Courage.

The swapping turtle, according to
Emerson, will seize stick and hold
It II his head is cut on: break the
eggs of the young and before his eyes
are open he will bite fiercely; 80 he
will bite before he is born and after
he is dead: and similar courage the
philosopher observes in wasps. ants
and cocks. A step higher Is the cour-
age of the simid hen ruffing her feath-
ers and attacking dog in protection
Of her young. When animal and
moral courage combine in q great
need. as at Thermopylae. or on the
Titanic. they inspire us always. What
we need oftenest, however. is the cour-
age to meet the requirements Of every
day; to defy convention. or to obey It;
to think alone, or to submit; to be
willingly poor; to discuss science and
poetry and mans welfare In q frivol-
GUS and luxury-loving company.-Col-
