To Fault Finders

A man would get very false
conception of his standing among
his fellows if it were possible
many would like to have it poss-
ible-to know what is said of him
behind his back. One day he
may go about in a glow of self
esteem, and the next be bowed
under a miserable sense of mis-
apprehension and disgust. It
would be impossible for him to
put this and that together and
strike an average"
The fact is, there is a strange
human tendency to take the pres
ent friend into present conf
dence. With strong natures
this tendency proves often a
stumbling block; with weak ma
lures it amounts to fickleness.
1t is a proof Of the universal
brotherhood; but one has to watch
lest, in an unguarded moment, it
lead him into disloyalty to the
absent.
Never employ yourself to dis
cover the faults of others-look
to your own. Far better be it
to discover one of your own
faults than ten of your neigh
bors.
The tongue that feeds on mis-
chief, the babbling, the telling,
the sly whispering, the imper-
tinent meddling, all these ton
CUES are trespassing on the COM
munity constantly. The fiery
tongue is also abroad; and once
set on fire, scatters brands among
sets families, neighbors,
churches and social circles in a
flame; and, like the salamander,
is wretched when out of it's burn
ing element. The black, sland-
ering tongue is always preying
upon the rose buds of innocence
and virtue, the foliage of merit,
worth, genius and talent; and
poisons with it's filth Of innuen-
does and scum Of falsehood.

cuted, and the Spanish authorl-
ties, intensely suspicious of for
eigners and especially of Ameri-
cans, seized the traders imme-
diately upon their arrival, sent
them to Chihuahua and put them
in prison. Here they remained
upwards of nine years, or until
t h revolutionary movement
finally succeeded under Iturbide,
when they were set at liberty.
According to some writer's. some
bearing these names were i'm
prisoned with an unfortunate
party of Texans who drew beans
for their lives, every tenth one
being shot. Copeland was one
of this party.
The next visit to Santa Fe was
a compulsory one. n 1915
A. P. Chouteau and Julius De-
Mum left on a trapping and ira
dingexpedition and spent much of
their time around the h d
waters of the Arkansas until the
spring of 1917, when they made
preparations to return with their
furs for St. Louis. Just before
they were to start MAY %, 1917,
was fixed for the departure) it
commenced raining and they
were detained and the next day
a force of Spanish troops ap-
peared with orders to escort the
whole party to Santa Fe. This
was accordingly done and all the
property of the traders, amount
ing to something like thirty
thousand dollars, was confisca-
ted. The party was thrown
into prison and for a time even
confined in irons. After forty
eight days of imprisonment they
were tried by court martial and
sentenced to leave the domains
of Spain, forfeiting all their
property, except one horse each.
The party returned to St. Louis
where they arrived early in Sep
tember.
The treatment the above par
ties received stopped all attempts
of the Americans visiting Santa
Fe. In 1919 D. Merriwether, an
Indian trader, accompanied a
war party of Pawnees as far
as the Spanish frontier. The
Indians were defeated and Mer-
riwether was taken prisoner,
carried to Santa Fe and placed
in confinement. Over thirty
years afterward he returned to
the place of his imprisonment
as governor of New Mexico.
