Getting Angry
Is Bad Form
of Dissipation

to IL is worry. Why. the man who gets
drunk every Saturday night, fool that
he is, is model of temperance along
side of the man or woman who wor-
ries, or who is always getting mad
tionally, because getting angry is
about as close to madness or insanity
anything | can imagine. 1t never
does you any good to get angry. Self
control is the mark of strength and
manhood. Even in fight. il is a mis-
take to get angry. You might say that
if one were not angry he would not
fight.
Well. the right thing to do is to
keep out of a fight. unless it happens
to be your business. The trouble is
that if you get angry you are likely
to get the worst of it. 1t sometimes
happens that one is forced into a fight
against his desire, but even then he
can only fight effectively if he keeps
his head and strict self-control.
Brains count in fighting the same as
elsewhere. Why. i'm a boxing bout, the
man who gels angry will really whip
himself. 1t is favorite plan of some
boxers to try and nettle their oppo-

husband, and a good husband is gen.
orally the one who is obeyed. A good
child obeys his father right or
wrong. And a good patriot is for his
country right or wreng. That isn't
ChTistianity-if there is any such
thing-but it's good patriotism. A
good horse always obeys his master.

Yes, I guess the easiest way to be
good is to be Obedient. A rebel is
always bad-unless he wins. George
Washington won. So George was a
good man. He didn't obey, to be sure,
but he got away with it. The other
fellow had to obey. So positions
changed and George became master
instead of servant. If he hadn't won
he would have been hung as a traitor
to John Bull.
So be good. Slaves, obey your
