"At Bvory Kip 11 Reputation Dies"
Is the subject of a picture thai doubt
less all of US have seen: it shows. ?>
group of women at a ten party, en
gngi (I in delectable gossip. "And Sa
tan Cane' Too" Is the inscription be
uegth another very striking picture;
here, upon close inspection, is found
a group of women, When viewed
from a little distance this picture Is
an > xcollent likeness of his sntanii
majesty, commonly known as the
devil. In other words, it Is the devil
when a crowd of women gel together
lind gossip. What it is when men
engage In thai business, we cannot
say: no pictures are painted of male
gossips.
However, 'he i'acl that the artists
have allow- "i m -a to go iinpalnted,
in this unh.v -l> garb, does not estab
lish ihoir Innoceneo. Men gossip only
less thail women. It is a known faci
thai won on uro less charitable to
'm il- kin I Hu a men are to lUCII or
even to. women. .tust why this

This business of gossip, ati 1 Wo call
it "buslnoHs" advisedly because some

cttpatlon and Iho de h e of iholr
hearts is "keep a thing going",

we imagine.
Mr . A. fells how jior neighbor, Mrs.
B., a little secret about Mrs. f.. al
together harmless in itself, ami some
thing which is by no means hurtful to
Mrs. ("s. reputation. But Mrs. B's.
neighbor calls to see in-;- one bright
beautiful day. Mrs. who wishes
to be "a good entertainer" repeats this
s. crei: desiring further to "impart
Mime real m-\\s." she greatly exagger
ates the story, gives color to it in
plain words, she makes a falsehood
out of a truth, just to be Interesting;
for, mnyb'e, she tells the story without
entertaining I ho slightest malice to
ward Mrs, 0. Biit, Mrs. its. neigh

friend." Mrs. |), nil about 11 -and
more '00. Thus addCd to, the "little
secret'- goes the rounds until it be

could not recognize itself.
Oo dp -unintentional slander i.
a mighty force In destroying reptita
t i< :-. but slander. Slmotl pure slan
der, ' ear.- the very odors of the netltor
world, its birthplace. Some time ago,
in .1 far away city we heard this re
mark: "You had bettor keep on the
good side ot Mrs. U ; gel her ngalnst
you and you'll novor rest in pence",
meaning thai Mrs. it. would "proceed
to turn ail the nolghbors ngalnsi you.
Think of it! To in- known as the
leading slanderer and scniidal-iiiongor
of J'OUr town! Honorable distinction!
A slanderer Is one Who, With malicious
!. rethought, Inspired of the devil, de*
libcrately fahdllea regarding any
person or persons, with the purpose
of blasting Ills or their reputation.
We recall son:" vivid W?t'dS of Lord
Byron. hcarim; on this stibj ICt. Here
I bey are:
"Tue Devil he iit 0:1 the London
pave
And he round his work wi-ll done.
Por it ran so rod from the slander
ed dead
That blushed like tie- waves of hell!
Then loudly ami Wildly ami l?llg
laughed ho?
'Methlnks they have here little need
of nie.' "
And attain wo are reminded ofsomc
words by that eccentric yet great
poet. They are:
"I lave heard hyenas and jackals
In the ruins of Asia. Albanian WOlve:
and angry Mussnlriiansl Theirs 1.
sweet music beside the purr of Bug
land's scandal mongers."
Can anything be worse than for on<
to tell a deliberate falsehood about '
neighbor, thereby blasting his or her
reputation? Some one has said: "I'd
rather be guilty of stealing than of
? bearing raise witness against any one;
' for, I could return the stolen artiole.
and in a measure at least make
amends for my wrong; hot I could
never restore a good name that I
OIIC0 had ruined."* Ves, a spoken
wold call never he recalled' it sinks
into the mind of a hearer and beKlus
at OUCe to bear fruit.
And here is the though! we would
stress: a slanderous Btory, once told,
lives forever. Possibly if some of
our ' dear women" or "good brothers"
Could grasp the Idea thai just one un
truth told about another, may live in
a million lives and work destruction
therein, there would in- a closer guard
exercised over tlio tongue. liven
though the perpetrator of the false
hood die. that wrong is still living,
accumulating punishment for its au
thor. A word Is a living thing; it i.>
immortal.
