HEROES ARE SADLY LACKING
Few Generals Are Mentioned in Sto
ries of Conflict in Europe—Army
Is Like Machine.
Most amazing of all the wonderful
things about this war is the extremely
few names of generals we ever hear
about, writes Girard in the Philadel
phia Ledger.
One Italian, a couple of English, two
or three Frenchmen, four Germans and
the same number of Russians, and not
one Turk. That makes up the list af
ter two years of fighting and with
25,000,000 soldiers under arms.
The vast armies are moved like ma
chines. Hardly a reputation for any
individual anywhere.
What a different story in Napoleon’s
day! He made four kings, a viceroy,
a crown prince, five other princes and
twenty-one dukes.
The names of some of his marshals
are almost as well known as that of
Bonaparte himself. So, too, in our
revolution.
“Washington and His Generals” is
the name of a once popular book, and
the generals are known to millions of
schoolchildren—Greene, Wayne, Put
nam, Knox and Lee.
The South as well as the North had
lots of heroes in the ’6Os —Lee, Jack
son, Johnson, Bragg, Beauregard, Stu
art, Hill, Pickett, and Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan, Meade, Thomas, Hancock
and a host of others, almost as much
talked about as the supreme comman
ders themselves.
But this is a war minus heroes, and
that is the worst part of it, because
hero-making was about the best a war
ever did.

Thin, brittle, colorless and

There is nothing so destructive
to the hair as dandruff. It robs

strength and its very life
eventually producing a fev

which if not remedied causes the
hair roots to shrink, loosen and

after the first application your hair
will take on that life, lustre and
luxuriance which is so beautiful.
It will become wavy and fluffy

MOVING STARS IN HEAVENS
Mystery Explained When Telescope Is

on Automobiles.
William R. Gardener, who has a cot*
Jiage on the west shore of Pontoosuc
iake, in the Berkshires, has been no
ticing what he termed moving stars in
the nothwestern heavens. “These
stars,” he had said, “appeared quite
Jsigh in the sky and slowly descended.
They disappeared and then appeared
again lower down in the sky.” Re
cently a powerful telescope was
brought into play and the mystery was
solved. The lights were found to be
those on automobiles coming down the
Rockwell road from the summit of
Greylock mountain.

Pats Nearly Wrecked This Man.
A writer in the American Magazine
says: “I have always been obsessed
with a desire to be patted on the back.
I am that economic hybrid, the suc
cessful failure, just escaping com
plete wreck by suddenly realizing the
truth. The other day, just after I
had been promoted to a position of
considerable importance, a friend
slapped me on the back and said,
‘Good boy, I knew they would appre
ciate your worth some time.’ His
words were gall. I had held the same
position more than 20 years before. I
had merely won back by hard work
a position that, in early manhood, I
had achieved without much effort.”
Tiny but Deadly.
Two canary birds of the Hartz vari
ety, belonging to Mrs. W. W. Leete of
Gladstone, Okla., were killed by a
humming bird recently and the mur
derer was caught in the cage beside
the bodies of his victims.
The canary birds were on the porch
of the Leete home. The humming
bird was able to fly between the wires
of the cage and attacked the canary
birds wth its long and pointed bill.
The canary birds, although larger than
their assailant, were almost powerless
against the quick darts. The hum
ming bird came out of the battle al
most unhurt, but was unable to mak®
his exit the way he had come In.
The canaries were valuable.
