In passing through this country, we wiil s-jo the familiar sight of cotton, tobacco, rice land su-?ur fields. Tho flowers and UkCH will also bo futuibar to u?, Uiuk far oil our Journey At New Orleans wn will crois the Mississippi Klver, which is one of the moat interesting oxprricno"s on vur wt>v. We will then go to llous ton, Texas, and from here to El Paso. Now- the scenery will be quite different, for we will go through the plai?9 and deserts of the W?at, of which we have heard so much about. Wo cau never forget ibo sight of the rolling plains of rich grain after we have onca seen them. Iu the West the great industry is ranching. Tho grandest part of our trip is the eroaatng of the- Rocky Mountains, for here we will^ee the tall cliffs with the rivers dashing over the rocks to the valleys below, forming the beautiful and pictu resque scenes wTiielfejjKkldng to these mountains. , The tree! And flowers of the mountains are very beautiful. Oar next beautiful soene will be the s'gbt of the oraug* grove* Of Qali fornia. The plaoe of our destination is Los Angeles, on the Southern coast of California. The most im portant industries of California are mining and fruit raising. Tho de? lightful climate and the beautiful scenery is what tyckes Cainoriiia bo attractive to strangers. Elizabeth Rives Ling. ? Age 14 ? Grade 8. A.N EPISOD FROM HISTORY. ??The Siege of Troy.'! The sipffe of Troy lasted ten years, from 1184 to 1194 B. 0. It was oanaed by a'very dlflflracefol ack on thfc part of Paris, one of the sons of Priamr k?n# of Troy. He went on a visit to (Greece, and while there opent a part of his time with Mene laus. "While there he fell in Jovo with Helen, wife of Menelaue, and when he left ho took her with him to Troy. ,_<> Although the Fp*rtan? hated Athens, this act aroused such anger towards lVria, that they- aloaoatfor got thHr hatred for A thong. Mnne. lans asked the? for men to help him whiQh they immediately sent him When all the forces were gathered together, they were pnt under the leQ^ership of Agamennon, ^chillcs, Ulysses. Patroclus and the aged Neator for counsellor. A e h ? 1 1 es fought bfAvely at first, hut after wards he sulked tn his tent because Agamemnon bad taken from bim a fair-foecd maiden, named Briseis, whom he had captured. Not until Hector, another son of Priam had killed his friend P*tro o)i>9. did ho come out Then he challenged hlro to eorao out and fight with him. ? Hector -was killecr and, fastening bis body to his chariot, Achilles dragged him round and round the walls of the city. % The Oreeians thought that there was no chance of taking Troy ex cept through stratagem. The "craf ty XTlysse*" devised a plan which proved successful. It wu the time, of tlie year 1oc ?ahlng..oflierlpge to AU*D*.
