Played Chess on Plains Of Troy.

PIayeo Cness on rams OF Troy.
Chess is one Of the most ancient
pastimes known to mankind. One Of
the Greek legends ascribes its origin
to the epic siege Of Troy, 1900 B. c..
which is the subject Of Homer's uiad.
This weary siege was supposed t.
have lasted ten years. Long night
watches around the caInphres Of the
Greeks were necessary to guard
against surprise and night attacks.
To enllven these waste hours, Pala-
lmedes, one of the Greek host on alien
Trojan soil, invented various pastimes
for his cOuntrymen, whose spirits so
often tagged. Among these ne In
vented the noble game of chess, and
kings and castles, knights and pawns,
still move in illustration Of the great.
er game which was then being played
On the plains of Troy.

THE PAST AND PRESENT
CONDITION
(By P. Hammond Hall)

(By P. Hammond HalD
Wilson during his administration,
Firmly took his stand.
He said by ways and action
| am with the laboring man.
But when Mr.. Harding was elected,
To fill the Presidents seat
He said to Labor: you're rejected,
I'll have to get with Wall street."
End.
Then Labor said to Mr.. Harding,
"Why should you get with Wall
street?
Twas the laboring man that started
You on to the presidents seat.
Had it not been for Labor,
Today you would be on the rocks,
And the place you now hold
Would be filled by a man
By the name of Mr.. Cox"
3rd.
Harding said: ct was money
That caused me to retreat
knew that Labor financially,
With Wall street cannot compete"
Then Labor said: II am the strongest
No longer will l be made a tool
I'll show both Wall street and Harding
l am Labor, but am no Fool
4th
"You joined Wall street for money
Now Labor has struck for the same
Would it not seem little funny
If Labor would win the old game?
This country is upset all over
Railroaders and Miners are rough.
They'll show Mr.. Harding and others
They have already stood enough"
5th.
When Wilson was seeking his office
He being determined to win
He promised if he was elected
To stand by the laboring men.
This being a part of his platform,
That he kept from the start to end,
And at the end of his administration
He was still with the laboring men.
9th.
Harding said to the Wall street band:
"If Labor should happen to resist
Since l am in power to draft men to
work,
1 will stand by the Capitalist"
Labor said to Mr.. Harding:
eff I'm drafted I'll surely shirk,
1 am United Labor and will stand for
no man
To draft and compel me to work."
