every circumstance that could add to
the horror of the scene, and consterna-

Julius Caesar.

death ffty-six years old. 1t is not
alone as a military genius that his
fame endures. BY almost common
consent he was the most remarkable

writer, statesman and administrator.
In addition to these high accomplish
ments he was great mathematician

in his manner one of the most at

Do You Help othsrsa

It has been tritely said that for ev-
cry one who stands alone there are
twelve to lean against him. How is 1t
with you? Are you one of those
against whom others lean for help and
encouragement, or are you leaning
against some one and drawing your
inspiration and courage from him? 1t
depends entirely on yourself whether
you take a positive attitude In your
work or whether your negative char
acteristic shall dominate. 1t is much
easier to go through life making as
little effort as possible, but it is a
poor way If we are going to make
life yield even small modicum of
what 1t holds for us. If you are work
ing earnestly and hoping for success
there is only one way to attain it, and
that is through your positive charac-
teristics Philadelphia Ledger.
