off the boards for over 1000 years,
that the eating of human prisoners by
wild beasts in the presence OF the
Roman populace was played out, and
that the Coliseum was a ruin and did not
exist as a place of amusement. He
thought everything that he had read
about the horrors of a Roman holiday
was running to-day, as a side show, and
he wanted to see it, and | had encouraged
him in his ideas, because he was nervous,
and didn't want to undeceive him.
He had come to Rome to see things he
couldn't find at home, and it was up TO
me to deliver the goods.
Gee. but it made me sweat, cause
knew if dad did not get a show for his
money, he would lay it up against me.
so | told him VIZ would 60 to tina
Coliseum that night and see the hungry
lions and tigers eat some of the leading
citizens, just as they did when Caesar
run the show. Then found an Ameri-
an from Chicago at the hotel, who
sells soap In Rome, and told him what
dad expected of me in the way of amuse-
ment. and he said the only way was to
take dad out to the Coliseum. and in
the dark roll a barrel of broken glass
down the tiers of seats and make him
believe there was an earthquake that
had destroyed the Coliseum, and that the
lions and tigers were all loose. looking
for people to eat, and scare dad and
make a run back totown.
Ididn't wantto play such a scandalous
trick on dad, but the Chicago man said
that was the only way out of 1t, and he
could get a barrel of broken glass for a
dollar. and hire four rufians that could
roar like lions for a few dollars. and it
would give dad good exercise, and may
be save him from a run of Roman fever,
cause there was nothing like a good
sweat to knock the fever out of a fell
| lows system. The thing struck me as
not only a good experience for dad, but
a life saver, SO Iwhacked up the money
and the Chicago soap man did the rest.
After dark we went out to the ruin Of
the Coliseum, where a great many tour
lists go to look at the ruins by moon
light, and dad was as anxious and blood
thirsty as a young surgeon cutting up his
first ''stiff." When we got to the, RICH
place. and 1 told dad VIZ were a littlt
early, because the nobility were not il
their seats, the villains began to roa,
three dollars worth, like hungry lions
and dad turned a little pale, and sait
that sounded like the real thing.
i told him we better not get too near
because we were not accustomed to see

opinion that Apprentices to the consular

to so? Now, | suppose, you do not speak

Victor Hugo said that THE nineteenth century was the woman
century" and it is probable that the rise of woman will date from the
done in that cycle, and the twentieth century will see the fruhion
of our hopes, the achievement of all that we have struggled for. The
women of the, present and of the coming generation, will reap the har-
vest,t the seeds of which were sown by the pioneers OF the latter hall OF
the nineteenth century.
Woman has been in the past and will always be in the future the
guardian OF the home, the conservator OF virtue, and her emancipation
will mark a bright era in the evolution of the world.
