Discipline means two things, unquestioning
obedience by each man to his superior, and
the power of all to act together. A small
company of disciplined soldiers disperses a
huge mob because it is disciplined and the
mob is not. Not only was Alexander's
army sound and able, but he himself knew
how to handle it as a swordsman does his
blade.

from the actual fighting line, or he can not

Alexander kept on his course. He freed
all the Greek cities and overrun Asia
Minor. Then he marched to syria, where
he won the battle of Isgus from Darius,
and conducted the wonderful siege of
Tyre. From Syria he went to Egypt and
reduced that country. He then had pos

Alexander the Great had these three quail

ING king OF Macedon when only 20 years
old (B. G. 1867, had abundant opportunity
to use them. Alexander was carefully edu-
Gated. The philosopher Aristotle was his
master. He was fond of study and read
much. His favorits book, q copy OF the

Alexander began to ask them searching
questions about the and rivers

The young prince had that in him which
early commanded respect and obedience
from all about him. He and his father did
not always agree, for Philip had
divorced Alexander's mother and the
lad took his mothers part. As
monarch, ne was master from the start.
"Though the name has changed the king
remains!'' said he; and no one was ever
more truly a king. Alexander was brave
and strong as scarcely ever another lad has
been. When a mere youth, by mingled
oentleness and irmness, he subdued the
wonderful horse ~Buoephalus, whom one
could control, and at once mounted and
rode him. Bucephalus served his master
for many years, and died lin battle; but
never would allow any other to bestride
him. Alexander was able to endure heat
and cold, hunger and thirst, trial and IA
tigue, beyond the stoutest. His body was
iron. In all games, races and military ex-
~ercises he easily outdid the champions. His
endurance was endless. When ne pursued

of the Greek gods in Asia. Minor; they were
the hereditary foes of Hellas. The stories
of Persian atrocities had wrought up the
anger of Alexander. and from boyhood he
had determined to avenge the Greeks. His
father. Philip, had created the best army in
the then civilized world, and by it's means
had made himself autocrat of Hellas. When
Alexander became king he had first to
force from Greece the same right of con-
troll and then to put down the barbarians
surrounding his kingdom Of Macedon.
