“Full of envy, murder, debate, dooeit, ma¬
lignity; whisperers.”
Paul was here calling the long roll of the
world’s roll villainy, and he puts In the midst
of tliis those persons known In all olties
and communities and places as whisperers.
They are so cnlled because they generally
speak under voloe and In a confidential
way, \heir baud to the side of their mouth
acting ns a funDel to keep the precious In¬
formation from wandering into the wrong
ear. They speak softly not because they
have laok of lung force or because they are
ovorpowerod with tho spirit of gentleness,
but because they waul: to escape the conse¬
quences of dofamation. If no one hoars
but the person whispered unto, and theof-
fender bo arraigned, he can deny the whole
thing, for whisperers are always flrst-olass

Some from people cold whisper because they are
hoarse a or because they wish to
convey some useful information without
disturbing others, but the creatures photo¬
graphed by the apostle In my text give
muffled utterance from sinister and de¬
only praved bear motive, the sibilant and sometimes sound you ietter can
as the
“8” drops from the tongue Into the listen¬
ing ear, the brief hiss^of the serpent as It
projects its venom.
Whisperers are masculine and feminine,
with a tondenoy to majority on the side of
those who are called “the lords of
creation.” Whisperers are heard at every
window of bank cashier and are beard in
all counting rooms as well as In sewing
societies and at meetings of asylum direc¬
tors and managers. They are the worst
foes of society, they responsible for miseries of the in¬
numerable; are the scavengers
world, driving their cart through every
community, and to-day I holdup for your
holy anathema and execration these
Whisperers. From the frequency with which Paul
speaks of them under different titles I oon-
olude that he must have suffered some¬
what from them. Hts personal presence
was very defective and that made him,
perhaD3, the target of their ridicule. And,
besides that, he was a bachelor, persisting
In deed his*celibaoy all down Into the sixties, in¬
the way through, and, some hav¬
ing failed In their connubial designs upon
him, the little missionary was put under
the r.ikiug lire of those whisperers. He
was no doubt a rare morsel for their scan-
dallza Ion, and ho cannot keep his
patience any longer, and he lays hold of
these miscreants or the tongue and gives
them a very hard setting down in my text
among the scoundrelly and the murderous.
“Envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers.”
The law of libel makes quick and stout
grip of open slander. If I should in a
plain way, calling you by name, charge
you with fraud or theft or murder or un-
cleanness, to-morrow morning I might huve
peremptory documents served on me, and
I would have to pay in dollars and cents
for the damage I had done your character.
But these small oreaturos they spoken of the In fine my text
are so that escape tooth

on, escaping tho judges and the juries and
the penitentiaries. find them, the The sheriff district attorney find

Shut them off from one route of perfidy and
they start on another. You cannot by the
force of moral You sentiment persuade them to
desist. might as well read the Ten
Commandments to a flock of orows, {ex¬
pecting them to retreat under the force of
moral sentiment. They are to be found
their everywhere, paradise these Is whisperers. village I about think
a country of
1000 or 2000 people, where everybody
knows everybody. But they all also are to be
found In large quantities in our cities.
They have a prying disposition. They
look into the basement windows at the
tables of their neighbors and can tell just
what they have morning and night to eat.
They other can people see as far through with a keyhole door wide as
oan sea a
open. They side can hear conversation on the
opposite of the room. Indeed, the
world to them Is a whispering descends gallery. tho
Some morning a wife Into
street, her eyes damp with tears, and that
Is a stimulus to the tattler and Is enough
to set up u business for three or four
weeks. “I guess that husband and wife
don’t live happily together. I wonder If he
hasn’t been abusing her? It’s outrageous.
be Ho ought to be disciplined. He ought to
brought up before the church. I’ll go
right over know to about my neighbors and I'll let
them this matter.” She
rushes in all out of breath to a neighbor’s
house and says: “Oh. Mrs. Allear, have
you heard the dreadful news? Why, our
neighbor, poor thing, came down off the
steps In a flood of tears. That bruto of a
husband has been abusing her. Well, it’s
just as I expected. I saw him the other
afternoon very smiling and very graoious
to some one who smiled ' bHCk, and I
thought I would just go up to him and tell
him he had better go home and look after
hi* wife and family, who probably at that
very time were upstairs crying their eyes
out. Ob, Mrs. Allear, do have your hus¬
band go over and put an end to this
trouble. It’s simply outrageous that our
neighborhood should be disturbed In this
way. It’s awful.”
The fact Is that one man or woman set
on fire of this hellish spirit will keep a
whole neighborhood a-boll. It does not
require any very great brain. The chief
requisition Is that the woman have a small
family or no family at all, because would If she
have a large family, then she have
to stay at home and look after them. It is
very Important that she be single or have
no children at all, and then she can attend
to all tho secrets of the neighborhood all
the time. A woman with a large family
makes a very poor whisperer.
It is astonishing how these whisperers
gather up everything. They know every¬
thing that happens. There are telephone
and telegraph wires reachmg from their
ears to all the houses in tho neighborhood.
They have no taste for healthy news, but
for the scraps and peeling thrown out of
scullery into the back yard they have groat
avidity. On the day when there is & new
scandal in tho newspapers they have no
time to go abroad. On the day when there
are four or live oolumns of delightful pri¬
vate letters published and reads in a divorce and case she
Stays at home reads and
reads. No time for her Bible that day, but
toward night, perhaps, she may And time
to run out u little while and see whether
there are any new developments.
Satan does not have to dominion keep a very sharp
lookout for his evil In that
neighborhood. He has let out to her the
whole oontract. She gets husbands and
Wives into a quarrel and brothers and sis¬
ters into antagonism, and she disgusts the

before were klmlly disposed toward each

One riage of the neighbors passes by In a car¬
they hiss through their teeth and
say, “Ah, we could all keep carriages if we
never paid our debts!”
When two or three whlsporers get to¬
gether, they stir a caldron of trouble,
which makes me think of thethree witches
of “Macbeth” dancing around a boiling
Oaldron In a dark cave;
Double, double, toll and trouble,

I would only change Shakespeare in

what a caldron! Did you ever get a taste
of it? I have more respeot for the poor
waif of the street that goes down under
the gaslight, with no home and no God—
for she deceives no one as to what she is—
than I have for these their hags of respectable claws with
society who cover up tiger
a fine shawl and bolt the bell of tbelr
heart with a diamond breastplnl
The work of masculine whisperer* Is
chiefly seen in the embarrassment of busi¬
ness. Now, I suppose, there are hundreds
of men here who at some time have been
in business trouble. I will undertake to
say that la nine cases out of ten it was the
result of some whisperer’s work. The
carriage because you had no use ior them,
and the whisperer said: "Sold his horse
The faot*that'i»so?d hto horn ami oarrla^e
shows he Is going down In business.”
One of your friends gets embarrassed
and you are a little involved with him. The
whisperer says: "I wonder if he can stand
under all this pressure? I think he is going
down. I think he will have to give up.”
You borrow money out a bank and a dlreo-
tor whispers outside about It, and after
awhile the suspicion whisperer’s gets fairly started and
it leaps from one lips until all lips to an-
other whisperer’s their and the people
you owe want money want it
rlght away and the business oiroles come
around you like a paok of wolves, and,
though you had assets four times more
than were necessary tomcat yourllablll-
ties, crash went everythiugl Whisperers!
Oh, how much businessmen have suffered!
I think among the worst of the whis¬
perers are those who gather up all the
harsh things that have been said about
you and bring them to you—all the things
said against you, or against your family,
or against your style and of business. They
gather them all up they bring them to
you, they bring them to you In the very
worst shape, they bring them to you with¬
out any of the extenuating olrcumstances,
andaftgr they have made your feelings all
raw very raw, they take this brine
this turpentine, this aqua fortis, and
rnh It in with w ft coarse towel nnd ruh it !t In 1
until it sinks , , to the . n bone. „ They make , you
the pincushion they In which have they thrust all the
sharp things don’t ever heard about
you. "Now, anybodyl bring me into a scrape.
Now, don’t tell told yen.- Let it
be between you and me. Don’t Involve me
in it at all.” They aggravate you to the
point of profanity, and then they wonder
you cannot sing psalm tunesl They turn
you on a spit before a hot fire and wonder
why you are not absorbed In gratitude to
them because they turn you on a spit. Ped¬
dlers of night shade. Peddlers of Canada
thistle. Peddlers of nux vsiniea. Sometimes
they get you in a corner where you cannot and
very well escape without being rude,
then they tell you all about this one, and
all about that one, and all about the other
one, and they talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
After awlple they go away leaving the
place looking like a barnyard, after the
foxes and the weasels have been around;
here a wing, and there a claw, and yonder
an eye, and there a crop. How they do
ma ke the feathers fly!
Jesus Christ had these whisperers after
Him, and they charged Him with drinking
too much and keeping bad company. “A
wine bibber and the friend of publicans and
sinners.” You take the best man that ever
lived and put, a detective on his track for
ten years, watching where he goes and
when he oomes, and with a determination
to misconstrue everything, and to think
he goes here for a bad purpose and there
for a bad purpose, with that determina-
tion of destroying him, at the end often
years be will be held despicable In the
alol-it TfifLS of a mnnv nnnnle ;
If it is an outrageous thing fn to despoil a
man s character, how much worse is it to
damage a woman’s reputation? Yet that
evil grows from century to century, and It
is all done by whisperers. A suspicion is
started. The next whisperer who gets
hold of it states the suspicion as a proved
fact, and many a good woman, as honor¬
able as your wife or your mother, has been
whispered whispered out of into all kindly association*
And the grave. Some
people say there hell is no hell, despoiler but if
there be no for such a.
of womanly character it is high time
that some philanthropist built one.
But there Is such they a will place have established, all and the

And I agree with him.

CAUGHT BY A HAIR.
One of the Slightest Clues That Ever Put •
Man In Prison.
"The least thing I ever heard of that
put a man in prison was the clue that
took me over the road between here
and New York about a dozen times in
1873, when I was an iaspector in tne
postal service,” said an old sleuth the
other day to another who had just told
a good story.
"It was an old case. It had been on
the books a long while. Four or live
good men had taken a try at it, but the
fellow was too sly, and he kept taking
letters and we could never take him.
The complaints pointed very closely to
tTio spot where the trouble was, but
when we got there we were complete-
jy baffled.
“i hud myself worked on the Job a
nttle and gone at something else. In
a n these detective cases it is in nine
times out of ten a mere chance that
leads to success. One day I happened
( 0 take out of a pigeonhole In my desk
a bunch of decoy letters that had been
Bent over the line to catch this sharp
rascal, who was robbing Washington
people of their remittances to New
York. Somehow I slid my knife
through the sealed Joints of an en¬
velope, and there, caught in a corner,
was a short black hair. T-e flap of
the envelope looked as If it had not
been meddled with. Yet it had been
opened and a dollar bill duly marked
had been taken out and the envelope
sealed up and put back In the mall.
“I took that hair up as carefully as
if it had been a diamond I had found.
I knew that just across Seventh street
was a friend of mine, now dead, who
had a powerful microscope. I rushed
up to his office and asked him to let me
use his instrument a moment. Under
the glass the hair seemed to be one
from a man’s mustache. I looked at it
a long while and so did my friend.
We agreed that it was a whisker, sure
(•rough, and I was confident it was a
piece of the thief we wanted to catch.
If we had stopped there and gone after
him we should have failed again as
completely as ever before. To make
assurance doubly sure 1 went to an
optician and he put the hair under the
most powerful microscope he had. Al¬
most without hesitation he said: ‘This
la not a black hair, but a red one
dyed black. It is red at the end.'
“I looked for myself, and sure
enough It was so. I went back to the
office, put my desk In order, got all the
data in this case, and that night started
over the lino to New York once more.
We wore satisfied the thief worked be¬
tween Philadelphia and New York, so
I took it easy until I got to the Dela¬
ware river. Then I got down to busi-
ness. I saw every man that handled
through pouches from there on to New
York, and I took a mental photograph
of every mustache in the service be¬
tween Philadelphia and New York. I
looked for black mustaches and for
red ones, and I was especially inter-
es ted in anv that had the least Sign of
being dyed.‘ At Trenton I found a red
mustache. blit I went On to the end of
I the , , loute , still H11 i looking nn v; n(T f for nr another nnnther of 01
j that shade. I found none. That chap
j was my man. I came back home, and
for a week played toss and catch with
him, sending through his hands per¬
haps fifty decoy letters, some with
stamps in them, some with dollar bills
and some with money orders. In less
than two weeks we had him, and he
went over the road for two years and
eight months, and the trouble stopped.
“It all began with my finding that
one little stubby hair in the corner of
that envelope.”—Washington Star.

LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM.
[LITTX* TO MS*. P1NKHAU HO. 67,104]
“ I cannot express my gratitude to
you for the good that Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound lias done
for me. I have taken Are bottles of
the Compound and two boxes of Liver
Pills and feel better in every respect.
I had suffered for years with dropsy;
the veins in my limbs burst, caused
from the pressure of the water. I had
the worst kind of kidney trouble, faint¬
ing spells, and I could not stand long
at a time. I also had female weakness
and the doctor said there was a tumor
in my left side. The pains I had to
stand were something 1 dreadful. A
friend handed me a little book of yours,
so I got your medicine and it has saved
my life. I felt better from the first
bottle. The bloating and tba tumors
have all gone and I do not suffer any
pain. I am still using ths Vegetable
Compound and hope others may find
relief os I have done from its use.”—
Miss N. J. Lockhkart, Box 16, Eliza¬
beth, Pa.
Only the women who h»ve *nffered
with female troubles can fully appre¬
ciate the gratitude of those who have
been restored to health.
Mrs. Pinkham responds quickly and
withoutoharge to all letters from suffer¬
ing women. Her address is Lynn, Mass.
