Now these traits are alright when not car ried to extremes, which we so oiten flnd is the case, but we should always try to study our selves and strive to overcome ' any such extremes in our make up. We should look ahead and on the bright side, then the f'ark hours will soon fail to put in an appearance, Among the other disagreeable features in a great number of small communities, is, that so many men and women run to their neighbors with every little tale until finally they have told something wherein they have erred and will be taken to task. Such a condition is lamentable, but it is most always brought about by building up a good mus cle and not cultivating the mind. The mind lies dormant and after awhile large things can not be considered.
