"An officer of flying status, but
who for some reason does not fly, is
called a penguin This name is also
applied to a type OF trailing machine
which does not rise from the ground.
An officer in the flying service with

er an Australian bird. A pilot is
generally called a 'quirk.' A flight
is called a flip and if it is a distin-
guished failure il is called wash

is to 'spikebozzle' or bring down a

GREAT, BUT NOT so CREDITED
Many of the Most llIustrious Men
Have Not Been Given This
Honor Title.

Many of the most illustrious men
whom all the world knows as great
have not obtained the honor of having
the adjective affixed to their names,
says James Bryce in the Youths Com
panion. The easiest way of showing
this is to set down list Of 20 of the
most famous men of action. l give the
list following, not as better than 9TH
ers that might be framed, but merely
as sufficient for the purposes of Illus
tration:
Percles, Hannibal, julius Caesar,
Emperor Augustus, Emperor Trajan,
Pope Gregory VII, William the Con-
queror, Sultan Saladin, Emperor Fred
erick II, DR.. Martin Luther, Ignatius
Loyola, Emperor Charles V, Cardinal
Richelleu, Oliver Cromwell, George
Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte,
Abraham Lincoln, Joseph Mazzini,
Cavour, Bismarck.
Several of the above, notably julius
Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte, stand
Mt least as high as any in the list of
those to whom the epithet of great"
has become attached in common
speech-perhaps higher. Taken as a
whole, these 20 show a higher aver
age. There are none of these 20 Of
whom we do not feel that If we had
known them they would have struck us
as rising far above common humanity
either in width of mind or intensity of
feeling or in energy of will, or in all
these things combined.

Our happiness In this world depends
upon the affections we are able to in
spire. We need the regard and love
Of fellow beings, the sunshine OF con-
genial companionship and the warm
hand-clasp Of fellowship. These are
sought by all. Some make friends
easily and quickly, while others can
count their numbers on the fingers OF
one hand. True and lasting friend
ship viii follow kindly deeds. The
man made the beneficiary OF some kind
act will love the benefactor. Hence
deeds that seem to entail sacrifice are
often the source OF much genuine hap
pinUss. Money spent ia an effort to
benefit individuals less fortunate than
ourselves is we'll spent and In almost
every case will yield interest that can
not be computed by the use OF figures.
The fruit Of such deeds Is kind words,
mothers blessings, fathers, apprecia
ton, and boys, and girls admiration.
