Gengral Crowder redlizés that there i euch & thing as wasting good time and effort, and he calls the attention of President Zayas and the congress of Cube to that fact in unmistakable terms ‘when he gives them to understand that there must be 2 change in the conduct of affairs in that republic and -that he is not satisfied with the efforts that are being: made to bring it about. General Crowder was sent to Cuba by the government for the parpose of giving Cubarl ‘government such help as the ons called for that it might be 1if! out of its difficulties and the Teécessity of this coumtry intervefiing prevehted. It is most unfortunate that -conditions there are much that #t has not procseded to make the most of his assistance énd service.

It the writer might be allowed to give his personal testimony it would be the op- portunity of bumping Up against mem who know so much. more than fre does has been the chiéf asset of his vacation. The passion fo be in the Hme-light and to attract attention is so strong that it makes one bold #nd daring. People who are bold and daring a® not al- ways heroic. The end in view shows the difference between heroism and bold- ness. The man who, at the risk of his own life, plunges into a burning build- ing or into deep water, to save somebody, doesn’t do it to be talked about, but be- cause of the value he puts on human lite. Such a man is a hero. But the man who jumps from Brooklyn bridge, or goes over Niagara Falls in a barrel, is simply a bold man, because he does it for money and notoriety. iys who row out from the shore to get into the wake of a big boat aré not necessarilf brave lads, but they do it because they love the excitemeént and the commotion it creates on the boat. For the moment they hold the center of theé stage. The girl ‘paints her lips, powders her nose, and peneils her eyebrows, not because she thinks she deceives anybody, but because shé wants to attract attention; it is the love of the lime-light. Many are willing to run risks if they can only 'be stared at’ and talked about. The main factor in the performance of any . deed is self-assurance. In fact, the deed is already half done when one guard. 3 Thére has been so little' general in- and for so doing he was jeered at as a “little pious sissy.” Which of the two was the real hero? We sometimes mis- take foolhardy stunts for real bravery. Genuine courage never allows itself to risk life and limb except by those whose knowledge of ¢courage s immature. A | little, fellow was once dared by his thoughtless companions to swim out to a certain rock from the shore. He was afraid to do It, but being still more afrald of being called a coward, he tried it, but soon his strength began to waver, and his courage fail, then he lost his nerve, and began to flounder. His companions tried to save him, but he was gone before they could reach him, How many precious young lives are lost no to such dangerous proposuls! 'FAMOUS NICKNAMES “Fhe Great Commener.” The . nickname, “The Great Common- er” is one that has beéen applied to a number of prominent men, very much of the same caliber and possessing the same Wu. but history polnts to lliam Pitt, the English statesman, the first of that name, as being the one to witom it was originally applied. He was because they have not Tearned to say [ fully believes he can do it, and is will- ing to put forth the necessary exertion. We always fall {f we never rise abeve the fear that we are going to fail. Fear smites the attempt to do a thing between | both eyes. When the schoolboy caves in before the bug-bear of a hard lesson ana says: “L can’t get that lesson and theére's no use trying” the presumption is that he won't get it simply becausé he doesn’t General Crowder doesn’t make threat of intervention by this govern- ment. He does however say that “Un- less. congress before September 9 acts upon the five measures I have suggested for the purification of the administra- tion, I will abandon my misslon to Cuba and -submit a fina} report to the Wash-~ ington ‘government.” 2 into] The nickname, €r,” was also applied to Willi: Bwart | their bins before the strike started, plus Gladstone many ye:m after “Tm the two months' supply in the hdnds 75 ye given to Pitt, and in mxtm:‘f,"her;‘t-tflde‘::r‘;lmml:;uh been given to Joh uiney Adams, fous that prot less than aver- ” .
