ner first big trip with her parents.
After travelling by automobile. train
and boat. they arrived on a Sunday
at Mackinaw Island. Her parents
decided to go to the little white Mis-
sion church to rest. and mediate.
kathryn was restless and f1dgety. The
minister mounted the steps Of the
pulpit. then stood lost In thought for
moment, as he looked over the wait
Ing congregation. A small impatient
voice broke the deathlike silence with
this question:
Mother. what's the matter with the
engine? Why don't we start?"

with.
One boy gazed long and earnestly.
then inquired with interest:

Inscriptions on Walls Reveal

this extraordinary imagery gives what

II is evident that gayety once

and from the variety of texts in

that, among the passions Of the epoch,
politics held an important place,
writes Edouard Schneider In ILLUS

preferences for this or that candidate

without expense to the public, will

The second informs us of similar
combat, adding the information that
~there will be combat with fer0cious
beasts and the velarium will be
stretched across the amphitheater to
keep OFF the SUM-"
The third. still more picturesque,
invites the public to spectacle which
will be given in the amphitheater to
celebrate the dedication of the pub
Lie archives In the Forum of Pompeii.
II tells us that Gneus Alleius Nigidius
Maiuss gladiators will fight; that
there will be procession, an animal
hunt. and that the amphitheater Will
be protected by the valerium. One
odd detail is that the man who wrote
the notice has inscribed his name, /
