Campaigns Today Have Many Strlk
ing Points of Similarity to Those

Conqueror.
The Halt, the Blind and the Maimed.
The large number of men, women,
girls, and boy« In Great Britain who
■re receiving wages they never dreamt
of before the war. are not always un­
mindful of the wants of others. In
fact, many of the “world’s sad dere­
licts" are benefiting substantially by
the good times of-their more fortunate
Brethren. Instances of It are very no­
ticeable in the Black country. On pay
Bay. iu the particular region, may be
■sen wandering to a convenient “pitch"
the malm, the hplt. anti the blind. Some
hive musical Instruments which they
perform upon. Others sing, some are
Mind, and others are minus a limb.
They an have capo or other receptacles
for coppers. When the works gates
■re «pen. and tbs workers come forth
with pockets full of money, there Is
a vanction In the music which can
be described as weird. But la Is a
great time for the musicians. There
la a continual “dink, dink." Into the
cape of the poor folk until the last
worker has passed their line.
Put Both on Their Feet.
“It was In the bar parlor of the Spot­
ted Dog. The subject was the rise
tn the price of beer, and the man
who had his glass of elder said
It was the very best tax be had ever
known.
“Since the rise In the price of beer
I have not drunk any at all. and the
money I have saved has put me on
tny feet—yes. fairly put me on ray
feet." replied the gargler of apple­
juice.
"Well," said the landlord, “come to
think o' that, it's put me on my feet
too—for since this 'ere bloomin* tax 'as
come Into operation. I've 'ad to sell
my 'orse an' trap I"—British Farm and
Horae.
Te Do Away With “Rush Hour."
In order to prevent the rush of
workers the British board of trade
tramways committee suggests that In­
dustrial concerns should “stagger"
their times of opening and closing. Ry
taking on and discharging work peo­
ple st Intervals of ten minutes or sc
the cars could be worked more eco­
nomically and there would be a con­
tinuous stream of passengers. Instead
of the present rush at certain hours.
nas Gift Linens
^¿Arrived this Week and are now on Display in Windows and Department.
N view of the unprecedented shortage of Linens this showing of Gift Linens is indeed
an event of great importance to those who contemplate presenting gifts of this nature
this Xmas. Certainly no gift meets more fully the government’s request to give only
useful articles, and, in view of the great scarcity of this class of Merchandise Gifts of Linens
will sure to be appreciated very much.

Quantities are limited and we urge you to eelect the articles you desire at the earliest
possible moment. Short descriptions follow: —
Pittsburgh.
In the exhibit, which was arranged
Under the direction of B. L. Ullman of
the State Classical association, is a
model of a bridge built over the Rhine
by Caesar. It was made from the de­
scription given by Caesar.
The bridge Is almost exactly like tfce
-temporary bridge the soldiers at
Plattsburg are now being taught to
make and on which they expect to
cross the Rhine as they go Into the do­
main of the kaiser.
The Roman ballista, used to throw
atones at the enemy. Is made exactly
on the same principle as the machine
used today to throw trench bombs.
Modern springs now take the place of
the twisted rawhide with which mo­
mentum was obtained by the Roman
machine. A model of the Roman bal­
lista Is in the exhibit.
On .he same principle Is the cata­
pult, used by the Romans to shoot ar­
rows. Several of the weapons used by
the Roman soldiers, including sword
and spear, forerunners of the bayonet,
are much like those used In the pres­
ent war. Models of all these are In
this exhibit. There are also models
of the Roman soldier and of the sol­
dier of today, both wearing headpieces
of metal much alike.
The boy who is reading Caesar can
tel! you that Reims, whose wonderful
cathedral has been destroyed by the
Germnns, was named from the Rami
tribe mentioned by Caesar and that
Boissons takes Its name from the Sues-
siones tribe, conquered by Caesar. The
Commentaries are full of names mnde
familiar by the war going on today
and the schoolboy reads with added
Interest how Caesar defeated Ariovls-
tns, king of the Germans, and won
other triumphs on the same battle
front as that of the allies today. The
wolf holes he describes are much like
the traps used to ensnare and bewilder
the enemy now.
Other articles in the exhibit made by
students show what a wealth of Ro­
man tradition has been handed down
to us. The Roman fasces, shown on
the new United States dime, is the
original of the mace, the symbol of
power, used by the speaker of the
house of representatives. The fasces.
In turn, had Its origin in the sticks
used by the Romans to flog offenders
and the ex used by them to cut off
the heads of the worst of them.
TILLAMOOK, ORE.
Genuine Imported Ch..
Over the same ground where Caesar
Sought nearly 2,000 years ago, and I
with many Implements of war remark­
ably like those used by his army, the
allies are fighting the Germans today,
•ays a writer in Pittsburgh Dis­
patch. The foe is the same in cruelty
and in overbearing nature, as any
school boy or girt who has read the
commentaries of the great Roman gen­
eral can tell you. How history repeats
itself and how important as well
as Interesting is the study of the
Latin language become since the war

classical exhibit In the University of
