A Wise Answer. :

1t takes but an ordinary man to re
turn an angry answer to an insult. The
extraordinary man is he who, under
such circumstances, holds himself SO
well under control that he controls his
adversary also.
Persia once possessed such a man,
and was clear-sighted enough to make
him a judge. He was the chief judge
Of Bagdad In the reign of the Calf
Hadee, and his name was Aboo Yu-
suph. He was very wise man, for he
knew his own deficiencies, and was ac-
tually sometimes in doubt as to wheth-
er he possessed sufficient wisdom to
give just decision in cases peculiarly
shrouded in mystery.
1t Is related Of him that on one occa.
sion, after patient investigation of
facts, he decided that he had not suffi-
cient knowledge to pronounce on the
case before him. There was In his
presence II pert courtier, one of those
