exhibit more courage In five minutes
than the average man could dig up in
2 hundred years.
'"There are scores Of different kinds
ct courage in this world, and you
can't expect one man to have them
all. A man may tremble and cringe
when threatened with physical VIC
lence, and yet stand up serene and
magnificent when the assessor comes
to the door, and there's nothing finer
than that sort of moral courage.
There used to be blacksmith in
this town who had a wide reputation
as fire eater. He wasn't afraid OF
anything, people said. If he heard Of
a promising bruiser anywhere in the
countryside, he couldn't rest until he
had mixed things with him. And he
didn't ask for purses or other induce
ments. He engaged In combat just
because he loved it, and was happiest
| when his nose was knocked to one
side, and his eyes were bunged up so
that he couldn't see whether he was
going OF coming. He acted the hero on
several occasions, rescuing people from
burning buildings, and saving gents
who were drowning and his nerve
became byword.

teeth went wrong and his head swelled
up until it looked like a squash. He
bought about million things at the
drug store, and they wouldn't relieve
the pain. The doctor told him he
could have his sufferings ended in five
minutes by going to the dentists, but
that idea turned him faint. At last he
had to go, and the dentist told me he

I have seen gfrl graduate sit chatting

then some big policeman, who'd think
