Courage : Its Qualities and
Its Uses Cleverly Explained
Br BART KKSNKDV.
It la all very well to rail at the world
because It erecla its mightiest atatuea
to man of courage. It U all very well to
aay that poeta and philanthropist have
mora claim to honor than mere fighting
men
I beltve in the beauty of poetry. I be
lieve to the nobility of philanthropy. But
the power of poetry and philanthropy
never Kept a destroying invader from
ravaging a country and Ita homes. It
never kept women and children safe.
The potent men In times of stress were
men with firm faces and hard eyes, who
shrank not" from thoughts of blood and
death, but went out and slew the ap
proaching enemies. The dread, potent
men of absolute physical courage. These
were the men of .value.
And the world rightly accorded to them
higher honors than It accorded to other
men, for the world, hard though it be,
possesses a doeper and sounder wisdom
than Is dreamed of by the shallow,
squeamish person who forgets that but
for fighting men he would have no roof
over his head.
The wisdom of the world Is the mys
terious and at times sinister wisdom of the
crowd-mind, which no individual thinker,
however acute and profound, has
ever fully grasped or ever will be able
fully to grasp. For human beings, how
ever near to each other, can never fully
understand each other. Individuals are
Isolated fragments of an Immense being
that Is wonderful and manifold and com
plexthe crowd-being. And this crowd
being acts on lines outside the compre
hension of the wisest thinker. 80, sneer
not at nor be Impatient of the wisdom of
the world the crowd.
Personal, physical Courage la the only
true and real courage. It appeals to all.
All can understand It. The things that
are called moral and Intellectual courage
are at best but things of comparison.
Physical courage la man's moat glori
ous gift In life.
It Is the power of absolute control of
the body at times of Imminent bodily
danger. Tou are unexpectedly confronted
with Instant death, and lol you are cool
and calm. Tour pulse beats evenly and
Jlarly. Never have the powers of
pour body lived together with more con
sonance than now. Within your brain la
a clearness. Nay, It Is as If your brain
were clearer and more collected than you
have ever known It. Before you is the
frightful face of Death. But within you
is sanity and balance and collectedness.
This Is physical courage.
And such la Its maglo that Death Itself
shrinks from you.
It Is not always given to you to know
who Is the man who la possessed of this
wonderful courage-magic. And It may
be well that though you possess It your
self yon may not know It The circum
stances in which you have lived have
been such that you have not boen put
to the test. Tou have never known that
within you lived this cold flame, magical
and divine. Tou have lived out your life
in an immense,, noisome town. Toti
have wandered not, nor have you mixed
with the fine, hard spirits who live off
in the farj outer world.. Tou are pale,
you are weak, you are one who effaces
himself. You are one who knows not
the smile of fortune. Too are perhaps a
submerged slave who lives down In the
lowest deep of the tremendous town. An
Ill-fed. weakling slave.
And lol you are suddenly put to the
dread test. Tou the one who is weak,
the one who Is nothing are without
warning, faced with horrible danger
Tour end Is upon you.
And all at once there has arisen within
you a' force mighty and wondrous. A
force that la at once cold and of fire.
Tour weak heart la nerved with an un
known power. A god has a'rlsen within
you. Tou are yourself a thousandfold.
Tour brain la alert. Toure eye la acute.
Into your face has come a strength a
fine radiance.
Tou, the weakling, are a force Indomit
able. ISome there are who think that this
magic of absolute and supreme courage
may be acquired. But It Is not so. It Is
born with the being who possesses It.
And it is a quality of the soul that Is
not to be crushed out. Neither Is it
to be crushed out by the torture of the
hell-llfe of the prison, nor by the grind
and wear of circumstances. It la aa a
divine and eternal light.
True, It Is that you may be used and
broken In to danger. Tou may work
slowly out, unalarmed, along the yard
when the storm Is smashing and devour
Ing the ship. You may stand steadily In
the mhlst of hailing bullets. And still you
may not possess this absolute and su
preme courage f
Or you may be a duelist one who has
killed many men. Or a wholesale alayer
of your kind. This courage Is to known
but by the sudden and unexpected test.
When a country is In danger this
courage-magic is the thing that alone
will avail. At such times the power of
gold Is aa- nothing If you have not men
who are without fear. Neither do you
want men of loud, patriotic words, nor
the half-treacherous men of compromise.
Women have always loved the man of
courage, for these were the men upon
whom all depended. In the vague and
dread time, gone by tens of thousands of
years, these men went forth and slew the
Immense and horrible monsters who were
then the lords of the world. They went
forth and faced tremendous and devour
ing dragons. They slew dread, giant
tigers. And It was because of these rare
men that In the fullness of time the
human, man grasped the world.
These men of the courage-magio were
the gods of the dim beginning. They went
to the lairs of unspeakable brute forms
and challenged them. They outfaced them
In the depths of Immense forests. And
so It was that they were deified and
adored. And rightly so.
But for them some other being than
man would now hold the world.
And they sailed forth In ships into the
far, engulfing mystery of the ocean.
These fine men of courage. They feared
neither the sweeping waves nor the
storms nor the dread monsters that rose
out of the black depths to seise them as
they stood on their heaving ships. They
fronted blackness and mystery and death
with Indomitable faces. These men-gods
of the old times.
They built nations and empires. Aloft
they held the sword, and lol beneath Its
protecting shade there sprung up the arts
and the crafts and the sciences. The
sword! Let us reverence the sword. For
It brought Into the world the magical
calm of peace.
60 rail not because the world erects Its
finest and noblest statues to men of cour
age. And rail not at the sword. . For from
the sword comes life.
The world owes all it has to the men
who were possessed of the magic of abso-
lute courage. And the world will owe to
them all that Is yet to come to It.
To these men, thinkers and statesmen
and Idealists are as nothing.
These men of the wondrous courage
magio are the men whose destiny It Is to
lead the world Into safely and happiness.
Away with your talkers and thinkers.
Away with your men of compromise. The
world Is to be saved, but by the sword.
These glorious men of courage! These
descendants of the old gods! Let us
give them homage and 'reverence!

Conclusions
Interior decorators have turned to the
old-fashioned corner closet, and are busy
copying the old colonial examples In mu
seums and antique shops, with the In
tention of bringing them up-to-date. The
idea is to make them portable, even
when they have an appearance of being
built into the room. Such a closet will
he appreciated by people who move often,
who have become accustomed to the con
venience of a corner closet and dislike to
leave ft behind. - I
Some of the old designs that have been
rediscovered are charming. One old
closet, now being' copied, stands' etght
feet high and has a depth of two feet
and six inches. At the bottom, there Is
a closet eighteen Inches deep with double
doors that lock; the top of the closet
forms the first shelf. The next shelf,
eighteen Inches above the first. Is scal
loped and cut toward the apex of the
closet's angle, the edge being cut out in
little slits Into which teaspoons are
slipped resting on their .bowls, where
they form a ailvcr fringe to the shelf.
The two shelvea above follow the second
shelf in pattern, one being designed for
long stemmed goblets and the other hav
ing hooks for cups. The closet has no
doors. Well may the decorators admire
Ml pattern after this grandmother or
closets, for It has a quaint charm that
modern furniture cannot show.
Of course, the closets with doors are
the most practical for they keep .Y con
tenta free from dust; of these the ones
with the diamond shaped panes of glass
In the door frames are the moan, attrac
tive. The new closets are equipped with
ball-bearing castors which enable the
maid to move them without even Jarring
the thing on the shelves. Another Idea
Is to have closet of well seasoned yel
low pine, painted and decorated to match
the room In which they are to be used.
This makes them available for other
rooms besides the dining room, where
they will bo appreciated as an added con
venience. In a child room, such a closet
could be nicely utilised to hold the smaller
toys; tt might be decorated with picture
of old Mother KubLard, on Its whit
enameled surface.
The advantage of the' corner chin
closet, ever the one standing out In the
room, I that k takes up no available
wall or floor space. Every one realties
the charm of the octagonal room; this
same effect rosy be reproduced In a meas
ure by cutting off two or more comers
through the use of old-fashioned corner
closets.

Two and two do make four, but there
is always a possibility that three has

the sum materially.
Suspicion and cynicism and doubts are

One might as well try to suppress the
striped patterns that make their ap
pearance at this season of the year aa
to eliminate the flowers that bloom In
the spring from the scheme of nature.
One would be quite as impossible of
achievement aa the other.
For striped cloths, silks and linens
have come to stand for outdoor gayety
and healthful sports. Each year these
have been advanced in slightly different
coloring and In rearrangement of the

different from their predecessors.

the one In greatest evidence and on this

of brilliant green or rose, dark blue or

white background, and by way of strik

introduced In black. ,

It sometimes happens that the skirt will
have a blouae of solid hue, and that the
coat of a monotone will be trnmcd with

the blaser coat to be worn with a striped

which I touched up with a border of con
trasting color.

O Use Talking to Napoleon
He Was Too Busy
rrf When Napoleon wa puzzling with
GIL the problem of invading England, ho
I there In the channel waiting for
a wind to come up and blow him
across. He was sent word that an American
wanted to see him about getting th trans
ports over the channel. He sent word hack
that he would give the American JUST ONE
MINUTE. That American was Robert Fulton
and be wanted to tell Napoleon about the
steamboat and that he did not need to wait
for the wind.
But THEKB WAS NO USE TALKING TO
NAPOLEON. He bad a job on his hands and
was too busy to talk to the young man.
There are a lot of NAPOLEONS In the busi
ness world struggling with the problem of
how to get over. They are waiting for the
favorable wind to blow Instead of applying
the power of advertising to their transports.
When the advertising salesman calls ex
plain to them they send out word they will
glvo him JUST ONE MINUTE and that they
are too busy.
Some busy men have much to learn, but
they will not listen. The most Important
thing In the world In success Is to know wbi
to let the other map talk to you to know
when to stop talking to him. There Is a lot
of steam In advertising that appears In THE
