ACHILLES. A courageous Greek, who did a general slaughtering
business in Troy in 1180 B. C., but was finally pinked in the heel--
his only vulnerable spot--and died.

Long life often depends on being well heeled.

ADONIS. A beautiful youth, beloved by Venus and killed by a boar.

Bores have been the death of us ever since.

BACCHUS. A brewer, who supplied the Gods with nectar, the beer
that made Olympus famous.

Those desiring a drink, please ask Dickens if "Bacchus is willin'."

CASTOR AND POLLOX. Two clever sports and twin brothers from
Greece, Castor being a horse-trainer and Pollux a pugilist, whose
sister, Helen, a respectable, married woman, disgraced the family
by eloping with Paris.

Just because a man can break a broncho or win a prize fight, it's
no sign he can manage a woman.

CERBERUS. A dog with three heads, a serpent's tail and several
snakes around his neck, who guarded the main entrance to Hades.

When a man begins to see snakes and one head looks like three, it's
a cinch he's not far from Hell.
