At this time Alexander was 25 years
old, and his army showed little sign
of wear. He conquered Egypt, MesO-
potamia and other miscellaneous coun-
tries, but finally ran out Of enemies,
owing to the extremely Unlimited infOr-
nation contained in the Biographies of
that time and after weeping bitterly
because he had no foes left to swat
he came back to Persia and settled
down to a quiet married life with sew
eraI Of the fairest princesses Of the
realm.
At the age of 81. Alexander died Of
fever. Even if he had lived longer
there was nothing left for him to do
but sit at a desk and run the country.
When we realize how pitiful II would
have been to see the cOnQueror of the
whole world and the most expert
sWordsman in history. getting down
behind a desk for u hours a day and
wrapping his legs around chair
while trying to sign his name to a
commission appointing an assistant
weather observer at Babel-Mandeb, we
can understand the kindness Of Prov
idence in removing Alexander before
the politicians got at him
Either Alexander was the greatest
general the world has ever known or
they had press agents in those days
who make ours look dumb and bashful.

At this time Macedonia is being

great damage, but at that time it was

world and everybody treated it with
respect When Alexander became re-

the justly celebrated Macedonian pha-

successfully that in few months he
was boss of Greece and was able to
appoint a personal friend postmaster
of Athens.
Alexander at this time was beauti-
full, accomplished and witty. He was
a fine sWOrdsman and had been edu-
Gated by Aristotle. Every Greek let
ter society in Hellas was crazy to
pledge him, but he stuck to business
and organized an army for the con-
