BRAVERY
BY JOSH BILLINGS

BY JOSH BILLINGS
True bravery il very eazy tew detekt,
for it IL az mulch part and parcel ov
mans every day life az hiz clothes il.
Everything that truly brave man duz
IL did from principle, not impulse, and
when no one sees him he IL Just az heroik
az he would be if he waz in the eyes of
the multitude
Thare IL crate deal ov bravery that liz
simply ornamental, and if it want for it's
spurs and cockade wouldn't amount tew
mulch.
1t IL not bravery to face what we kant
dodge, but it il true courage tew face all
things that are honest and dodge nothing.
True bravery exists amung the lowly
Just az mulch az amung the crate, and a
man really haZ no more right teW eXpekt
praise for his courage than he heZ for hiz
virtue.
1t often requires more bravery tew tell
the simple truth than il duz tew win
battle
He who fills to the brim the stashun in
life, whiuh nature or fortune haz given
him, IL a hero; don't care whether he il
peasant on the hillside, or chieftian in
! the tented field
The most sublime courage | hav ever
witnessed, hav been amung that klass
who waZ too poor to know that they pos
sessed it, and too humble for the world
ever to diskover it.
When | want to see a hero, or COM
mune with one, i don't 60 tew the pages
ov history; i kan find them in amung the
bipaths ov every day life. | have known
them tew liv out their lives and die with
out emmy reckord here; but hereafter,
when the CRATE sorting takes place, they
will be found amung the Jewels.
Free access to all Y. M. C. A. privileges
for a period of three months was extend
ed to all Americans in uniform, returning
from overseas or from home training
camps, in a statement issued recently
by DIR. John r. Mott, chief executive of
the Y. M C. A. in America. To the
hundreds of thousands of soldiers, ma
rines and sailors who have learned to
appreciate the "Y' huts and accommo-
dations while in the service, this means
the continuance of a contact with i'm
proving conditions which the young men
began after they donned the American
uniform. Where the ''Y" hut provided
the one warm gathering place for the
fighters in cold weather and at all times
a CHEEKY club, theatre, school, library,
writing room and church, the fine, big,
city Y. Nj. c. A. buildings will afford all
these, together with their swimming
pools, Gymnasiums and restaurants, for
the boys who come back. Loneliness
was the greatest evil which the ICY" hut
combated overseas, and the city ''Y''
buildings will perform the same service
for young men, who are without coy
home surroundings, and all free.

blank mind, following the death of his
parents. A neighbor, Mrs. Ella Preble,
carried food to him the other day and
was astonished to hear the old gentlema n
speak nationally and ask connected and

from a chair and the sharp blow received
on his head had restored his memory.
He was greatly surprised at local happen

Riga, Oct. 13.-With determined
men lining the improvised trenches
along the river front near Riga, the
Let's are heroically battling to stem
the onrush of the German-R Russian
army. Despite Bermondt's plea for
truce and united drive against the Boil
sheviki, the Let's have refused TO have
dealings with the commander of the
invading forces and have sworn to
hold back the advancing hordes to the
last man. Authorities of the Lettish
government have left Riga and Estho-
nian troops are now engaged with the
Lettish troops in the fighting east of
the Duna river, according to an Off
clal statement issued by EsthC~ian
headquarters. A dispatch from Berlin
says 10000 Let's have been landed at
Libau from British warships and will
attack the flank of Colonel Ayaloff
Bermondt's troops. A report from
Helsingfors states that the Esthonian
government has received an appeal for
help against the Russian and German
