The coward who hides behind a

The best thing about the month of

A Toledo man lost his wife in a
poker game, and one wonders how
much the winner finally came out
loser when the game ended.
-:o:-
"Banker's Cellar Stripped of Liquor
Supply." That ought to make his de
positors feel nervous, for there is
nothing to keep him at home now.
:o:
As a general thing, it take a
mighty tall building or an approach
ing thunderstorm to cause the aver
age man to lift his vision above the
ekirt line.
-:o:
The trouble with that 300-mile
.gun is -thai, it shoots too far, and
not far enough. All our enemies are
either closer than three hundred
miles, or further.
"Lenine is the greatest man I ever
met" and "Trotzky is a statesman,"
indicate that if Senator France were
a judge in a draft horse ring h?
would jump the railing to pin the
blue ribbon upon a broncho.
:o:
Oh. pshaw, what is the matter
with our ciders? They are always com
menting on our girls rutting on th'.-war-paint,
this is America. And the
Indians used the war-paint, feathers,
beads, fringe, furs, and short skirts.

William Dean Howwells once said
that a man who could not write save
when inspired was not likely to ac
complish anything in literature. In
other words, the man who can write
a. furnace advertisment with a punch
in August is the sort of a man to
grind out the problem of the year
every year.
"It don't take a man long to
bag his pants at the knees,
and to make a finely tailored
suit look thoroughly disrepu
table that's the man cf It,"
avers Dainty Dorthy.
But she goes on to explain
that the man who is making
use of our cleaning, steaming
and pressing services is keep
ing his clothes in much more
presentable condition than
when he got acquainted with
us. And it doesn't cost much,
either.

That those who gossip are not ma
licious mindedv persons, but persons
of diseased mind, is the assertion re
cently and emphatically made by
certain public officials whose duties
bring them into fairly frequent con
tact with scandal mongers and sland-
derers. Says one official, E. C. B.
Jenkins, secretary to the Chicago
board of police commissioners:
"Their distorted imagination vis
ualizes scenes which they would
have coma true, and their insane
mind immediately grasps the story
and they repeat it as if it were true."
This last statement undoubtedly
describes correctly, if somewhat ov-
erconsciously, the mechanism by
which gossip is set in motion. And,
undoubtedly to gossip outrageously
is in many cases a symptom of brain
disease. Mattoidism Is the name
which long ago was given to this
particular mental malady.
Yet, in all fairness .to gossips, it
must be said that after all, one may
gossip extraordinarily, without ac
tually being a victim of mattoidism.
In fact, what a tendency to gossip
usually shows is nothing more seri
ous than a neurotic inability or un
willingness to face unpleasant facts
as regards one's self.
If circumstances do away with the
facts, then the tendency to gossip
may itself die away. If, however, the
unpleasant facts persist, so that gos
siping is likely to persist, and may
gradually involve a transition from
mero neuroticism to out right insan
ity. Though, at any time before this
transition is quite accomplished, pos
sibilities of self cure are available to
the gossip, provided only that en
lightenment be gained as to the true
cause of the gossiping.
The gossip must recognize, more
specifically, that the people she gos
sips about are, or seem to him, more
advantageously conditioned in life
than he. They are perhaps wealth
ier, perhaps healthier, perhaps bet
ter situated socially, perhaps better
educated or perhaps happier. At all
events, for one reason or another
they give him a galling sense of in
feriority.
It would be comfortable to be of
this feeling. One way to be rid of it
is first, to wish the envied ones
would behave in a fashion stamping
them with inferiority themselves.
From the wish that .they would be
have in an inferior way is but a
step to the belief that they do thus
behave.
Gossip about them promptly fol
lows, if from no other motive than
to persuade the world of .the gossip's
intrinsic superiority to those she
gossips about. Though there is al
ways the further and more urgent
motive of helping the gossip herself
to feel superior.
The cure, manifestly, is first of
all some exceedingly frank self stu
dy on the gossip's part, as a prelim
inary to approaching the personal
shortcomings that need to be over
come. At once should follow effort
to overcome them.
When they are overcome as they
usually can be the desire for self
protection through gossip will be
longer felt, and consequently the
dangerous luxury of gossip will no
longer be indulged in.
