Hold Your Tongue

More grief is caused by things that
are said than things that are done. An
ger is a fame that burns quickly and
kills: hate is a coal that burns deeply
but often does little HARM But anger
flares up in moment and i'll second
does fatal injury.
These remarks were caused by seeing
great big oyer-grown man speak unkind-
" to little boy this morning, near the
Gazette Office. The boy-as boys will
made a funny remark about the man,
and the man turned and jawed the boy.
Now who do you think was hurt by the
occurrence, the boy who innocently-and
perhaps foolishlv-threw funny remark
at the man, or the man who flashed up
ana sassed the boy? Ii there was a
spark of manhood left in the man, he
must have been ashamed all day OF
what he did. He must have felt himself
a coward, and hated himself, and the
little boy will always think OF him as a
coward.
Thus, two people who might be friends,
aud be helpful to one another in this
world, are bound to pull different ways,
and the force of good in each of them
will be misdirected, so far as the other is
concerned. 1t is not for ourselves alone
that we should hold our tongues and
speak kindly, but for every one about us.
Our own shame, our own feeling OF COW
ardice and humiliation, and our own
cankering remorse at our own unfair
ness and injustice are as nothing COM
narcd with the effect of these things oil
the world. Anger breeds hatred, and
hatred keeps many good men and wo-
men at each others throats when there
is so much good work to be done in the
world The good people are divided in
this world, and the devil trumphs be-
cause of hatred causedby foolish tongues
in anger. And. the pity of it, the tragedy
OF it. What craven towards we all are
to Loosen our tongue when the world
needs helpful hands all pulling together
toward common end.-Emporia Ga

PLANTING A TREE
by RICHARD WATSON GLIDER.

What does he plant who plants tree
lie plants n friend of sun and sky
He plants the flag OF breezes tree;
The shaft of beauty towering high;
He plants home to heaven anigh
For song and mother-croon oil bird.
In hushed and happy twilight beard
The treble of heavens harmony
These things he plants whoplants tree
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants cool shade and tender rain,
And seed and bud of days to be,
And years that fade and flush again;
He plants the glory OF the plain
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of the coming age;
The 10Y that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants tree
What does he plant who plants tree!
He plants IN sap and leaves and WOOD
In love of home and loyalty.
And far-cast thought of civil good
His blessing on the neighborhood,
Who in the hollow of his hand
Holds all the growth of all our land
A nations growth from sea to sea
Stirs in his heart who plants tree.

Names of Fabrics.

1t is an interesting study to discover
the origin of the name from which the ar
ticles of clothing with which we cover
ourselves comes. Many of the fabrics
worn by women are named for the place
in which they are manufactured, or per
haps the maker is especially patriotic
and christens his handiwork after the
town of his nativity. Others go still
further and label their own wares with
their surname.
For instance, the name damask comes
from Damascus; white satin is corrup
t;on of Yaton, a town in China.
Cambria is an authorization of Cambr'
and gauze from gaze; baize from Bajae;
d;mity from Dimietta, and jeans, the
old-fashioned jeans, comes from Jean.
Calico is named from Calicut,'n India
where it was first printed. Velvet is
from the Italian "vellvute,' meaning
a hide or pelt.
Serge comes from Xerga, the Spanish
tor particular kind of blanket.
Alpaca is the name OF IA species OF llama
-. ,,hose wool the first of this ma
terial was made.
,rhe name blanket was from Thomas
p,erlet the famous English clothler

they rose far above the average of hq-

much less offensive than when cooked in

said to further mitigate it.

low miners in the gulches knew clear

to him as the handling of the rocker

him from his comrades of the mines.

Sweden was the first country TO recog
nize the equality of sons and daughters
in the inheritance of property. and this
is due to a notable event which occurred
more than thousand years ago Will
the king and the army were engaged in
a foreign war and their homes were lett
defenseless, the Danes invaded the pro
vince of Smaoland, where the women
organized and armed themselves and
were led to battle by beautiful woman
called Blenda. who defeated the Danes
and drove them from the country. In
recognition of their heroism, upon his re-
turn the king proclaimed a degree that
thenceiorth the daughters of Swedish
families should be entitled to inherit an
equal share with their brothers of the
property left by their parents, and that
has been the law to this day.
