WHAT YE HEAR.
“Take lieed what ye hear” as to
slanderous reports and insinua
tions. There is vast amount of def
amation in the world. Perhaps
we have all suffered more or less
by it, hence one would think we
might be prepared to estimate it at
its real value. But not-with-stand
ing our own experience in regard
to its evils, how prone we are to
listen to what evil tongues may
say of our neighbors! though jeal
ous enough for our own reputation
we seem to have little concern for
that of others. We should re
member that we have no more
right to hear what evil tongues
may say, than evil tongues
have to say what they ought not.
We could not give the tongue of
slander a more pointed and suc
cessful rebuke than to refuse to
listen to it. If we are watchful of
our ears, others would be con
strained to bridle their tongues.
If all men were deaf and blind
there would be no slander, because
there would be none to hear or
read it, and the unruly member
would of necessity be kept in or
der. But now there are hearers
and readers, and hence the tongue
and pen must be guarded. Idle
words are often the cause of in
estimable mischief. A good name j
js rather to be chosen than riches.
But the tougue of slander may rob ;
us of our good name and leave us |
poor indeed. What havoc has
been made of the peace and happi
ness of individuals, of families, of
neighborhoods by an evil tongue!
What were but trilies are swell
ing into importance by repetition,
and thus difficulties which a single
word might have explained and
healed, increase in magnitude and
at last become incurable.
The tongue will be evil while
the heart is wrong, for of the
abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh. The best remedy for an
evil tongue is a new heart, but as
even the best of us are sanctified
in part, we must adopt such a
remedy as will meet the evil from
whatever source it may come; and
this is the remedy: Take heed
what ye hear, We must refuse to
listen to what the evil tongue says.
Listening to slander is so nearly
related to slander itself that, if we
give place to the one, we are likely
to be infected with the other. The
listener is partaker with the speak
er; therefore, at all times, now
and ever, take heea what ye hear,
don’t hear everything, don’t re
peat everything you hear.

What are you doing for your
town! If you have no confidence
in the growth and improvement of
the town and country in which
you live how on earth do you ex
pect other people to move among
you and cause the country to de
velop and grow for your benefit.
ALWAYS
IN THE LEAD.
Year by year O. K. Stoves and
Ranges prove themselves BEST
OF ALL. If you would keep up
with the times on Improvements
for Comfort and Luxury you
must have an O. K. Stove or
Range. Cooking quality and
durability the best. Try one.
E. L. Hamilton
In any city where the majority
of its citizens are home owners,
one will find pretty homes and
happy satisfied people. They are
always on the alert for the best
interest of the town and its moral
welfare. Where this is not so,
such an interest is not displayed.
Don’t laugh at a boy who mag
nifies his place. You may see him
coming from the postoffice with a
big bundle of his employer’s let
ters, which he displays with as
much pride as though they were
his own. He feels important, and
looks it, but he is proud of his
place. He is attending to busi
ness. He likes to have the world
know that he is at work for a busy
concern. The boy who says “we,”
identifies himself with the concern,
its interests are his. He sticks up
for its credit and reputation. He
takes pleasure in his work and
hopes to say we are in earnest.
The. boy will reap what he sows if
he keeps his grit and sticks to his
job. You may take off your hat
to him as one of the future soldier
men of the town. Let his employ
er do the right thing by him;
check him kindly if he shows signs
of being to big for his place, coun
cil him as to his habits and as
sociates, and occasionally show
him a pleasant prospect of ad
vancement. A little pride does an
honest boy a heap of good. Good
luck to the boy who says “we.”
PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE.
Advice is good, if it is good and
well followed, and here is a bit
clipped from an exchange that oc
curs to us as being wholesome and
applicable to life’6 success;
“Fight your own battles. Hoe
your own row. Ask no favors of
any one and you’ll succeed a
thousand times better than one
who is always beseeching some
one’s influence and patronage. No
one will ever help you as you help
yourself, for no one is as heartily
interested in your affairs.
The first step will be a long one
perhaps; but carving your own
way up the mountain you will
make each step lead to another,
and stand firm while you chop an
other out. Men who have made
fortunes are not tljose who have

had $5,000 given them to start
with, but boys who have started
fair with a well earned dollar or
two. Men who have acquired
fame have never been thrust into
popularity by puffs begged or
paid for, or given in friendly
spirit. They have out-stretched
their own bands and touched the
public heart. Men who win, love
their own wooing, and I never
knew a man to fall as signally as
one who induced his affectionate
grand-mother to speak a word for
him.
Whether you work for fame, for
love, for money, or for anything
else, work with your own hands,
heart and brain. Say. “I will,”
and some day you will conquer.
Never let any man have it to say,

many friends sometimes hurt a
man more than none at all.

be heard from as if from a house
top. And we may add that when
he has made pleasant mention 999
times of some person place or

fails to do so, he must not expect
to be forgotten. The omission
may have been from accident, or
even an entire lack of knowledge.

We want to say a good word for
the man who meets his small obli
gations promptly. They are not
as plentiful as they should be and
the man needs encouraging. Most
men will pay but fewer will pay
promptly. Almost any firm will
testify that, counting the time,
postage, booking, and like it costs
all some accounts are worth to col
lect them and still the man owing
it to them is perfectly responsible
in a financial way. It very often
happens that the worst sinner in
particular is the man best able to
pay.
