Mistake the Trojans Made.

“The trouble at Troy,” said the pro* feasor, “appears to be that a feeling of inaction seemed to take possession of the Trojans.

What Is It, Mr. Blinghorn?” “As I understand It, sir,” said the brilliant young Junior, “Just as soon as they got tbo wooden horse inside all the Trojan women rushed away to get on their loveliest elothes, and all the men toddled off to get their tall hats and their Inverness overcoats.” “And why should tney do that?” cried the astonished professor. “Because they thought it was a horse show,” replied the bright youth. —Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
