Modern Ideas Of Greatness.

When we ask what 1t is that we
mOderns deem to constitute greatness
among the men of our own or a COM
paratively recent time, we feel that
the standard has somewhat changed.
We set less store by mOnarchs, for
they do not fill the stage Of the world
as they once did, although some of
them have still large opportunities
for doing good or harm. Neither do
we give quite such special honor to
military glory as former ages did.
Nevertheless, the essential qualities
that dazzle the eyes Of man may be
still the same. / speak chiefly Of the
greatness that consists In action, for
The ruler, the statesman and the war

Learn Value of Men.

In one of the chapters of "a Student
In Arms" by Donald Hankey, a volun-
teer In the English army at the begin
ming Of this war, this authority says :
ION the whole, though, actual expert
ence Of war brings the best men to the
fore, and the best qualities of the av-
erage man. officers and men are
welded into closer comradeship by
dangers and discomforts shared. They
learn to trust each other and to look
for the essential qualities rather than
for the accidental graces. One learns
to love men for their great hearts,
their pluck, their indomitable spirits.
their irrepressible humor, their readi-
ness to shoulder weaker brothers
burden in addition to their own. One
sees men as God sees them, apart
from externals such as manner and in
tonatiOn. A night In bombing party
shows you Jim Smith as a man Of
splendid courage. A shortage of ra-
tiOns reveals his wonderful unselfish-
ness. One danger and discomfort af-
ter another you share in common un-
til you love him as brother. Out
there, If anyone dared to remind you
that Jim was only a fireman while you
were bank clerk, you would give him
one in the eye to go on with. You
have learned to know man when you
see one and to value him."

and down they went, several hundred
feet into the earth.
AT the first level the rich mans son
stepped off the cage and peered
through the dimly lit streets of the
underneath. Then he said:
Men, l am John ID. Rockefeller, Jr
What seems to be the trouble out
here?"
They were dumfounded, helpless.
Then he walked with his men into
the dark places with his face taking
on gOOdly veneer of black dust. He
looked his men straight in the eye
firmly but kindly. and asked them what
they thought could be done or should
be done to better conditions. He didn't
patrOnize, apologize, strut or talk
loudly.
So he walked, in the earth, with his
men who had hated his name.
When he came up to the top of the
world again he walked down the min
ing town street to the Golden Bow
saloon. This was the only town In the
Rockefeller group that had a saloon.
He inquired for Tony, the barkeep.
Rockefeller shook hands with Tony,
while Tony's eyes all but jumped out
Of his head. Tony was disappointed.
There was no plug hat, no policeman.
no proud and naughty person before
him, no sour face, no overlooking bus
iness-just a pleasant, mild-mannered
and unafraid man.
John D., Jr, said he had heard Tony
was interested In him and he had
taken the trouble, which was no trou-
bic at all, to come and say hello and
wish him well, although doubtless
wishing to himself Tony would get
into some other business.
Down south of Trinidad, up high in
the hills where the fourflusher lasts
about second, Rockefeller sent
everybody back to Trinidad. He stayed
for the night-alOne. He rolled up In
miners blanket. The next morning
when we found him he was washing
his face In tin basin. Then he looked
out over the receding slopes of the low
er plateau and observed earnestly that
it truly was noble country.
We came into Walsenberg finally. In
the civil war some of the Bulgarian
miners placed a cannon on the noun
tain top and fired into the militia.
Just how many were killed was never

MEMORIALS FOR THEIR DEAD
Serbians -ver Keep Green the Mem.
ory OF Deceased Members of
Their Families.

1t Is not quite accurate to entitle
this ceremony funeral, for 1t is not
that. but we have in English no one
word or two words with which to ex-
press the meaning. In order to secure
complete accuracy, 1t would have been
necessary TO head this sketch with the
words, Ceremony Performed by a Ser
bian Family on the Anniversary of the
Death of One of Its Members" and no
newspaper copy reader would pass a
title like that. writes a correspondent.
1t Is the custom of the country to re-
member the dead on the anniversary of
death by a pilgrimage to the grave
yard, with all appropriate ceremonies.
morbid custom, and one that might
be productive of endless and needless
grief, according to our ideas, but the
Serbs are hard race and face their
sorrows without covering them. All of
the family files to the cemetery, ac-
companied by close friends and head
ed by priests. Flowers are laid on the
grave, prayers are offered and the
women weep. The virtues of the dead
are extolled and he is addressed and
apOstrOphized.
This part of the ceremony over, the
company sit down to a meal that they
have brought with them. The affair
takes on the aspect of some grave So
cial occasion. Wine is drunk and much
food is eaten. 1t is customary to tell
all the anecdotes and incidents relat.
Ing to the dead man that those present
can remember. Even bits Of the past
that have a humorous turn are not
barred. 1t Is In some sort bringing
forth of his whole memory and setting
him again before his people, brushing
aside the passing days that were hiding
the thoughts of him from view.
1t is interesting to speculate on the
meaning of this unusual practice, and
on the human tendency that gave 1t
birth and keeps 1t alive. 1t seems to
root In the old human dread Of being
forgotten completely. As these peo-
pie do 1T unto the dead, so they expect
their children and their relatives to do
unto them, and they cherish the custom
as fountain that will keep their own
memory green when their time comes.
