Pharaohs, which afforded the means
of leading up gradually to the time
OF Alexander, purporting to sustain
the quotation used in opening at all
events. Had history ceased with sew
eral, previous to the time of Alexan-
der, they would have been hailed as
instructive and far-reaching as many
which have succeeded to pages fol-
lowing them. In making COM
parative study of them however, we
find practically the same contention
at stake, differing only in the details
as carried out, from which fact gives
the familiar phrase history repeats
ITSELF"
In conclusion, brief summary of
Alexander's life: He was born of a
father who was as illustrious an ex-
ample of ruling Kings as history
records; the son going so far as to
comment on the doings of his father
to the effect that he would leave
nothing for him and his school mates
to accomplish, thus evincing the
spirit of initiative which marked his
after life. AS we follow him
through the labyrinthe of strife of
his reign, we notice that he was
ever being guided by some notable
character of past times, but in par
ticular, he was ever mindful of the
promptings and teachings of the
master-mind of his great tutor,
Aristotle, man who stood at the
apex of learning and whose chief
aim was to impart to his great pupil
what he knew. Taking a perspec-
tive view of our heros' life we can
almost see Aristotle standing a proud
spectator to his doings and as the
time effaces his activity we behold
a man. standing with weak, sorrow
full contenance, beholding the up
starts who clamor for and covet the
laurels won by their benefactors
! finally the end comes and from the
heart of Aristotle is wrung, express
ed in deep anguish because of the
early demise of his pupil, There
is a run in families, after a few
generations transcendent genius be

Paper Read Before the Chd,ttduQuG Circle:
The historian was remaining with
in the truth when stating, most Of
the great changes in the worlds his
tory came about gradually" How
trite upon first thought that state
ment appears to be. yet either by
dissemination, or when given our
serious consideration, the full sig
nifcance of what the author had in
mind begins to forge itself into our
thoughts, enabling us to, conceive, in
a vague way perhaps, the process
of reasoning the authors mind was
following.
In stating what he is quoted as
saying, he was speaking of a man
and of time, which was the latter
part of the fourth century 3. c., the
time being that peroid when this
great man of fame and history WELD
ed the scepter and held dominion
over the destinies of nations; who
shaped and guided the policies of his
time, who formulated the laws, rul-
ing where his dominions were,
either by fear or fealty, or by the
right and might of many successful
conquests, ably seconded by force
full personality, a trait to which is
due, in large degree, his position
of distinction in history; of having
disturbed the peace of the con-
tented world and awakening its in
difference to one of admiration;
destroyed their peace and content
by shattering their beliefs In the
idea of several ruling monarchs,
and concentrating their admiration
upon himself, whom they generally
acclaimed and recognized as their
legitimate sovereign.
Alexander the Great is to, likened
to child. Give a child toy from
which outward appreciation d
novelty wains, it will then destruct
in order to learn of the inward
working; being satisfied, the pro-
cess of reconstruction is attempted.

also to the various and more laud-
able achievements, inspired and act
uated by selfshness, or self-aggrand-
izment. The common aim, then as
now. was to satisfy the spark of
vitality of desire. Nature has placed
in the breasts of all, which forever
and anon fans into existence feeble
flames of desire into sublime and
overwhelming achievements of the
strong, whose works have been echo
ed through the centuries, enabling
we of our day to deduce. They
were strong, as We reckon men to
be strong, in will, in capacity of ad
aption to cope with the various cir
cumstances as they arose in courage,
and in all those innumerable traits
which mark and characterize lead
er of men, of nations. While IN the
weak and fearing contender for fame
who has his as weak attempts at
conquest quelled almost as they
arose, we see ruler who is fore
ed by incompetence, the circumstan-
ces Of his day, and his vacillating
methods and morals, in order to gain
even line in history, he must needs
resort to the use of his underlying wits
and subterfuges, to decoy anG assass-
mate those who were stronger and
opposed to their jurisdiction.

Pride goeth before destruction"
1t most certainly preceded the
naughty invasion made by the South
which foretold the final downfall Of
the Confederacy.
The South had been elated by two
great victories and was made conf
dent of the excession of strength it
was receiving. Considering these
opportunities favorable for an in
vasiou the Confederate General
determined to transfer the theater
of war into the North and live off
the enemy's country. Their hopes
ran high; their expectations were
great. Into this invasion was sent
the finest and best equipped troops
that the South had ever raised. 1t
contained the flower and strength of
tie Confederacy.
They were inspired with sense of
invincibility; they had come to be-
lieve they could not be conquered,
nor had they forgotten the boastful
words of their leader, that that
issue would be decided on the wheat
fields of the North" On the other
side stood the Union Army, tho dis
heartened and discouraged by its re-
cent disasterous defeats, it was ever
ready to march, to fight and to be
defeated time and time again, but
with a never say die determination
that entities it to the lasting respect
of the nation which it finally saved
from destruction. Onward they
hurried day and night for God and
for their country until in few days
they had peopled the quaint little
town of Gettysburg with race of
soldiers. They came from the East

praires of the West, they came TO
dare all and to do all that was posi-
BILE for heroes to do.
There then meet the two grandest,
best equipped and most determined
armies that ever stood face to face
on earth. On one side was the
mighty tempest of scoru and in
dignation against which was con-
/. sidered to be Heaven-defying in
Justice. On the other side was the
cause of the North, which stood firm
by the integrity of the Union and
the honor of nations to which were
added the cries ofl freedom, liberty
and humanity. Each side had per-
feet confidence in the Heaven-born
, justice of its cause; each prayed to
the same God for assistance. But
one cause was wrong and would be
, defeated.
The stubborn fighting that was ex-
9 hibited on this field of courage has
never been surpassed. 1t was here,
if ever, that Greek met Greek. 1t
was here. if ever, that principle
o clashed with principle. Well aware
was either side that on the issue Of
8 that conflict was staked the future
4 destiny Of both governments and
both put forth their utmost strength.
h For three days the fate of the Re
h public hung trembling in the bal
. ance over the field which neither
side had yet chosen, but the God OF
nations over ruled all and gave the
victory to the right.
The dead and dying on that field

of patriotism and courage was noi
