TWO VARIETIES OF HEROES
One Who Admits He Is of Make Be-
Iieve Glass, Tells of Life in
the Trenches.

There are real heroes and make be-
lieve heroes; and they are not always
easily distinguishable. l do not hide
from myself that l belong to the make
believes. And yet, it is remarkable
that l did not find the second week
at the front as terrible as the first. 1t
is not as bad there as it seems, says
writer in the Atlantic.
When once you get accustomed to
the idea that you may be dead in a
day, or in an hour, or in minute, and
when you are clear as to your future,
your mood Is relieved from constant
depression. Involuntarily you become
kind and helpful to those about you,
you do not get vexed over trif1es, you
are ready to make all sorts of sacrt-
fees.
Of course, if, in the midst of such
a condition, a grenade suddenly drops
into your trench, If you see three or
four of your comrades getting killed,
your misery returns, no matter how
good an outward appearance you may
keep up. At least for a while.
But then again the thought comes
that getting wounded means rest and
safety, and good care. And death?
that is still less terrible. One boast
of reaching ones destination along the
shortest road. Is not death every
ones final destination? ?-Atlantic.

SAVED Her JEWELS
Former Russian Czarina Sent
Gems to Germany.
Treasure Estimated to Be Worth $780,,
100000 Kept Out of Hands of the
RevoIutionists.

The Russian royal jewels, including
the gems that incrusted the Imperial
Romanoff crown, are safe from the
democratic hands of the new rulers In
Petrograd With q woman's intuitive
knowledge of trouble ahead, the for
mer czarina had them tucked away in
safe deposit vault in her ancestral
city of Darmstadt. Germany, right at
the beginning of the war.
And there they will remain until Mr..
and Mrs. Romanoff claim them again,
saws the New York Tribune.
The story of the Russian royal jew
els is told in the Chronicle by writer
who says that the former cZarlna
was largely responsible for the war, in
that she assured her German friends
and relatives that Russia would not be
a formidable antagonist. She proceed
ID to prove this antebellum prediction
by pro-German intrigue which ended
With the revolution and the overthrow
of the Romanoff dynasty.
But the former czarina, who, before
her marriage was Princess Alexandra
Alice of Hesse, had no illusions about
Germany. Accordingly, she packed up
the family jewels in the summer OF
1914, when she saw the international
war clouds appear, and sent them IN
charge of trusted messengers to her
brother, the grand duke of Hesse, for
safe keeping till peace was restored.
The royal emissaries travelled by the
of N;,,Ja nd nd SIT-oIpn Thpv
reached their destination before the
mobilization of the Russian army was
complete.
The tale of the czarina's German
forehandedness in the matter of saving
the family gems is said to have been
revealed by members of the Russian
commission, who visited New York
city recently.
A New York society woman had her
eye peeled for bargains in royal jew
elry and approached members OF the
commission on the subject of purchas-
ing a string of rare pearls which sh9
had seen the former cZarina wear at
4 fashionable European resort some
years ago She was told that she would
have to talk to Mrs. Romanoff or her
brother, the grand duke of Hesse.
Ivan Narodny, Russian business
man and writer of New York, cor
roborated the article in the Chronicle.
Mr.. Narodny said it was impossible to
place an exact value on the royal Jew
| els, but estimated that they ought to
bring close to $1O2.OOOO0O in the mar
ket He said they were of far greater
| intrinsic value than the historic jewels
| deposited in the Kremlin, which are
| safe.
The disappearance of the royal jew
els became known about month after
| the revolution, when the provisional
governments appraisers were taking
an inventory of the Hermitage, one of
| the structures of the winter palace,
where the treasures were supposed to
| be kept, according to Mr.. Narodny.
"When the vaults of the Hermitage
were opened the Jewel boxes were

Find Real ElYinq Dragon.

What is said to be the only reptile
that can fly has been recently discov-
cred In BOrneo. This creature is liz.
ard about ten inches long, its body
brilliantly coloTed. 1t does not have
wings in the usual understanding of
the term, but its ribs. widely extended,
enable the lizard to soar in much the
same way that an airplane or bird
drifts on a current of air. These fly
ing lizards commonly travel In swarmi,
frequenting the deepest forests, says
an exchange. Seen at distance they
are said to look much like birds, with
their brilliantly hued bodies. Science
has not as yet hit upon name for the
newly discovered specie Of reptile, but
has called it the flying dragon. which
seems an excellent name, everything
considered.

Way of
Suffering
BY REV. DR.. E. P. WEST
Baptist Pastor
Houston. Texas

And as he passed by, he saw man
blind from his birth. And his disciples
asked him, saying Rabbi, who sinned,
this man or his parents, that he should
be born blind? Jesus answered: Neither
did this man sin, nor his parents; but
that the works Of God should be made
manifest in him."-John :1-3.
The supreme doctrine Of Christianity
Is undoubtedly the infinite love and d.
vine compassion of God as revealed in
his dear Son. Now. Christian thinkers
feel the painfulness Of pain and recog-
nize the seeming contradiction to uni
versal benevolences in human suffer
ing, quite as frankly and poignantly as
the most cynical skeptic. Moreover, the
Christian faces the problems involved
with knowledge and candor, admitting
the mystery, acknowledging the alb
sence of dogmatic answers to the
questions raised by suffering, and yet
urging an Interpretation as scientific,
philosophical and satisfying as unbelief
has ever displayed.
Since God Is the divine father, the
sufferings of his children are not to be
regarded as penal. All the guilt and
penalty Of sin was laid upon Jesus and
he put them away forever. We may
talk about chastisement, or correction,
for our father deals with us as with
sons; or we may speak of reaping the
results of mistakes and sins dropped as
seeds in life's f1Irrow in former wears !;
or we may have to bear the conse-
Quences of the sins Of others, but do
not tarE Of God Furnishing his children.
If God should punish us for our sins,
1t would seem that the sufferings Of
Christ were incomplete and the heal
Ing of his stripes inadequate for our
peace.

you always a pastor indeed-"a good
shepherd that feedeth the flock"
good shepherd that giveth his life for
the Sheep" that thinks, studies, medi-
tates, watches, prays, loves, lives, is

for the souls of men. 1 beseech you
therefore by the mercies of God, 1 be-
seech you by the name and blood of
him that died for us, that you love
your people with a pure heart fervent-
ly. l beseech you by the love of Christ
that you seek that which is lost, bring
back that which is gone astray, bind
up that which is broken, and strength
en- that which is sick, and pray for
them always, without ceasing, before

BALLET GIRLS AIDED BY WAR
New Russian Government Makes 1t
Possible for Dancers to Enter
Learned Professions.

Russian ballet girls are being per
mitted to enter the learned profes-
sions. A special commission to pre-
pare reforms in the former imperial"
now state, theaters, has pronounced
for abolition of the system under
which a ballet pupil could never be
anything but a ballet dancer.
At the age of nine years many girls
enter the ballet school of the Marin
sky theater and spent their childhood
learning to dance, receiving scarcely
any general education, and were or
dered to go on the ballet stage. If
they refused they were excluded from
all except the lowest occupations.
In the future, girls who have passed
through the ballet school will be con-
sidered as having received a complete
six-class secondary schooling. and will
thus be qualified to ,matriculate in a
woman's university and become doc
tors, lawyers, engineers and -techni-
clans,

God Revealed Through Pain.

The inmost, utmost things of God are
revealed through pain. Affiiction is the
breath of the finer spirit of life. How
does God manifest his finest work In
patience? He takes young life, full of
hope and promise, and shuts 1t In
small room to linger through a long
battle with ravaging disease, and
makes that room a shrine where
earth's sorrowing hearts find consola-
ton through a great, rich, joyous, un-
complaining, transigured life of holy
character. How does God manifest his
works of human tenderness? He
breathes the dream of parenthood into
two hearts that beat as one. The child
comes to gladden. all their days, but
alas, she goes-and leaves grief's fiery
footprints behind. Then the Crittenden
rescue homes spring up to girdle the
earth with the glory of human compass
sion. How does God manifest his great
work in service2 He draws the curtain
and reveals the sordidness of sin and
the blight of ignorance, crushing out
the higher capabilities Of a human
race, to the eyes of a passionate
Scotsman. David Livingstone lives,
loves and suffers in Africa-but his
grave becomes the cornerstone upon
which rests the temple of hope for
benighted people. How does God man
ifest his august work of sacrifice? He
lifts cross on lonely hill and heaven
and earth stand still in awe and rever-
ence, while his dear Son climbs it's
summit and pours out his life as an
offering for peace. And who doubts
that in this awful present hour God is
pointing America to the cross of sac
rifice? We must learn to bear the ma
tiOnal cross before we are worthy to
wear the crown of national honor. Un-
speakable is the sacrifice we are
called upon to make now in the world
struggle for justice, equality, liberty
and peace, but the making of such sac
rif1ce marks our people as worthy OF
the trust of power that God has given
us. Through the darkness Of terrible
affliction we are sure to pass, but the
Jubilee of triumph shall finally be our
song.
My friends, God is not interested in
giving us easy and comfortable lives,
individually or nationally. He is con-
cerned to make us large and compre-
hensive souls. Affliction is heavens
challenge to us to try the resources of
our spirit, even while we give God his
chance to manifest finer works than
are seen in the starry armament or the
marvels of mountains. Draw not back,
therefore, from the darkness, for
The dark hath many dear avails;
The dark distills divinest dews;
The dark is rich with nightingales,
With dreams, and with the heavenly
