An Inmate of the Federal Prison at
Atlanta Is the Defendant.
Although a convict in the federal
prison Stamatis Stamatopoulos has
been made a defendant in a suit for
over $4,000 by former business
associate. Stamatopoulos was the
agent in New York for Constantine
Joannidis, a Greek subject, who was
a heavy importer of olives and other
articles. The agent was overcharg-
ed in duties, and recently was given
judgment in duties against the
United States for $4,000. The
probe, however, showed that he was
mixed up in fraudulent transactions
and he was sent to the Atlanta pen
itentiary. Now Joannidis claims
$4,000 of the $4,000 is his.

DRUNKNEss GROWING LESS

All else is vanity" said Sardanapa-
lus, the last king of the Syrians, and
those words were written on his
tomb.
The ancients were so fond of drink
that their most popular god was
Bacchus. Their feasts in honor of
Bacchus, Venus and Saturn were
characterized by debauches from
which the most advanced inebriates
would shrink in horror and disgust
The average gourmand of Athens or
Rome ate and drank more in a single
day than we do in a week.
Antiquity of Drunkenness.
The antiquity of drunkenness is
not known, but one Of the most an
cient accounts of a Jag is that of
Lot, which is told in the Book of
Genesis. The Persians, whose his
tory goes back as far as any, were
famous drunkards in the old days
The Greeks were moderate drink
ers until they began to copy the lux
ury of the Persian feasts. The Ro-
mans initiated the Greeks. Then
the whole world went on a mad
drunk. 1t was a saturnalia.
In the beginning no wrong was
thought of drinking, and the moral
lists even advised drink to dispel mel
ancholy. Hippocrates upheld drink
ing and earnestly advised the peo-
pie to drown their sorrows in wine.
when shall we live If not now?"
was the giddy advice of the sober
Seneca
The Romans carried overindul-
gence to an extreme never equaled
in another age. Gluttony and in
Temperance reigned and huge fort
unes were spent in single repasts.
Claudius was noted for the rare
wines he served. He often had 900
guests at his table. Like Tiberius,
he died from eating the wrong kind
of mushrooms.
Caligula owes his niche in the
hall of fame to the drunken banquets
with which he made Rome marvel.
The excuses made fashionable by
such potentates as Lucullus, Nero,
Vitellius, Verres, Tiberius Caligula
and Domitian really began in the
days of Pompey, and they marked
the beginning OF. the end of the re-
public.
At the feasts of these rulers
the amphorae, enormous vases, some
with capacity of many barrels,
were filled with wine. Even the
fountains flowed with wine, which
was dipped up by the youthful ser
wants and handed to the guests while
young girls sang and danced.
Of the many feasts given by Vitel-
Illus not one cost less than $500,
and his reign was almost contin-
uous debauch. Commodus was a
notorious drunkard, and Septimus
was not much better. Serverus died
of overindulgence in the flowing
bowl.
The Romans borrowed from the
Greeks the custom of appointing the
master of the feast, whose duty it
was to name the number of cups of
wine each guest should be allowed
to drink.
It was famous sport to see guest
drink a cup of wine for every letter
in his mistress name.
Then, as now, the high and great
were responsible for the fashions
which the others followed. The no
bles and even the rich business men
were as prodigal and Incorporate as
the triumvirs, consuls and emper-
ors.
Peronius Arbiter tells of the rare
wines served at the notorious feast
of Trimalcho, the land owner, who
was often a host to the emperor,
and whose professional meat carver,
Carpus, was noted as a lord in his
day, At one of his dinners a ser
want appeared bearing a skeleton of

silver, the joints of which were so
ingeniously arranged that the limbs
dangled and danced. Trimalcho ex-
claimed:
''Of such are we-let US live while
We may!"
The expression lived long in Rome.

Nero were the marvel of the age,

The Sybarites bestowed public
honor on those who gave the most
splendid banquets, drank the most
wine and got the drunkest.

For Pointers on How to Get IntOXi-

Stunts of Olden-Time in Eating
and Drinking.
Never in the history of the world
has real temperance been more in
evidence than it is today. The day
has passed when it was considered
the mark of a gentleman to come
Keeling home at night with blotched
face and eYil-smelling breath. There
are a few persons who have gained
regulations for the amount of food
and drink they habitually consume,
but only a few. Teetotalers may
not believe this, but if they read the
following they will realize that the
world at least is forge ting how to
get really good and drunk" The
men of 80 or 70 years ago were great
drinkers, but for pointers on how to
get drunk and spend money it is
necessary to turn to the ancients.
Largest Tip on Record.
Caesar, on a certain occasion,
while drunk on wine, is said to have
gwen Eutychus, his charioteer, tip
amounting to $4,000, the largest
money tip on record. The most reck-
less OF our modern millionaires now
thinks he's making an awful splash
when he tips his chauffeur a $40
note,

ne dled OF drink at the age of 80.
DIonysius, the younger, tyrant of
oIclly, went on sprees which lasted
lnree months at time. He lost his
eyesight through overindulgence
Nero was in the habit of sitting
oo|n at noon and sticking there I'M
III midnight, eating and drinking all
the time.
Ilberius was sincere drunkard.
Alter becoming emperor of Rome he
was drunk so often that his army
nlllcknamed him "Biberius," meaning
fIppler." He had two pals, Flaccus
and Piso, with whom he went on
sprees. At the weeping stage they
depIored the prevalence of drunken
ness.
One time Tiberius had vacancy
LOT the quaestorship, and there were
many applicants for the job. The
man who got it drank a whole pitch
er Of strong wine which Tiberius
himself had filled. The successful
applicant had neither position nor
pull but Tiberius said the man
VINO could drink that amount of
VINE was the man for the place.
ilberius was as cranky about eat
ing as drinking. He gave Sabinus
$4,000 for writing a sketch in which
an oyster, thrush and mushroom
inquired as characters. Tiberius was
very fond of mushrooms, and died
from eating the wrong kind.
Nowhere in all the world today
viii you find as many confirmed
drunkards as there were among the
Ihracians, the Ibernians, the Celts
or the Scythians. The man who did
not get drunk every day or two was
regarded as queer.
Eat, drink and amuse yourself.

Regarding the State Highway.

The Kansas City chapter
Daughters of the American Rev

a Santa Fe trail committee. This
committee has formulated an adj
dress to the people Of Missouri
in the form Of an appeal for the
selection of the Boone's Lick

route for the proposed cross
state highway. The appeal is
as follows:

Santa Fe trail, connecting at Old

Missouri a century ago in 1872,

public service.
