GREAT MEN MERELY HUMAN
We Are All Too Apt to Forget Those
Traits Which Link Them With
Their Fellows.

In spite Of the saying that no man
is hero to his own valet, Napoleon's
man servant has given US a reveren-
tial account of his master from his
own point of view, and now, simulta-
neously, there appear a life OF King
Edward by his chauffeur and a book
about Cecil Rhodes by one of his sew
en- private secretaries. King Edward
was not a history maker in the &C
cepted sense of the words, but
peacemaker. and the story of his life
Is anecdotal rather than epic. That
even kings are not exempt from en-
gine trouble and tire trouble and the
rest of the ills that flesh is heir TO
is seen in his chauhfeur's description.
Here we have Cecil Rhodes as he
was In life-in fatigue uniform, as 1t
were. When they told him that the
Dutch in Africa were salt of the earth.
he remarked: I'D like to know
where l come in!" He was not un-
mindful of his own merits. Creative
genius, that's what I've got" he would
say. IT'S a great thing to have"
But he was not of the number of
those who do not recognize an inf
nitely higher power than their own.
Let man be a Mohammedan, let
him be a Christian, or what you will
let him call himself what he likes, but
If he does not believe in a Supreme
Being he is no mamie is no better
than a dog"
All too soon the impersonal chroni-
Gle Of the era in which a strong man
dwelt, the era profoundly affected by
his indomitable will and resolute pur-
pose, forgets those natural traits
which link him with his fellows. We
behold him larger than life and his
vast shadow glory crowned" 1t is OF
peculiar interest to ordinary mortals
when he is restored to a truer per-
spective in relation to the universe,
so that he is seen no longer as q
demigod, but as man.

while the wire cloth completely battles
the mice even In badly infested
orchards.
When trees have attained the age Of
six or seven years they are usually be-
yond the period Of injury by rabbits
We then have to protect only against
mice. The short, galvanized wire cloth
cylinder, we'll imbedded in the soil
about the tree base, is quite sufficient
even in badly infected orchards.
In combination with soil or cinder
mounds, paper wrappers are tempo
rarily effective against rabbits, but
these protectors must be removed in
summer because of the fact that they
afford excellent hiding places for many
insect pests. A simple paper (even
newspaper) wrapper will serve well
for a single winter.
A high grade of building or Sheath
ing" paper is, Of course, preferable to
newspapers for tree protection. A
combination of building paper and
wire cloth is trustworthy protector
under all conditions. The paper may
be removed and the screen retained
during the growing season. The wire
discourages the mice and the paper in
winter is accepted by rabbits as an
invitation to look elsewhere for shell
ter and forage.
