V GOING our beaten round of life, most of us at some time of our existence turn from our duteous path to seek the darkened corners of the whispering gallery, where we may converse beneath our breath with those of our intimates who, like ourselves, have itching ears craving solace from gossip. The more scandalous and salacious the twaddle, the more deeply colored it is with scarlet, the better do we enjoy rolling it over our tongues and extracting from It the poisonous sweets. As no language under heaven is forbidden in the whispering gallery, the atmosphere pervading it Is putrid, suggestive of mildew and decay. It Is in the whispering gallery that character is blackened. Unruly tongues babble without restraint, darting to and fro as once did the forked tongue of the serpent that lured Eve to eat the forbidden apple. It Is here that the truth is seldom and exactly uttered. To be just, even In the slightest degree, would conflict with the delightful pleasantries of the e meeting-place- , constantly growing in popularity with the growth of mankind. No one who habitually frequents the whispering gallery can be true to ones own heart or to ones friends. And it is this falsity to self and to friends, this wanton disregard of the ennobling things, which is causing friction in the world and slowly undermining our individual and civic content. Yet we go on from day to day with sullied tongues and minds without pausing to consider on how precarious a base we are posing, grinning false smiles, practicing deception and slandering our dearest associates. It is not probable in our human weakness that we shall ever be fairly just to one another, or follow even in a small way the teachings of the Golden Rule, but we can to some extent improve ourselves and let into our hearts more sunshine and substantial happiness by speaking no evil and turning our backs upon the whispering gallery, resolving no more to darken Its door, or court companionship with mischievous meddlers and busybodies. Let us make a start in this direction today and hold fast to the good purpose until the end of life. Every business man wants more business. He wants every possible purchaser in his trade territory to be his patron. He ought to use every possible instrumentality to get that business. Today the telephone is used by the most progressive houses to get new accounts, to close contracts and generally to transact business which formerly was handled by slow mail or by the more expensive method of sending a representative. Study the possibilities of the telephone, or, better still, talk to the telephone man about how it can be made more useful and profitable to you. There are low rates which may suit your needs.
