The Libelous "They Say."
The one term, ''they say," is re
sponsible for nine-tenths of the Ihrs
which repetition and familiarity fin
ally convert into seemingly botia-fida
evidence. One usually hears nn ex
citing bit of gossip launched f rth
with thee words, while at the same
time the sjMiiker, adroitly shield
herself by declaring that, )crsonally,
she dots not know it to lie true. The
man or woman who thus screens
himself or herself is nothing short ot
a coward. Josephine Hill in thoi"f thel-ank an
