that the rope held his teeth in a wise

The Fall of Troy-This Day, 1884 BIC.


1t is with pain not unmixed with
regret that the details of an old and
forgotten scandal are admitted to
the columns OF an otherwise family
paper, but there are times when
truth must be told regardless of the
feelings Of the Civic Federation and
the people who would muzzle the
press.
Some time ago the sporty King of
Troy went over to do politics and
have a little poker with Menelaus,
one OF the numerous and costly
Kings of Greece.
Mrs. Helen Menelaus was a pro-
fessional beauty and there were
more photographs of her sold than
of any other lady in the business.
The King of Troy was charmed.
1t was the old divorce court story.
One morning the papers came out
with scare heads announcing an
elopement in high life.
Out of consideration of the feel
ings of the lady it was called an sab
duction."
Menelaus called meeting of the
Amalgamated Union Of Greek Kings
and laid his domestic woes before
them.
The Union, after discussion, de-
cided that the King of Troy had
been guilty of conduct unbecoming
a minister and that Menelaus had
been insulted.
Moreover, "an injury to one is the
concern of all"
They agreed to avenge their bro
Their kings dishonor at the usual
rates.
So the Trojan war was COM
menced.
History states that it lasted ten
years, although there are some vete.
rams who still sit around and insist
that it ran forty years to finish.
The Greeks surrounded Troy and
besieged it all this time.
