In after years, as he casts his telescope qt memory back oyer the vaulted skies Of the Zenith of his fame, he usually exclaims. "My life then was a series of victories and my vocation then was the jawbone that stayed my opposition and made it possible to achieve those glories." Not so with my friend of Virgie, for he decries the idea that be ever was a pill agent l* a drug store and in his anger cast* ominous glance* at the whole profession. Now,.

Quite a little trouble has been caused in our little village in the past week by busy-bodies. At a party here sometime since, a young lady, while speaking with a young man, who was relr.ting something in whi h he had failed, said she was glad of it. Just prior to her saying this, the report was circulated that our late president could not recover. A bystander, one of those creatures who have more time than a tramp and more money than brains, and wno is sometimes called "a tattler,” took it into his head that she spoke thus because of the doubtful recovery of the President, and proceeded to relate the story as the truth to everyone he met. Dame Gossip, you know, spreads reports swifter than a flash of lightning and increases their greatness with the speed, and before more than half-a-dozen poeple knew the story there were two “traitors” instead of one. The affair is not yet settled and of course, more people are becoming entangled in this tangled web and the story is becoming quite complicated, Tha' is what comes of making a mountain out of a mole hill- Why can’t gossipers, tatlers and o hers of this character be banished to foreign lands and distant seas?
