The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1919-11-11

Homer is an epic poet and not a his
torian. so it is quite natural that he
should have exaggerated everything
with poetic license. Moreover. the
events which he describes are so mar
velous that many scholars have long
doubted the very existence of Troy
and have considered the city to be a
mere invention of the poets fancy. l
venture to hope that the civilized
world viii not only not be d~isappoint-
ed that the city of Priam has shown
itself to ne scarcely a twentieth part
as large as was to be expected from
the statements Of the Iliad, but that
on the contrary, it will accept with de-
light and enthusiasm the certainty
that IIium did really exist, that a
large portion of 1t has now been
brought to light and that Homer. even
although he exaggerates, nevertheless
sings of events that actually happened.

You May Bet on Il.

When you see a young man sitting
in the parlor with the ugliest four
year-old boy that ever frightened him
self in a mirror clambering over his
knees. Jerking his necktie out of place.
rufiing his shirt-front. pulling his hair.
kicking his shins, feeling in all his
pockets for coppers. while the unre-
sisting victim smiles all the time like
the cover of a comic paper, you may
safely say that the bowling boy has
a sister who Is in a room not 20 feet
away. and that the young man doesn't
go there just for the fun of playing
with her brother.
