Did you ever notice that "talk"
doeen't Hurt a man much? Perfection
tw'( looked for is man, and when some
om trie to Injure a tuaa by rantlug
about a few faults ho has, the absent
one, who is probably attending to h's
own affairs is elevated in the heurtr's
estimation while the informant is low
ered accordingly. If a man knocks
along doing fairly well, people realize
that while he has some faults, he has
some virtues, and they are charitable
enough to overlook these faults. But
it is different with a girl or woman. No
matter how good and pure n woman
may be, let some one start an infamous
He about her, and every one is willing
to pass it along and there is always
someone to believe it. Thut Ho
can never be lived down. It may burn
low, but the gossip-loving are ready
with new fuel. Did you ever think how
damnably mean some goody-good peo
ple are in this respect? We have a few
well known charectars of this sort here.
They are known by everybody in town
and are referred to as "Mr." or "Mrs."
"Long-tongue So-and-So," The lower
regions will be too good for people who
will repeat scandals and mean reports
about their neighbors. Look out when
a person tells you something bad about
another; he or she will be talking
about you next. The Jeffersonian.

Don't Give Up.
An aged woman was supposed to be
on her deathbed. Her life had been
one of particular usefulness in many
directions she had worked hard, age
had come upon her, and she felt her
service was past, and that there was
nothing more for her to do, so she be
gan to regulate her affairs and prepare
for the end. As she lay on what she
thought was to be her deathbed, her
son come Into the room. The feeble
woman raised her eyes ami looked upon
him as she murmered, "My dear boy,
my time has come," "Why do you
think so, mother?" he Inquired. "Be
cause thero is nothing more for me to
do," she wearily exclaimed. "Oh, yes,
there is mother, something more for
you to do, some one wants your help.
An aged Jew was here yesterday, beg
ing for your assistance. He is in want;
can you not help him?" On hearing
this the apparently dying woman ex
claimed, "I shall help him, I shall help
him, send for him Immediately." When
the oldjnan came, she arose from her
bed to minister to his wants. She
now felt that her usefulness was not
past; she willed to do more, so the
vigor of life returned to her limbs and
she lived eight years longer to help all
who came to her door for material as
sistance or helpful advice. The Chris
tian Herald.
Why Do You Worry.
"Why do I worry? Because I cannot
help it. You would worry if you were
in my place." How many times has
this little conversation been repented,
one friend chiding another for the
puckered brow and frowning look, the
mood of depression and the anxious,
wearied, care-worn slump of mind and
body together, incidental to a habit of
worry. True, it is easy to say to one
who is overborne by the burdens she is
overborne by the burdens she is bear
ing, that worry will make her load no
lighter. She knows this, yet while she
concedes that worry is doing no good,
she goes on as if she were climbing
a hill and slipping back at every step or
groping tHrough a thick fog, unable to
tree herself from the smothering clutch
of this fiend. Three-fourths of the
women patients in a certain insane asy
lum were said to have reached their
morbid estate and the loss of menta
balance through the influence of worry.
Worry is really waste. It wastes ner
vous tissue, is the enemy of happiness,
and a prolific cauje and aggravation of
ill health. The Christian Herald.
Building Pretty Home.
Miss Eva Carrigan is having a 56000
resident built on her farm near Guston.
The home will be beautiful and have all
the modern conveniences.
Moves Near Sample.
