Cyrus in Media
CYRUS, THE GREAT
Continued From Last Week.

Cyrus in Media
Soon after this Cyrus, aided by
Median traitors, led his little army Of
stalwart Persians against the luxuri-
Gus Modes of the north, captured the
Median capital. defeated the Median
army, and even took prisoner the
Median king. his own grandfather.
But Cyrus did not treat his royal
prisoner in the cruel and revengeful
manner which was common TO con-
querors Of that age, but treated him
as beftted n king and his grand
father.
Cyrus In Lydia
Next Cyrus led his victorious lit
tie army, now reinforced by Modes,
through the Median Empire into the
powerful state Of the Lydians in
Asia Minor. Soon he overcame them
and took prisoner their king Croesus,
who was famous for his immense
wealth. Again Cyrus showed his
generosity. for instead Of torturing
and killing Croesus, Cyrus allowed
him TO live in comfort and even lux
ury in his captivity. and made him
his personal friend and adviser. II
is related that Cyrus used to take
Croesus along with him on later ex-
petitions in order TO consult him In
time Of need
Cyrus in Baby lonia
Cyrus next directed his efforts
against the great king Of Babylonia,
Belshazzar. Cyrus attacked him in
the strong city Of Babylon, which
men thought could never be taken by
a hostile army. But at length the
great city. with its fabulous wealth,
fell into the hands Of Cyrus and his
mountain men. You remember the
story told in the book Of Daniel Of
how Cyrus broke in upon Belshazsr's
feast on that fateful night. Again
Cyrus showed his generosity. for one
Of his acts after the fall OF Babylon
was to release the homesick Jewish
captives who had been captured and
carried away to Babylonia fifty years
before. He even returned to them
the sacred vessels which had been
taken from them at the time Of the
capture Of Jerusalem. So il was that
the Jewish people by the thousand
set out for Palestine. blessing the
name Of good king Cyrus as they

The poets fare was simple. His
breakfast consisted Of hominy or oat-
meal, or griddle cakes, and in season
he relished baked apples and fruit,
either in its natural form OF freshly
stewed. He was also very fond Of
griddle cakes made Of buckwheat and
vegetables. Under no circumstances
did he ever touch tea or coffee, nor
did he ever touch meat at the morn
ing meal. Occasionally he drank
chocolate, but he usually preferred
water. In the country he dined early

ate sparingly Of either fish or meat.

Mountain Men in History


tramped back home from the Babylo-
nian captivity.
The Mildness Of Cyrus
Thus Cyrus, with his handful OF
hardy Pcrsians from the mountains,
conquered an empire three-fourths
the size Of our United States. But,
though he was the most powerful
king who had ever lived, ruling more
people than Ramses II, Ashurbanipal.
or Ncbuchadnezzar had ever ruled.
yet Cyrus kept himself above the
cruel customs Of other Oriental con-
querors. He did not destroy captured
capitals. nor Stay hosts Of captives.
nor mutilate his prisoners. He did
not find pleasure in dragging con-
uuered kings around city wall nor
in gouging out the eyes. nor In cut
ting Oft the ears and noses Of his
captives. He did NOT Cypress his
conquered subjects by laying excess
sive tribute, but let their leaders de-
eide how much tribute the state was
able to pay. Many OF the stories
told about his generosity seem too
good to be true. but Mt least they
show how great was his reputation
for mildness and justice in ancient
times.
Death Of Cyrus
Various stories were told about the
death Of Cyrus. One story related
that he was killed in a battle against
some northern barbarians and that
the cruel queen Of these barbarians
cut on the head Of Cyrus and, 70
vent her spite, plunged II into a skin
full Of blood. Another story related
that as he was standing out Of doors
one day. he mysteriously disappeared
by divine will. and. said the legend.
he was likely to come back again
some day. The Persians. like many
other ancient people, hated to think
that their great national hero could
die like an ordinary man.
Cyrus had four capitals for his
splendid empire. but II was at his
capital at Pasargadae, back In the
mountains, that he was buried.
There stands his tomb to this day.
In a lonely mountain valley. TO re-
mind us Of Cyrus. the Great, q con-
queror who. strange to say. was A.
famous for the fneness Of his char
acter as for the extent Of his con-
quest

MAN AND THE MONKEY;
THE DIFFERENCE

'No wonder they say man is descend
ed from the monkey y'-Extract from New
York Paper.
Let 'em say it all they please, broth
ers. it isn't so. And next time somebody
springs that common lie on you as a scien-
tific fact, Just tell him that no competent
scientist ever said anything of the kind.
When the average chap speaks of our
descent from the monkey. he of course
thinks of the monkey or the ape that now
inhabts the earth and which is so familiar
in menageries, zoos and museums.
What modern biologists beginning
with Darwin claim-and prove to the sat
isfaction of the learned-is that man is
descended from the same root. the same
original animal substance of millions Of
years ago that the ape is descended from.
That is far from saying that said root
was an ape. The ridiculous monkey of to-
day is most certainly no more like that
original stem, no more like that original
root" father than man himself is like that
original father.

INTERVIEW WITH HENRY FORD

"A few decades ago, there We're local
flouring-mills in the small towns. Then
came patent processes, big mills, consoli-
dation The little mills were shut down:
Now they are making small flour-mill
plants that will produce the same flour, IN
very small establishments and we shall
be returning presently to the old system of
the local mill, supplying the local market.
That will cut out another big item of waste
transportation
THE new era will see a great redis-
tribution of industry back to the country.
This country has got to live in the country;
industry must be taken back to the coun-
try; small cities and towns should supply
more of their requirements, diversity their
industries. enable local capital to finance
their business. and thus keep it in the fin
ancial control of the people who have the
greatest interest in its success. financing
industry is all wrong; the thing to do with
industry is to run it; under the manage
ment of people who own it, and who stay
on the job.
Make every community as nearly in
dependent as possible. The great modern
city is an abnormal development. 1t tends
TO break down under its own weight. 1t
is socially bad and economically unsound.
You can see the evidences of this, in the
acute housing problem of cities, and in the
breakdown of municipal facilities, espec-
tally traction systems
