THE MENACE OF LYING; TONGUES

killed another liv healing Jut over tile head with a hamuli r.
II wiis h fright Till, ghastly crime. After it wns all over it developed
iit the inquest, that idle gossip, malicious slander, the steady patter of
unkind and unthinking tongues had sown the seed, which resulted in
the death of one person, and will probably result in the death of
another.
Here certainly is a lesson written in large letters so that all may
read. There is too much talk, here, there and everywhere, talk that
in its origin may bo more due to ignorance than viciousness, but which
growing like the proverbial snowball, as it passes from mouth to
mouth, finally merely by reiteratioii establishes a certain' credibility,
and as in this case so in many others,' results in tragedy and de
struction. ' ,t;
' Hasn't the time come when all good citizens, men and women,
should take a stand against this sort of thing? Not only against cir
culating charges they do not know to be true, but in listening to them,
when proof does not accompany them.
Only by taking a strong stand, only 1y the effective condemnation
of public opinion, can this mania for slanderous personalities, back
yard whisperings and insinuations, be checked. It is up to no par
ticular individual, but.to tljc people as a whole, to not only deplore
this growing tendency; but to take an aggressive and uncompromis
ing stand against it. '

A woman's suffering is nothing: compared with that of the man
whose wife calls liim "honey" in public.
If Conan Doyle can arrange it, we should like to hear a few criti
cal remarks from the spirit of '76.
An old-timer is one who remembers when the girl sat demurely
neutral and let the man do the love-making.
OFTEN wonder where he is, James Bulger, once my bosom
friend; along the highway he may whiz, or through the sol
emn forest wend. No matter where he may have trekked, through
palaces or Bedouin tents, lie yet at times must recollect that he
still, owes me fifty cents. Perhaps he flees iii frenzied haste
before a wild mid-ocean' gale; perhaps he's in some arctic waste,
with polar bears upon his trail. I picture him in camp asleep,
when stars peep through the cloudy rents, and when lie wakes I
see him weep because he owes me fifty cents. No man can have a
tranquil mind, or know the peace that does not fade, if he has left
some debts behind, the debts he knows he should have paid. The
memory will haunt him still when he communes with other gents;
and when he sleeps upon the hill, his dreams will be of fifty cents.
I 'care not for that ancient loan, four 'bits won't make or break a
man ; but Bulger's soul must creak and groali whene'er my name
ho haps to scan." He's lost the peace that is sublime his halidom
is full of dents, his frame is tarnished for all' time because he
owes me fifty cents! . ' ' .-j: ;
