"PARAGRAPHICALLY SPEAKING'*
By Ralph E. Shannon, Trade Analyst, Publ isher of the Journa l , Washington, Iowa.
We have always noticed when business sails along sinooinlv, merchants everywhere are prone to advertise. But when the going gets rough, most business men tighten up on the publicity.
If there ever has been a time fo r construc-tive advertising, it's right now. Economy is the watchword, certainly. But when your car hits the mini road, it is no economy to shut oil' tlie gas.
You will note we say "constructive" ad-vertising. We had a long talk with a cer-tain business man the other day who spent $3,500 for advertising in 1030. That is, h( called it advertising.
BELONGS TO THE FARMER
The small town belongs to the farmer . It exists mainly, if not entirely to serve him. It is the place he goes for a loaf of bread or a loan at the bank. It is there, usually, that he attends a lodge meeting or a chicken pie supper. If the farmer never wanted a loaf of bread or a chicken pie supper there would not be any town. There might be a filling station and a hot dog stand for the conven-ience of travelers, but it would not be a town. Time was, in the days of mud roads and plow-horse travel that we were more or less bound to the small village nearby. Now we can lake it or leave it. If we choose, we can truck our grain and stock to a city, and we can go to the city for our clothes, food and entertainment. We hold the power of life and death over the little local town. If we neglect it, it must surely starve to death, for il has no means of self-support. A few small towns have so died, but that most of them remain show we still want them. We may pretend to think lightly of that town but still we want a location for our churches, lodges and high schools. We still want a place close at hand where we can find a doctor, druggist, a veterinarian, a ball of twine or a plowshare. The sort of mer-chants we find in our town are the sort we support with our patronage. If we make a policy of dealing only with the man who carries a goodly assortment of dependable articles he will stay in business and prosper, and as he prospers he will naturally offer belter assortments and better sen ice . So with the kind of lawyers, of doctors and den-tists. In a city farmers may not have much influence on ihe character of business and professional men, but in the little town pat-ronage is the confronting influence. The little town is more than a convenience for buying every day supplies. It is more than a first-aid station in case of a broken leg or a broken binder. It is the community cen-ter where social life of the fa rm people finds its most natural and most potent expression. The casual contacts of people mingling with one another as they go about their errands are what bind a community with a character all its own. Quite apart f rom any formal organization, the community spirit that cen-ters in the farmers ' town is the fundamental unit in agricultural life of our country. Our little town represents us as do our red barns and tall silos. It is our responsibility and our opportunity. We can select its business and professional people almost as we cull our flocks and herds, retaining those we want and eliminating those who do not measure up to our standards. We can in-fluence its citizenship by choosing the door-ways we enter and the counters over which we buy our goods. The little town is ours and it will be what we make it.
EDUCATION
Education is of various kinds and may be acquired in various ways. The usual way of acquiring an education, of course, is to at-tend school and af terward some college, but this is not the only way.
In fact, school and college are the lazy man's method of instruction—if one has sufficient ambition—enough gumption—he can educate himself. Some of the best ed-ucated men in the history of our country never attended college, and some of them did not even "enjoy" a common school edu-cation. Abraham Lincoln, fo r example, never even passed through what is known as the eighth grade—did not even learn all, or much, in fact, of what the ordinary country school had to offer him in a day when the country school in this country was at its worst. Yet Mr. Lincoln was a statesman and a scholar, whom no man would think of classifying as uneducated.
The easy way to acquire an education is to go to college, but if one has ambition, a col-lege is not essential. Probably a hundred men who have made their mark in American history never saw the inside of a college, un-less it were to be invited in and have college honors bestowed upon them for their achievements in education or in other lines.
Colleges nowadays are recognizing and are conferring degrees on men who have not attended college, but who have learned by experience many things not necessarily iii the college course, but which even the col-leges are recognizing now us being equiva-lent to the things taught, although these things may be of a totally different charac-ter. Colleges are thus admitting, by the conferr ing of these honors, that an educat-ed man is an educated man, whether he has ever been to college or not, and is entitled to the credit actually due him.
Thus it is clear that no young man without Ihe funds to attend college need despair of becoming educated. His ambition—if he h a ^ any—can take the place of the dollars which are not in his pocket, and he may have his valued education just the same, pro-vided he is willing to work fo r it. Money fo r a college course is very desirable, but is in no sense essential.
Hut when he submitted his figures, we found that $1,100 had been invested in trad-ing stamps and $300 in program space and other miscellany that should have been charged to "donations."
An advertising budget should not be load-ed with special discounts and contributions. That business man invested only $1.00 in constructive advertising, as we view the mat-ter, and |1,800 was none too much in his particular case.
Another form of advertising waste is the haphazard, spasmodic schedule. In the paper this week, out the next. A big splurge today, then silence fo r three months. That kind of advertising has never paid anybody.
The steady pull, concentrating Ihe plan around one central idea, is the publicity pre-scription that brings home the bacon.
And when we mention "central idea." we are ready to argue with you that an idea is much more important than the merchandise you are selling.
Let's consider the lumber business for ex-ample. As a lumberman you might pos-sibly be able to interest us in remodeling our home, but not in a thousand years could you make us want to buy shingles and two-by-fours.
We asked a carpenter the other day how many new houses would be built in our town in 1931. He answered, "Not more than one or two, and maybe not that many." And when we asked him why, he said. "We have more houses now than we need."
Which is correct, such as they are. But come into our town and try to rent a modern home. It can't be done.
Certainly the stage seems to be all set for a campaign on modernization. And that campaign should be shared in by all the lumbermen, the furni ture man, the electric-ian, and every other line in town, because all would benefit.
All that vast field is wide open, and yet we find lumbermen still selling lumber, furni-ture men still selling furni ture, and clothing men selling clothes. And what is still worse, newspapermen selling ads!
Let's all face about, what do you say, and sell IDEAS, exclusively.

A Word to Lowell Business Men
There it no medium or method
that can be compared to the effic-
iency of The Ledger in reaching the
lubitant ia l buyers of this trading
area.
The Ledger goes to a big expense
every i n u e in publishing the news
of Lowell and surrounding town-
shipi. This means bonafide circu-
lation and that is what the mer-
chant is entit led to when he buys
space for his store's announcements.

Chapter III.
• It was not until we had reached the Baptist church that mother alloweil the mare to go faster Hum her spritely walk. She had kept up a constant talking to her in a quiet soothing tone and now that the road ahead was clear she let the mare assume her nat-ural t rot t ing stride, only curb ing her by Ihe most gentle t ightening of rein and by word of mouth.
On Ihe corner by the new Melbodist church was a group of boys—one rather tall ami dark, who in a f te r years was destined to perfect the tele-phono in general use by the Bell Telephone Co., up to Ihe birth of Ihe present automatic . On beyond at Ihe foot of Peck's hill, coming f rom the river was another group a little older, one of whom as years nassed invent-ed the Burroughs adding machine.
F a r t h e r on we passed a man on foot, fol lowing the by-path, ra th-er small of stature, his light red-brown hair hanging to his shoul-ders in waves. Mis name was M. B. Kerekes, a carr iage pa in te r ,
Ihe guit ter he had become well along in years , il was brought out that he had been a Hungar ian patriot , at one t ime pr iva te secre tary lo Louis Kossuth, fleeing f rom his mother country an 'exi ie .
As we turned north on thc county line road , -we met a one-lorse wagon loaded with br ick, ust tu rn ing into thc road f rom Helmer's b r ickyard . On the wagon beside the dr iver sat a youngster of my age. Bed hair , stub nose, freckled faced Peddy Graham, one of the most famous present day architects, senior member of the firm of Graiham. Anderson and Probst, designer of the $25,000,000 postofUce building now under construct ion in Chi-cago. Strange how one UUle incident of minor importance sometimes shapes the destiny of one's life.
Ernest Graham was one of five of us boys who were suspended from school at thc same time. It was necessary to go to the mod-erator , which ofllce on the school board was held by Robert Gra-ham. Ernest ' s father , and offer an apology for our refract ion, which of course would be accepted wi th a lecture, and then we w e r e granted permission lo re turn to school. Four of us re turned , but Mr. Graham being a brick layer by t rade seemed to think Ernest should learn to lay br ick, and as he was then buikiing the three-s tory block adjoining the s tore now occupied by R. I). Stock-ing, he placed his son under the supervision of Vet Brower , who was in charge, and Ernest s tar ted on a career that has led to some of the greatest construct ion in America. When he was up on that wall the rest of the bunch would file down from school and stand there on the walk yelling "mor t l " "anortI" (The cry of the mason to Ihe hod ca r r ie r for more mor tar . ) Peddy would grin that helpless grin of his ; but he kept right on laying brick.
Up hill and down dale the winding sand track led; oak grubs and hazel brushes swish ing our faces and the side of the buck-board . The black mare, full of l ife and energy, had been given a f ree rein and with the air full of smoke from Ihe many forest fires in the north, by the t ime we reached the turn on what is now MMMi she had spent some of he r ambit ion. As we turned, west a flash of l ightning warned of the approach of a storm. It had been very dry all that season and to al-most every one the increasing peals of thunder and flashes of l ightning were a welcome omen. Mother was looking anxiously at the fast approaching storm clouds and for thc first time urged the b l a c k mare on. We turned to the r ight on thc road high
above the r iver and skir t -the hillside down to the
fo rd Just as the s torm broke. As we came to a stop at the wate r ' s edge she climbed down and went to the mare ' s head, released the check rein and a f t e r s t roking her face and talkint* quiet ly fo r a moment, she took f rom her pocket ano the r lump of sugar which seemed to convey that fear less confidence so much desired at that t ime. As she stood the re talking quietly to the mare , she had taken off h e r hoops and
gathered her skir ts about her waist which she fastened and with the caution to me lo "hang on tight," she took the mare by the bit and we started across the river, slowly, all Ihe while nett ing Ihe mare 's nose and talking to quiot her. The thunder was peal-ing and roll ing and the lightning was shooting across the sky, fork-ing and Hashing, but Ihe rain was spasmodic with the wind coming in more and more f requent gusts. Slowly she led the mare, now in Ihe water to her knees, then through a hole where she would slop and feel with h e r fool for a shal low passage. When half w a y over s h e again s t o p p e d and brought out an-other lump of sugar , and as she walled for a moment af ter , the mare stretched out her neck and drank. From then on the t r ip was continuous, the buck-board came up into the road and af te r adjust-ing her skir ts mother climbed In and In a short time we were at our destination.
Henry Richards and his fa ther had just finished Ihe chores and were on their way from Ihe barn with milk pails in each hand as we drove in In the yard. George Richards sat his pails on Ihe ground and hurr ied to where mother was tying the mare to a hi tching post, as Ellen came f rom her kitchen, both asking excited-ly what had happened to b r ing us there at that hour . In as few-words as possible, a f te r enter ing the house, she told them and be-
uniuivi , l w e e n s o , w ' 5 h t ' n s k t ' ( , r o r Henry and an artist with the guitar. Af- J u » t " he entered the room. Ellen,
dry-eyed, stood with he r hand rest ing on the back of a chair , he r face white and s tar ing apparent -ly inlo space. Henry 's fa ther dropped intp a cha i r and steadily stroked his beard. Henry came over to mother and as had a lways been his custom kissed her and asked her what had happened? She placed both hands on his shoulders and in a broken voice said: "Henry , look Aunt Jane straight in the eyes, tell me t ru th-fully, did you take anybody 's horses, or know about anybody stealing any horses in Kansas'? Don't answer me, Henry, unless it is with the whole t ru th . I knww you didn' t , Henry, but you must tell me so."
Henry 's mother came f o r w a r d , her face white, and placing he r arm about her son 's neck she laid her cheek against his and said in a low dull tone of voice, "Dearie ,
ou have a lways said that you lave never told me a lie. Tell us
the t ruth, Henry dear, if you n e v e r do again, tell us ." It was too much fo r her and Henry caught hor in his a rms as his father jumped up f rom his chair . They placed her on a couch and in a shor t time with mother working over her she re-vived. Until then mother 's ques-tion had remained unanswered , but Henrv now taking his moth-er's hand he placed it over his heart and kneeling beside the couch he raised his right hand and said, "Mommee, in your presence, before fa ther . Aunt Jane and God, 1 swea r I know nothing of what you arc t a l k i n g about.
In a low voice mother then told him of all thc c i rcumstances lead-ing up to our trip, and urged him to make haste in gelling together his necessary belongings, all the l ime trying to think- of just the place for him lo hide out whi le the search was on. Without notice
Henry ' s exile only lasted about ten days, when a wire to the deputy sherifT announced the re-covery of the stolen horses in Kansas and the capture of thc cul-prit.
D u r i n s Henry ' s isolation Frank who had learned to make as well as take "pract ical jokes" got a great kick out of telling him about what big r ewards were olTered for his cap ture and it was onlv a f te r Henry's fa ther had been over one nighl that the tables were turned. Then Henry told Frank that he didn' t realize that he was liable to be arrested and sent lo prison if it ever became known that he had harbored a fugitive, and so went the battle of wits.
In those days there lived in that neighborhood several fami-lies where gathered at times in-terested f r iends to participate in spiritualistic seances; frequently, noted mediums w-ould come, and there would be quite large meet-ings. B. N. Goodsell was quite a leader and as Frank Gell's shop was quite a hangout , many ex-periences were there recited. Frank was invited on many oc-casions, but had never attended until one day a medium arr ived and Frank ' s f r iends urqed him to at tend. He consented ami when evening came Mr. Good-s e l l slopped and Frank ac-companied him lo the meeting. It was all s t range to Frank and his unders tanding of language and customs was none too keen. Afler several demonstra t ions by 'the medium. F rank was asked if he wished to converse with any of his depar ted friends, and he de-cided to talk with his father. Final ly the contact was made and through the medium he asked various quest ions and then he in-quired about how- his fa ther 's bad leg was gett ing along, to which he was informed that all ills and troubles left when he departed from this life. Frank jumped up and exclaimed, "Is't ' ter 'ol man t ed?" to which he was answered by a defensive question, "Why yes, isn't h e ? " "Vel he didn't vas der last ledder 1 ged from 'em!"
Mother's wet skirls, shoes and stockings w e r e replaced by some belonging, to Ellen, and the storm had proved a mere gesture as we started on our homeward journey through Fal lasburg and by the way of the Keenc church, thus avoiding Ihe ford. (.See foot note.)
Thc black m a r e seemed to have spent some of her energy and was satisfied lo take a steady gait all the way to the village. Nearly a mile nor th on the county line road we met fa ther with the barn man. He got into the buck-board with us and told mother that the sheriffs wouldn ' t be going out lo the Richard 's fa rm until next day, as some of Ihe "boys" had called an jmpromptu political meeting lo which b o t h w e r e invited, and that the officers were , when he left , being taken the rounds of the saloons and introduced to the infiuental polit icians of the village.
It was a f t e r eleven o'clock when we drove in and found much exci tement over the news of thc b u r n i n g of the city of Chi-cago.

Remember When I was born and raised in Ver-
genne.s. My parents were Ches-ter and J ane H. Church. I at-tended school in a little red school house •% of a mile east. Just a na r row wagon road with trees and brush right up to the track. I have seen wild deer and at one time saw two bear in the woods, not very far f rom our house. Indians were of ten at our place. La te r I have seen a long s tr ing of Indians with their pontes loaded wi th baskets of all sizes, coming down the road, one behind the other in true Indian file, to t rade baskets for flour, pork or corn . They never asked you to buy—it w a s always "how swap um."
Lowell was a very small.village at that time, but it was our t rad-ing place, as Ihere was no other place neare r than Ionia or Grand Rapids. 1 have crossed thc old covered "Bisbie br idge" and sometimes forded Flat r iver litlle nor th of the village.
I have seen the forest disap-pear and fine homes with or-chards and fields of grain take their place, also the old trails or wagon roads that were almost or quite impassable al times give way to the good roads. I have seen the village nearly wiped out by fire and fiood, but it has come up again each time more sub-stantial and more beautiful than before.
1 remember the Kopf fu rn i tu re store, also their factory soulM of Grand r iver . Am still using a set of chai rs bought f rom their s tore in 1872, that have been in use every day since and are en-tirely good yet.
I have seen Flat r iver full of
Eine logs f rom the nor thern lum-er camps and the saw mill Just
north of Main slreet . I remem-ber w h e n the whistles on the mills and factor ies used to call the men to work . Lowell vil lage w a s surely a lively town at that l ime and is now one of the prettiest , if not the most beauti-ful of any village in the state.

MELODY FARMS DAIRY Grade "A" Milk
Is the BEST FOOD for Growing
Children . . and Even for Adults!
\ n d POUND for POUND, I t Is BY FAR t h e
Lowest Priced Food You Can Buy, When You
T a k e 44Food Value'* I n t o Cons idera t ion
There is no better food in the world for growing chi ldren or fo r adults than CLEAN, pure, wholesome milk. It contains just the elements that the human body demands. You will find that ch i ldren will be a whole lot bet ter off if pies and pastries are omitted f rom their diet, and a glass or two of clean, pure milk subst i tuted at each meal. They wil l enjoy better heal th, will develop a bet-ter physical foundat ion , and you'll find that there will be a big saving in doctor 's bills. Just try it out and see.
. ng be CLEAN, because ord inary milk is a recog-nized car r ie r of germs. Here is whe re Mel-ody Farms Dairy can be of great help to you, by providing milk that is just as CLEAN as any milk produced in Michigan, as proven by ACTUAL TEST by State Inspectors. Melody Fa rms Dairv has fully met EVERY RE-QUIREMENT demanded by the state l a the production of clean, wholesome milk, and is legally PERMITTED TO SELL GRADE "A" MILK.
As A Mother, You Feel That There Is
Nothing Too Good For Your Children! You are careful to see that every part icle
of food is made SAFE before it passes their lips. You see that vegetables a re thoroughly cooked; you remove the protective covering f rom f ru i t s ; nuts a r e shelled; you know that the dr inking wa te r is safe.
Inasmuch as IMPURE MILK has doubtless been the source of as many serious epidemics of disease as any o the r one cause, there is every reason WHY you should exercise d u e -
caution in selecting the milk you use in your o w n home. Especially in these hot months you should be careful of the milk you use, because bacteria multiply very rapidly in warm milk.
We always wil l recommend Melody F a r m s Dairy Grade "A" Milk, because of its safety, as shown by actual TESTS made by Michigan State Inspectors .
Delivered in the early m o r n i n g , f r e sh and cool

LA BARGE R I P P L E S
In line with tbe greatly broad
ened oudook this year of the Mich'
Igan State Fair and Exposition, now
the official t i t le of the annual s ta te
exbibition, efforts directed toward a
pronounced revival of in teres t a m o ii g representa t ive livestock breeders and exhibitors promise a wider range of entr ies than ever be-fore achieved.
Outs tanding business and indus-tr ial leaders of Detroit having aligned themselves solidly behind the whole fa i r project, which has been enlarged to embrace a fascl nating display of Michigan's fore-most manufactured products, a min-imum a t tendance of half a million Is now assured.
Plans for tbe 82nd anniversary ot t h e s ta te f a i r to be hel4 S e p t 6 to 12. Inclusive, offer so much ot In-te res t to every visitor, whether f rom the city or fa rming com munity, man or woman, boy or girl, t h a t t he event really will const i tute more than two score shows com bined in one huge enterprise .
With the working model of Mich' igan Industries, more comprehea slve livestock exhibits, special a t t ract ions galore and a premium list tha t to ta ls $96,924, there is every reason to believe, according to Secretary John L. McNamara, tha t the 1931 fa i r will set a high wate r mark of success.
Conferences already h e l d by mombers of the fair board, associ-ations of s tockmen and members of the advisory group augur well not only for finer exhibits this fall but Important s tr ides in years to come.

boom, confi-
dence makes the great ma-jority mlns the t u r n In a boom, and un-der- confidence makes t h e m miss It In a depression. A leading N e w Y o r k banker when asked re-cently when he could tell that a turn for the
better had come. said. "About three months a f t e r It has happened."
There Is more significance In that remark than appears on the sur-face. As more and more manufac-turers and business men real l ie that the turn has already come and that they a re over-staying the time to adopt construct ive policies, they begin cautiously to press their Hell-ing campaigns, to speed up their production, to enlarge their work-ing forces and increase their com mltments for supplies. It is tbe Fathering weight of their influences that finally ra ises tbe pressure of confidence.
The sures t way to bring the na-tion out of the business depression Is to raise the pressure of public confidence to the point ot becom-ing a real dynamic force. It has invariably been the push of that force which has started recovery in the past, and It is the gather ing power of this force which will s t a r t recovery f rom this depression.
It is a favorable sign of the times that there seems to be gen-
1 eral agreement that the bottom j of the depression has been reached | and all eyes are peeled and look-1 ing ahead for the first indications , that the turn for the better is In
sight. Who knows but what the first thing we know we will find ourselves looking backward instead of forward as we realize that the turn has a l r - ady come.

powers to national banks should cross s t a t e lines, or exceed the priv-ileges tha t s ta te legislatures could and would grant to s ta te banks.
"Moreover we believe t ha t If the choice between these two possible courses of extending branch bank-ing were put up to bankers they would be generally opposed to Any forcible Imposition of branch bank-ing on the s ta tes through the m e dlum of the national bank system. We believe it would be preferable for any change to come about through the more gradual and democrat ic method of tbe s ta tes gran t ing their banks branch bank-ing powers state-by s ta te where.

HOUSEHOLD BUDGETING
0M ; of tin* Hlmplot ways of car-rying out a household budpet
Is by means of what most hMW* wivfg call a house jiurse; and some sort of purse In which a stipulated amount of money was placed for every day's or every weeks ex-penses was often used before the present vogue for budgeting began.
One way of going about it Is to have a purse containing several sec-tions. with money In each. When any is spent for food it comes from one section, money spent for house-bold supplies such as soup, kitchen ntenKlls. dish cloths, etc., which should be considered as part of op-era t ing expenses, comes from an-other section, while money spent for sewing materials comes from •nn the r section.
Another way to go about It is to make a practice of putt ing a lit-t le slip of paper in the purse when-ever money Is spent. Indicating the tmOttDt and purpose. So. If you
S U P E R S T I T I O U S
SHE HAS HEARD THAT—
If you find a h o r s e s h o e a n d t h e p r o n g s a r « po in t ing y o u r w a y , g r a b It up, k id . f o r it will b r i ng you luck — b u t If th# t o e is t o w a r d you, t h a t
have put jl.'i In the purse on Mon- 1 means bad luck and nothing else day you can balance accounts on | but . Saturday by listing these slips, add-ing the total figure to the amount of money that remains and making sure tha t this equals the amount put Into the purse on Monday. This Is a primitive sort of cash regis-ter arrangement that is simpler to manage fo r many housewives than keeping accounts in a book every day.
The house purse often proves very useful when a number of young women keep house together sharing the e x p e n d s of the house-keeping. Every pay day each mem-ber of the group Hits or So or j more in the purse from which ail payments of a community sort a r e made. Even If the account keep-ing ends here there is no danger of anyone being cheated, and so lone as every one antes up promptly when the purse is bare, there Is no need of any sort of bookkeeping.

C H I L D R E N CRY FOR IT—
^ H I L D R E I N ha le t o t ake medicine
^ as a rule, but every child loves the tas te of Castoria. And this pure vegetable preparat ion is jus t as good
as it tastes; jus t as bland and just as harmless as the recipe reads.
When Baby ' s cry warns of colic,
a few drops of Castoria has him soothed, asleep again in a jiffy. Noth-
ing is more valuable in diarrhea. When coated tongue or bad breath tell of constipation, invoke its gentle
aid to cleanse and regulate a child's bowels. In colds or children's diseases,
you should use it to keep tbe s y s t e q from clogging.
Castoria is sold in every drugstore! the genuine always bears Chas. H) Fletcher's signature.

T h e D e a t h of C leopatra
ASK the average perHon how Cleopatra, qoeeo of Egypt und
supervamplre of the Nile, came lo her death, and, basing their reply upon the statements found In the usual history and the filmed ver-alons of the career of the Egyptian princess, they will answer : "She committed suicide by permitt ing an asp to utlng her."
But put the same question to Plu-tarch. master historian of his time and admitted expert upon nmtters connected with the history of Home and Its nelghorlng nations, and the answer will he found upon the pnges of his history: "What real-ly took place Is known to no one."
There, summed up In a sentence. Is the truth about the death of Cleopatra, so far as It has been definitely and authentically asc-r-talned op to the present time. In fact It la susceptible of being boiled down Into two words—"No-body knows"—with the addition of the sUtement that It Is extremely doubtful If anyone ever will know, unless the sphinx gives up Us se-crets or some hidden recess of the pyramids Is uncovered which con-ta ins the truth about the final days of her who was called the moat beautiful of queens, but who was described by Plutarch In the fol-lowing words :
"Her actual beauty, tt Is said, was not In Itself so remarkable that none could be compared with her or that no one could see her with-out being struck by It, but t he con-tact of her presence. If you lived with her, was Irresistible. The at-t ract ion of her person joining with the charm of her conversation and the character that attended all she said and did, was something be-witching. It was n pleasure merely to hear the sound of her voice, with which, like an Instrument of many strings, she could pans from one language to another, so that there were few even among the barbarian nations that she an-swered through an Interpreter."
Bom In Alexandria, In B. C. 00. Cleopatra shared the dominion over Egypt with her brother Ptole-my when she was only eighteen, but, some three years later, she was dethroned by those who adhered to her brother 's s tandard. About this t ime Julius Caesar arrived in Egypt and fell victim to the charms of the siren queen, assisting her to regain her throne and she. In turn, presented him with a son. Cnesa-rlon, born during her stay In Rome where she remained until Caesar 's assassination In the senate, when she returned to Egypt.
About three years later another noble Roman cast his shadow across the career of the beautiful Egyptian—this t ime the handsome Mark Anthony, friend of the mur^ dered Caesar and newly appointed ruler of Asia and the Bast. Sum-moned before Anthony on a charge of having given assistance to his enemies. Cleopatra, according to the description which Plutarch gives, "came sailing to him In a barge with gUded stern and out-spread sails of purple, while oars of sliver beat t ime to the music of Antes and fifes and harps. She herself lav all alone under a can-opy of cloth of gold, dressed as Venus In a picture, and beautiful young boys, like painted cuplds, stood on each side to fan her. Her maids were dressed like sea nymphs and graces, some steering at the rudder, some working at the | ropes."
As a result, the positions of cap-tor and captive were reversed for, as Plutarch continues, "Were An-thony serious or disposed to mirth, Cleopatra had at any mo-ment some new delight or charm to meet his wishes; at every turn she was upon him and let him es-cape her nei ther by day nor by n i g h t She played at dice with him, drank with him, hunted with him and, when he exercised In arms, she was there to see."
Anthony's divorce of his wife, s is ter to the Emperor Augustus, which followed his Infatuation fo r the Egyptian cbarmer, led to war between his forces and the Romans and to Anthony's suicide when he received a fa l se report of Cleo-pa t ra ' s death. This report, how-ever, was fa l se only with respect to time, for only a short time af t-erward tbe former queen of Egypt abut herself Inside the tomb of her Roman lover and when soldiers finally forced the doom they found her "lying upon a bed of gold, set out In all her royal ornaments, d e a d "
But how did she accomplish her death?
The most generally accepted story Is the account of the asp, which some say was smuggled to her In a basket of frui t , while oth-ers declare that the queen had pre-pared for Just such an emergency and bad kept an asp In a vase f o r months. But why an asp, a com-paratively large snake, when a small viper would have been qui te a s deadly? Why not poison, which would have left no marks upon the body which she loved so dearly?
Moreover, once more to quote Plutarch, " there were no marks or auspldon of poison on her body"— which appears to dispose of the asp theory—"and what really took place Is known to no one."
