1900 years ago trained gladiators and
Christian martyrs were "butchered to
make Roman holiday
At Mines is also the most perfectly
preserved Roman temple in existence.
1t is a lovely little Corinthian edifice
now known as the Maison Carree, and
dates from the year 4 A. D. This
beautiful little temple, which is now
used as a museum of antiquities,
served to some extent as a model for
the great church of the Madeleine in
Paris.
Among other interesting Roman
ruins in Mines are the Gateway of Au-
gustus Caesar, the beautiful Temple of
Diana, and the Baths of Diana, which
have been excavated, after having
been buried for over 1,500 years. The
Roman name of Mines was Nemausus,
and the Emperor Hadrian, who did
much to beautify the city, at one time
contemplated making it his capital.
About 15 miles from Mines, near
the picturesque little provencal village
Of Romonlius, may be seen one of the
grandest and most impressive of all
the Roman structures known to the
present age. 1t is the wonderful aque-
duct across the river Gard, constructed
in the year 81 B. C. by Marcus Agrip-
pa, the great general and son-in-law of
Augustus Caesar, and known to the
world as the Point du Gard.
There is perhaps no ancient struc-
ture in all of Rome that brings us so
closely in touch with the mighty en-
gineers of that greatest age of the en-
pire as does this splendid old bridge
which still towers across the valley
of the Gard among the lonely hills of
southern France. 1t spans two hilltops
nearly a thousand feet apart and car
ries an aqueduct upon three super-im-
posed tiers of massive stone arches at
height of $50 feet above the brawl
ing stream.

do things right, but we have got to take
the time and labor to do them right

Mr. McNeal said:

provision for an unlimited mutual liza

Judgment, dishonest and Incompetent
bankers, without any recognition of
the time-tried, strong banker, who may
have spent lifetime in building up his
reputation Under the provisions of
this law, the State Banking Board is
required to levy an assessment equal to
one per cent. of the average deposits
In each bank, and, In the future, to levy

sufficient to maintain this fund, at one

Oklahoma There have been seventy
seven new state bank charters issued
