ROMAN LIFE
By Bertha Heard.

Caesar lived during the last CEN
tury of the republic when Rome
had more people under her sway
than ever before. A time of gen.
eral activity when he who would
be great must do some great deed
A time also when Romans were
very patriotic and under their en-
ergetic leaders very DESTROYS OF e2-
tending the possessions of Rome.
Because of this feeling the citizens
turned their attention to political
affairs instead of literary affairs
The men were either soldiers, or
ators or statesmen If they wef
not they had no real part IN the lie
of that age, for these three Voca-
tions were the only ones that OF
fered prominent positions TO am
biticus Romans. Another re ason
for this was the great demand for
Il soldiers end statesmen and the nat
ural longing of Roman Tor tns
l strife and excitement OF the battle
field and the Forum Their grea
ambition was to bring honor t.
their country and to themselves
Their government consisted o

nected with the Senate and this
showed that they had risen from
the rank they had once occupi. d
when they were little better than
serfs and the noblemen were su-
preme. OF course the noblemen
and middle classes we're much
above the commoners but yet the
common people had risen much
/ higher and enjoyed more rights
than they had in earlier years.
There were public institutions
such as baths, theaters and the hol-
iday feasts that noblemen and com
moners like took delight in. These
institutions were in charge of the
means of acquiring popularity.
Such was the case with Caesar.
Literature had no great part IL
the public life of the Romans il
this age 1t might be read at home
for pleasure but it did not have
such prominent place as it hac
before and after this period. Tx
be sure there were great orators
with Cicero at their head, bu
there were no such writer's as Vir
gil, Horace or Ovid. 1t was mere
ly the lull before the storm for il
the next few years Latin Literature
attained such a degree of great
ness that the time was known a
, the Golden Age of literature il
Rome.
Thus we may say that Caesar
reign, altho it was in the dcclinin
5 years of the republic, paved tn
] way for the glory that Rome al
tanned in conquests and especial
: in letters in the reign of Augusta:

POOR GOODS, CHEAP PREMIUMS.
How Money 10 Sometimes squandered
In Patronizing Prize-Paekaae
Concerns.

The economical housewife is
blessing. She who will watch the
pennies and dimes can greatly assist
her husband in accommodating money
for use during days OF adversely.
Quite often women through their anx-
iety to assist In saving, and not having
a training along business lines, make
foolish expenditures. How often do
we find women in the country towns
and districts engaged in buying soaps.
spices. teas and coffees from some
club-order concern with a view Of get
ting cheap premiums that are OFFER
ed with each lot of goods? There is
no economy in this method. Women
as well as men should remember that
there is never anything Of value given
without an equitable compensation,
and when purchased on the club plan
the profits paid are generally enor-
nous. You cannot get something for
nothing. II you desire to purchase
$40 or $50 worth of groceries, the best
place to buy them is at some re.
sponsible grocery establishment in
your own town. You can see what
you are getting. and you know that the
goods must be good or you can re-
turn them. When you get premium
with lot Of soaps or spices or ex-
tracts. you will find that while the
goods may appear all right, there is a
great chance of fraud that you little
look for. The bars OF soap will be
OF light weight. poorly dried made OF
cheaper materials. and would be dear
at your home store at half the price
that you are compelled to pay for
them. The spices will be half ground
bark. and the extracts synthetic, never
made from fruit flavors, but out OF the
dirty-looking coal-tar. by-product OF
gas-manufacturing. and even the teas
and coffees will be Of the poorest kind
and doctored up to look we'll Then
how about the premiums? You will
find that they. too. are Of the cheapest
Gloss. and could be purchased at the
local store for half what they are
represented to be worth. Women are
only doing their duty in trying to as.
sist their husbands. but too often they
waste money by patronizing premium
and club concerns that operate from
distant cities In small towns and ru,
raj communities.

A man and his wife were once stay

were aroused from their slumber by
the cry that the hotel was on fire.

preached. Put on all your indispens-

Then he slipped his watch into his

When all danger was past he said:

AarieulturaIists Have Il in Their
Power to curtail the Operation of
Trusts and Prevent Unequal

Farms Of the United States in 1907
will produce more wealth than all the
gold mines of the world have produc-
ed in 20 years. Conservative estimates
place the value Of all farm products at
approximately 37.000. 000, 900, or about
5000 200, 900 more than their value in
1906. The farmer IL the magician, The
alchemist, that makes use OF nature to
enrich the world. The farmers corn
crops alone average = billion dollars
year. and all the other cereals an
other billion. with cotton, tobacco, hay
and fax worth another billion, and the
fruits. garden truck and animals few
billions more. Thus 1t can be seen that
the farmer. produces wealth greater
than taken from 4 by the miners for
its precious gems and minerals. There
Is no other foundation for the wealth
and business Of the world other than
the land. Men cannot eat gold; the
coal Is only useful to him as means
Of utilizing what the earth grows;
there Is nothing in the mineral world
that will sustain life. or anything that
is necessary unless mortals eat, drink
and wear clothes. When there Is
