AT last we are finding out who Caesar
was, it not what he is. A wag tells all
about the original Jacobs thus: Julius
Caesar-An ancient Roman of celebrity.
He advertised to the effect that he had
rather be first at Rome than second in a
small village. He was a man of great mus
cular strength. Upon one occasion he
threw an entire army across the Rubicon.
A general named Pompey met him in
what was called the "tented field," but
Pompey couldn't hold a Roman candle to
Julius. We are assured upon the authoaity
of Patrick Henry that " Caesar hadhis
Brutus." The unbiased reader ry,
however will conclude that on con
trary, Brutus rather had Caesar.
