in the old. way, through
conventions. Later, with perfect or
ganizations all along the line, the
new and better Cincinnati plan can
be put into operation.

The Outcast

She stood on the edge Of a sea- washed
ledge
Gazed down on the breakers foam;
And her thoughts were wild, like a
wayward child
Poor girl, without hope, or home!
Yes, the girl was fair-croWned with
golden hair,
Ard her eyes, divinely blue.
Yet the blight of shame and brand
ed name,
Gave beauty CHASTITY hue!
All, she knew enough, of life that's
rough
Of evils that men conceal,
While, beautiful earth, with its sin
less mirth-
To her-an unbroken seal.
Yet, to be the slave, of wanton
knave
Was a doom, she knew too well.
AS the sun went down, she glared at
the town,
With hate. that none may tell.
She turned to the sea, that could her
free,
From the loathesome life she knew;
While the. spray dashed high, and it
seemed to cry,
That her hour was overdue.
Still, she stood in doubt, till the stars
came out,
And the city-lost TO sight.
Then she tried to pray-in a pagan
way,
For darker, blacker night.
She sank on stone, with chilling
moan,
For the night was wintry cold;
And her clothes were thin, as the veil
of sin.
That drapes with a mockiEg fold.
AS her blood grew Chill so her torpit
will
Recoiled from the plunging leap;
Nor did she arouse, from the lurins
| browse
Nor wake from the freezing sleep
Lo, they found her there, in the buz
yards care.
/ Dead, dead, for many day.
| Doctors said: THE heart, whicl
was true n part
| While the Social Sin seeks prey!
