We should all be thankful that we get
of 50 easy for our mistakes. Some of

We are a most ungrateful set. We

make you thankful for anything. Cheer
up and make every day Thanksgiving by
feeling thankful you are alive.

GOSsIPS AND NEWSPAPERS.

Gossip is drunkenness of the tongue;
assassination of reputation. 1t runs
the gamut from mere ignorant imperti-
nent intrusion into the lives of others
10 malicious SANDER. If facts do not
exist, it creates them; if they be inno-
cent, it transforms them into evidence
CT black guilt by ingenious perversion.
In Interpretation it always chooses the
worse of two possible motives. 1t con-
stitutes itself secret court of inquisi-
ton that decides on the fate of the vic
tim in his absence when he has no
chance to speak in his own behalf. 1t
is conspiracy of wrong. He who lis
tens to it without protest is as evil as
hc who speaks. One stong, manly
voice of protest, of appeal to justice,
of calling halt in the name of charity
could fumigate room from gossip as
clear, sharp winter kills pesti!ence.
