Observation-Disclosures


[originail
There was once man whose name
bras Chlacas. He had been born a
peasant, but from thesday Of his birth
had manifested wonderful precocity.
He walked with sturdy step before
he was a year old and was possessed
oe a mans ,ocabuIary before he was
two. His bent was in two directions,
study and activity. He was sent to
school, where be soon surpassed his
masters, while in athletic sports and
feats OF daring no one could cope
with him.
When Chlacas was seventeen years
old neighboring king invaded the
dominions OF his sovereign, and the
boy enlisted In the army. At the first
battle he rallied his legion Tor regi-
ment, as we call 1t now, it having
been driven back and its commander
killed. This made him prominent. He
rose rapidly in the military service
and eventually as general Of the army
drove back the invader. He was ac-
corded triumph, receiving the thanks
of his sovereign and his countrymen.
Unrest seemed to drive him on
ward, and he begged permission to
march against one OF the neighboring
states with a view to its conquest.
He was given a reluctant consent and,
leading forth an army, within sixty
days had annexed the territory 10 his
own country. From this starting point
he proceeded with other ccnquests till
he had subjugated every land of the
continent on which he lived, and tor
gether they formed an empire.
When there were no more conquests
for ChIacas he was made prime min
lister and as a Iawgiyer proved himself
as great as soldier. His king died
childless, and, the legal heir to the
throne being weakllng, the people
demanded that ChIacas assume the
crown. He deferred to the unanimous
call, and the government was made
perpetual in him and his family.
Up to that time Chlaeas was the
greatest man that had ever lived. He
was initiated later By Caesar, who was
both general and Iawgiver, and In the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
A. ID. by Napoleon Bonaparte. But,
unlike either of these men, he was not
ambitious for himself He loved his
people, and his only wish was to make
them great and prosperous. This he
achieved. From petty kingdom with
no markets for their products except
within their own borders he made them
an empire, with the neighboring ma
lions tributary to them, and forced pur-
chasers Of what they produced All
he desired from them was their graft
tude. which they lavished upon him to
bis hearts content

pinnacle Of fame and could climb no

higher, a soothsayer came to bis donin-
ions and foretold many wonderful
things. King Chlacas was seized with
desire to know what would be his
end. He sent for the soothsayer and
asked him to give him a picture OF
himself Ia his last days.
20 king" said the prophet, you ask
what ~ not for your good, the good of
your people or OF the world. Heaven
has wisely concealed our future, the
hour Of death Were these revealed

reveal what is in store for you"
H." replied the king, IAN superior
to the detriment such revelation would
occasion In another. Show me myself

Then the scothsayer touched the king,
who strsiKhtway fell into deep slurn-
Der And he dreamed a dream. In
desolste place be saw a hut, and In
the hut on rude cot, covered with
ragged bedclothing, lay an old man
dying, There was no one to minister
to him, no one to hear the groan he
gave when his spirit left his body.
The soothsayer touched the king, and
he awoke.
Interpret the dream / have dream
ed he said to the soothsayer.
20 king, know that the old man IS
yourself. Your subjects shall rebel
against you. and foreign ruler shall
dispoasess you Of your dominIons. You
shall die in exile, with no one to sound
your praises or to give you even a
crssgS Of bread"
From this moment King ChIacas was
changed. The ingratitude OF his sub
jects ranked in his breast From
loving them be grew to hate them. In
stead Of redressing their wrongs, he
took no interest in them. From then
he began TO Cypress them. Gradually
that love they had borne him abated
and at last turned 10 animosity. This
sntaEonism between the sovereign and
his people led to many troubles for
both. Taking advantage Of the OPP
portunity, one Of the strongest Of the
subject nations rebelled, and, Chlacas,
having to oppose 1t with an army who
disliked him, could not hght them with
the same effect as formerly. The rebels
were successful and achieved their in
dependence. This rebellion was fol-
lowed by others till every subject prov
ince had become free.
Then neighboring king who had
been growing strong while ChIacss had
been growing weak determined TO
make war with a view to subjugating
the man who had been so great. This
be succeeded in doing and annexed
his territory to his own dominions.
Chlacas fed with number Of his adj
herents, but he had no means Of re-
tanning them about him, and they grad
ually dwindled away till the ex-king
was alone. He wandered from one
place to another and finally built him
hut on desolate island. There he
lived alone till death relieved him Of
his sufferings.
The story Of Chlacas teaches the wis
dom of our future being kept hidden
