Caesar and the Empire.

The reason why the Roman en-
pire succeeded the republic" was that
there was felt to be an urgent need OF
a strong central power. For many
years the republic mad been desoIated
and the cry of the whole people was
for peace-peace almost at any price.
Now, peace could be secured only By
the ascendancy Of a single man, rul-
ing with absolute and irresistible
sway. So the people acquiesced in the
change, They even hailed It with Joy.

wife SHED MANY TEARS,

From Saturdays Daily.
One of the most pathetic scenes
ever witnessed in the municipal
court, came before Judge w. l..
Comstock this morning, when Elyle
Freeman was tried on a charge of
nonsupport and neglect of his wife,
Mrs. Minnie Freeman
The weeping wife told her story
of married life the second year, and
for pathos, the tale, Married Life
the Second Year." published in a
city paper, has no comparison.
Mr. Freeman claimed on the stand
that he had done the best he could
and said that there were times he
was out of employment and could
not give his wife money. There were
some things introduced by the state
that did not reflect any credit on the
defendant.
Judge COmstock, after careful con-
sideration decided to order the de-
PENDANT to file a bond of 500 as
surety, for such time as he could
provide for his wife, and that out of
his salary his employers pay Mrs
freeman $40 a week. Freeman is
to report to the court on October |,
at nine O'Clock. Upon default of the
furnishing the bond, he is to be
committed to the county Jail for a
term not exceeding six months. eff
he loses his job and fails to provide
for his wife, he goes to JAIL" said
the judge.
Mr.. Freeman has been given en-
ployemnt by . local firm. He will
be given every opportunity to make
good, and it is hoped he will take
advantage of it. His employer will
give him every assistance possible
and there is no reason why Freeman
cannot support his wife and child.
He has been shown considerable len
iency. Now he should show his APP
probation of what has been done for
him.
While Mrs. Freeman related her
story, tn ehearts of old-time court
habitues were touched!

effect of right and body blow and
lay inert in the ring.
Palzer, who had been knocked down
by the Britisher in the opening round,
sent Wells to the floor toward the
end of the second session.and knocked
him down twice in the third round.
Wells was no sooner up the second
time than Palzer planted hard right
below the heart Wells sank to the
floor, crumpled in heap, and lay
there helpless.
1t was a rapid and exciting fight
from the start Wells opened with a
light left to the face and Palzer sent
left and right to the head. Wells then
did some clever side stepping and
then led left and right to the head,
cutting Palzer's lip. Wells sent left
and right back to the jaw and Palzer
went down for count of six seconds
When Palzer got up Wells sent two
straight lefts to the face This was
Wells round.
In the second round Wells landed
lefts and rights to the head and Pal

later repeated the performance
