A Hint from the Japanese.

The japanese have some very true
and excellent sayings. One of these is
to the effect that anger is a sign of ill
breeding. If they see a man who has
lost control of his temper they pity or
despise him, and always consider his
anger an evidence of bad and
rudeness. Naturally a people of good
spirits and smooth tempers, they do not
tolerate or excuse displays of anger.
The japanese are in this an example
for us, for, with all our boosted pro-
gress, we have not yet learned to fully
control our tempers. Yet that we re-
cognize the truth of what the Japanese
say is evident from the remarks we
hear almost every day. Not long ago
two lawyers were bitterly opposing one
another in an important suit, and after
ward some of the spectators were COM
pairing the two men.
(Which do you think had the better
of it," asked one. "The little man"
was the answer, because he succeeded
in making the other angry" So, even
from the everyday point of view, anger
is looked upon as a weakness, and the
man who can keep control of himself is
thought to have an advantage. 1t is
true, too, and whoever it be that gives
us the warning, japanese or fellow cit
izen, it is one which we would do well
to think over.
1t is quite as easy to be in good tenn
per as bad if we persist in it. First at
tempts to be cheerful and kindly in the
face of annoyance may not be altogether
successful, but it is always easier the
second and third times. Temperance is
an excellent thing for tempers, and to
remind ourselves that anger is a sign
both of weakness and rudeness will help
us to keep it back. Selected.

"1f YOU refer to your scheme to

rcsolutely and not mincing words, az

1t was a hard blow and made Frye
wincc, FOR it was the first time he had
ever been openly called q villain, but
he made no protest. Instead, he ST.

tone, and putting OH his hat he left
the office.
In Il week Albert had his office fitted
up, and then he presented himself to
John Mason, and after that he not only
had all the responsibility thrust upon
him that he was able to assume, but
he no longer felt himself in the posi-

Chicago Athletic association, where

Inability to regulate the contests with

the fact that various organizations at

the ban being placed on the pugilists.

COFFIN COURT MARTIAL.
Nevada Boy Seems to Have Hazed
Kimbrough Alone.

Annapolis, Dec. H.-Lieutenant Com
mander William K. Harrison, judge ad-
vocaGe of the court-martial that will
convene at the naval academy tOmor-
row morning for the trial Of Midship-
man Trenmor Coffin, Jr.. Of Carson
City, New, on the charge Of haZing
Midshipman Jordan P. Kimbrough OF
Germantown, Tenn, today served the
charge upon the accused midshipman
The court will convene at 10 o'clock in
the morning and IL is thought that the
trial of Coffin will take about two
days.
It has become known that Midship-
man Kimbrough has testified before the
board of officers which is investigating
existing conditions as to hazing at the
academy since the hazing occurred, but
the nature of his testimony has not
been disclosed by the officials. It is
understood, however, that no midship-
man other than Coffin was implicated
in the hazing of Kimbrough.
Midshipman Coffin has engaged At
torney Elisha S. Theall OF Washington
as civilian counsel.
