Among the must Impressive lecords
"f the present war are the pages o»
portraits published by the liritisi.
weeklies of ihe officers who have dieu
in the service of their country. Prac
tically every great name and family in
Biitain will b© found representeu
aniung the many faces whose linea
ments have been stamped upon then
pages during tne period of strife, show
ing conclusively that it is not the
lowly and humble alone who are dy
ing lor Britain's cause, in this war a
least. Probably more than in any
otner war in modern times, those wh
are classed as belonging among lh<
more elevated ranks of society art
displaying tnelr valor and love o.
country by risking their lives in it.
service. Britain's most noble sons ar,
facing the enemy with unflinching
courage today and hundreds of other,
have long yielded up their youth anu
strength to the cruel lust of war an.
lie sleeping in heroe's graves beside
the tens of thousand of their mort
humble compatriots who gallantly re
sponded to the call to arms. Not only
does this apply to England but als
to every other country engaged In th.
mammoth struggle. The flower of thi
aristocracy of France hus already
gasped out its life on the blood strewr
battle fields and lies inert in shallow
graves Curved from the shot torn earth
beside the trenches where sleep humbk
Jacques and Francois. The Prusslar.
family of vou Buelow long ago an
nounced the death of ten of its mem
bers in the war and death has made
the same terrific inroads into practical
ly all of the exalted families of the
empire. Austria has given of her noble
sons by- scores while the scroll of
Italy's heroes bears many a name that
was famous through the by-gone ages.
Doubtless Russia's sons of name and
lienage have been no less backward
in lending themselves to the service
of their country than havo those of
the other lands involved in the awe
some struggle. Not only has the pres
ent war been revolutionary In Its dis
play of unguessed forces and methods
but It also discloses a sti.ktng change
In the though and attitude of the so
called upper classes.
THE STARVING MIND.
(Oliver Wendell Holmes.)
The mind does not know what diet
it can feed on until it has been brought
to the starvation point. Its experi
ence is like that of those who have '
been long drifting about on rafts or In
long boats. There Is nothing out of
which It will not contrive to get some
sustenace.
MAN'S WILL IS ALL HIS OWN.
True education lies In learning to wish
things to be as they actually are; it
lies in learning to distinguish what is
our own from what does not belong
to us. But there is only one thing
which Is fully our own—that Is our
will or promise. (Tod, acting as a good
king and a true father, has given us a
will which cannot be restrained, com
pelled or thwarted; he has put it whol
ly Iq our power * * * Nothing can ever
force us to act against our will. If
we are conquered, It is because we
have willed to be conquered.—Epic
tetus.
