Good sense from the Atchison Globe:
The man who is miserable most of the
time because people say unkind things
about him, is not a philosopher, and
when he dies in his prime, from worry
ing the following words should appear
on his headStone: He paid too much
attention to fools talk" No man or
woman is secure from the attacks of
vicious minds and there are so many
people in the world, ana
so many liars, that no one is free from
Misrepresentation. The cause OF this
is so plain that an honest man or Wo-
man should not feel disgraced when |
thew are attacked. Most of the gossip |
respecting decent women originates
with women who are not decent, ana
who try to create an impression tnaI
they are no worse than others. In the
same way, men who practice the COM |
mon vices, drunkenness, debauchery, |
lying, dishonesty, etc, apologize TOT II
by filling the air with rumors affectlng
the character of wiser men who have
that honesty pays better |
than dishonesty. A man who is dlshon- |
est will not hesitate to lie, nor Will a |
woman who is unchaste.

packs but 1t is lovely to be the boss of
your own house, to have somebody to
support you and to be saved for life
rom the odious charge of being an old
