The Old Fellow Who Lived [Gq in the Tub t By the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory. Copyright, 1918, by Th Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World) AKE notice tiat I use the definite article—the tub. There are tubs Galore, but the only tub that is worth one’s attention, now or at} any other time, is the one in which Diogenes lived. The Parthenon is in ruins, the Long Walls buflt by Themistocles have crumbled to dust, and even the Pyramids are slowly wearing away; but the old Cynic from Sinope is as solid to-day as he was when, more than nd years ago, he commanded the great Alexander to stand out of his sun- shine. | The story of Diogenes will not only live forever, but it will always be of first rate, practical importance to mankind, as will appear in the sequel. The man who informed the conqueror of the world that the only favor he asked of him was to get out of his sunshine was born 412 B. C., in Sinope, up on the Black Sea. Upon reaching manhood he became asso- ciated with his father in the banking business, but one day there was a run on the bank and it was discovered that the bottom had dropped out of the institution. The firm of Diogenes and Son was indicted, tried and con- victed of swindling, and the junior member of the firm took “leg bail” and ‘uck out for Athens, Before reaching the City of the Violet Crown the young fugitive from Justice chanced to see, in one of the public squares, a wry-faced old fellow who was talking very energetically to a crowd that seemed to be by turns amused and disgusted by what the speaker was saying. Diogenes, having nothing in particular to do, stopped to see what the excitement was about, and soon learned that the ugly old man who was doing the talking was Antisthenes the Cynic, known by the cognomen of | “The Dog.” | Diogenes listened while Antisthenes lampooned the crowd and the | whole human race, calling them lars, thieves, ingrates, hypocrites and everything else that was disreputable. Diogenes was in just the frame of mind to say “Amen!” to the speech | of Antisthenes. Smarting under his disgrace, a convicted swindler and a| fugitive from the justice he had outraged, the young scamp from Sinope | was tickled to death with the idea that every one else was as bad as he | was. Misery likes company, and the bigger the company the better! Listening to the old Cynic, Diogenes shouted, “That's so. You are on the right track, old fellow.” “Shut up, you ew shrieked Antisthenes, at the same time bringing his staff down upon Diogenes’s head. “Pound away, | old man,” said Diogenes, “my head's as tough as your stick. You are my man, and I'm going to stay with you for keeps. And he did. He became a cynic, a slanderer and hater of all mankind, and stuck to the job to the last day of his phenomenally long life. And why? In his youth he met with the disgrace of his own bringing on, and instead of living it down, or, at any rate, bearing it like a man, he said to himself, “I am a ruined man, and, by Jupiter, I'll do what I can to ruin everybody else.” The tribe of Diogenes still lives. We have some of the tribe in our own community, They are to be found in every part of the world—men and women soured by misfortune, and bent on making all the rest of the folks as miserable as themselves. | But in spite of ‘t all, some of us find it hard to keep from entertaining a sort of sneaking admiration for the old Cynic who lived in the tub. He was dirty and he was hateful, but be was independent. He granted no favors and asked none. It was Diogenes against the world, and he kept | up the fight for ninety years and died game at last. It was an ugly life, but it was a plucky one. And pluck is a virtue. Advice to Lovers By Betty Vincent | "rope cone! ions as to the char | of those who use it, however inna read-| ly.
