which will enable the major part of a
force to elude a superior enemy involves
a courage. discipline and willingness to
sacrifice oneself greater thar is usually
required. To the soldiers of the victorious
army naturally goes the palm of victory,
but one is inclined to reserve the greenef
who give themselves as a willing sacri-
flee. foredoomed n ~foreknowing, that
their comrades may be saved.
A dispatch from London tells how tive
companies of Royal ~Inniskilling Fusiliers,
one of the Irish regiments in the British
divisions that have been retiring from
Serbia, gallantly made this sacrifice. Ire
mendously o~utnumbered by the Bulgarian
forces. without artillery support, they
still held a ridge until the rest of the
British forces had a chance to retire and
prepare a new defensive position. Hardly
one OF the Irishlnen escaped. But they
did not fall until they had done their
work and once more shown the mettle of
the race from which they came.

DE Orison SWEET Marden In Pictorial Re-

All this Supersensitiveness, %ynes
and morbid self-depreciation are really
exaggerated forms of self-conscious-
ness. And while self-consciousness is
TEEN. yet it causes ones own person
aiity to o~Nershadow everything else. A
sensitive person feels that, whatever
she does, wherever she goes, or what
ever she says. she is the center of OBJ
servatlon. and this is morbid self
consciousness. She imagines that peo-
pie are criticizing her movements,
making fun at her expense, or analyz-
ing her. picking her to pieces, when
they are probably not thinking of her
at all. She does not realize that other
people are too busy and too much in
terested In themselves and in their
own affairs to devote to her any of
their time beyond what is absolutely
necessary. When she thinks they are
making remarks about her, putting
Sights upon her, or trying to hold her
up to ridicule of others. they may not
even be conscious of her presence.
The great majority Of people. no
matter how rough in name or bear
ing. are kind hearted, and would much
rather help than hinder a fellow be-
ing; besides. they have all they can
do to attend to their own affairs. and
nave no time to spend in infinitely an
alyzing the nature and feelings Of those
whom they meet in the course Of their
daily business. In the pussy world of
affairs. it is give and take. touch and
go. and those who expect to get on
must rid themselves of abnormal SEN
sitiveness. If they do not. hey doom
themselves to ~unhappiness nd failure.
The great trouble with '%ersensitive
people is that they see other people,
and other peoples opinions. in heroic
proportions. and their own judgment
and themselves as very much less than
life size" They see double when
they look at others. and as through a
reducing glass when they look at
themselves. They can not give any
reason for this. There isn't amy rea-
son. That is the silly part of the whole
thing. Meanwhile they go on making
trouble for themselves. and Oftentimes
for those who love them and would, if
they could. ave them from suffering.
