Socrates
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author OF eAt Good Old Siyvarh,B

- OCRATES was a crank who lived
~ about 25OO years ago when the
- climate was exceedingly unhealthy
for cranks. The coroner's verdict on
Socrates was that he died of too many
ideas.
Socrates lived in Greece, which was
about the only country worth living in
in the 9Th century B. c. He received
a good Athens education which consisted
at that time of athletics, sculpture and
music but instead of plying himself to
business and producing his share of
marble statues. he frittered away his time
studying geometry, astronomy, Latin and
other fads. He then married Xantippe.
and soon afterwards began to spend all
his time on the street corners under the
pretense of discussing important sub
iects. But those who knew Xantippe's
temper and her skill in hurting the flat
iron laughed coarselv at this excuse.
Socrates was HOplite for a while when
a young man, but soon recovered or was
released OF failed Of election-depending
on what "Hoplite" was. Then he threw
himself into the teaching of philosophy
and spent the rest of his life searching
the dark and unfathOmed chasms in the
human understanding of those days His
method of teaching was to loaf on the
street corner until he got a crowd and
then get his admirers to ask him ques-

When Language Fails
By walt Mason.

The English tongue, as taught in
schools, and governed by grammatic
rules, Is good enough, most times; twas
good enough for Scott and Pope when
they produced their brilliant dope, their
stories and their rhymes. Twas good
enough for Shakspere, too, who wrote
TThe Tanning Of the Shrew," and all Of
Bacon's plays; and Coleridge found It
good hot stuff, and Wordsworth thought
1t rich enough in which to frame his laws.
its good enough for those who teach, and
for the gifted men who preach, for
Jurists Of renown; but when the sporting
writers fall to work to write up games
OF ball, the tongue is out and down.
They borrow something from the Greek,
and from the tongue the Choctaws speak
and from the Eskimos; they draw some
symbols from the Slavs and ancient
tombs are split in halves for adverbs no
one knows. I read the daily baseball
yarn and then 90 out behind the barn
where / can swear in peace; I cannot tell,
when all Is done, which teams ahead
and which has won a string of eggs of
geese. L wish Sam johnson could be
here, that Edward Gibbon could appear.

Socrates lived to the age Of 20, aequir-
ing a long curly beard and a reputation
for being able to silence anyone in
Greece on any subject in a catch-as-
catch-can debate He disagreed with
everything the Athenians believed in and
even attempted to reform some of the
old gods. This aroused the fire of the
Republicans, who condemned HIM to
death. However, he could have escaped
on a teehnicaIity if he had not been so
aTgUmentative. But he took the ground
that he was entitled to a pension IN
stead Of death and argued about it IN
til the authorities made him drink hem
lock to shut off the debate.
Socrates invented a philosophy and
method Of reasoning which endured for
many ages, and was the wisest man of
his time, but a VIGOROUSLY poor provider,
living in rags from choice, which combels
