The writer was one of the for
tunates who witnessed this exhi-
bition. and so intent was the in
terest that the fight of time was
lost sight of, and when the last
grand climax OF the masterpiece
was reached and the spectators
began to depart, it was then, and
only then, that the time con-
sumed was thought of, and an
evenings entertainment greater,
better and more profitable from
an amusement standpoint than
any ever spent before, had passed,
and the impression-the lesson
remained.

forced to submit to its deadly fangs,
in this case Cleopatra is assured by
the victim that her death was not
painful She turns from the court in
imperious grandeur, and orders the
slave bearing the serpeant to follow.
After entering another room the slave
sets the basket of fruit in which the

tress and withdraws.

Fifty Years
Before Christ,

The story dates back almost fifty
years before Christ, and is based on
historical facts, the scenes depicted
on the screen being the same as those
on which the real tragedy occurred,
and the participants in many cases
were probably descendants of those
VINO took part in the original drama
1000 years ago.

Tragic Death
OF Cleopatra.

A Roman soldier brusquely enters
and lays before her the tablet bear
ing the death sentence of Octavius-
She plucks the serpent from the
basket and applies It to her breast,
saying:
YEA. Caesar, thou hast conquered,
but in thy triumph Cleopatra SHAH
not walk. This only doth Egypt ask
of Caesar-that he suffer her TO 1iesfn
the tomb Of Antony. FAREWELL"
The departure OF the Romans and
their landing in Egypt. their mid
night march and surprise attack on
the Egyptians Is all visuali8ed by the
camera with o. beauty and charm
hardly conceivable. The suicide Of
Antony and death of Cleopatra by the
sting of the asp, together with the
triumphant return of Octavtus TO
Rome. are all shown with consum-
mate art. The story is one of charm
and spectacular beauty, and has no
peer.
And the lesson:
what profit man If he gain the
whole world and lose his own soui''
and the same applies to the woman
who was used of Satan TO destroy the
man she loved and herself as well. 1t

A Delightful Evening.

One of the incest social events of the
season, and one long to be remembered
by those present, was the delightful
entertainment given at the home OF
Miss Rosalie prentice in honor of the
Misses Dejean and Metcalf of Jennings.
The evening was ideal and everyone
present was in that frame of mind to
enjoy to the fullest the numerous and
entertaining games which were played
during the evening,

ming several lawn games were par.
ticipated in after which the young
people repaired to the house and again

love.

freshments were served by the charm.
ing hostess,
All too soon came the hour to say
goodnight, and everyone expressed
themselves as having one of the most
enjoyable times of their lives.

with q mixture of l part cement and
2 parts sand. The walls Of the vat
should be built one foot above the
surface of the ground. The slide
where the cattle go into the vat
should De three feet long with a fall
of two feet. The concrete should be
made as follows: Cement, part;
sand, 21s parts; gravel or broken
rock, parts, all thoroughly mixed
The dipping vat should be covered
with shed and provided with con-
venient pens, chute and dipping pen.
The ArsenicaI Solution.
The following formula is most COM
monty used:
Sodium carbonate (sal soda), "a
lbs; white arsenic, s lbs; pine tar,
gallon; water, 800 gallons.
Mix the soda and arsenic within
a kettle containing 80 gallons Of wa
ter; boil it 80 minutes; let this solu-
ton cool to 140 degrees, then slowly
add the pine tar.
Other Methods of Eradication.
In undertaking measures for eradi-
eating the tick it is evident that the
pest may be attacked in two loca-
tons, namely, on the pasture and on
the cattle.
In freeing pactures the method fol-
lowed may be either a direct or an
indirect one. The former consists in
excluding all cattle, horses and mules
from pastures until all the ticks have
died from starvation. The latter con-
sists in permitting the cattle and
other animals to continue on the in
tested pasture and dipping them at
regular intervals in the arsenical So
luton and thus preventing engorged
females from dropping and reinfest-
ing the pasture.
