Old Roman Ways.

A rich Roman who married was re-
garled as fool. Unmarried and
without heirs, he was courted by
crowds of sycophants and legacy hunt

lookout for gifts during his life or for
legacies at his death. He was an OBJ
ject of attention to and adulation from
all. Each Roman We'd with his neigh

lavishly used in order to show the

would only insert such clauses IN the

For m Younr Man With Money


If were young man with certain
amount Of capital and DESTROYS to in
crease it at the expense of fools,
should become dealer in pictures and
in works of art The prices paid at
auctions for such articles by few
dealers bidding against each other are
abused, although a vast number Of
very wealthy fools who purchase them
from dealers are ready to pay still
higher. The mere fact that some
article has been sold in an auction
room at high price attracts them,
and they buy it from the dealer ut
higher one IN order to be able to point
to 1t In their houses and to tell their
friends how much 1t cost them. The
dealer consequently makes much
money by acting as middleman.
Whether there Is any arrangement to
run up the price among dealers l do
not know, but l have always Won
dered whether this is the case and
whether the original owner always
gets the selling price at the auction

1.-THE tombs of Benz Hussam," said
an antiquary Of Chicago, ARE interest
ing on account of their realistic paint
lngs In these tombs, which are 5000
years old, there are many pictures Of
drunkardS. Drunken men, waving wine
cups in both hands, are being carried
home by sncering slaves. Drunken
women lurch through the streets, fol-
lowed by little mocking children. All
this, mind you, 5000 years ago.
Alexander the Great used to hold
drinking contests. He who could drink
and carry off the most wine won.
Promachus, the skilled Promachus,
Won Il gold cup from Alexander by
drinking fourteen quarts Of wine.
Fourteen quarts!
The Romans used to serve at their
banQuets wines eighty and hundred
years old. They would mix with these
wines turpentine, resin and sea water.
Thus, they thought, a fine flavor was
got.
II once tasted wine 200 years old.
1t was so thick we had to dig 1t out
with a spoon. Its flavor was so hor-
rible that turpentine, resin and sea wa
ter would no doubt have improved it."

The legal formality of addressing a
court sticks to many a lawyer of con-
gressional preferment. 1t is nothing I'M
usual to hear an impassloned orator In
the house, pausing In his argument or
breaking in upon the argument of an
other, exclaim, Now, If your honor
pleasem OF course the house always
marks the slip with burst Of loud
laughter In the senate, where there
are also many lawyers, it IS rarer to
hear the familiar words because de-
bate there is more sedute.

noon when his superintendent came
in and reported that Cassidy, the en-

caught in the machinery.
Irwin, always thoughtful of his men,

how the injured man was getting

with her.
