His job was tutor and guardian of Alexander the Great who “conquered the world” and died when he was 4 Lovely woman was Alexander's weakness. He had paused in his career to worship at the shrine of an ad venturess. Chided by Aristotle, Alexander mockingly “Sighing, alone he cried, as inly moved: ‘Alas! These men, me seems, have never loved The philosopher won out, however—Alexander jilted his Sweetheart. She managed to get to him learned why her lover had abandoned her. Burning for revenge, she set her traps. : Details are somewhat lacking as to what followed. But it wound up with Aristotle at the beauty’s feet, his wis- dom flung to the four winds Her answer was that, before she would become the old man’s darling, he must gratify her craving to mount and Tide the back of the wisest man in the world. Alexander, watching, soon saw her strap a saddle on ‘Aristotle’s back, fasten reins to him, mount and ride about the imperial gardens, Aristotle on all fours as he lumbered along with his precious burden. When a white-haired philosopher made such a fool of himself, one doesn’t wonder at the old boys of our gen- eration whose affections and fancies get them on page ‘one of the newspapers. Aristotle, when he realized how he had been duped, ad mitted that youthful Alexander was crazy like a fox when he pursued feminine beauty. “Love is master of mankind,” agreed the aged man of Hwisdom. woman said The Speed of Life W. ALLEN, millionaire businessman, missed his ‘ night train out of Boston to New York. So he “hired a special train. Cost him $1,127 for the trip. + Interviewed, he was astonished that the deal struck any one as extraordinary. “Just wanted to get home, that was all.” We can’t all charter special trains, But the man in even moderate circumstances “has it on” the ancient em- “perors in the matter of comforts such as bath, tubs, elec- ‘tric lights, fast autos. By ancient standards, we're all emperors. Fast Fun in Germany ERMANY has surely changed. The meeting of the : new reichstag, the other day, furnished the proof. emember Ludendorf, once the blood and iron of the ‘well-known mailed fist? When he took his seat in the ' house he found his desk decorated with a bloody wreath of flowers commemorative of the man “who sent mil- ‘lions of death,” and raucous and derisive cries of “Raus mit him” fell upon his startled ears. The people were on to him and their representatives hurled derision and contempt at his bald head. Prince Bismarck, grandson of the fron chancellor, “the ‘man who made Germany,” found nothing in a name, for his colleagues jeered him with “Stand up, little boy.” Von Tirpitz, he of the ruthless submarine orders, was greeted with cries of “Torpedo him,” while there was din of hisses and cat-calls. There is hope for Germany since its legislators have been freed from the rule that was symbolized by the clink of spurs, the rattle of sabers, the gtitter of tinseled uniforms and the menace of too-ready guns. And they have humor, too, which is good for them, even if it is a bit chafing and disconcerting to the old boys like Ludendorf and Von Tirpitz, the last relics of an artificial power that rested insecurely on the theory that | PARADE OF THE DEAD ut pee you gone, but hold a long p and 9 ed We w We were in a great hurry to get there, We thought we beat the train to the crossing.” rn are the word are victims of cowardly Crossing the street, we were struck down by car, whieh sped away.” “We fends. a motor “I tried to drive a car when I was Intoxicated, but the car went Into the ditch.” “I was a speed flend, I saw nothing ahead, But a steering red snapped.” e word banner n another were started across the street dreaming. 1 didn't even hear the horn of the motor ear, Tam the jaywalker,” “1 thought the motorist ahead 1 always fellow to get mn these cars. tried to pai auto ns we turned a curve, and I found the ditch,” One said “1 was playing ball on the street.
