But, if a striking victory did not surrender Jugurtha into the hands of his conqueror and even the most glorious victory did not under the circumstances of the war imply the capture of the vanquished what means remained except negotiation and the voluntary surrender of the king? Such means had been employed by Bestia, and every one knew now with what result.
"You can't think I am serious when I call Montero a gran' bestia every second day in the Porvenir? That is not a serious occupation. No occupation is serious, not even when a bullet through the heart is the penalty of failure!" Her hand closed firmly on her fan. "Some reason, you understand, I mean some sense, may creep into thinking; some glimpse of truth.
And yet there were some who were very ready both to speak ill of Cicero, and to do him hurt for these actions; and they had for their leaders some of the magistrates of the ensuing year, as Caesar, who was one of the praetors, and Metellus and Bestia, the tribunes.
What of Bestia, who professes that he is a candidate for the consulship in the place of Brutus? May Jupiter avert from us this most detestable omen! But how absurd is it for a man to stand for the consulship who cannot be elected praetor! unless, indeed, he thinks his conviction may be taken as an equivalent to the praetorship.
The leader of the agitation was now invested with the tribunate, and his position gave him the opportunity of unfettered intercourse with the people. His Contiones were the feature of the day, and these popular addresses culminated in the exhortation which he addressed to the crowd after the return of the unhappy Bestia.

Easier than these and very stimulating are Dewey, Reconstruction in Philosophy, and Woodworth, Dynamic Psychology. Trotter, op. cit., p. 45. The first part of this little volume is excellent. Nous etions deja si vieux quand nous sommes nes. Simia quam similis, turpissima bestia, nobis?
Is it possible for there to be peace with Antonius? with Censorinus, and Ventidius, and Trebellius, and Bestia, and Nucula, and Munatius, and Lento, and Saxa? I have just mentioned a few names as a specimen; you yourselves see the countless numbers and savage nature of the rest of the host.
"Brutta bestia!" and she turned her back. The men laughed, and Rosina laughed with them as she knocked on a green painted door in the wall. It was opened by a burly, bearded man, tweed-clad, and swathed in a stained painting apron. "Oh, Professore, here is a friend of mine who wants work." "Come in," he said shortly, and they followed him into a large untidy studio.
The trick of the monkey using the cat's paw to roast a chestnut, is only a piece of shrewd malice in that turpissima bestia, which humbles us so sadly by its similarity to us. Man alone can dress a good dish; and every man whatever is more or less a cook, in seasoning what he himself eats. Your definition is good, said Mr.
