seem to care more for what people
think of them than what they really
are.

After all, no one mai in the com
munity has so large an opportunity
to assist the town in advancement
as the editor. Jt is not because he
is smarter than others, not because
he is wealthy, but because he is the
spokesman to the outer world. At

An exchange says a colored citizen
was brought before a police judge
charged with stealing chickens. He
pleaded guilty and received sentence.
Then the judge asked himxhow he had
managed to lift those chickens right
under the window of the owner's
house-, when there was a dog loose
in the yard. "Hit wouldn't be no use,
.Tiidee" said the negro, "to try to
'splain this thing to yo all. Ef yo'
was to understand it you like as not
would get your hide full of shot, an'
get no chicken nuther. If yo' want
to engage In any rascality, yo' better
stick to de 'bench whar yo' is famil
iar." Western Publisher.
"The man that brings things to
pass -is the man who keeps a cool
head under difficulties and directs his
men with precision. Such a man will
clear up difficulties on a busy day
and - go home at night care-free and
happy; whereas, the hurrying " man
labors in feverish anxiety until late
at night, then plods his weary way
home, where he carries an atmos
phere of depression and darkens the
radiance of love's' own beam. There
he passes a sleepless night, and in
the morning rushes back to accom
plish a hopeless task. Thus his days
and nights pass in a ceaseless round
of crude endeavor, and the circling
years only add to his life's bitterness.

BETWEEN TWO TEMPTATIONS
(By the "Parson.)
The two dangers between which an
editor steers with difficulty are of an
opposite character. The one tendency
is to withdraw from the merely hum
an activities of the world and dwell
in a mental reservation, spinnin
geometrical, spider-webs of imagina
tion from a self-centerd viewpoint
This leads to preaching and the estab
lishment of special columns for ex
ploiting various absurd notions born
of too much introspection. Reporters
and active news writers are not great
ly tempted in this direction. They
are more exposed to the oth-Jr serious
temptation that .bests the editor. This
one leads to an intense personal int
erest in petty and trivial" affairs, such
as ward politics, the nomination of
candidates for school directors, the
quarrels 'between rival office-seekers,
etc., in short a general disposition
to mix in any sort of a scrap that de
velops, whether in politics, religion,
education or business.
Somewhere about halfway between
these two temptations lies the proper
course for an editor. The reporter has
his troubles out with people, face to
face, the very next day and is too
busy to remember such incidents.
However, it does no good to cuss
either an editor or a reporter ibehind
his back for three out of the five
men you are talking to will telephone
to' the newspaper office or call in per
son within -an hour, and make what
you said so much worse that you are
forever afterward blacklisted.
A daily newspaper. is manufactured
on the run, and has to, depend upon
the statements of the public for most
of its news. The intention, so far as
the news columns are concerned, is
always to treat everybody with abso
lute fairness, and "play no favorites."
The editorial page usually is written
with a little more deliberation ; but
editors are human, and the tempta
tion to expose the cowardly- sneak
tort to secure sucn garnering, m ui who knocbs- tne paper or goes
connection it has been wisely sug- &bout whlsperinjr slanders, is always
gested that the spring convention be preSent, and turning the other cheek
I is not an elementary principle or the
newspaper business. The reactionary
temptation to have nothing whatever
held at a somewhat earlier date than
usual in order that arrangements
may be perfected for a proper repre
sentation at Denver. Owing to the
nearness of ' the national convention
to the territory, it is certain that a

GOSSIPS AND FOOLS.
Elbert Hubbard, in Philistine. .
The person who plays pitch and
toss with your good name is not nec
essarily your enemy.
Probably if you go to him quietly
and ask a favor, he will be glad to
grant it, and will consider it an hon
or to exert himself in your behalf.
His unkind remarks are the result of
the Gossip-Habit. He talks to hear
himself talk nothing is quite so
pleasing to his 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 is not present.
Should the person reviled suddenly
appear upon the scene, the theme
quickly changes, and the newcomer
is treated with kindly deference, and
is regaled by hearing the character,
of someone else ripped up into carpet
rags.
The Gossip Microbe is born of va
cuity, and 'breeds in idle minds.
If you do not hear what the scandal
monger says, you are not harmed. 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 empty air.
He 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 unforgivable and. unpar
donable. He robs you of your peace
of mind. "
The idle charges when told over
again take on a different color and
become 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.
The first I'll pardon, the latter for
ever Is tabu let his name be anathe
ma. He is the one who magnifies
idle nothings and vacuous vaporing
until they become noxious gases.
The man who talks gossip is
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 thosa
who, in the holy name of friendship
come to you and poison your atmos
phere by the other thing.
That plan of the king in the olden
time who killed the messenger who
brought him bad news, has my ap
proval.
