it was that his perversity made him
unlucky. For example, he wanted an
alliance between Sparta and Athens.
Yet when Niclas, his rival, secured that
alliance instead OF himself, Alcibiades
persuaded the Athelians to break with
Sparta.
He planned to make Athens ruler
OF all Greece. AS an early step in
this in AIS B. c. he planned an
expedition against Sicily, and had him
self chosen commander of it. II was

spree with some wild companions.
Next morning all the sacred busts of

through the city, were found hideously
mutilated. AS Alcibiades had already
won a name for sacrilege, the blame

was allowed to start on the expedition.

stand trial for the outrage.
Instead of coming back to Athens
to clear himself, he ran away, declar-

life-and-death trial. In his absence he
was convicted and condemned to die
This did not greatly trouble him, for
he fed to Sparta. There he betrayed
all of Athens secret plans and tried
to stir the Spartans TO war against the
Athenians. He also curried favor by
pretending TO lead the simple. severe
life of Sparta. But the chiefs OF The
Spartans plotted to kill him, so he fed
He was now hand and glove with
the enemies OF Greece, and became
famous in PeTsia's service. But after

his behavior and tried TO murder him.
Alcibiades escaped. Through sheer

friend asked him why he had done SO
foolish a thing, and said that the peo-
pie OF Athens were reviling him for 1t.
Il know they are" answered Alcibia-
des. THAT is why l did it. 1t keeps
them from saying worse things about
me for while"
The anecdote is typical of Alcib-
fades life story. He was born $50 B. c.,
of ancient and noble family, had good
looks, wealth and genius. He might
have risen to almost any height. But
there was about him queer streak"
a demon of pervtTsity that was ever
leading him to throw away his golden
crimes and follies.
Greece in those days was in its
glory. 1t was split up into several
dependent and semi-independent
states, of which Athens and Sparta
were the chief. Athens was noted
for its art, education and culture;
Sparta for it's courage and stern sim
plicity. The two were deadly walls.
Persia, the great nation TO the east
ward, was ever seeking to destroy
both. Athens and Sparta were dem
ocracies in the strongest sense OF the
word, the voice of the people always
ruling the state. (This did not pre-
vent shrewd politicians ruling the peo-
pie any more than IT does nawadays)
Alcibiades started life IS a pupil OF
the wise old philosopher Socrates. The
two were dear friends, each having
saved the others life in battle. Yet
Socrates could not turn his pupil from
vice and gayety, nor induce him TO
follow wisdom rather than pleasure.

gance soon became the scandal OF

Plan Sane Fourth.-If present plans
Of the Moline Fourth of July associa-
ton materialize, $1,000 will be spent

climax to the celebration planned for
July T. OF this sum, $1,000 will Be for
the display and $50 TO cover expenses
of engaging an expert and the erection
Of a stand from which TO discharge the
display. The consensus Of opinion ex-
pressed at the meeting Friday evening
was that at least $1,000 should be
spent on this part of the program. 1t
is argued that if the entertainment
during the day is not satisfactory to
all that an excellent display of fire
works in the evening will send every
body home IN the best of spirits.

 The trouble between George W. Hall, of Canaan. and D. B. Cornell, of Great Burlington, the erstwhile partners in real estate, has been amicably adjusted, and all is serene again in the realm of real estate.
 The real essence of the disagreement, which was magnified and exaggerated by the street gossIps and rumor makers, into sinister charges and counter charges insinuatlng forgery, fraud. mis representation, arson, highway robbery, burglary, rioting, horse stealing and every other negative virtue in the cate gory of crime. seems not to have been so serious as to thwart the settlement when the parties got together and set. tied down to the the business of coming to an agreement. This was done Mon day morning, when Hall and Cornell met and fixed up and ratified a treaty whereby all differences are buried, and peace, like 0 benediction comes to end the war

ROBERTS CONGRATULATED

State Treasurer-elect Receives Visit
 from Fellow Townsmen.
 party of about a dozen Canaan friends of State Treasurer E. s. Roberts went by autos to MT. Roberts house, in No. district, Monday evening to pay their respects to that gentleman and extend congratulations on his elec- tion. There were republicans as we'll as democrats in the visiting party, but there was no particle of difference in the sin. cerity with every person expressed his qualification at the honor that has come to a worthy and estimable fellow towns man, and the distinction which his pre- ferment brings to the town.
 The guests were graciously received by MT. Roberts and his family and en. tertained with that whole-souled and de- igntful hospitality that has always dis l tinguished that household and the even ing was pleasantly passed in social con- versatlOn, httle music, an abundance of refreshments and an informal smoker.
 A diverting incident was the Moore & Roger fire, intelligence of which was telephoned to the Roberts house a few minutes after the guests arrived. MT. l Roberts himself answered the call, re- spending in the most matter. of fact way, and as he hung up the receiver he cas- ually remarked to the assembled com pany that the purpose of the message was that his store building was ablaze and doomed to complete destruction. (Mr. Roberts had owned the building for nearly l5 years.) He showed not the least sign of perturbation. and didn't even leave his house to go to the scene when the greater part of his company hastily departed to render what aid they might. The fire interrupted the festivi- ties but a short time, however, and proved but an exciting incident in an evening of rare enjoyment.
