[ | Julius Cuesar was standing on tho | front steps of the statehouse at Home idly watching a blue jay building its nest in a tall elm tree, when Brutus came sauntering along, l'rutus noticed that Caesar wore a worried look, and ! asked : " What's the matter, Julius?motherin-law ?" " Nix wife's mother," replied Caesar, " it's knockers." "Oh, shucks," said Brutus. "That's what," exclaimed Caesar, "I tell yon, Brute, that there isu't any place ou earth that has more knockers ban Rome. I'm next to a bunch big r t han a wolf." 'Oh, I don't know," remarked Bru .Sj in his non-committal way. "Oh, of course you don't know." Caesar went ou, " that this town is full of men who have their hammers out for me. You couldn't expect to hear of them, for you are my old college pal, and if they went to throwing the harpoon into nie while you were around you'd bat 'em in the block. -? *y know that, too. But I've been f -ering around a good deal of late, a. , find that there's several prominent u.and i | Senators, too, who would like to have! my liido nailed 011 their back fence. | Cassias is one of them, although lie don't think I'm onto his game.

I'm sure that tho president, vice-president and general grievance ' committee of tho Unrcformed Order of Knockers live right hero in Homo. You can chase around to the alley poolroom and lay your money 10 to 1, without the consent of any man on earth, that the I I best anvil chorus in the world is right : here in romo." Caesar looked down tho street and saw several men sneaking along hack of the First Baptist church. " There goes Cassius and a bunch of i Senators?a nice carload of decayed : human fruit!

"Oh, 1 know you are no boo boo man," Brutus answered; "but I'm just giving you a tip. Those hot sandys of yours don't go with the push any more. The. othir night I .was over in the third ward and I heard several say that if you ever crossed the tracks you'd be ) carried homo in the county hospital ambulance." j "I was jast telling you that there was a big gathering of guys in this town who would like to see me in a ! stone box," said Caosav, "and I guess ! the third ward has its share.

" No, Julius," replied Brutus, " I put on my woolen underwear this luorninir. and"? "Drop ofT," said Caesar. "Woolens j ou a hot day like this? Why?" Caesar pot no further. Cassius and a ' number of Senators came running up and started a rough house. Caesar was game as a pebble, and he shot out his i bunches of fives for fair, but there wore ; too many?but at that he was holding his own. Then Brutus drew a razor from his boot leg and sprang into the fray. The others made a clear way for him. Caesar saiw the movement and, springing back, he exclaimed : "What ! are you, loo, feruiust me, 1 Brutus?" "I sure am !" cried Brutus; and he. 1 swung the razor and cut a gash three by six down the front of Caesar. Then Julius Cuesar was all in.? Judge.
