It had broken so many fortunes invested in it that men i haq killed themselves. One had died when hope died. A broken heart who had lost his fortunes and that greater fortune, hope, had killed him. But this man, a long, lank, lean Kentuckian, with calm eyes in which dreams lay, said: I believe I can build that tunnel.” He tried.

With every death a reputation dies,” does add poetic license to truth, but un- fortunately it has a superstructure of fact Scandal most decent people ab- hor, but everyone seems to have a secret hankering for “a little harmiess gossip.' When a group of individuals gathers together all talk about people or things or ideas exactly in accordance with their mental ability, Petty minds can't think beyong the affairs of the nelghborhood. Little souls must look at life personally and deal in concrete conceptions in which Mr. A and Miss B and Mrs. C figure. Broader minded men and women are interested in events, in happenings of life about them, in the larger world of new And really superfor minds concern them- selves with speculation, with mental ex- periment, with the sort of thing that has made for growth and progress and dis- {eovery “A little harmless gossip” may truth- fully onough begin quite unmallciously. Buppose A tells B that X looks worried. |Then B, who has nothing better to talk about, tells C that X's affairs must be in rather a bad way, for he really lsn't looking well at all, Next C, who wants to appear interesting, and well informed in the eyes of D, tells that individual that X is on the verge of a failure, And D, with a very know-it-all air, re- marks to B that Mrs. X's extravagance has ruined her husband and tomorrow he s going into bankruptey. Nobody wants to be maliclous. Nobody meant to do the X's irreparable haim, but what began as a trifiing and uncon- sidered bit of gossip has grown to danger- ous proportions. X's creditors hear of it and force him Into bankruptcy per- haps, and Mrs, X finds her matrimonial happiness gone because she feels that her husband wesn't man enough to take the blame on his own shoulders, but hid be- hind a woman. | Mrs. Y is walking up the avenue and meets Mr. 2. He suggests they lunch together Instead of each having a lonely meal. Harmless enough—but Mr, Y is in A far-distant city and Mre. Z is In the country for the summer, And a “little harmless gossip’ so magnified the event of the luncheon that it grows from “u harmless indiscretion” to an ‘‘outrageous flaunting of a shameful infatuation.” Aad it actually brings about a divorce in one family and a life clouded by suspicion for the other. It is exactly this type of thing that “a little harmless gossip' causes. 1 wonder why so few of us remember that the way we Interpret other peoples’ wotions has to be based on self-knowledge. ! 1t we know each in our own soul that a seemingly innocent thing would mean ignoble purpose in our own case, naturally we must conclude that it means the same { In another case. Each of us takes ourself as the stand- | ard of measurement, Each of us inter- | prets other peoples’ actions in terms of what we would mean If we did the same thing. Each of us must look at life through his own eyes. A little thought and every one of us will grant the truth of this statement. ‘Then here is the thought that ought to make ug all tremble at the thought of gossip, 1If we sneeringly and suggestively comment on ihe action ui another we are only confessing that in like cases we would not be acting decently and disin- terestedly. Ho against salp there are three great arguments: In talking about people we acknowledge ourselves too stu,.d to con- celve of Iife impersonally in terms of things and ideas, we do irreparable harm to innocent people; and by maliclous in- terpretation of simple acts we conf ourselves practically Incapable of acting with simple decency. 1 LOSING HOPE - WOMAN VERY ILL Finally Restored To Health By Lydia E.
