I LUK t mv.. were mentioned in this magazine were human pests. You know, there ar.? human pests just as well as insect and bug p/sts. If you don't know-. J am telling you about it right now.* One of the human pests mentioned is "People who bring up unpleasant sub jects at meals." And you have seeu those kind I am sure. That is onv time when we should all be pleasant aiid talk al>out pleasant things, eve.) it' we are so constituted that we have to force ourselves to do it. Another one of these human pests is mention ed as "Women who talk too much." Now- I don't know much about that. I believe that 1 have seeu some wo-, men whom I thought might have per-! mitted me to put in a word, but they j would talk and talk and keep on talk ing, and it didn't matter what the subject was they would know more about it than any expert you could find. Xow I am free to admit that I thought thesp women talked too much. Even as much as I admire woman and revere her, still there are some ' who do talk too much. iAnd no doubt some men too. This article says that there are two kinds of talkers, those who have ideas and those who just calk to hear themselves talk, v Well, I have seen even the onp with ideas whom 1 thousht might stop occasion-j ally to let mo make a suggestion, or: get in an idea myself, but nay. w)t; them. Doctors and diplomats learn that taik is risky and often fatal and often have I wished that some other ' - i.] t-Vio lp??nn people V. uuiu iqai.il uiv ?... -o- i The other pest mentioned in these ] magazine articles is "gossips." Won- j rier if anybody really knows what j that word means. This article seems ' to have been written by a woman. She says she always did love to gossip.! Now that is an honest admission. She says also that many times she found j that the gossips that she took delight j in repeating she found had no truth in them. That is generally the case j with gossip. If there is any truth in, it.?t is so little that you cannot find ! it with a microscope. Once, the ar- [ ticle says, she was asked by one wlto i bad been maligned wliv she repeated , the story. She got out of it by giv lug her authority, but thaD> did not help very much. Then she repeats ?, this story, which no doubt many or >ou have read or heard. It is worth repeating here, though I am pretty ; sure there is no one in Newberry who , will admit she is a gossip: A Catholic ] woman came to her priest in confes-j sion. Among other sins, she confes-' j sed repeating a piece of gossip abou:j a. neighbor to a number of friends, j The priest told her to go and gather a lot of thistle blooms, and scatter1 :liem to the winds, and return to him.;* 5he did this, and wlien she returned, j >lie was told to go and gather up al-* j :he thistles she had scattered. j , "But I cannot do that." the woman i 1 ? ? liovo hoon I replied. ouiue ui Uicrn . corne so far I could never find them.''! "The gossip you have repeated is, j F like the thistle, scattered all abroad,'' ( eplied the priest. "Until you car' gather up and take back each un-j lind word, you can never repair the j I ivrong you have done this neighbor. J 3o and sin no more." This is an old, >ut a very true and impressive story, i uid I want to commend it to any gos sips who may read this article. Yoii mow, too, the good Book says some t iwful and terrible things about idiejt vords and what they will do for yen. t -0- ' { And this reminds me. of a littie )oem I read once, and I know you liiow I like to quote little poems, j? hey are good little poems and teach i good lesson. I think this one does, ind it is not very long and I want on to read it. The gossip always starts >v saying somebody told her. some >ody said. And all that sort of thing, ["lie gossip is generally a moral cow ird. H is always a whisper or a ru nor or somebody said or 1 heard so ind so. I don't know whether this Ufred Bryan is a brother of William o^nings Bryan or not. but this lit le poem is worth placing in your r>rjin hnnk if vou keen one and if on don't you should begin now b> Hitting just rich sentiment as this ittle poem contains in it as the first 'Hnpinsr. Here it is. Read it and hen read it again so that vou may get ts full meaning: 'Somebody SaW?wSomebodv Told tfc So ? fou can't ston folks from talking. No matter how you try; tome folks will talk, and talk and talk, And talk until they die. Jay something good about someone, And it will never leak out.

Washington. Nov. 2S.?The case of ;iie Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf rail road selected to test the con'stitu lionality of the Adamson law was i placed today on the supreme courtI docket the last step in perfection b\ i the government of its appeal from Federal Judge Hook's decision hold-J ing the law unconstitutional. The de partment of justice advised the court clerk's office that next Monday a motion would be presented to set a date for early argument. Solicitor General Davis asked the clerk to have the record printed at once. Outside of the record before the supreme court and not so far made a part of the official transcript is the stipulation agreed upon by 'At torney General Gregory and railroad counsel 10 abidi* bv the court's de cision in the Missouri, Oklahoma Gulf case in all other suits question ing the validity of 'the Adamson act. In the present action of argument to the courts, however, a stipulation !iiak:jg the pending case determina tive of all other suits may be filed, lTnless the supreme court feives the Adamson case precedence over many Dthers already assigned for hearing beginning Monday it is considered 32Jibtful whether it could be reached much before the middle of December, even should the court agree to ad vance the hearings. There are some 40 already assigned. Nevertheless it is generally expressed that the rail road case will be submitted before the court recedes for the Crristma holidavs December 22. Under the court rules, printed briefs mu-st be filed by the govern ment and railroad counsel before argument althought special permission tor later filing often is granted. Whether attorneys representing the railroad brotherhoods will appear in tne supreme court hearings or tile brifs i still undetermined. In the test case the local chairmen of tli*-. brotherhood unions were made de fendants by the receivers for the Mis souri, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad, but tilt? injunction SUll clS IU uicm rr?. dismissed by Judge Hook, leaving District Attorney Wilson of western Missouri as the only defendant. THV. situation, however, would ,not pre clude personal appearance of coun sel of the brotherhoods in the nomi nal capacity of "friends of the court.,: Nine additional cases were placed today on the supreme court's calen dar for December 4. They were re cently passed and now are reassign ed. m; A M> CANNING CLUBS I WILL EXHIBIT DECEMBER i\ The corn, pig and canning clubs r\f Vuwhorrv r-rmntv will hold tlieii' innual fair upstairs in the old court house Saturday, December 2nd.

London, Nov. 28.?Two Zeppelins nhich raided the northeast coast and. the .North Midland counties last nigiit were brought down and destroyed by British airmen and it is understood the crews of both airships perished. Seven German airships have been destroyed in England this year while six have been brought down in other ields. The two months of immunity which Great Britain had had from hostile air raids led many to believe the Germans would not risk any more airships in attacks, wfticn, wane caus ing numerous casualties among civil ians a.nd damage to private property, were said in Eugiand to have gained no military advantage. The authorities, regarding the pro tection of London as fairly complete, continued their work, however, with the object of rendering other parts ?f the country safe. The success o* the air patrols this morning has given the greatest satisfaction here. Official reports do not say how many airships crossed the coast apparently they were bombarded so severely by anti-craft guns as well as being attacked by airplanes that they were unable to do much damage. Lights were turned out in all tne towns in the districts affected as soon as reports of the approach of air ships were announced and the com manders of the Zeppelins apparently had difficulty in locating themselves. A number of bombs were dropped al though no reports of damage in any towns have been received. One Zeppelin discharged her cargo of explosive in Yorkshire and Dur ham. She was attacked by a sinbta airplane and fell in flames off the Dur ham coast. \ Another got as far as the North Mid land counties and likewise dropped bombs. She was attacked by air-" planes and guns and apparently was damaged, but effected repairs after reaching the Norfolk coast and started for heme at high speed and at a high altitude. Naval airplanes were await ing her and with the aid of an armed trawler brought her down. Great crow-ds attracted to the s?r coast by the firing watched the Zpp pelines as they descen-ted in flames. The damage ca,used by the Zeppe lin attack was reported in the fol lowing official announcement: "The latest police reports show that t;-p ^a.naic and casualties in last night's raid were very slight, al though over 100 bombs are known to h$ve been dropppd. One woman died from shock while five men. sev en women and four children were In jured. "In one town 15 bouses were seri ously and zu siignuy uamascu. other places in which bombs were dropped the damage was insignificant. There was no military damage of im portance."* TO ENTERTAIN THE VISITING COLLEGE BOYS The Newberry College Club is go ing to entertain the visiting college teams Thursday evening and night.
