Get R- mm mm "THEY SAY' "And all who told it added some thing new; And all who heard it made en largements too." A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. rroverbs. It is said that "Death loves a ; shining mark." So does the character ' assassin. J The whiter the garment, the easier it is soiled. , The more useful the citizen, the nearer spotless n,is cnaracier, .me easier it is for that bane of society, the talebearer, to besmirch him. It may be taken as an axiom that he who would destroy the character of another has no character of his own to be destroyed. With these foul birds of society, gossips, and talebearers, which carry about moral carrion, veracity is an unknown virtue and medacity a cultivated vice. It is well said by the ancient wise man. whose admonitions with re gard to the sorrow stirred up by i repeaters of rumors affecting the character of men and women are known of all. '"He that repeatheth 'a matter separateth very friends." q-ne jjar anj scandalmonger have ox- isted all down the centuries. Of them and their tribes it was said by the i Apostel, "The poison of asps is un der their tongues." Such disseminators of statements intended to promote unhappiness, enmity, strife, and jealousy not only reflect upon the character of the sub ject of their attacks, but cause feuds and quarrels among friends. Surely there are few sins so ter rible as the making of enemies of those who are friends. Yet this is always the result to a greater or less degree of the gossip and scandal monger's doings. It would be bad enough were the disseminator of scandalous yarns satisfied with the worst he hears, but he is not. Such a person is never content with the truth, but before he is finished with his putrid tale he must make such additions as will make it more interesting to his "cus tomers" those who are willing to listen. And let it be remembered that he who "giveth ear" to such vile stuff is as guilty as he who tells it. If nobody would listen, the detainer of good names would soon quit Lis nefarious business. It is perfectly natural that the peddler of moral filth should think that he who listens to his tales likes them, else he would not listen. In deed, he probably wonders that everybody is not delighted when he is seen coming. The skunk probably marvels that the bees and humming-birds do not swarm around him instead of the flowers. He is accustomed to himself and doesn't mind. It is not strange that some wit said that when we learned how to talk with animals he was go ing to take the skunk aside and ask him. "What's the big idea?" Same as the nauseous conversa tion of the social varmints. We are told by Him who "knew what was in man" not to judge ac cording to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." The skunk's appearance is attrac tive enough. His coat is beautiful, but there is an atmosphere about him that is anything but pleasing. If the sweetness of the bird's song were in proportion to its beauty, the peacock would be the Caruso of the bird world, whereas he can't sing a note that is fit to listen to. On the other hand the nighting gale is anything but, beautiful as to plumage, but is the grand opera star among the feathered songsters. If a ducking Ftool of olden time was used only for women who gos siped, it lacked much of inflicting its watery penalty on all who were guilty. Both men and women gos sip. And it is said by some that men are oftener guilty of repeating things that are likely to cause trage dies than women are. Neither sex has a monopoly of any one vice or virtue. The Apostle James says, "If any man among you seem to be religious, and brirl'.eth not his tongue, butde ceiveth his own heart, this man's re ligion is vain." Some writer has very pertinently asked, "Should not the tongue be a Christian, too, as well as the head and heart?" The truth is that the head and the heart are not Christian so long as they furnish the thoughts which give the tongue of the talebearer something to say. There is perhaps no greater source of misery and sorrow than that caused by idle, useless, and hurtful gossip. Truly it is that "The words of a tale beared are as wounds." So rare a virtue is it to be cartful of one's speech, refraining from criti cism and carrying no tales, that one inspired writer waa moved to eay, "He that bridleth his tongue is a perfect man." It is well worth while to note that when the unclean birds of so ciety undertake to disseminate their putrid bits of infamy, it is invariab ly done in the absence of the victim of their viciousness. This foul bird of society, this ser pent of slander, the hyena of hat, this ghoul of moral graveyards seems to have existed all down the ages. Meditation upon" these things causes us to be more and more im pressed with that wonderful truth compacted into a few words by an in spired writer who showed extraor dinary insight into human nature Avhen he wrote, 'As he thinketh in his heart, so is he." That is invar iably the case. No man who thinks honestly will be a thief. If he thinks mercy he will not be a tyrant; if he thinks tenderness he will not be cruel; if he thinks purity, cleanliness, and truth he will not be a talebearer, gosripcr, and scandalmonger. Of course the calumniator and backbiter loses nothing because he has nothing to lose. He can be smirch with mud and slime a dozen men and still have plenty left with which to continue his infamous trade. He who sincerely prays, "Creat in me a clean heart. O God, and re new a right spirit within me," wil have no inclination to expend tim and energy in digging up scanda corpses, or besmirching the apparel of another with mud from the bog of moral degration. It is wonderful to be courageous and strong enough to treat the gos sip's lies with the advice contained in the legend over a gateway to a big educational institution in Scot land. It says. "They sny . What do they say? Let them say." "Where no wood is, there the fire sroeth cut: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth." -:o:- P0RT OF KISSING AIRSHIPS While serious persons of practical minds are considering ways and means of preventing further disas ter to aviators who undertake light heartedly, but otherwise with less than the best equipment, to wing their way across oceans, there may be mvstical minds that do not accept the easy explanation commonly given for the various disappearances of fly ers and flying craft in the present year of marvels. For the assumption of the unimaginative that Nungesser and Coli and all the other missing aviators and aerial navigators, and also the pretty Michigan schoolma'am and the flying princess, fell out of the sky and were dragged down into the sea caverans, accords no special virtue to their bright valor and their high ambition. Truth about nature, as the great est scientists realize, surpasses in things revealed in things only sus pected, the wildest imaginings cf the fictionists. Why then should not those who honor the courage and en terprise of the ocean flyers concede the possibility that in the lonely readies of the sky above the ocean are portals leading into a radiant fourth dimension, some utterly de sirable region of cosmet delight, whither missing air voyagers go? Grant this possible and it becomes a joy to think how brave and young and worthy of happiness are those forming the company now assembled in the port of missing airships. :o: We laugh at staid ways of a by gone day. But the other day there crept into the news a little story about an old wooden square-rigged ship which SO sticks of dynamite could r.ot demolish. The heavy plank ing shook off the blasts. In the J 9th century at least they did build things to last. :o: Now cornea forward a chiropodist to say there are only 100 pairs of perfect feet in the United States. Where are the cops of yesteryear? Always Stiff and Achy? Too Often This Warns of Sluggish Kidney Action. 1AME? Stiff? Achy? Sure j your kidneys are working right? Sluggish kidneys allow waste poisons to remain in the blood and are apt to make one languid, tired and achy, with often dull headaches, dizziness and nagging backache. That the kidneys are not acting right is often shown by scanty or burning secretions. If you have reason to believe your kidneys are acting sluggishly,, use Doan's Pills.
