HISTORIAN APPLIES
 WHITEWASH TO THE CHARACTER OF CLEOPATRA

Next Monday will be the 1,945th Ianniversary of the tragic death of Queen Cleopatra, the lovely but naughty Egyptian ruler whose way ward charm still makes as powerful an appeal to the imagination of men
 as it did in the days when she enann- Iored Caesar and lured Antony from the path of duty and led him to his doom It was on the thirtieth of August, 30 B. C., that Cleopatra, find ing that all her wileS and arts made
 no impression upon the stern August us, conuueror of Antony, and that her life was spared only that she might
 grace the triumph of her captor, de-
 terrnined to escape this ignominy by
 a. voluntary death. Ordering a splen-
 did feast, she put an asp, which had
 been brought to her concealed in
 flowers, by faithful servant, on her
 fair arm, and the bite of the serpent
 caused her death. Cleopatra was in
 her fortieth year. and had reigned over Egypt for twenty-two years, at
 the time of her passing from the earthly stage on which she had shone
 so brilliantly.
 Through all the centuries the name and fame of Cleopatra has been cele- brated by historians, poets and philo- sophers That she was a woman of surpassing beauty and of unusual in- tellect is admitted by most historians, but in connection with her love af- fairs, especially that with Antony, she has been accused of indulgence in shameful debauchery," wild orgies, and unspeakable vices. Of late years, however, historians have been inclin- ed deal more leniently and charitably with Cleopatra, and in some of the recent books dealing with the life of the daughter of Ptolemy Athletes her character has been treated to a thor ough coat of whitewash. We are now asked to believe that the lovely queen has been unjustly maligned, that her faults were those which she shared in common with other princesses of her time, and that she possessed many sterling virtues. It is charged that her enemies were responsible for spreading the generally accepted esti- mate of her character, and that the testimony of the unprejudiced offers much in her favor. It is pointed out that at the time she is accused of en- snaring Caesar she was an innocent girl of twenty-one, while the illustri- ous Roman was an experienced man of the world and a veteran of many love affairs. In Rnaking love to the Egyptian princess, Caesar was ami

THE CRISIS.

THE CRISIS. When a deed is done for Freedom. through the broad earth's aching breast
 Runs a thrill of joy prophetic, trembling on from east to west, And the slave, where'er he covers, feels the soul within him climb To the awful verge of manhood, as the energy sublime Of a century bursts full-blossomed on the thorny stem of Time. Through the walls of hut and palace shoots the instantaneous throe. When the travail Of the Ages wrings earth's system to and fro; At the birth of each new Era, with a recognizing start, Nation wildly looks at nation, stand ing with mute lips apart, And glad Truths vet mightier man child leaps beneath the Futures heart.
 %* For mankind are one in spirit, and an instinct bears along, Round the earth's electric circle, the swift flash of right or wrong; Whether conscious or unconscious, yet Humanity's vast frame Through it's ocean-sund dered hbers feels the gush of joy or shame;- In the gain or loss of one race all the rest have equal claim. Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, Tn the strife of Truth with False hood, for the good or evil side; Some great cause, Gods new Mes siah, offering each the bloom or blight,
 Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the sheep upon the right, And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light.
 
 They have rights who dare maintain them; we are traitors to our Snothering in their holy ashes Free doom's new-ht a1tar-hres; Shall we make their creed our jai1er? Shall we, in our haste to Slay, From the to4nbs of the old prophets steal the funeral lamps away To light up the artyr-fagots round the prophets of today? New occasions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good un- couth.
 They must upward still, and onward, who would keep abreast of Truth;
 I-o, before us gleam her campfres! we ourselves must Pilgrims be, Launch our Mayfiower, and steer boldly through the desperate winter sea, Nor attempt the Futures portal with the Past's bIood-rusted key

Paris, Sept. 3--A heroine of France for whom the war cross is demand ed by the press is Madame Cantora, wife since August 6 of Lieutenant Cantora, who lost both eyes and one arm in the Argonne. Both husband and wife are Corsicans. As soon as Madame Contora, then Mademoise1le Pattrion, heard of her hance's wounds, she started for Paris.
