EDWIN WAKEFIELD,
Governor of Maryland.
By the Governor:
OSWALD TILGHMAN,
Secretary of State.

Here are some rules of conduct
made up by Thomas Jefferson which
have seldom been seen in print.
l. Never put off till tomorrow what
you can do today.
9. Never trouble another for what
you can do yourself
3. Never spend your money before
yos have it.
The boy had to describe our Lords
first miracle. The turning Of water
into wine, he wrote, was the first mir
scle, and it happened at Cana. Then
he added: "And after that erybody
went to Cana for water"
5. Pride costs US more than hun
ger and cold.
6. We never repent for having eat
en- too little.
7. Lots of excuses are not worth
the trouble it takes to make them.
8. There is no such thing as an idle
rumor. 1t is always industrious.
9. The natural bent OF some men is
about as straight as corkscrew.
The objectionable sin, in the eye.
of woman, is not to admire her.

The examinations made at the Great
st. Bernard show that the pass was
not only used by foot passengers, but
by horsemen In Roman timea It
seems that it was safer route IN the
time Of Vitellius than until the hast
few years. Excavations demonstrate
that there were two buildings, much
farther apart than Is the present road.
There was a temple there, and some
fifty votive tablets have been found.
1t must always have been place Of
refuge, though often subjected to at
tack. Signs Of violence are demon
strated by the fact that votive tablets
have been discovered broken and
thrown into the swamp below. 1t was
in the eleventh century that st. BeT-
nard Of Mention founded the modern
hospice

streets ofsSt Petersburg alone wrapped
in a large4gray cloak. It was forbid
den to speak to him, but the czar some
times forgot that a subject could NOT
obey the prohibition Il the emperor
addressed him.
Once the czar met IN park the
tenor singer Of the Italian opera and
exchanged few words with him. The
moment the car was out Of sight the
police arrested the tenor. That even
ing the czar attended the opera, where.
after a long delay. the manages an

found. Nicholas guessed what had
happened and sent an aid-de-camp to
release the singer.
A few days after the car again met
the tenor and began with an apology:

Italian exclaimed, mot to speak to me?

amount Of money owing to him. The
