THE TOMB OF CYRUS.

rulers learned of generous treatment,
and others sought alliance with so Just
and powerful king. In most con-
querors courage, resolution, intrepid
ity, capacity for martial exploits, and
such talents as make a noise in the
world are usually the only ones found.
Combined with these characteristics
Cyrus had an inward stock of good
ness, compassion and gentleness to-
ward the unhappy; an air of modera-
ton and reserve even in prosperity
and victory; an insinuating and per-
suasive behavior. the art of gaining
peoples hearts and attaching them to
him more by affection than interest: a
constant and unalterable care to al
ways have justice on his side and to
imprint such character of Justice and
equity upon all his conduct as his very
enemies were forced to revere In the
exercise of clemency he seemed able to
distinguish those who offended through
imprudence rather than malice and al
ways left room for their repentance by
giving them an opportunity to return
to their duty.
The Fall of Babylon.
Before he was 80 Cyrus was at the
head Of the Persian troops, and from
that time until he assembled the throne
OF Persia he was engaged in many
wars of conquest, all of which proved
successful and added wealth, glory.
strength and territory to the empire
which he was founding and over which
he was to rule. His greatest military
achievement was in capturing the rich,
populous and strongly fortified city of
Babylon. Two hundred years before
Cyrus was born the prophet Isaiah
foretold the fall of Babylon and even
named its conqueror, Cyrus. With
great army of Modes and Persians Cy-
rus laid siege to the city, but it's strong
wall resisted the most furious and per-
sistent assaults, For two years the con-
test continued. Then Cyrus resorted to
one of the greatest feats of strategy re-
corded in the history of warfare. The
Euphrates river flowed through the
city. Cyrus determined to turn the
course of the stream and through the
bed of the channel rush his troops un-
der the walls and into the city. When
the artificial channel had been cut. he
waited until night when he knew the
Babylonians would be engaged in a
general feast. Then he diverted the
stream, his selected soldiers rushed

into the doomed city through the
drained channel, killed the unsuspect-
ing guards and opened the massive
gates to allow the entire Persian forces
to enter. The Babylonians resisted
desperately but were overpowered and
the city became tributary to the Per-
sian empire. Its King, Belshazzar, was
killed early in the conflict. The hand
writing on the wall had been portsn-
tous.
Death of Cyrus.
Cyrus reigned until 529 B. c., when
he died. Historians differ as to his
manner of death, but according to
Aenophon, the Greek historian, he died
natural death, surrounded by his
family and loved and esteemed by all
his subjects. Up to the fatal sickness
ne enjoyed vigorous health, due to hfs
temperate life Another version of his
death is that he was killed while en-
gagged in battle with the Massagetae.
nation in the north of Asia. the SOL
diers OF whom were led by their Queen,
Iomyris. She caused the head of Cy-
rus to be cut off and plunged into a
leathern bag filled with human blood,
saying, Though I am alive and have
conquered you, yet you have undone
me by taking my son. 1 will how
ever, satiate you with blood" This
speech shows the estimate of the char
acter OF the conqueror, whose work is
the same in all ages-the shedding of
human blood.
The Inscription on His Tomb.
The tomb of Cyrus was at Pasarga-
dae, near Persepolis. Here, 200 years
later, Alexander came, the next charac-
ter in history to be immortalized with
the title, "The Great" He ordered the
tomb to be opened, expecting to find
great treasures; but a rotten shield.
two Scythian bows and Persian cine
ter were the only riches. Within the
sepulchre was this inscription: 20
man, whoever thou art and whenceso-
ever thou contest, I am Cyrus, the
founder of the Persian empire; envy
me not the little earth that covers nv

great man, wise, moderate, courageous,
magnanimous, noble and daring, feared.
as men now fear, the envy of the world
and begged to be left alone with the
small piece of earth occupied by his re-
mains. Surely, death has no respect
for greatness.

Cyrus the Great.

OF these great characters Cyrus was
the first to appear. He was born about
500 r. c., and was the son of Cambyses,
King of Persia, and his mother was
Mundane, daughter of Astyages, King
of the Modes. This Astyages is known
in the Scriptures as Ahasuerus. At
this time the Persians were divided
into twelve tribes and inhabited only
one province of the vast country which
has since borne the name of Persia,
and they numbered less than 100000.
Through the valor and prudence of
Cyrus this small province became the
great Persian empire and the Persian
population reached the millions. Cyrus
was of fine appearance, possessed noble
qualities of mind, a gentle disposition,
was full of good nature and humanity
and had a great desire for learning. He
was never afraid of any danger, or dis
couraged by any hardship or difficulty.
He was brought up according to the
laws and customs of the PersianS,
which were excellent in those days in
respect to education. The training of
children was looked upon as the most
important duty and the most essential
part of government. Boys were
brought up in common and everything
was regulated by law for them-the
place and length of their exercises, the
times of eating, the quality if their
meat and drink, and their different
kinds of punishment.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1901-04-09

All through his life he was noted for
his modesty and temperate habits.
Pride, luxury and magnifcence reigned
around him whenever he went beyond
the confines of the Persian province,
but never did they in any way con-
taminate him. He always followed the
simple, frugal life of his youthful
days. Wherever he went his modest
but noble bearing, his affable manners
and his generosity procured him gen
eral love and esteem. His desire to be
just led him to be looked upon as the
great arbiter of all serious disputes
During his career of conquest, although
stern disciplinarian and often APP
pearing cruel and tyrannical, he was
usually just and generous to his fol-
lowers as well as the peoples he van
pushed. He sought to make allies
rather than enemies of those he con-
quered, and in this aim he was highly
successful. Many provinces surrendered
to him without resistance. when their

Beckwith settled at Niles, then known as Dutchman's Point, and Ma per started a settlement which became the town. of Naperville. This settle ment was the scene of some or the worst. depredations committed by the Sacs during the Black Hawk war. The wiy chief of the Sacs, becauss of un- fair treatment which he fancied that he had received from the government, went on the warpath in the spring of 1882, and his principal point of ass m- blaze was around the big tree. Naper was notified that Black Hawk was near at hand. and, after sending the women and children to Fort Dearborn, he re- paired with the men to Pottawaiomie camp in the big woods. A squaw told them that Black Hawk and his braves were dancing the war dance around the big tree only four miles distant, and that they had better puc-a-che. which, being interpreted, means to get move on ones self They moved, but the town was demolished, and at Indian creek all were Chicago Tribune.

A SYLVAN GIANT.
Illinois Poplar With Six Centuries Be-
 hind It.

Few people are aware that Gross Point, Ill.,. has probably the largest tree in the United States, with the exception of the redwoods in California. It is a historical tree, as well as sylvan giant, and while other states point with pride to thsir Washington elms and Eliot oaks, Illinois can go them one better by not only showing her Black Hawk tree. but at the same time have the satisfaction of a tree in luXurient and graceful. growth and of unusual proportions.
 The tree is situated in the center of a field owned by Charles KotZ and loc- ated about two and a half miles west of the town of Gross Point.
 The big tree is poplar and has been estimated by an English forester who visited 1t several years ago to be over 500 years old. Ii is over l30 feet in height, and would reach to the tenth story of a modern skyscraper. The great spread to the lower part of the trunk is what probably has kept the old tree standing At a distance of thrse feet from the ground it has d cir conference of thirty-one feet, which incloses chamber that has been the scene of Indian councils, robbers dens. and family gatherings of bears and other animals.
 The opening Is 1 feet s inches wide by $ feet 6 inches high, and this leads into d smooth floor feet 10 inches by II feet 6 inches.
 From point about twenty feet above ths ground the trunk runs up sym mctrically with a diameter of about five feet to a distance of nearly seventy feet, to where the first limb branches from the main trunk. Only one limb has fallen in forty years, and the wood from 1t supplied the farmer with suffi- cient iirewood for the winter In 1852 forest fires ragged over the section of tha country where the tree stands. de nuding large areas of valuable timber, | and the preservation of the Black | Hawk tree led the Indians to believe | that it was under the protection of the great spirit, and hence it was looked upon as medicine and became the Mecca of the medicine men of the var | ious tribes that roamed the country | The belief that pieces of the bark pos sessed special virtues is still maintain ed by many of the country maidens Of the vicinity, who seek to obtain or tc | hold the admiration of the rustic swains by carrying fragments of tho old tree about with them.

 Dearest" she cooed. deftly removing a few stray crumbs from her tig-leaf shirt waist, wont you promise to vote for woman's suffrage at the next elec- tion? I should so much love to have q hand in the Garden politics"
 A hard. cruel look crossed Adams handsome countenance. Hitching up his grapevine suspenders and shrug- ging his shoulders he replied:
 Now, Evie, dear" here he planted q kiss on her upturned lips" you must be a good little wife. I know you've been here nearly week, sweetness, but you must remember that. after al. you're only side issue"
 Calling his caddy ape. he strolled off to the golf links, while Eve bit her lip and muttered something about "goin' to raise Cain if she couldn't have her own way. y."-Smart Set.
