Every reply is an answer, tho
every answer is not reply. An
answer is given to question;
reply is made to an accusation or
an objection. The former simply
informs, the latter confutes or dis
proves. When we seek to do
more than inform-to bring others
to the conviction that the opinions
they have expressed are mistaken
or unjust, we reply to their argu-
ment. Witnesses who are exam
ined on trial do not reply 10, but
answer the questions put to them
by the counsel because, in such
case, information alone is required.
The counsel for the defendant, in
a trial, does not answer, but replies
to the arguments used by the
other party, because he seeks to
prove that these arguments are
false, and do not criminate his
client.

be both an adjective and an

the epithet is frequently put after
the noun, as-Henry the fowler,
Charles the simple, etc. In the

"fowler" is. dramatically, a noun;
rhetorically, an epithet; in the
second, the word simple is both
an. adjective and an epithet. An
epithet qualities distinctively, an
adjective qualities generally.
Much of the merit of style depends
upon the choice of epithet.

Booty-Pney.

Booty and prey are both objects
of plumber: but there is this dis
tinction, that booty may be applied
to various purposes, while prey is
always for consumption. Soldiers
carry off their booty. Birds carry
off their prey. Avarice or covet-
business incites men to take booty.
A ravenous appetite urges animals
to search for prey. In second
ary sense, things are said to be
prey to whatever consumes them,
either. physically or morally.
Thus "a house falls a prey to
the devouring flames. The heart
is prey to melancholy. Misfor-
tunes prey on the mind.

Bruve,y is constitutional; courage

careless of danger; the courageous
man is aware Of danger and yet
faces it calmly. Bravery 'is apt to
degenerate into temerity. Cour-
age is always cool and collected.
It may be, perhaps, said with JUS

courageous people.

sitlon Of priesthood which he then
held, and the estate which he had
inherited from his father was con-
6scated. Caesar now fearing his
life would be taken, left Italy and
joined the army in Asia. Here he
did such good service for a few
years, that on his return to Rome
after the death of Sulla in C.,
he was elected military tribune,
and SO rapidly gained favor that
he was elected to the senate in SO
+ B. G.. It was the custom at that
time, on the death of eminent per-
sons, for a near relative to give an
Grafton at the funeral. Caesar
thus delivered his first grafton of
note at the funeral of his aunt
Julia, who was the wife of his
friend Marcus. His rise in power
and influence was rapid, and in "a
B. c., in the thirty-sixth year of
his life, he had reached the high
est step in the scale of promotion.
being chosen as Pr@tor for Rome,
the position corresponding to the
governorship of our state, together
with the Office of the supreme
Judge. This Office was held by
him for several years, and during
these years he found in one
Pompey his strongest supporter
and friend. At the age of forty
three Caesar retired from the Office
of Pr@tor and was succeeded by
Pompey. Caesar was now by the
consent of the senate made COVER
nor of those provinces beyond the
Alps, together with the territory
which is now known as France,
Switzerland and the provinces in
Germany along the Rhine.
His power soon became almost
unlimited. It would be impossi-
BILE to go into detail of any branch
Of Caesars work short of writing
almost volume. Suffice it to say
Caesar, as a general, was without a
peer in his time. His losses in
battle were insignificant, clearly
indicating his greatness as COM
mander. It is said no general was
ever so careful of his soldiers lives.
This must have been very signifi-
cant, for at this time of the world
history, the struggle of opposing
forces for supremacy was as COM
mon as the long continued peace
within our own land. Wherever
Caesar, with his armies, went to
conquest, he was successful.
After subduing the outlying
provinces of Rome, he waged wal
against Egypt, resulting in his
taking the. reigns of government
in his own hands; soon after, how.
ever, appointing those he wished
to rule while he returned to Rome
when~he was made chief Consu
for ten years and now practically
had the power of king. Unlike
the leaders of his day, Caesar die
not attempt to use his power fol
, personal ends, nor did he attemp
to elevate himself, but was rather
lost in his great and good work
In this he has been likened il
, Shakespeare.
i He now was given the power t.
nominate the persons whom thu
people were to choose for consul'
and pr@tors. In this it is said b
acted wisely and with the interest
of the people always at heart
of those of Rome who had re
belled, he killed no one, not ever
his enemies, nor did he deprive
any one of his property.

Caesar, his lifean work, would
not be 'uninteresting, altho it will
DE necessary to take my audience
back about two thousand years.
The habits, conditions, customs
and aspirations of the populace OF
that day, I believe, have not great
ay changed from those of the aver
age individual of today.
In the year 100 B. O., in the city
of Rome, Caius Julius Caesar was
born. His father had never held
any Office of note, nor was his pc.
litical influence greater than the
average good citizen of his time.
We find the success that young
Caesar attained later in life, was
due entirely to his own struggle
and perseverance.
Tho born to an ordinary social
position, his parents were well-to-
do financially, consequently afford
ing him an opportunity for
acquiring an education which he
received under the instruction of
a tutor Gan educated Gaul) from
northern Italy. From this youth
was to develop Rome's most elo-
tquent master of the art of using
words, and one who was to carry
that art as far and do with it as
much as any man who has ever
appeared in history.
Further of the young mans boy
hood days little is known. At the
time of Caesars birth, Rome (and
in fact the entire country was in
a state of severe corruption. Read
ing from our newspapers today
forcibly> reminds one of the his
tory of that country and it's decline
during the last century B. c..
The members of the senate and
men holding Office of Importance
were SO commonly accepting brides
and selling their influence in diff
ferent ways, that it caused one
-Jugurtha to remark, who at this
time claimed sovereignty to por-
alon of Africa, that the wicked city
of Rome would soon perish if she
could only find purchaser.
During Caesars early years, and
it might be said during his life,
Rome was neither a monarchy nor
a republic For time it was run
by the Roman senate, then by a
Roman mob, and yet again by a
single individual who appointed
himself as dictator. The men who
had been made consul most of the
time had little to say, but stood
aside and let the voices rage.
The most influential and power
full men just at the time when
Caesar was coming into manhood
were Marcus, Sulla and Cicero.
Their doings do not need to be
described more than is necessary
in this paper. The aristocracy, al
this time, who controlled a conspic'
nous part of the country, found ne
mercy, because they had shown nc
mercy. They had been guilty O
the most wicked cruelty that thu
Roman annals had yet recorded
They we're not defending theil
country against national danger
They were organized for the pur
pose of graft, plumber, and tn
pursuit of their own pleasures, a
the cost of the populace. Thel
followed massacre of the aristoc
,racy under Sulla, those escapin.
with their lives fleeing to Asia o
other remote points to escap
the peoples wrath. Then for
time Rome lived in peace AM
quiet. -

JULIUS CAESAR.


and drilled them to such degree
Of proficiency that they became,
it is said, trained soldiers in their
boyhood.
Caesar became an early friend to
the most influential party now
controlling the senate. He was
still in his seventeenth year when
he married the daughter of CHINA,
who was at the time consul OF the
Roman senate, under whose rule
Rome enjoyed period OF quiet
that was long remembered. This
was not, however, to continue.
The invincibie, Sulla had been
again exciting the populace to re-
volt with the cry as champion to
the working class, who were trying
to bring about that for which the
socialists of today are striving. It
seems, however, that their course
at that time was just. Patricians
and plebeians, aristocrats and dem
ocrats, have alike stained their
hands in blood in the working out
of the problem Of politics. The
aristocrats at least at this age
seemed to fight for wealth and
power. Wealth which they wasted
in luxury, and power which they
abused for their own interests.
% these Sulla waged bitter
warfare during which time it is
said more that five thousand per-
sons we're massacred, all men of
education and fortune. Among
those who met death at the hands
of Sulla was CHINA, the father-in-
law to Caesar and consul of Rome.
Among the others were many OF
Caesars personal friends. Thus
we see that Sulla had virtually
destroyed all opposition and be-
came practically the head of affairs.
He became all-powerful and re-
sporsible to no one. It is said that
his arrangements were ingenious,
and many Of them excellent, but
the narrower the body to whose
care a government is entrusted,
the more important becomes the
question of the composition Of
that body.
Pompey, prominent young
soldier at this time, was induced
by Sulla to join him. By SO doing
he was persuaded to divorce his
wife and marry the stepdaughte1

time escaped persecution, but the
. dictator had his eyes on him anc
saw something in the youth tina
t was remarkable and this, doubtless

and now he turned his attention
and energy to improving the con-
dition of the people, check the
luxury which was eating into the
Roman character, and make it a
better country for the common
people. He appointed commits
sions to investigate the political,
social, and domestic life with an
aim of improving conditions where
possible. For the beneficial re-
forms he inaugurated, he was given
the name of liberator. His re-
forms were so beneficial and his
popularity SO great that statue
to him was erected and placed in
the capitol where he was to be
acknowledged as the eighth king
of Italy.
It was in the year As B. G. that
Caesar, with the aid of Sosigenes,
an Egyptian astronomer, worked
out and gave to posterity the
system of days. months and seasons
of the year, as are in use at the
present time. OF the multitudes
that were friends at heart to Caesar
none were apparently more sim
Fcere than the members of his SEN
ate, in whom he had implicit
confidence. However, all the
praise and seeming loyalty was of
the most hypocritical nature, but
the populace were thought to have
been sincere and entirely ignorant
of the plans executed by members
of the senate. One Marcus Brutus
who, it is claimed, was the SON Of
Caesar by his mistress Servilia, was
the chief of the assassins, but it is
said that all of the members of the
plot, except Cicero, drew daggers
and attempted to thrust them into
the body of Caesar. It is hard to
realize what motive could have
prompted Brutus to such an act
Caesar had always befriended him,
had treated him as very dear son
and in whom he reposed implicit
confidence. Under Sulla, Brutus
had been ever string up strife
among the senators and had been
exiled, but was subsequently par
doned by Caesar, and had been the
recipient of many favors at his
hand. He had very recently sworn
to be faithful to Caesar, and if need
be, stand as sentry for his per-
sonal safety, as had the other
senators, at the conclusion of an
Grafton delivered by Cicero, in
which he emphasized, in wonder
full oratory, this mans noble life
and great deeds.
Not long after the delivery of
the Grafton by Cicerosand on the
18th day of March, Al B. c., at
the age of sixty-six, this great and
good man, whose orations are be-
ing translated and his wonderful
stories unraveled by thousands OF
scholars every year, met at the
hands of Brutus and his associates
a most ignoble death.
/ While Caesar was at the head OF
affairs in Rome, the senatorial
body had been greatly increased

be,ed eight hundred. Of this
number, sixty became members Of
the plot that resulted in his death
Those who had participated in the
conspiracy, or had sanctioned itE
formation, were within three years
all put to death. And the sad.
dest of all to those taking part
was the fact that they learned on
