A DISAGREEABLE HABIT.
One Which People Fall Into Without
Knowing it.

There Is one exceedingly disagreeable
habit into which some people fail with
out seeming to know it. This is nagg-
ing. They cannot say what they have to
say and then let it alone, but keep seek
ing and pecking at it on every occasion
and II occasions do not arise naturally,
they make them. In this nagging,
sarcasm, or irony, bear leading part.
A thing may be said once or twice as a
pleasant raillery, in genial humor,
but when repeated over and over it
ceases to be fun 1t then cuts Sar-
casm u a two-edged tool; it cuts
and wounds the one at whom it is
aimed, and it irritates and roughens
the one who uses it. 1t is dangerous
tool for one to use who wishes to be
either kind or just. 1t comes easily to
the lips and the intellect taxes a GER
tain kind of delight in aptness, ingenui-
ty or sharpness. Its use grows on one.
The N ore it is indulged in the more
easily one falls into that from speech.
AT last the habit comes to be so habitual
that 1t Is used unconsciously However
good naturedly one seems to take it, it
is almost certain to leave sting; there
is wound that alrts. Struggle against
it as one will. there will often be an inn
meant In earnest.
Too often do all of us wound the
| feelings of others by carelessness in
speech. We cannot too carefully guard
ourselves against the nagging habit.
1t rasps and wears out the best of dis
positions. Let us endeavor TO ever
make our speech kindly, even when
obliged to find fault "A blow with a
word strikes deener than blow with a
sword We SHALL never err by speak
ing too kindly. These naggers are
often kind at heart and would not will
ingly wound another They have formed
the habit unconsciOusly and are not
aware of how frequently they indulge
In that kind of talk. 1t does not occur
to them that anyone may take further
meaning than they have meant, or that
any part of it will be taken seriously
1t IS unavoidable. however, that this is
so.
The nagging habit is the real reason
why some women find it difficult to re-
tain servants, 1t is for the sharpness of
their tongues that some really excellent
people are avoided and disliked in
society. People dread the tongue lash
ings that slip so easily from the lips and
without real malice, but they, neverthe-
less, cut deep. Let us put a guard on
ourselves and see that this habit of sar-
castle speech and nagging is not ours.
The Chinese have Il saying that "A
mans conversation is the mirror of his
thoughts -
There is truth in it. five habitual-
ly talk In a certain way we grow to be
that way in character Milwaukee

A NEW DEPARTURE.

The PILOT takes great pleasure to
note the opening of the popular religious
movement inaugnrated by Mr.. Fawcett
at the opera house Sunday afternoon
last. Such a movement whether tenn
porary or lasting can only result In
good to the community, and tend to
wholesome and stimulating thought
upon matters which have always en-
gagged the mind of man.
The question discussed was Re
ligion." 1t was handled in breezy
and popular fashion which is peculiar
to the speaker Wit and sarcasm was
of course on hand, not however to sting
and tickle needlessly put to drive home
a truth embedded in his conscience.
Mr.. Fawcett may be classed among
modern religious evolutionists, not
scorning the achievements of the past
but simply sitting them and leaving the
chaff behind. Religion was not born
perfect and complete 1t is the deepest
feeling of the mind Its intensity alone
is responsible for its bloodshed. 1t
must ever be the topic of highest and
noblest thought. 1t has toned our
music in what is known as religious"
1t has given us style of architecture
peculiarly its own, and a dress by
which its most earnest devctees are
known 1t has for its climax the char
acter and life of the Man of Gallilee
1t will we'll repay you to spend an hour
with Mr.. Fawcett if you have no other
binding engagement He seeks not to
interfere with the church life of the
city but to augment the religious
thought of the community-success to
him. He will conduct services every
Sunday evening or afternoon hereafter
in the opera house, until further notice
The services next Sunday will bein the
evening.

TERSE OFFICIAL C0RRESP0N-
DENCE.

MANY years ago, before what is now
West Virginia was crossed by railroads,
the mail was carried on score or more
routes by the old and well known stage
firm of j. A. Trotter & Bro, one mem
ber being devout Presbyterian and
the other, in common parlance, a
wicked sinner Among their mail con
tracts was one from somewhere in the
Greenbrier section to Clarksburg, cross
ing the Cheat mountain country A
severe winter with much snow and ice,
delayed the mails to such an extent
that the postmaster at Clarksburg re-
ported Trotter d Bro. to the postoffice
at Washington. The de-
partment wrote them polite note urg-
ling greater promptness, which was un-
needed by the contractors. Again and
again they were reported by the Clarks-
bra'g postmaster, until the department
wrote in positive terms, if the mails
were not delivered in time their eon-
tract would be reseinded. This com
municati0n was received by the pious
brother. who, feeling that he could not
do the matter full justice, handed it to
mis- wicked brother to answer, with the
remark: You, Jirn, can explain the
cause of delay to the officials" Jim
took the letter, reao it, and wrote the
following verbatim reply;
POSTMASTER GEN, WASH, ID. g.
Sir:-If the gable end of he'll should
blow out and rain fire, smoke and
melted lava for forty days and nights,
it would not melt the snow enough on
Cheat mountain so as to get your d-d
mail out on time
Yours truly.

That settled it, The department
bad nothing more II say; in she Post
master Generals office the letter was
framed, hung up, and preserved as a
relic of terse ard vigorous official cor
respondence.

A successful man says that he owes
much of his prosperity to a lesson
taught him by his employer. This
mans principle was, ''Do it now" In
stead of putting things off with the idea
of attending to them sometime later he
made it rule to 'do it now Thus he
was often in advance of his competitors,
both in taking hold of good thing or
letting go an improbable one. This
principle may be applied to the small
affairs of life as well as to the most inn
portant. The little things we ought TO
do and don't do worry us most. Some
time they must be attended to, and the
oftener they are brought to mind and
dismissed again to that indefinite time
and more trouble they gave US. Then
after all, we are often surprised to find
how little trouble it is to attend to these
things, and want somebody to kick us
or not relliziug it sooner.
