General Ludendorff wants vindication and
he needs it If any one ever did. The Kaiscr's
super-solder has become very meek and
humble since those days when he hurled his
legions into death the western front and
the odium of defeat and the knowledge of
his peoples hatred for him are preying on
his mind He has written book which he
promises will clear'him of responsibility for
the Tenton disaster and place it where il,
belongs. In other words, the super-man. in
his descent from the lofty places, has reached
tho squeeling stage, and is whining that
others compelled him 10 do those things
which made him all but the dictator for
Germany. The world is not interested in
his book more than in any other penny
dreadful and there will be no difficulty in
placing the blame when the proper time
comes.

Mrs. y. J. c.. Amherst.-Pysma lion
was legendary King OF the Island
Of Cyprus. Enamorcd OF "a beautiful
Ivory statue which he had made, he
requested Venus to give it life. His
statue bore him daughter. Paphos,
who, according TO some, became by
Apollo mother of Cinyras, the founder
Of Paphos Others told how Cinyras
married Mctharmc, daughter of Pyg-
malion. The love Of Pygmalion for his
statue is told by Ovid. According to
another version, Pygmalion conceived
a passion for the temple statue OF
Aphroditc herself. In modern times
the name of Galatca is often associa ted
with that of Pygmalion, but for this
there is no ancient authority.
