SECOND ESSAY.
The ghost of Julius Caesar looked
threateningly at Brutus, the Stabbist.
Brutus sneered
you he said, 'to the mines!'
Not one of Caesars muscles quivered.
Brutus used short, sharp laugh.
"You," he said, ION your way!"
Caesar never batted an eyelash.
Brutus pointed to the rear.
Go way back he said, "and use
your laziness." ----.
Caesar pulled his toga up over his
cold shoulder.
Brutus laughed again, and it was the
saucy, triumphant laugh of the man who
lodges in front of woman and grabs
a seat on the elevated railroad.

"And your" inquired Brutus.
"The next time we meet you will
not do me as you did me at the base of
Pompeys statue" said the ghost of
Caesar, speaking for the first time since
we began this essay.
I'VE will not meet again, because
refuse to associate with you," said
Brutus.
Caesar smiled, but it was without
mirth, and as cold as the notice OF
suspension on the door of bank.
"Yes, we will meet again. said
Caesar.
"Where?" said Brutus.
"In the far, far future said the
ghost of Caesar shriekingly. "You will
be born into the world again by that
time, and in your new personality you
will be one of the Common People, and
you will burn gas"
