Success agazme. A lawyer in a courtroom may call a man a liar, scoundrel, vil-lian or theif and no one make a complaint when court has adjour ned. If a newspaper prints such reflections ot a man's character, there is a libel suit or a dead editor. And this must" be owing to the fact that people believe what an editor says; what a lawyer says cuts no figure. Fullerton Tribune.

G. Meschke Co. Kind Words. Kind words do not cost much. They are quickly spoken.

They do not blister the tongue that ut ters them. They never have to be repented of: They do not keep us awake till midnight. It is easy to scatter them. And oh, how much good they may do They do good to the person from whose lips they fall. Soft words will soften the soul.

Thev will smooth down the rough places in our natures. Care to say kindly things will drill our natures in kindness. It will help pull up all the roots of passion. It will make the conscience delicate and the disposition gentle. A woman cannot make a habit of speaking kind words without arguments her own gracious temper.

But better still will be their influence upon others. If cold words freeze people, and the hot words scorch them, and bitter words reproduce themselves, kind words sooth and quiet them and com fort the hearer. They all the better elements of one's nature come trooping to the surface. They melt our stubbornness. TheJ arouse our appreciation of better things.

Let us say the kindly word. No one can tell how many ditcouraged souls may be inspired. Say it every day; to the one who disturbs you while you are busy, asking for work; to the one who has almost lost hope; to all. Remember, kind words can never die. Sacred Heart Review.
