No invitation was required to these
feasts. His guests were asked to sign
their names in book which was kept
for that purpose in the hall, and each
man having done this went in and sat
where he pleased and ate and drank as
he would. Over 100 people often dined
at the earl's expense on these occasions.

Earl FitzwiIliam was power in York

county. and he supported his dignity with
much state. It used to be one of the
great sights o. Doncaster during the race

on to the course in yellow carriages
drawn each by four horses. He made
match annually between one Of his horses
and one Of Lord FaIu1outh's, to be run

THE DISADVANTAGE OF HEROISM

We remember the glories Of Sir Garnet

the soudan, who fell of his camel, and
from laureled heights Of action betook
himself to ingJorious bureau work; and
even ~Bobs." the eanny British general,
who doubtless learned the hero's lesson
we'll, and returned to seize his lauFels
sooner than they were wen. and who
wears them now with the modesty which
most becomes the man who brought the
South African war TO glorious and vie
torious finish, even he finds difficulty at
the present time to maintain his equi-
Iibrium upon the pedestal the British pub
lie set up for his accommodation. From
the days when the great Caesar went
down into the dust Of the Senate house,
when Bonaparte, the brilliant hero OF the
militant Empire, fell from the ether to
the sod, all heroes who have outliyed
the heroic hour have tumbIed headIong
from their lofty planes. Nor is the reason
far to seek. One OF the vital causes found
its vent in the sigh Of Alexander, be-
cause there were no more worlds 70 con-

great deed must go On to others or be

Another compelling cause OF the IN

It is too bad that it should be so, but the
