GRANT COUNTY HERALD TWICE A WEEK Entered April 30. 1103. at Lancaster, Wis. as second class matter under act oi Cong ress of March 8, 1879. OFFICIAL CITY PAPER. Ball Pbome No. 12. Farmer'* Phone No. 49. B. J. LOWREY, Editor and Prop. Subscription Price, 11,50 Per year. CLBERT HUBBARD DIAGNOSES THE TATTUNG HABIT. The person plays pitch and toes with your good name is not necessarily yonr enemy. .Probably if you go to him quietly agd ask a favor, he will be glad to £3&nt it, and will consider it an honor to exert himself in your be half. His unkind remarks are the result of the Gossip-Habit. He talks to hear himself talk —nothing is quite so pleasing to h?s ears as the sound of his own bazoo, and to have others listen to his vaporings is gratifying to his vanity. He dissects the life and belittles the motives of anybody and every body who are not present. Should the person reviled sudden ly appear upon the scene, the theme quickly changes, and the newcomer is treated with kindly deference, and is regaled by hearing the char acter of some one else ripped up in to carpet rags. The Gossip Microbe is born of Vacuity and breeds in idle minds. If you do not hear the scandal monger says, you are not banned. As for those who hear him, they are not influenced against you by what he says, and for the. most part his words die on the «mpty air. fle injures no one but himself. However, the person who comes to you and tells you what the loquacious one says about you, is a positive pest. His action is unfor givable and unpardonable. He robs you of your peace of mind. The idle charges when told over again .take on a different color and be rcomes realities. So to repeat: The individual who rails on me behind my back is very seldom my enemy; the person who comes to me and '-tells me what he says, is. first-I’ll pardon, the latter forever is tabu—let his name be •anathema. He is the one who mangities idle nothings and vacuous vaporings until they become noxious gases. The man who talks gossip Is a fool; but the one who repeats it is a rogue. Your friends are those who tell you of the kind things that are said of you; your enemies are those who, in the holy name of friendship, come to you and poison your atmosphere by the other thing. That plan of the king in the olden time T ho killed the messenger who brought him bad news, has my ap proval. Blessed are the feet of those who bring glad tidings.—The Philis tine. Many of the industries that slowed down on account of the recent financial flurry are now working fall time again to keep their stocks from running out. ▲ return of 'Confidence seemed to be about all shat was needed. Uncle Sam is now in a position to his own in the Pacific, and <as a result the jingo there steps <down and out. CHECKS.
