YOUR TEMPER

When two persons engage in an argument
or debate, the one who keeps his temper will
almost invariably get the best of it.
Why do the utterances of judge have SO
much weight with jury? Because he keeps
his temper The lawyers may be ever 80
vehement, pathetic or angry, but the judge
must be calm and cool, or he is not fit to be
a judge.
Boys and girls are men and women in min
iature, and youth is the time to form the
habits of after life.
"Think twice before you speak once" is
an excellent rule for your guidance. To keep
your temper you cannot afford to speak hast
lily.
To keep your temper is to be popular. If
you will notice in school and among your
piaymates you will see that the good-tema
pered boy or girl has more friends than the
smart boy and the rich girl put together.
Good temper always pays. In all the affairs
Of life, no matter how much quarreling or
fighting there may be, matters are finally set
tied by reasoning, and there can be no rea-
soning until good temper rules. So why not
let it rule in the beginning?
If for no other reason, you should keep
your temper on the score of good health.
Choleric people are rarely long-lived. Peo-
pie have been known to die in fit of anger,
while no one ever heard of death caused
by being too placid.
Nothing will preserve good looks to old age
like a good temper. The irritable. quarrel
some person is always wrinkied and distort-
ed in visage as well as mind, and the only
way to avoid these terrors of old age is to
keep your temper.

hotel to attend to the wants of his customers,
some of whom might possibly horrify him by
calling for soap and a towel
The last adieux were said, and the boys
got into the stage coach with Mr.. Sheldon,
who was to accompany them as far as Denver,
for he was so nearly restored to health that
he thought it best not to run the risk of
losing what he had gained by passing an
other winter east. The burros, now grown
fat and almost unmanageable, were led past
the coach by Manuel just as the horses were
starting, and the boys had time to shout
hurried injunctions for him to take good

blankets, and told them that they were in
great luck to find place on the floor.
"H any new mines are opened, shall
light out of here" he said, as the boys stop
ped to say goodbye; "but come to see me
wherever I am, and I'll promise to give you
as good accommodations as you had at the
Cliff, which is all any reasonable man could
ask for"
Don't have any wider cracks in the floor
than you had then, jerry" Kirk said, with
laugh, as he and Dory walked away, cor we

"Pn take good care of you," was the reply.
And then the landlord went inside his log

care of the obstinate little beasts until their
return.
Their gold-hunting was over, for that sea-
son at least, and it had been successful in
every way, as the young gold-hunters could
readily see when the coach turned on to the
plain, and the chimneys were visible just
above the "Kirk Sheldon mine," telling of the
wealth that was being taken out of the earth
where they had discovered it.
That they will seek as earnestly for the
riches of learning as they did for gold, there
is no doubt, and no better place can we leave
the young miners than where they are starting
once more for school,

is going to do There may be persons who
are boosters and fighters at the same time,
but the combination is certainly rare.
Perhaps you remember the story about the
French soldier who jocularly spoke of the
shower of sand cast by cannonbaH on the
dispatch he had written as "his blotting
paper" If you did you must have admired
his coolness as much as Napoleon, who stood
by.
A parallel case is that of the general who
put a lieutenant under arrest, not because
he pulled pistol on him, but because it did
not go off.
"I will punish you for not keeping your
firearms in good order," said the general, cool
ly.
And as he walked away, the lieutenant must
have felt exceedingly cheap.
It is not alone in war that a good temper
IA requisite The cool, self-balanced man is al
ways the successful man in business To act
on impulse is to act wrongly nine times out
of ten. It rarely takes more than few min
utes to inquire into details and look at all sides
of question before coming to decision,
and, as rule, it saves hours and perhaps days
of after vexation.
The man who loses his temper is not always
in the wrong, but, to the onlooker. he always
appears to be wrong.
