GREAT MASTER OF THOUGHT
Influence Of Aristotle on the Minds Of
Men Has Been for Two Thousand
Years Supreme.

Aristotle was the most famous and
influential of the Greek philosophers.
He was born 3S4 Il. @. and died In 800
B. Q. In the history of western clvlli-
cation there Is no example Of any 9TH
er philosopher having exerted so great
and so permanent an influence on the
minds of men as Aristotle. For nearly
1000 years his authority was not only
predominant, but almost despotlc, in
oil countries where the light Of learn
Ing had penetrated. During the dark
ages" when little attention was paid
to learning, even In the most favored
portions Of Christian Europe, the
philosophy Of Aristotle was encourage
ed and his works diligently studied In
the Moslem capitals OF Bagdad and
Cordova. On the revival Of letters In
Italy and other parts of Europe, Arts
totle reigned for time in the schools
without rival.
After the reformation his influence
decreased, and for nearly 200 years
after the time of Bacon the works Of
Aristotle were almost universally neg
lected among the learned In Europe.
Toward the close OF the last century,
however, attention was again directed
to them. His true position In the realm
Of intellect is admitted to be fully
equal, If not superior, to that Of any
other Of the great masters Of thought
That the world has ever seen.

NOT GOOD JUDGE or POETRY
One Explanation for NapoIeon's Pecu-
liar Worship at Shrine OF secohd-
Rate Writer of Verse,

The curious Partially which NapO-
leon showed for the poems Of Osslan,
particularly "Temora," puzzled his
contemporaries, as 1t since has his BIZ
ographers, says the Christian Science
Monitor. 1t Is related that no carried
beautifully bound copy Of Osslan
with him to Egypt and that on being
read passages of the Odyssey by the
poet Arnault, while on board ship, he
contemptuously exclaimed: "You call
that sublimel What n difference be-
tween your Homer and my Osslan,"
and, reading some passages from Ute
mora" he said, "This Is grand, and
sentimental and subllmel Osslan is a
poet, Homer mere drivel." Nnpoleon's
preference for the works of the mys-
terry poet Of sthe North continued
throughout his life. He was reading
Ossian in 1907, and well-thumbed
copy was among his books at st. He
lena. There have been many explnnn-
lions given for so strange II literary
preference. The Countess de Montho-
Ion unkindly remarks that Napoleon
was VIGOROUSLY deficient I'm bis sense
OF rhythm and that therefore poetry
which was not poetry at all as far as
form went, for he read OssIan in
French prose, suited him very nicely.
