Courage Not Needed.

The greater part of the courage that
is needed in the world is not of an he
role kind. Courage may be displayed
in every day life as well as in historic
fields of action. There needs, for ex-
ample, the common courage to be hon.
est, the courage to resist temptation,
the courage to speak the truth, the
courage to be what we really are, and
not to pretend to be what we are not,
the courage to live honestly within our
means.-Smiles.

the electric lights that can be turned
up or down. Make little green silk
bag and fasten it over the incandes-
cent bulb and it will give a good but
subdued and harmless light.
