And I'riam, who bore no jrrudee acalnst Helen for all the misery her fair face had brought to him and Troy for he paw the hands of the gods in it all called her to his Fide to tell him of the chiefs among whom fhe had once lived. Then those elders, who had long since ?een their fighting days, paid the finest compliment a woman's beauty has ever received how many thousand years ago as they saw Helen advancing. "No cause, for anger that Trojans and well-greaved Achaians for such a woman long time should suffer sorrow." Not another word! But thoe old men upon the wall have drawn for you and me a picture of the world's desire. "Rut even bo," they continued, "let her go home upon the ships and stay not as a source of sorrow to us and to our children after us." The high hopes raised of settling all the troubles by the duel cf the champion were In vain. The contest was Inconclusive and tho truce was .broken. The scene changes to Troy Itself.

Of course, big manufacturers and other large consumers have always bought this way, but the man who buys only enough for his household is now in position to take adantage of the samp purchasing privileges. The well-known H EUNICE COAL CO., 550 Como Building. Chicago, is doing an enormous busi ness in supplying small consumers as well as the big ones with all grades of hard and soft coal at mine prices. That these customers are hlphly pleased Is evidenced by letters thej write after receiving and trying their coal. The following are extracts from several such letters: "Have found your coal entirely satisfactory and your dealings courteous and fair. I shall continue to buy my coal from you." Ed. d. Gereka. Purlingtor.. Ia. "More than pleased with it. Please quote me prices on same coal for December." Arthur Churchman. Alexandria. Ind. "Well pleased with it. Ivxpcct to buy more from you. Fritz Pres..
