WORLDS CITIES HARD TO KILL.
Home Twice Burned, Six Times
Starved-Paris' Eight Sieges.

Few OF the worlds great cities have
not faced, at one time or another. to
tai destruction. But a city 10 hard to
kill.
Take Rome, for instance. She has
been swept by pestilence no fewer
than ten times. She has been twice
burned and six times driven to submis-
sion by starvation. Perhaps 1t Is on
account Of her great vitality that she
is called the Eternal city.
Paris has gone through eight sieges,
ten famines, two plaques and one fire
which devastated 1t.
Constantinople has been burned out
nine timos and has suffered from four
plaques and FIVE sieges. In addition,
she has been ruled by monarchs who
were worse than a plague. Yet Con-
stantinople still flourishes.
London has been decimated Ave
times by plaques, in addition to vista
tions of typhus, cholera and other cpl.
denies. She has been burned more or
less severely several times.-Stray
