The grocer's boy was about to

"Hold on" he said, 'is that Cali

NO, sir" answered the boy. "Its

"Well, then, l won't take it. Some

After the customer had gone away

Fate of Early Roman Women Given to
Wine drinking.

Guglielmo Ferrero in the
May McClure's.)
For many centuries the Ro-
mans were water.drinkers; little
wine was made in Italy, and that
of inferior quality; commonly
not even the rich were won't to
drink it daily; many used it only
as medicine during illness; WON
en- were never to drink it. For
a long time any women in Rome
who used wine inspired a sense
of repulsion. At the time of Pc
lybius ladies were allowed to
drink only a little passum; that
is, sweet wine mixed with rails.
ems, a kind of syrup. About the
women too much given to the
beverage of Dionysus, terrifying
stories were told. 1t was said,
for instance, that the wife of Ig-
natius Mecenius was beaten to
death by her husband, because
she secretly drunk wine, and
that Romulus had absolyed the
husband. 1t was told on the
word of Fabius Pictor, who men,
toned it in his annals, that a Ro-
man lady was condemned by the
family tribunal to die Of hunger,
because she had stolen from her
husband the keys to the wine
cellar. 1t was said the judge
Dionysus condemned to the loss
Of her dover, a wife who, un-
known to her husband, had
drunk more than was good for
her health, this story is one
which shows that women began
to be allowed to use wine as a
medicine.

The Investigation of the alleg-
ed mismanagement of the Mis-
souri, State University, which
has been conducted by a special
committee appointed by the
House, has pursued it's inquiries
in a really remarkable manner,
considering that the people of
the state are entitled to the full
lest possible Information. The
special committee has surround
ed itself with mystery ever since
it began the investigation. All
witnesses were sworn to secre-
cy and the public and represen.
tatives Of the press were exclud-
ed from the hearings. A major
ity of the members of the House
are opposed to the secrecy sur
rounding the Investigation. If
the University has nothing to
conceal, as its friends so strongly
urge, it is not easily understand
able why the State University
should have anything to hide,
and if it hasen't why all this air
of mystery.-Glasgow Nilsson

drainage, the soil is good, grass and
trees will grow nicely, the building
will present an imposing figure; it is
easy of access, lastly but not least, it can
be purchased for trifie over $4,000. 90,
for the whole block.
Some persons favoring the old SITE
argue that the ground of the old site
was donated and decided to the county
for courthouse only, and to build the
new courthouse on any other site would
cause the ground to- revert to the rail-
road company, if this be true, it is good
and sufficient reason for letting the old
courthouse remain where it is, as the
county will still have use for it for
county purposes, and thus retain their
right to hold it.
We have been creditably informed
that Court street, was 80 called, because
of the block, on which our High School
now stands, was donated to the county
for a courthouse, we have never heard
that it reverted to the railroad company
then why should it do so in this case?
1t will not be very long before the
people will be taxed for more room for
the High School. The town will soon
have to consider the matter of sewerage,
this means incorporation of the town,
this in turn calls for municipal govern.
ment, which in turn, means the election
Of mayor, aldermen, city attorney, this
in turn suggests police court, and
quarters for municipal government, &c,
if these things be done, some body must
be taxed for the payment of the cost
thereof.
Fellow taxpayers wake up, and never
under any conditions, allow these good
buildings belonging to the county, to be
ruthlessly destroyed, when it is apparent
that such buildings are so much needed
We believe. that we speak the true
sentiments of seventy-fYe per cent of
the taxpayers of the county, and in
| justice to them, the matter Of choice of
courthouse site should be left to u vote
of the taxpayers only.
