reception of honors unequalled in
the history of Britain, and probably
in that of the world. These honors,
contributed by many nations were
achieved after seven years warfare
and at the age of As
Dauntless Wellington.
Landing in Portugal in 1908 as
the Hon. Sir Arthur Wellesley, the
victory of Talavera in the following
year saw him raised to the peerage
as Baron Douro and Viscount We'll
lington.
Early in 1912 he was advanced to
an earldom and granted a pension
of $4,000 a year. A few months
later he was promoted marques
and given 100000.
Returning to England in 1914, he
was created Duke of Wellington
and given further grant of $780,
600. Meanwhile, Spain and Portu-
gal. the scene of his exploits, had
united to do him honor. OF the
former kingdom he became Duke of
Ctudad Rodrigo and a grandee of
the first class, and was presented
With fine estate.
Portugal hailed him as Duke Of
Vitteria, Marques of Torres We
dras and Count of Vimiera. After
Waterloo the British parliament
purchased for the duke the estate
of Stathtieldsaye, at cost of ST.
100000.
The King of the Netherlands,
grateful for restoration to his
throne, created tine victor Prince of
Waterloo and presented him with
large estates. Other distinctions
included the orders of the Garter
and the Golden Fleece. and the rank
of field marshal in eight European
armies.
Marlborough is remembered as
the only other British general to
attain the rank Of duke-won in the
War Of the Spanish Succession.

Woodstock, and a pension of $4,000

Big Rewards for Winning Great Battles

of many illustrious names.
In no quarter of the world have
these titles been won so frequently

parently, that something more was
due to his memory, for his son

Fowls.
At later date Sir George Har-
ris won peerage for his conquest
of Mysore. The Sikh wars of the
early forties of the last century,
resulting in the annexation of the
Punjab, brought viscounties to Sir
Hugh CROUCH, the British COM
mander, and to Sir Henry Har-
dinge, the governor general. Har-
dinge, a Peninsular hero, and
grandfather of the present viceroy,
showed fine spirit by accepting

was granted the rank of a baronets

HISTORY provides many prec-
edents for the handsome re-
wards which, we may be
sure, will be accorded their generals
by the Balkan states.
The Triumph" the highest hon
or known to the Romans, was not
lightly given. The victor must have
attained certain rank: the war,
definitely concluded, must have eff
fected the extension of the state
boundaries; at least 5000 of the
enemy must have been slain.
Granted these conditions, the
streets were dressed with garlands
and amid applauding crowds drove
the general, seated in fourhorse
chariot ROBBED in purple and gold
and crowned with laurel he held in
his right hand a laurel branch and
in his left an ivory sceptre.
The records of modern warfare
contain nothing more romantic
than the story of Napoleon's mar
shals. Men Of the humblest birth,
they joined the French army as
privates. Yet by virtue of genius
which stiu dazzles the world, they
conquered Europe.
Napoleon whose success was
largely their creation. was prompt
and lavish in his rewards. Prince

When the air is Winter own
What a joy to be alone,
Far from everything that S stufy
Far from jangling sounds and jars.
Far from steaming subway cars,

The doctors have long been tell
ing us that we eat too mUch-there
are very few who take the oppo-
site view-but as to sleep they have
generally gratified our own propen-
stiles by assuring us that eight
hours out Of every twenty four are
not too much.
Mr.. Edison stoutly combats this,
and he backs up his assertion that
we sleep about twice too long, by
additional examples from his own
family, who, it seems. have come
around to his opinion, and are now
satisfied and thriving on four or
five hours sleep per day.
OF course, no man can set rules
on such a subject that all others
may safely follow. Very much de-
ponds upon the makeup of the in
dividual, and 1t is significant that
persons of great mental activity
usually sleep less than those whose
brains are not so rich. or so well
developed. Napoleon and Frederick
the Great got along with three or
four hours sleep a day, and Edi-
son, 1t appears. averages even less.
But in all these cases the sleep is
as perfect as it is brief. There are
no dreams, no restlessness, while
it lasts. 1t is the pure essence of
absolute rest. Probably those mys-
FERROUS readjustments that go on
among the molecules of the brain
and the body during sleep are made
more rapidly and more thoroughly
in profound slumber than when the
rest is broken.
1t follows that everybody ought
to try to acquire the ability to
sleep quickly and soundly. The
