N GENERAL anger is ineffective and
results only in adding strength and
power to whatever melted it. The
man who gives way 10 anger or who
even reveals the fact that lie is angry.
even though he keeps the passion I'M

his case. The angry man is made
physically weak and pays a penalty
OF inetticiency for considerable period
after his anger has subsidized.
Yet perhaps there might be a good
deal Of satisfaction in once in while
breaking loose and saying just what

Morton was gentle. quiet soul who
would rather take abuse than engage
in an unpleasant argument. He was
extremely sensitive, too as such men
OFTEN are, and though he did not say
anything when he was sighted, or i'm

him cruelty and ranked for DAYS In
MS memory He hated a quarrel, and
because he controlled his feelings and
never replied to the insults which were
often heaped upon him, his com
panions sometimes thought him weak
and lacking in spirit.
Simon thought so, and being a bully
and something of coward as DULLES
usually are, took every advantage Of
poor Morton and did everything ia his
power TO humiliate the boy and to
make him unhappy.
But one day the worm turned, and
Morton surprised Simon He had held
in so long that he could do so no
longer, and he turned on the cowardly
Simon and told him just what he
thought OF him.
Morton seemed a new creature after
that, and Simon also, for the boy had
gained pleasure and self-reliance
through the expression of his feelings
and Simon had learned to respect him.

 PRESENT AT FUNERAL

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 31 (P)- The New York Presbyterian church held the remains of William J. Bryan until the government which he served in peace and in war claimed him for burial among the great company sleeping in Arlington cemetery.
 His reunited family from all parts of the land gathered about his bier, with the exception of Mrs. Bryan, who decided not to join those viewing the remains, preferring to preserve his memory as he was in life and not in death.
 The funeral services were very sim- pie, in keeping with the life of the great commoner. A hymn was sung and an eloquent tribute to the dead delivered by the pastor, personal friend of MT. Bryan's after which the choir rendered another hymn, and the military escort took charge of the body, conveying it to Arlington ceme- etery.
 At the grave short prayer was made, hymn sung, and the remains were lowered into their last resting place.
