TELLING THE WORLD ABOUT IT
Everybody is subject to some cal
umny, some slander, some hate, some
backbiting, some depreciation. His
reputation is besmirched; his charac
ter assailed, his ability questioned,
both by those who have, no wish to
harm him and those who, through
malice, deliberately plot to rum him*
Gossip is not always traced to ns
source, but it always can be. U n i or "
tunatelv, the person who is talked
about unkindly or to serious injury
seldom hears of what is being said
Friends dislike to mention the mean
things, and they dislike more the
chance of being mixed up m hostile
controversy. Favorable gossip is re
peated to the person concerned, but
it is onlv now and then that calumny
and slander come to him, enabling
him to track his secret ioe and de
fend his integrity.
How bad news flies was exempli
fied in a specially interesting way by
developments in connection with a. run
on a bank the other day, at the Stan
dard Oil town of Woodriver, 111. A
man overheard two men discussing the
bank. They said that it was hard to
borrow money from the bank except
with good security or collateral and
this indicated that the bank was in
* straits.
The man repeated the overheard
conversation to friends at a picnic,
and the next day there was a run on
AIIU tllV/ vtv.j
the bank. Detectives first found out
from exdted depositors the cause of
their alarm and easily traced the talk
to the source. They found the
thoughtless fellow who had circulated
the news, and brought him to the
bank and made him stand up on a
chair, and tell the crowd what he had
said and how he was responsible for
the excitement.
It is too bad that every calumny
and slander, every malicious state
ment cannot be followed to the ori
ginator. It is too bad that every man
and woman who gossips slightingly
or hatefully of rival or neighbor is
not obliged to stand up before those
who have heard the gossip and pub
licly confess guilt.
No benefits ever result from wrong
ing anybody, or even from stating un
favorable truth, except when telling
the truth of somebody promises to do
some good. It is not only charitable
to say ill of nobody, but it is good
common sense. There is no credit in
succeeding by injuring or belittling
. somebody else. Say good, but say no
ill. It is a sign of nobility of charac
ter. to ignore others’ faults and praise
their virtues.
Ink stains on linen mav be removed
by soaking them in milk as. soon as
possible, then washing well in cold
water.
