once and must be thrown away, the
reason given being that death" cools

first water he finds, and as no one can

all away. Careful people to save trou-

True COurR9e.

True courage is cool and calm. The
bravest of men have the least OF a
brutal, bullying insolence and In the

most serene, pleasant and free. Rage,
we know, can make coward forget
himself and fight, but what is done in
fury and anger can never be placed to
