Zinhittug Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank What Gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud; Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Honor of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged With punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. eTViZZiam Ernest H enley.

26 THE NORMAL ADVANCE The Value of Enemies REGINALD WRIGHT KAUFFMANN A man may be known by the company that he keeps, but he is certainly proved by the company he repels. The former he may some- times deceive, but the latter almost never. All the world over, the coward is the enemy of all the brave, the liar of all the true; all the world over, there is no better proof of a mains Vir- tue than that he should be persecuted by a loose woman, no better evidence of a woman7s worth than that she should be slandered by a libertine. When I see a man hated by a fool7 I know that he is wise; when I hear him disparaged by a braggart, I know that he is honest. Among my own enemies I am fortunate enough to have one that is evil, one that. is a booster, one that is stupidJ and two that are all three. Of the first two, I do not know which has more helped my good name, but I do know that no one alive has helped my good name so much as the last two. Do not then waste your time upon revenge. I once knew a man with a wife, child, and friend. First privately and then publicly, the friend took the wife; the wife kidnaped the child. The man after he had regained his SOHSQS, allowed himself to be blamed and cheated rather than hurt the character of the runaways, who7 of course, hated him all the more cordially therefor. But what, happened? The man found him- self able to win the race of life because he was no longer hampered by a woman unworthy of U him: the child, unharmed, grew up to doubt her mother and hate her stepfather; and the wife and the friend, because they knew these things to be so, became mere drunken brawlers. Revenge is absurd. If youitry to brush aside the iilth you will only soil your own hands. If it attacks you, it Will only bring itself into comparison with you and thereby Show the world just how much dirt it is. Choose your friends with care, but select your enemies With caution. Your friends will be a personal help to you; but out in the world where, unknown to you, he goesabout reviling you, a well-seleeted enemy is your best asset. Copyrighted by the Cosmopolitan Magazine.
