every page, too.
The usual number of extra Sec
ton men were added to the North
Westerns crew of employees Tuesday.
Those people who are always cry
ing out that this world is a world of
trouble wouldn't be willing to sell
out and leave it.
Many of the old-time minstrels
have passed away, but their jokes
will continue to do business at the
same old semi-circle.
A mule lever kicks at the same
object twice, probably for the same
reason that lightning will never
strike twice in the same place-it

What a loathsome person a gos-
sip is; and how detestable the occupa-
ton. Gossip has made many a hell
on earth. Gossip has parted many
husbands and wives. Gossip has
blackened and sullied the character
of many a girl. Gossip has parted
lovers who would have been happy
had it not been for it. One little
misstep or n indiscreet action will
cause gossip to arise with new
strength and start on her mission.
Her, did we say? We ought not to
for we have male gossipers and as q
rule they are ten times as venomous
as a female. A good, healthy Cos
siper is as mean and dangerous as
the meanest thing on earth. A dog
that will bring a bone to you will
carry one to your neighbours door.
