ELBERT HUBBARD DIAGNOSES THE
TATTLING HABIT.

The person Who plays pitch and
toss with your good name is not
necessarily your enemy.
Probably if you go to HIM quietly
and ask favor, he will be glad to
g-ant it. and will consider it an
honor to exert himself in your be-
half. His unkind remarks are the
result Of the Gossip Habit. He
talks to hear himself talk nothing
ls quite so pleasing to his ears as the
sound of his own bazoo, and to
have others listen to his vaporings
is gratifying to his vanity.
He dissects the life and belittles
the motives of anybody and every
body who are not present.
Should the person reviled sudden
ly appear upon the scene, the theme
quickly changes, and the newcomer
is treated with kindly Difference,
and is RECALLED by hearing the char
acter of some one else ripped up in
to carpet rags.
The Gossip Microbe is born Of
.vacuity and breeds in idle minds.
If you do not hear what the
scandal monger says, you are not
harmed. AS for those who hear
him, they are not influenced against
YOU by what he says, and for the
most part his words die on the
empty air.
He injuries no one but himself.
+ However, the person who comes
TO you and tells you what the
aoquacious one says about you, is a
positive pest. His action is unfor-
givable and objectionable. He robs
you of your peace of mind. The
idle charges when told over again
take on different color and be-
comes realities. So to repeat: The
individual who rails on me behind
my back is very seldom my enemy;
the person who comes to me and
Ctells me what he says, is.
The first I'll pardon, the latter
forever is tabu-let his name be
anathema. He is the one who
mangifies idle nothings and vacuous
vaporings until they become noxious
:gases. The man who talks gossip
IS fool; but the one who repeats it
Is rogue. Your friends are those
who tell you of the kind things
that are said of you; your enemies
are those who, in the holy name of
friendship, come to you and poison
your atmosphere by the other thing.
That plan of the king in the olden
time who killed the messenger who
brought him bad news, has my ap-
proval. Blessed are the feet of those
who bring glad uidings.-The Philis-
tine.
