Once upon a time in the days
Of the Greek gods and goddesses.
there once lived a young man by
the name of BelIerophon.
"Bellerophon was the son Of
Glaucus and grandson of Sissy
phus. who was king of Corinth.
"Now Beilerophon got into
serious trouble. He accidentally
killed one OF his relations. So,
naturally, to escape punishment,
he fled the country and landed in
Argos, where he was received
very kindly by the king.
but something happened ana
the king Of Argos became very
jealous of the young hero, 30 he
thought he would like to get rid
of him. What did he do but send
him to Jobates, the king Of the
Lycians, with sealed dispatches.
The king Of Argos in these dis
patches asked the king of the
Lycians to make away with him
that he felt that he would not
be quite hospitable il he did It
himself.
"But the king of the Lycians
felt that way, too. SO he thought
of a plan. He decided to send
Bellerophon on a dangerous mis-
sion.
"He told Bellerophon that he
wanted him to go out and slay
Chimaera "a terrible monster
which held the Lycians in terror.
"Of course, Bellerophon was
scared to death, SO he consulted
a soothsayer, who advised him, II
possible, to procure the winged
horse, Pegasus. To do this, he
directed him to go to the temple
of Minerva and spend the night
there.
This Bellerophon did, and the
goddess, Minerva, visited him in
a dream and gave him a golden
bride for Pegasus.

All Men of Unusual
Strength Are Samsons

The story of Sampson is found in
Judges IL and the three following
chapters. This man takes his place in
Scripture as judge or ruler, an office
which he filed for 90 years; as Naz-
arite, that is, one bound by VOW of a
peculiar kind to be set apart from 9TH
ers for the service of the Almighty.
The obligation was really for a def
mite time, and during that time the
Nazarite was bound to abstain from
wine and every production of the vine,
and from every kind of intoxicating
drink. He was forbidden to cut the
hair of his head, or to approach any
dead body. In the third place Sam
son appears as man endowed with
supernatural physical strength. 1t is
this latter quality that first comes to
ones mind when he is mentioned. and
1t is because of that wonderful quail
ity that any man of unusual strength
Is called q Samson. For instance. a
London carpenter, named Thomas
Topham, has been called 1.-THE British

In the presence of thousands of spec
tators Topham lifted three hogsheads
of water, weighing 1885 pounds. Top
ham was born in ITO, and died in

to suicide by domestic troubles.
