T he Brinkley Gossip Habit

Editor AIGUs:-
 Mistake not the party who plays with your good name for an enemy. Go to him quietly and ask a favor and see how quick he is to exert himself in your behalf. His remarks are not the result of malice for he is v'c i'm of the gossip habit and simply talks because he is charm ed to hear the sound of his own bazoo. He dissects the lives and
 belittles the motives of everyone with whom he comes in contact, but should the reviled one ap- pear he is quick to change the subject of the conversation and Tiff perchance, he stays long enough he is regaled by hearing somebody else ripped up the back.
 The gossip microbe is born in one, and forms the chief element for filing what would otherwise
 be, an empty cranium. !" Ii thrives best in idle heads anc soon takes entire possession. But the scandalmonger does not often harm another. Nc one is influenced by what he says and he himself is the only one injured. It is the pest, hid ing under the cloak of friendsf ip, who comes and repeats to you
 what has been said that makes the trouble. Itis he that poisons
 your mind with worries that rot deserve the second thoug;
 It is he that magnifies the idle vaporings 1f the gossiper into
 the deadly gases that kill ant
 under his tender care it becomes
 the stern reality.
 The man who gossips is 2 fool, but the one who repeats ii l is a rogue. /" Forgive the foo,
 but put the rogue on the taboo forever. The former, it is safe l to say is your friend, but the
 latter is quite the contrary. We
 know our friends; they repeat
 the good things that are saio about us, but the other fello'
 always has his ear set on a hail trigger to hear something whic.
 he can repeat to your detriment. The old Roman General who kill
 ed the messenger that brought
 bad news, did not use bad phi
 losophy. BLESSED ARE TH] FEET WHICH BRING GOOL TIDINGS."

The Goodness of ced.

God IS kind Father. He sets us all in the places where He wishes us to be employed. and that. employment is truly ''our Fathers business" He chooses work for every creature which will be delightful to them, if they do it simply and humbly. He gives us always strength enough, and sense enough. for what he wants us to do; if We either tire ourselves or puzzle ourselves. it is our own fault. And we may always be sure, whatever we are doing, that we cannot be pleasing him if we are not happy our. selves.-John Ruskin.

Kansas City Journal.
More than one-half of the acreage
of Missouri is uncultivated and 40 per
cent of this uncultivated portion is
covered with woods and trees which
will pay for the clearing" said Cover
nor Herbert S. Hadley at the Hotel
Baltimore last night. It have abro-
gated the functions of the state exc
cutive temporarily, and have turned
press agent for this grand old state Of
ours. I believe that in the next four
years we will have an increase of SO
per cent in our population and our
per capita wealth will be more than
doubled.
Missouri has suffered while the
territory to the south and the west has
prospered through immigration in the
last quarter of a century. People gen.
orally believe that Missouri is well
settled state when exactly the reverse
is true. It is a popular fallacy that
the door of opportunity, so far as the
occupation of land is concerned, had
been closed years ago. propose,
with the assistance of our state i'm
migration department, the railroads
and the newspapers, to show the peo-
pie of the United States that we have
one of the finest pieces of territory In
the world right here in Missouri, and
all that requires is a halfway intelli-
gent effort at cultivation.
Fifty years Sago the hills of the
Ozarks, which are really not hills at
all but a rolling high prairie land,
were covered with grass that grew
almost as high as man. The Indians
were driven from that section of the
country and the forests took the place
of the prairies. These lands to be OF
value to the farmer must be cleared but
the wood is more than ample to pay
the costs.
Here in the Ozarks We have the
finest country in the world for dairying
and fruit raising. Everyone knows
that the Missouri apple and peach are
unequaled for their flavor. In scenery
the bluffs along the Usage river out
rival the famous Palisades of the Hud-'
son, and we have the finest fishing
streams in the United States. The
state has more miles of navigable wa
terways than any other in the Union.
These streams will be opened as the
state grows until they will become a
factor in the transportation problem.
My trip down the Current river which
l will begin shortly will be made for
the purpose of rousing interest In the
lands in that section of the State. The
streams have the fall so that power
can be gotten at thousands OF points
in the state. Then too, there are
100000 acres of ground that is as
fine as any in the world now is subject
to overflow, but which can be redeemed.
