chauffeur can proceed no further.
To obtain a certificate each Would-be
chauffeur must undergo examination by an

must take the examiner out for a ride and

Will you tell something of the Trojan
war and the causes leading up to il? Also
something about Paris and the god Jupi-
ter?-D.
Paris, a son of Priam. King of Troy, car
ried off Helen. wife of Menelaus, King of
Sparta, and war resulted. Troy was be-
sieged for ten years and finally destroyed,
though the Trojan kingdom seems TO have
continued for several centuries thereafter.
Paris was described by Homer as shrewd
and cowardly. In art he is shown as youth
full, handsome and effeminate. In the siege
he was wounded by a poisoned arrow and
died before Troy was taken. In Roman
mythology Jupiter was the supreme god
Of heaven, and he was worshiped under
several names, that placed him as the god
Of thunder. rain and other natural phe-
nomena. Then he was taken as the espe-
cial protector of the laws Of hospitality
and of good faith between individuals and
nations. To these various Jupiters was
credited the manifestation of much power.
and in time this god was considered the
supreme guardian of The state.

late Maurice Thompson-M. G..
He was born in Fairfield. Ind. Sent o

Kentucky and Georgia. and during the civil
war he served in the Confederate army At
the close of the war he returned IN In
diana, settling at Charlottesville. where he
engaged alternately in the practice of law
and civil engineering. For four years
he. served as state geologist. Dur
ing all these years he had done more
or less writing and had established
a reputation as poet and essa yfst. In
1890 he joined the editorial staff of the
