PATRIOTS GET POOR REWARD
British Soldiers Who Won High Dis
tinction Have Right to Com
plain of Ingratitude.

Attention has been directed to the
hard case of men who won distinction
in the great war, and seem to have
been forgotten, by two dramatic Incl
dents. One is the public statement by
Sir Douglas Haig that demobilized
officer who won the v. c., D. S. o.,
and M. c., is at present trudging the
streets of London in search of work.
The other is the announcement that
Mr.. Arthur Richings has rejoined the
Cardiff police force as an ordinary
constable, Notwithstanding the fact
that he has just relinquished the army
rank of lieutenant colonel
The latter's record is an astounding
one. He was promoted second lieu
tenant on the field, and his subsequent
promotions were astonishingly rapid.
Mentioned in dispatches three times,
he wears six wound stripes the Mons
Star, the Croix de Guerre with
palms,, the Military Cross, and is also
Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
Perhaps one may be .pardoned for
questioning whether there is not some
thing wrong with an army admins
tration which allows man with an
active service record like that to dis
appear into the decent obscurity of a
police constable's tunic. - Montreal

PROVIDENCE NOT TO BLAME
Causes of Mankind's Good or Bad For
tune Traced by Philosopher to
Human Qualities.

l have always been of the opinion
that the complaints against providence
have been ill-grounded, and that the
good or bad qualities of men are the
causes of their good or bad fortune
more than what is generally imagined.
There are no doubt Instances to the
contrary, and pretty numerous ones,
too; but few in comparison to the in
stances we have of right distribution
Of prosperity and adversely; nor. in
deed could 1t be otherwise from the
common course of human affairs. To
be endowed with benevolent DISPOSE
ton and to love others will almost in-
fallibly procure love and esteem, which
Is the chief circumstance in life and
facilitates every enterprise and un-
dertaking besides the satisfaction that
Immediately results from it. The case
Is much the same with the other vir-
tues. Prosperity is naturally. though
not necessarily, attached TO virtue and
merit; and adversely, i'm like manner,
to vice and folly.-David Hume.

Doing Him a Favor.

When my cousin, newly commits
stoned, was sent to Camp Grant he
found himself in command of lot of
draft men drawn mainly from our

One day after the man had been
in camp only a week or so he ran
breathlessly up to my cousin, who was

YOUNG HEROES AT OXFORD
Many Customs and Traditions of the
University Are Likely to Seem
Tame to Them

The returning hero fresh from battle
fields, will no longer rush to the
cricket fields and the river al Oxford
with the zest of young barbarans at
their play, observes a writer in the
Nation Uondon). To one who may
wear the ribbon of the Military Cross
or the d. s. O., the position of his col
lege boat in the Fights can no longer
seem the one matter of life and death,
and even the halo Of q goal shines
with diminished glory.
So, too, in lesser pursuits. How
shall he dwell upon the squabbles of
compartments in ancient Greece, when
he himself has motored from Saloniki
to Athens in day, and on to Sparta
in the next? Or what will he feel
when questioned on his fading mem
cries of the irregular verbs? Probably
most public school boys are haunted
to old age by a dream-a terrible
nightmare-of being put on" by the
old headmaster when they have not
taken the trouble to prepare line of
the passage. 1t makes no difference
that they are more than so and the
headmaster has long been dead. The
horror of the situation remains APP
palling, and the dream is far more
frequent than any of Freud's mag
mary perversions.
The feeling of the soldier returning
to the class and lecture room will be
much the same, with sense of fulfil
ity added. For, indeed, it is imposSi-
BILE to go back in life and second child
hood Is not like the first. Little vic
tins play regardless Of their doom,
but not men who have known what
doom can do.

vooDoo WORSHIP IN HAITI
Strange Beliefs Which Christianity
and Civilization Have Been un-
able to Stamp Out.

VoOdooiSm, or vOodoo, that strange
worship that comes down from the ma
tive customs of West Africa, is still
practiced to great extent in Haiti,
where they believe that the body has
two spirits-a good one that returns to
Africa, and duppy, who remains in
the vicinity Of the dead. These dup
pies" are considered to be very dam
gerous and in order to drive then;
away from the house where a death
has occurred. all standing water is
thrown out, and food and rum provid-
ed to propitiate the 'duppy" and per-
suade it to accompany the good spirit
on Its journey,
Puppies are supposed to nave
solid bodies instead of ghostly ones,
and so the doors and. windows, and
even cracks in the house are stuffed
up to keep them out.
Voodooism. unfortunately goes much
farther than this belief. and the use
of all kinds of charms, the worship
OF a certain sacred green snake. and
the melting and inflaming of the ne
groes to emotional heights by strange
ceremonies continues in Haiti even
now. At the close of voodoo meet
ing when the audience is excited to a
wild hysteria dance called the 'foilo-
ichi" is performed which ends in a
wild orgy, an exchange states. In all
these wild ceremonies and dances, a
drum is the instrument used, its rhylh-
mic throbbing tending to excite those
who hear it. Indeed, from time i'm
memorial drums have been used for
this purpose, the nerves of even the
most civilized and self-contained per-
sons responding almost Immediately
