JULY

After getting his tolls repeal bill
through the Roman Senate Caesar
insisted up on keeping that body in
session until it did something about
the trusts. The Senate had been in
continuous session Cor more than a
year, almost every plank in the plat
form had been religiously kept, and
many of the Senators had already
given up their chautauqua work for
one summer. The fact that Mark
Antony. Caesars Secretary of State,
was doing his chautauqua work on the
side, which the Senators could not
do, added bitterness to Impotence.
Caesar charged some of the Senators
with joining in business conspiracy
to save the trusts. He said he had
received thousands of letters from
business men saying that unless they
had peace and quiet for while every
thing would collapse. He accused
Brutus, Casca and others of the OPP.
position party with having inspired
these letters, and announced his de-
termination to keep the Senate at
work until it passed his trust bill, if
it took all summer. The next morn

House to the Senate chamber, he was
set upon by Casca and Brutus and
some of their associates, and assassin.

former the world had known up to
that time, soldier. statesman and
author. He had ended the war in
Gaul by dividing that country into
three parts, revised the Roman tariff
downward. reformed the currency,
adjusted the canal tolls controversy
with the Persians, and stuck strictly
TO business. neither going bear hunt
ing nor playing golf. Mark Antony,
who preached the funeral Grafton,
suggested that the month of Quintilus,
in which he had been born. become
his monument, and the name of the
month was therefore changed to July.
Being rid of Caesar, the Senate adj

and Rome fell. Once mistress of the

The college graduate will wake
From dreams of being in demand.
And p. familias will make
Him hustle as harvest hand.
The festive calf will swat the fly
With nice precision in its plump,
The territory voted dry
Will sadly rally round the pump,
The fisherman will cast his lot,
Where summer skies are soft and
blue.
And the widow will discover that
A one piece bathing suit will do.
The summer sun will take its place
another season overhead. and all the
area of space will turn a purgatory

men to might and main, and the crush

The spirit born of Bunker Hill will
fire few belated shots, and practiced
orators will thrill the populace or

balloons will flash and twinkle il
