?LET HIM WITHOUT SIN CAST
THE FIRST STONE"
"False stories wore told about me.
1 was accused o f things I was abso
lutely innocent of. But my friends
distrusted me and my acquaintance
gave me the cold shoulder. My life
has been spoiled; I am tired and 1
am going whore the gossips can't
reach me."
Some days ago in Iron wood. Mich.,
a handsome young woman, fre?h and
vigorous in the prime of hor splendid
womanhood, committed suicide and
she l?ft the above note In explanation
of her act.
When she resorted to death to es
cape the evil tongue of slander the
peonle of Ironwood were shocked.
Some of them -were repentant. A
public funeral was held and a great
throng of people gathered to see the
body of the girl to her last resting
place. Xo one had an evil word to
say. the voice of slander was stilled.
Preachers eulogized her virtues, some
of her hypocritical friends were ob
served to she<l tears. It was gener
ally agreed that she was a pure and
virtuous girl, that her only sin had
been a lack of conventionality. The
very persons who bad hounded her to
self destruction, hedged and praised
her memory.
Hut the girl was dead.
Perhaps this girl was weak: per
haps she should have striven against
calumny: perhaps she should have
held to life despite the loss of friends
and her Rood name. But life is not
always easy and it often becomes un
bearably hard when one is friendless
and held up to public scorn. When
an innocent woman is robbed of her
reputation by the cowardly words of
slander, when her friends desert her
and her name is a by-word- she is
contending against great odds. She
denied that respect which is every
pure woman's due. It may be that
this young woman was weak: but it
is also likely that her burden exceed
ed her strength.
Ironwood. Mich., is not greatly dif
ferent from other towns. Every year
in other towns giris and women are
made 'he victims of slanderous report
and unfortunately we have no statis
tics to prove how many are alienated
from friends and driven to desperate
acts in this very manner.
The slurring sneer of the slanderer
has a keener sting than the stab of
tbe assassin's stilletto. It is the me
thod of cowardice, the weapon used
l y those who in most cases are not
as worthy as those whose reputations
they would impeach.
In nine cases out of ten. slander is
inspired by malice and envy.
It is easy to circulate a slander
without laying one's self open to re
sponsibility. A wink, the innuendo,
the vile allusion, few of these things
can be traced. But they spread In
an insidious manner and are retold b
the low and unthinking.
When a group of self righteous hy
pocrites were assailing a certain wo
man, Christ is reported to have said:
"Let him who Is without sin cast the
first stone."
This rule would make most mem
bers of the gossip's clubs ineligible..
Only the self righteous and the hy
pocrite are assiduous in seeking out
sin. People of broad toleration real
ize their own short comings and ex
cuse the faults in others. They apply
the Golden Rule.
Skagway has its full quota of gos
sips, male and female. And they do
not keep union hours, either. They
cheerfully will work overtime. Some
of these members of the Character
Assassins' association are merely Hill*'
Their brains cannot rise above the
plane of personal sossip. Hut others
are malicious and mendacious. All
alike are cowards. You never see a
slanderer with enough backbone to
stand responsible for any statement.
A little more charity is needed in
the daily conduct of life. Religion
should not be donned like a garment
Sunday, and laid aside the rest of the
week. Christ, himself, was broad and
charitable. He extended the helping
ha ad alike to the saint and sinner.
There are some people In Skagway
who could well follow his example.
| The atmosphere would be cleaner
| If they did.
It (low not surprise the friends of
John Snook to learn that he compel
led Harry Orchard, the arch-iuurderer
to go to work. John was always
strong on working prisoners.
Remove not the old landmark: and
enter not Into the 'ields of the father
less. ? Proverbs, Chapter 2o ? 10.

There is certainly rm mr of refine
ment aud style about the
EATON, CRANE & PIKE
writing papers, but those are by n
means the only requisites that they|
possess. Theso papers are beauti
ful to look at, agreeable to the touch.,
take the stamp of the monogram die
to perfection, have a most pleasing
writing surface, and are absolutely eo
rect as to size and shape.
Wo carry many of the Eaton,
Crane & Pike writing papers, and can |
recommend them all.
We also recommend other lines of 1
cur complete stationery stocK, such a
blank books, tablets, writing material
a fine assortment of Waterman's and j
