The Tragedy of the Tongue.
Too much tongue is a bad thing

Too much tongue is bad thing.
When we recall that some of the best
and noblest who have ever lived have
been reviled and traduced, indicted and
executed by so called good men-cer-
tainly men who were sincere-how can
we open our hearts to tales Of discredit?
The entire Salem witchcraft insanity
was nothing but bad case of scandal.
Much of the martyrdom and bloodshed
of the past can be traced directly TO the
same casSe. Nations have gone to war
because some princeling has charged
that king stuck his tongue in his cheek
and bit his thumb when another king
was mentioned.
One popularity of scandal is that when
it is passed along from one person to an
other, it takes on ptomaine. The orig
inal remark, uttered in certain circle,
may have been utterly devoid of poison,
but when the repetition comes, in diff
ferent atmosphere, to different hearers,
told by another man, the wit that once
disenfected the thing is gone and we have
only dead, stale, tainted, Improbable
stuff.
And so you see how a person who re-
peats an unkind remark is probably do
ing much greater mischief than the
one who first voiced it. The man who
repeats the story, and thus details the
poison, fails to supply the antidote. Let
his name be anathema.
A tragic feature of tongue" is that
those who deal in it most always are
full of grievances and walls, because, as
they allege, other people are talking
about Them. Indeed, this is their ex-
cuse for the constant use of the ham,
mer, that someone is knocking" on
them. They mistake the sound of their
own hammers for that of others. Any
man who plots another's undoing is dig
ging his own grave.
All those plotters of the French Revo-
olution who worked the guillotine in
double shifts were themselves dragged
to the scaffold and punished under the
knife.
The hate. we sow finds Judgment in
our hearts and the crop is nettles that
fate unrelentingly demands we gather.

entitled to share exclusively fund OF
about $40. 600 which their father set aside
for them.
Mr.. French left an estate Of more than
81 600. 600. but he was much concerned
with the future Of his two younger chill
dren. William e. French. born i'm 1889,
and Clarisse Mary French. born in 1884,
who. he feared. might not nave large

French, when there was good market
and AZ Christmas time, would put aside
some money. until he had fund amount

The referees decision was that while
Mr.. French set aside the money for the
use of his two younger children there
never was any actual delivery There
