Come to think it over there
isn’t much wonder that ■gambl-

Of course everything must be
directed and ordered according
to a well orderded plan, but to
the short sighted mortal it seems
that about everything in life is a
gamble.

The following is taken from a
little girl’s composition on men:
Men are what women marry.
They drink And smoke and swear
and have ever so many pockets,
but they won’t go to ohuroh.
Perhaps if they wore bonnets
they would. They are more log-
ical than women and always
more zoological. Both men and
womep have sprung from mon-
keys, but the women certainly
sprung futher than men.—-Ex.

No matter what kind of busi-
ness the young man engages in,
so far as he is concerned it is a
gamble with the odds against
him. If he farms he lays fresh

one to five shot that it will escape , siping man or woflRWh'^^A. drunk-
ard, gambler or a profligate is
neither as despisable nor as
pusillanimous as a fellow who
oarries tales. A wanton is more
respectable than the woman who
ruins character by talk. There
is not a gossip, male or female,
who is not a liar of the meanest
sort, nor is there a gossip who
can tell the whole truth at any
time o-at any place. How many
fair reputations have been smir-
ched by insinuations glibly roll-
ing from the tongues of con-
temptible women? How many
promising business ventures have
been wrecked by the malicious
the ravages of thd cut worm, the
chinch bug, the late frosts and
the drouth.
Later on he gambles with an
insurance company that his crop
will be destroyed either by a hail
storm or a tornado. He goes in-
to the busine?s of raising swine
and bets that he c^n escape the
oholera and other disease that
hog flesh is heir to. He under-
takes tq feed cattle and bets his
crop against a note in the bank
that he will puli through and
have something left.

Tears and anguish are never
failing results of the gossip’s
house to house visits. Like a
reptile of the dust she' crawls
from home to hr/me leaving be-
hind poison and disaster. She
creeps into the church, the lodge,
the public assembly—not to help
or be helped, but to fill her glands
with fresh venom. Sometimes
she fawns, sometimes she smirks,
but never misses an opportunity
to-pick up fragment^ of conver-
sation that can be turned into
scandal. ^
People are afraid of her, try to
conciliate her, laboring under tb©
erroneous impression that they
can buy her good will with flat-
tery. They lack the courage to
spit upon her and defy her or
