VARIETIES OF COURAGE f t T f KRSMiTII Is an awful euv.ard,” I V said tl;e retired merchant. “Ha hasn’t as nuifh spunk as a chipmunk. TM b morning I ear.- a man half his size twist Ids nose, and he never of­ fered to defend himself. He trembled all over and was covered with A cold sweat.” “And yet, under other c i r c u m ­ stances, Kersmlth might show all kinds o f courage,” fiidd the hotel- keeper, “It isn’t safe ‘ to Jump to conclusions about such, things. A woman will climb a tree, and shriek fop ’ the police if she sees a mouse, and if a real peril comes along, she’ll exhibit more courage In five minutes than the average man Could dig up In a*hundred years, “There are scores of different kinds of 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 vio­ lence, nnd yet stand up serene anti magnificent when the assessor comes to the doof, and there’s nothing finer than that sort of moral 'courage, “There used to be a blacksmith' In this town who had a wide reputation as a fire eater. He wasn’t afraid of anything, people said. If he heard of a promising bruiser anywhere In the countryside, lie 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 Ms nose was knocked to one side, and his eyes were bunged up so that he couldn’t' sep whether he was going or coming. He acted the hero on several occasions, rescuing people from burning buildings, and saving gents who were drowning and bis nerve became a byword. .* “ Well, in the fullness of time his teeth went wrong and Ms bead swelled up until It looked like a squash. He bought about a million things at the drug store, and they wouldn’t relieve the pain. The doctor told him Jio could have-lds-sufferings ended in five minutes by going to the dentlstfs, but that Idea turned him faint. At last he had to go, and the dentist told me he never saw such -a doggone coward. That Invincible blacksmith just had to ' be lifted into the operating chair, and as often as lie could get Ms breath, he yelled. “The dentist’s chair takes the starch ou t o f many a brave man. I used to have to frequent it a good deal before I bought these hand-made tortoiseshell teeth, and I saw some moving sights when I was seated In the waiting room. Women would come In there as calm aud cool as though they had Just stepped in for a dish of lee cream, I have seen a girl graduate alt chatting comfortably until her turn came, and then she’d step* Into the chamber o f horrors without turning a hair; and ‘ then some Mg.policeman, who’d think nothing of fighting a revolver duel In the dark (wlth a burglar, would. Come .Into the waiting room Us limp ns a dishPag. sweating Ice tea. and groaning every time he drew a breath. “ A man might easily get n lot o f false ideas about courage In the den­ tist’s waiting room. “That man Kersmlth, who stood and permitted n smaller man to twist his nose, has a sort of courage I’d give a tot to own. I’ve plways wished I could make public speeches. I’ve a lot of pent-up eloquence Inside of me that ought to be turned loose for the edifi­ cation and instruction o f the people. But every time I’m called upon for a few timely remarks, Tm scared stiff, and can’t say a blamed word. I just gurgle and splutter like a sunstruck lunatic, and hate *myself fo r three weeks affer It. “But when Kersmlth Is called, he rises without a tremor, nnd smiles sweetly upon the audience, and goes ahead saying what he has to sny as though In his own arm chair by his fire­ side. I’d he willing to hnve my nose and ears twisted several times to have Ids courage.” S 3 S 3 s x ' Chilean Nitrate Fields.
