LAUGHS the -Athenian,

"T am ready said the Athenian. He
had bent his limbs so as to give HIM
self the firmest posture at the expect
ed rush Of the lion, with his small and
shining weapons raised on high, in the
faint hope that one well-directed
thrust might penetrate through the eye
to the brain Of his grim foe.
"But to the unurterable astonish-
ment of all, the beast seemed not even
aware Of the presence Of the GRIM
inal. At the first moment Of its re-
lease 1t halted abruptly in the arena,
raised itself half ON end, snuffing the
upward air with impatient signs; then
suddenly it sprang forward, but not
on the Athenian. At half-speed 1t
circled round and round the space,
turning it's vast head from side to side
with an anxious and perturbed gaze,
as II seeking only some avenue Of es-
cape; once or twice 1t endeavored to
leap up the parapet that divided 1t
from the audience, and, on failing, ut
tered rather a baffled howl than its
deep-tOned and kingly roar. 1t evinced
no sign either Of wrath or hunger; its
tail dropped along the sand, instead Of
flashing It's gaunt sides; and its eye,
though 1t wandered at times to Glau-
Gus, rolled again listlessly from him.
At length, as If tired of attempting to
escape, it crept with moan into its
cage and once more laid itself down

"The first surprise Of the assembly
at the apathy of the lion soon grew
into resentment at its cowardice; and
the populace already merged their
pity for the fate of Glaucus into angry
compassion for their own disappoint-
ment. The manager called to the
keeper:
allow is this? Take a goad, and
prick him forth, and then close the
door of the den.'
"As the keeper, with some fear
but more establishment, was preparing
to obey, a loud cry was heard at one
of the entrances Of the arena; there
was confusion, hustle, voices Of
remonstrance suddenly breaking forth
and sudden silence at the reply. All
eyes turned in wonder toward the
quarter Of the disturbance; the crowd
gave way, and suddenly Sallust ap

hair disheveled, breathless. heated

A new pair of overalls set pretty
well and do not look 50 bad until after
they are washed once. Can you inn
agine a minister in his pulpit, a sup
RENE court Judge the bench, or
any of the -3big merchants" wearing
a pair of faded out or baggy overal1s?
The overall fad will last just long
enough to jump the price of overalls
high enough that it will soon be
cheaper to wear something else. The
1aboring man who must wear them
while at work will pay the big end
of the raise in price.
We are not opposed to wearing
overa1ls. We will wear deninas, jeans,
cotton clothes, old clothes, or any
other kind of clothes which will re-
duce the price of clothing. Wearing
your old clothes for a year or two, un-
til they are patched and really worn
out, will reduce the price of clothing
quicker than wearing overa11s for a
few months will.
Along this same line of trying to
reduce the price of clothing is noted
an item from Detroit in Tuesdays
daily which says one thousand steno-
sgraphers, bookkeepers and others
have signed up not to pay over SO
each for hat and shoes; $50 for suits;
$50 for dresses; $3.50 for hose and
$500 for pair of gloves. Some
method. lie they had hit lower level
it might help some.
But what's the use? People like to
be bled for their hard earned money
and will keep in style regardless of
cost. The profteers realizes this and
says: Go to it and get while the get
ting is good.
We are advised to advocate that
the people of the United States dis
continue the use of potatoes and sug-
ar for the next two months in order
to force down the price Probably we
| ought to live on beans and dried ap-
plies and use salt instead of sugar
If prices on the necessities of life
keep on soaring it will soon be that
the only person who can reach them
