War Bread of the Romans
EFrom the Detroit NeWsl

Suetonius, a Roman historian, in
his life of julius Caesar" describes
the war bread of the Roman soldiers
in 4S b. c.. as follows: When
Caesar began the Civil War every
centurion of each legion proposed
to supply from his own allowance,
and all the soldiers offered their
services without pay and without
rations, he,Ficher assuming the care
of the poorer. Throughout the long
struggle not one deserted, and many
who were captured refused to accept
their" lives when offered them on
the condition of serving against Cae-
sar. They bore hunger and other
hardships, both when in a state of
siege and when sbesieging others,
with such fortitude that when POM
pey saw in the works at Dyrrachum,
a kind of bread of herbs. on which
they were living, he said that he was
fighting wild beasts, and he gave
orders that it be put out of sight
quickly and shown to none of his
men, for fear that the endurance and
resolution of the foe would break

THE TOAST
The Christmas goose, that fowl sub
lima

The Christmas goose, that fowl sub
lime,
Bring hither, decked with holly,
That cen the wise at Christmas
-rr time s.rF#aF #staF sees
May have their taste of folly.
Bring forth the pie of mince so
good,
The pride of skilled concocters,
That all may prove their hardihood
And high disdain of doctors.
Bring in the pudding, flaming still,
Whose fragrance all surpasses;
And bring the bowl of what-you- will
Wherewith to charge the glasses.
And drink no other toast but this:
ITO those our hearts remember
Oh, may the Lads whom now we
miss
Be with us next December!"
Arthur Guiterman.

"HE"I OR "HIM?"

A moot point in English grammar
is discussed in Expressive English"
by James C. Fernald, Shall we say,
The boy stood on the burning deck
Whence all but he had fed,
or,
Whence all but him had fed?
The line, says Doctor Fernald, is
printed differently in different edl-
tions of the poets works that seem
of equal authority. Some one" he
says, has edited it. But which
way? All events, the present ten
dency is to treat but in such use as
q conjunction, talking the same case
after it as before it:
No Ine escaped the wreck but he;
The wreck was fatal to all but
him. From the Outlook.

The Profitable Nickel

tFrom the Youths Companion.1
Like the humble cent, the increas-
ed coinage of which was recently
mentioned in this column, the nickel
is in greater demand than ever. That
is fortunate, for the face value of
those taken coins" Is so much
greater than the value of the metal
they contain that the profit in manu-
featuring them, together with a
slight profit in manufacturing the
minor silver coins, more than meets
the entire running expenses of the
mint.
