Gossip is a bad habit that very few
are entirely free from. Gossip is like
swearing: every respectable person
tries to quit it. People who are known
as gossips, are always cheap people,
and they are never respected, for the
reason that anyone who finds amuse-
ment in gossip, lacks intelligence, fair
ness, and every other quality that
makes men and women worthy of re-
spect. A person who gOssips does
himself or herself more harm than the
person gossiped about; people have
learned, after long experience, that
gossip is usually exaggerated, and that
a gossip is always unprincipled, and
always idle and vicious. If it were
possible for gOssips to ruin regulations,
there would be no such thing as a. good
reputation, for no one ever escaped be-
ing talked about When a vicious per-
son has a grudge against anyone, his
first attempt is to injure him by talk
ing about him. Every thief gossips
about honest men, and honest men are
not injured, because worthy people
have learned to look upon gossip with
distrust. People have learned that
every gossip has some hidden history
that is discreditable, and gossip is
therefore damaging to the person who
retailS it.

SALVATION ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS.
WELCOME.


Now, / wish to say that am a skepticaI
kind of fellow, and something of a scoffer
to boot. This is characteristic, think, of
the new man in America, as we'll as In
Africa. So 1 confess that my opinion of
the army was not very exalted one. But
''all the worlds stage and the men and
women merely players" So L suppose the
scoffer Is player, like the rest of us, and,
strange as it may seem to some people, he
goes up and down the world doing good.
He Is very often a man of parts; he
studies human nature along certain lines;
then he sneers and makes odious COMPARE
sons. He attacks institutions, ceremonies
and men. Immediately human sympathies
are aroused. They may have been dormant
before; now they defend themselves; they
wax strong and beautiful under the sting
and the spur. and so, when the scoffer has
departed, flowers spring up in his footsteps.
Such were some of my thoughts, when
suddenly Jack took hold of my arm and
almost dragged me after him up a dingy
stairway and into the army quarters. The
hall was long and narrow, with a very
smoky ceiling. Notices and texts of all
kinds adorned the walls. For the most
part, they were printed in many colors,
of The notices which are often hung round
the walls of a restaurant, signifying such
and such food for the body. while these
Salvation notices, of course, denoted such

We took seats at the back OF the hall. and

With toiling PAGES slow,
Bent by times heavy load
