know what Mrs. Smith thinks.
1t may be that the world entirely
misunderstands you, but have you

1t may be that the Colonel is a
leading citizen but what did he. ever

1t may be, as you say, that your

from?

A printing Office is considered by
some folks a tough place, and the
newspaper worker a very bad man.
Statistics, however. do not bear out
this idea. OF the $3.50 convicts in the
state penitentiary of Texas there is not
a printer or newspaper man, while
there are ministers, doctors, bankers,
photographers, BARRIERS, cooks and
members of all other professions and
callings. The printer gets bad name
because of the nature of his business
teaches him to detest sham and he
scorns the hypocrite.

"Do NOT feel worried because some
one 'stalks" against you with the view
to injure you. "Talk" will not hurt
you. People form their opinions of
you from the way you do your daily
duty. Then when some idle gossip
tells what bad fellow you are, the
hearers feel disgusted with the gossip,
and know that you are belied. There
is just retribution underlying every.
thing and encased in every condition
and in every circumstance. Both are
meeted out to you just as you merit.
You get not one bit more than you
deserve. You always hold your true
position in a community-you never
get lower, never higher, than where
you belong. Talk neither boosts nor
weights you. Gossips, especially the
masculine variety are like the devil
very disagreeable but are powerless to
injdre you, unless you first injure your.

that runs out in the road and barks

WELL, we have had about two weeks
of populist rule in the state of Kansas
and we have not heard that the state
