the person who displays it. AS a matter
of fact, it is often to a very great extent
involuntary, and no one is more angry at
it than the bad tempered person himself.

with bad temper or has acquired one
from habit. or has been visited with one

at least try TO control it. But his friends
should also bear in mind that bad temper

sympathized with-not an offense to be
punished. -[New York Ledger
