:. CLEOPATRA

Marc Antony learns that Egyptian
troops are committing depredations on
Roman soil and lands his army on the
banks of the Cidnus where he receives
messages from the queen. Antony
dismisses them premptorily, demand
ing that Cleopatra herself appear in
person to deliver her apologies.
When Antony's order reaches Cleo
patra, the beautiful queen at first in
dignantly refuses and then on the adj
vice Of the court astrologer who pre-
diets her domination over Antony,
goes in grand and impressive state to
his camp on the banks of the Cidnus.
There follows three days Of revelry,
during which Antony falls completely
under the sway of Cleopatra's witch
cry and beauty. He accompanies her
back to Alexandria and, in the oriental
splcndor Of her court, soon looses all
memory Of his native land and peiple.
One year later in Rome, Octavia,
disconsolate wife of Antony, grievcs
for his absence and conides her sor-
row to her brother Octavius. He adj
vises her to set off for Egypt to re-
conquer Antony for herself and for
Rome. This the faithful Octavia
fails to do, meeting only contempt and
scorn in the palace of the Ptolemies.
She returns to Rome and incites the
senate against Antony and a :. few
months later a great Roman army ur-
der command Of Octavius storms AL
oXandria. In the ensuing battle the
combined armies Of Antony and Cleo
patra i completely crushed and An

manned loyal to him, to put an end to
his life.
And once again the beautiful Cleo

kind, pleading with Octavius with all
her vo]uptous beauty and cleverness of
mind to spare her kindom.
Octavius. determined to end her
reign, promises only a life of slavery;
so Cleopatra, with the vision of An
tony's grave before her, finds solace
in the fangs of a poisonous asp.

Al II time in Rome, political Of
fees were auctioncd off in public to
the highest bidder. In ancient Greece
theft was not considered so much of q
disgrace as being caught at it. Our
prisons are not ideal, but we have
made progress in dealing with crime.
There were formerly fourteen offens-
es in Delaware punishable by hanging.
In the early history of Connecticut
lying was punishable by five stripes at
Tie whipping post and confinement in
stock;no man was allowed to use to-
bacco within ten miles of others; peo-
pie were imprisoned in awful dun
geons for debt. IN Rome men were
sold into slavery to pay debts; cred
itors could tear the body Of a debtor
to pieces, each receiving a piece &C
cording to his credit. The demagogue
rails against present conditions; he
would have us believe the bottom has

With truth to stir up discomfort. To-
day is the best creation has even seen.

WATCH YOUR HEART
AFTER F0RTy-FNE

In the October American Magazine
a contributor writes under the title
"Growing Young at Fifty" tells how
by following a few simple rules: he re-
covered his health in the late FORT. IS
and how at fifty he finds himself let
ter and stronger than ever. In the
course of this article he quotes a ply
sician as commenting, as follows. on a
mans heart at the age of forty-fve.
"You must remember that at the
forty-fifth year at the latest, the heart
loses part of its elasticity, just as does
the eye; and when men go on working,
smoking, drinking, exercising, as if
they were forty, disaster is sure TO
follow. That's what you did. and you
very nearly paid the penalty"

HE KNEW HOW.

There was an old geezer and he had a
lot of sense;
He started up a business on a dollar
eighty cents
The dollar for stock and the eighty
for an ad
Bought him three lovely dollars in a
day, by dad!
Well, he bought more goods and a lit
more space
And he played that system with a
smile on his face.
The customers flocked to his two-by,
four
And soon he had to hustle for a reg
ular store.
Up on the square, where the people
pass,
He gobbled up a corner that was all
plate glass.
He fixed up the windows with the best
that he had
And he told 'em all about it in a half
page ad.
He soon had 'em coming and he never,
never quit
And he wouldn't cut down on his ads
n jit.
Well, he's kept things humping in the
townte ever since
And everybody calls him the merchant
Prince.
Some say it's luck, but that's all
bunk
Why he was doing business when the
times were punk.
People have to purchase and the gee
Zer was wise
For he knew the way to get 'em was
to advertise. ~

KEEP HANDS FROM CHAPPING
Or II They Are Now In Bad Condition
Here Are Remedies That
Will Help.

The first chilly day is the day one
should begin to wage q war against
chapped hands. II you can keep your
hands from becoming chapped in the
transitional weather between hot and
cold. you will have little difficulty with
them later on, for 1t Is in the first
cold days that they are especially SEN
sitive to cold. Still, 1t Is never too
late.
Chapped hands are almost always
caused by insufficient drying after
washing, or perhaps the water was Icy
cold and very hard. or used too hot.
Both extremes are bad for the skin.
To preserve the hands in good con-
dition In cool weather. they should.
whenever possible. be washed In
tepid water. and II this is softened by
a teaspoonful of borax SO much the
better.
Be sure to use a soap pr good quail
ity. and when drying tn hands take
the precaution Of bling each
finger separately.
II the hands are rubbed over once
a day with a slice of lemon and q
little cold cream. or II mutton tallow
is rubbed into them thoroughly before
going to bed at night. there will BE-
little danger Of the skin becoming
chapped or rough.

STUDY WAR LESSONS
Congress Will Wait for Results
in Europe.
To Take No Action for National De-
Tense Until Proof Of Offensive
and Defensive Efficiency is
Produced.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

Staff Correspondent OF the Western News
per Union.
Washington.-Congress is giving at
tention to the matter Of military pre-
paredness
Through speeches made in congress
and through the hearing before the
rules and military committees facts
are coming out concerning the navy
and the army Of the republic. No facts
are attested which have not been at
tested before. but today there is so
much interest in the general matter
Of preparedness that the committee
proceedings are getting wide publicity
while in years past when the same
thing was told the committeeman,
little or no attention was paid to them.
The war in Europe has changed the
whole situation.
Unquestionably congress will make
a study Of the lessons of the European
war by the military experts before it
appropriates money for specific types
of big guns or of battleships. 1t does
not seem likely that the dreadnaughts
are to pass, although it does seem
likely that the submarines will be
given a much more permanent place
in the plan of defense. Small field
howitzers may give way to big
field howitzers and 1t is barely pos
sible that the big IL and 14-inch sea-
coast guns may lose their emplace-
ments to the 16-inch guns. but before
final decision is made the efficiency

and the range and penetration and
general deslructiveness of the differ.

be determined. The present war is

Of offensive and defensive efficieAcy.

These answers of high ranking off,
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1915-01-29

GERS and of high civilian officials were
contributed some time ago to a New
York publication. A senator OF the
United States secured permission to
have the answers printed as a public
document. Until recently there were
comparatively few calls for this docu-
ment, but it can be secured today and
in 1t can be found just what high
officials, military and civil. think is the
trouble With the land forces of the
United States.
For instance there Is an answer to
the question made by former Secre-
tary of War Henry L. Stimson. He
cites examples Of the troubles and
says that they serve to show our
lack of intelligent system in dealing
with our army" Then he adds:
These are all matters for us. They
demand the intelligent interest of the
citizens just as much as they involve
his ultimate safety and welfare"
The answers originally appeared in
the New York Independent and the
opinions Of the officials at the head
of the articles In answer to the Ques-
ton were put into few words. These
condensed are some of the answers to
the query: What is the matter with
our army"
1T lacks concentration" Major Gen.
eral Leonard Wood.
1T is needlessly expensive" Major
General w. w. Wotherspoon.
1T lacks organization" Brigadier
General Clarence R. Edwards.
Its alienation from the people"
Colonel Hunter Light.
Its piecemeal development and
divided control" Major George H.
Shelton.
The national failure to realize its
purpose" Brigadier General Robert
Evans.
The congress Of the United States
at this session will attempt to ind out
whether these officers are right or not
and it seems likely that the people
as a result of congressional debates
will be able to determine for them
selves just where our armed service
stands.
