Augustus.

Octavius, who was later known as
Augustus. Caesar. was the adopted son
of Julius Caesar Mark Antony
friend of Caesar, after his death had
become usurper. and tried to hold all
the powers of a real dictator. But
he was opposed by Octavius. on whose
war broke out between himself and
Antony and Lepidus, his (Antonysl
friend. Several battles We're fought,
mostly indecisive, after which Octavius
proposed reconciliation. So they All
three met and after debating Whlie,
they formed what was known as me
Second Triumvirate. Octavius was TO
govern the West, Antony the East,
and Lepidus was TO vontrol AFRICA
Their plans were very infamous. Eacn
of them was TO give up 70 the qtuer

Cicero was among the first. Allei

There was also a suspicion that he
would make Alexandria the capital in
the place of Rome. Everybody then
looked up TO Octavius as the defender
of Italy. He collected an army and
fleet and met Antony, with Cleopatra,
at Actium. a promontory on the
Grecian coast. octayius gained the
victory, and was left sole ruler.
From the battle OF Actium was dated
the end of the republic and beginning
of the empire.
Octavius, now the only ruler, was
mindful of the fate of Julius Caesar,
and did not openly claim the title
of king, but in reality he had all the
Senate. the Consuls, the Tribunes and
the Praetors. but he was the chief
person, for he really ruled over them.
Although he did not have the title of
king, the Senate gave him the titles of
imperator and Augustus.

who did not want to conquer more
lands, but to hold what he had; for, If
he conquered more land, it would be
impossible for him to hold 1t all. and
besides. he could not civilize it,
forty-four years. nourished more and
was more peaceful than any other. 1t
was in his reign that Christ was born
at Bethlehem.
He also built many large structures,

he died, after prosperous reign.

Our Picnic.
our rICNIC.

One day this summer we decided to
have IL picnic. There We're no invSed
"guests"-just mother Gather had to
stay at home and keep house, and my
brothers and sisters and three visiting
cousins. We had planned to so directly
after lunch. but, OF course, something
had to prevent and the trouble this
time was that 1t looked like q thunder
storm, and all OF US were for staying.
But soon it began to clear in the west,
the horses. We filed large farm
wagon full of hay and spread robes on
top OF that, so we had regular hay
ride
OF the wagon and swung our feet cat
of the back. and We had fine time.
Well we drove for about mile. and
then we came to the river. and ehat
is where we stopped.
After the boys had carried the. sup
per to the river we Went to look for
a baseball diamond, and oh, my! we
came 70 the incest one you ever struck.
Well we got the teams together
Hhree on each team). and-greatest or
horrors!-I hadIto be the umpire! or
course, cheated, like all umpires that
didn't know anything about the game;
so I didn't mean to cheat.
The players would ask me II that
was a strike. and maybe / was eating
apples and not noticing the ball, and
| would Just have to call 1t something.
i benched the players sometimes, but
would have to put them in again, be-
clause. you know, they couldn't play
with less than three.
After we had finished a very exciting
game. with the score IL to 10, we went
to see about supper. The "old folks"
had 1t already for US. and, I tell you,
the supper didn't go begging.
After while we started home. We
sang all the way. We. got there when
all was dark and silent" and went
to bed, and dreamed of the

A BoY IN GRAY.

The sun was sinking behind the hill.
And all the world was quiet and stili,
Along the way
To the old graveyard
Where lay covered with the sod,
A boy in gray.
While doing his duty he was shot
through the heart.
And straightway from this world did
depart
On that fearful day;
His grave Is covered with clover,
Which sways and rocks over
A boy in gray.
He had not friend In the wide, wide
And no one cared whether he was
thrown or hurled
Or cast away;
He was daring and brave,
But was brought to his grave,
While boy In gray.
Little do they think, little do they
know,
That their other dear children may go
AS they put him away;
They left not word of memorys
Save the inscription on tree,
