Life's pathway is not one of
ease, filled with flowers and song
of birds. To the best of us come
dark hours. Often our feet are
weary and our flesh pierced with
thorns. Often our tempers are
sorely tried. 1t is in such times
we often say things that hurt;
things that cut like a two-edged
sword. And we often infict
wounds that are not healed over in

1t was the devils tongue that
started the world on It's downward
course, and the tongue of the
slanderer is the DEVILS most effect
i've instrument. Your Uncle lob
ey has seen so much strife and
contention caused by evil tongues
that he wants to talk plain on the
subject. What would you think

Yet such an act would be more
honorable than to SANDER him be-

not only cowardly, but it IS con-

One reason some people talk so
mnch about their neighbors is be-
cause they have nothing else in
their heads to talk about. They
read no papers or magazines.
They have no useful knowledge
to impart to any one. Their world
IS circumscribed by the boundaries
of their own neighborhood. Not
having anything else to think
about, they are always polIing
their noses into the business of

My friends, be careful of your
tongue. Train it to talk, but
make it say kind things to and of
all. If You can not speak we'll of
any one speak not at all. You
will never regret speaking kind
words, and they will tighten the
burdens of those to whom they are
spoken. Remember that a word
spoken can never be recalled, and
that kind words pay good divi-
dends. Even to the stock on the
farms kind words are a good in.

My friends from the appearance

My friends, there are a great

getting some one out Of trouble.
