One thing of the present, however, be must admit would have been more to his liking had it existed thorn That is the matter of licking, or whaling, or hiding, or whatever was called the chastisement* he received as punish­ ment for youthful misdeeds, * W e assume that the youngsters these days have it much softer than we oldsters did because we read about *a school teacher being expected to apologize because she paddled a pupil and face an assault and battery charge because shd re­ fused, She contends she did only her duty, Perhaps the lad she paddled will have the same idea at some future time. How different from the good old days, when a licking at school meant two. Parents, far from expecting apologies when their offspring were whaled,, just piled oh the agony. A whal­ ing at school meant another at home just because a boy had been bad enough to be whipped at school. So no boy, went home and told his dad he had been punished by the teacher. He knew what would be in store for him in the family wood­ shed, - < p e o p l e w i l l T a l k A* man o f our acquaintance* was not in good health. He consulted a physician and he recommended a short series of treatments which in due time .were administered ?and the man recovered his health, That is the true statement pf the facts, Imagine the man's surprise when he met a friend on the street who said ; " I am so sorry, old man, to hear that you have to have an operation. And they tell me you will have to mortgage your home to pay the hospital b ill." That was gossip dnd gossip never tells the truth, And the longer gossips runs the greater the number of lies that pile up in its wake. Gossip carried by word o f mouth from one -person to an­ other, soon changes itself so that the original bit of news, that started it off developes itself into something entirely different from the real facts, The beginning is one thing., The end?, No­ body knows, ,One cannot deny the fact that chronic gossipers ; often deliberately, set out to4distort' the truth,; They give the essentials of a story la plausible twist which is readily accept­ able, yet which is, nevertheless, a lie, / „ That is why tittle-tattle has always been frowned down upon. That is .also why gossipers are usually, credited with in­ tent to deceive. On the other hand, there is a curious psycholo- . gical principle’ involved that makes it impossible for goSsip even to tell the truth, despite the very best of intentions to those who indulge in it. This psychological principal is called "Retrospective Falsification o f Memory." It is absolutely impossiblejfor an individual to repeat any­ thing that he hears word for Word. It is likewise almost im­ possible for him to remember, With absolute exactitude, the gist or essence of a, conversation.* The reason is that nobody's memory is perfect. Nobody's recollection is infallible, Now, then, when a piece of news is. repeated, the con­ scious tmud fills in the raembry gaps in order to make a logical Story. The larger the. number of items that have faded from memory, the greater becomes the ingenuity of the mind in-sub­ stituting and filling in. The poorer the memory the greaterjdie distortion of original fact. ,0 -■ W e try to be logical .when We gossip, With the result—*a pretty story that never was. Hence you cannot always depend S you. hear and we really should not? mind what they fMa-w-prid, for people will talk. , / OBSCURE PLACES T O TH E FRONT Who is there in this section o f the teountry that ever heard of Brule 'river Until President Coolidge’made it famous by his visit. As you drive through Wisconsin you hear the name of the. President mentioned ’frequently and that in a state that only four years ago cast its electoral vote for its native son, Senator LaFollette. Spending, a summer on this obscure river on the, part of the President has brought new history to the populace. Malcolm McDowell, a Chicago newspaper man gives us this story: / ‘There was a time, some 300 ye'ars ago,” Mr. McDowell says, "when the Bois Brule figured more prominently upon the white man's map than the Potomac did, for it was a much used portage route. The canoes of early French explores, famous Jesuit missionaries, and fur traders wbo made history traversed its placid stream in the olden time when the king of loanee field dominion oyer the great lakes country, "Etienne Brule, whose name fias been given to the little river Which so suddenly has been spotlighted, was one of the first, if not the first, of white men to see the waters of Lake Huron and Lake Superior and to discover the copper mines which gave the Indians the soft metal they used for orahmental and trading purposes. He was one o f the first early French explorers to visit the home lands of the Indians 'who lived along the southern shores of Lake Superior.and who used the Bois Brule portage. "H e came to Canada with tfie great Champlain in 1608, and when Champlain, ih 1 6 l0 , was making preparations to explore the interior of the country he governed for the French crown, he sent several young men to Indian tribes to learn their language so that he could have interpreters with him. Among them was Brule; who wandered with the Hutons along the upper reaches of the St. Lawrence river during the winter of 1610 and 1611, learning their tongue and ways, and was the first .white man, so far as known, to visit this country." cm FRIGIDAIRE . keeps fo o d colder and - pays for itself T h b cost o f FHftldaira i* Insignificant in com- twirfjOawfeh tbsbenefit* It give*.

Ifiynms maliciously sought to (urn tlie'deputy’s mind from tim faith. This' first obstacle euenun feted, as tlie. gospel waS'lleing carried, to the heatheu world, was overcome through the power of the Holy Spirit.
