Advice From Washington.

Soon we celebrate the birthday or
George Washington.
He was a great soldier.
Nor is this all.
He was a wise man.
Among the papers of George Wash
ington, Father of His Country, there
was found, written in his own hand
and supposed to have been indited
when he was but thirteen what are
known as "The Rules for Civility and
Decent Behavior" 1t is not asserted
that washington was the author of all
these rules, numbering ITO, but Wash.
ington was their compiler, various
sources furnishing him the material
They are as apt and as pertinent to
day as they were one hundred and
twenty-five years ago.
| Among the most interesting Of
them are the following:
every action done in company
ought to be with some sign of respect
to those that are present"
"In the presence of others sing not
to yourself with a humming noise, nor
drum with your fingers or feet"
IF you cough, sneeze, sigh or yaWn
do it not loud, but privately; and
speak not in your yawning, but put
your handkerchief or hand before
your face and turn aside"
"Sleep not when others speak; sit
not when others stand; speak not
when you should hold your peace;
walk not when others stop"
spit not in the fire, nor stoop low
before it, neither put your hands into
the flames to warm them, nor set
your feet upon the fire, especially II
there be meat before it.
"When you sit down, keep your feet
even and firm, without crossing them
or putting one on the other"
Kill no vermin, as fleas, lice, ticks
and so forth. in the sight of others"
Turn not your back to Others es-
pecially in speaking; jog not the table
or desk on which another reads or
writes; lean not upon any one
BE no fatterer, neither play with
any that delights not to be played
with"
"Show not yourself glad at the mis-
fortune of another, though ne were
your enemy.
I'm walking, the highest place in
most countries seems TO be on the
right hand; therefore, place yourself
on the left hand Of him you desire to
honor But if three walk together,
the middle place is the most honor
able. The wall is usually given to the
most worthy if two walk together"
LET your discourse with men OF
business be short and comprehensive
go not thither where you know
not whether you shall be welcome or
not. Give not advice without being
asked, and, when desired, do it brief
ly."
BE not apt to relate news if you
know not the truth thereof. In dis
coursing of things you have heard,
name not your author; a secret dis
cover not"
Being set at meat, scratch not,
neither spit, cough nor blow your nose
except there's necessity for it"
Just memorize these principles OF
the Father of Your Country, Young
Man. and after you have memorized
them make them your rule of conduct
and you will come pretty near being a
gentleman and a successful man.

Necklace Found In River.

LONDON, May 26.-A valuable pearl
necklace lost in the Thames over a year
ago by a lady of title has just been re-
covered by its owner.
Some months ago a Henley-on- Thames
workman walking by the side of the
river near Shiplake Ferry saw something
glistening in the water, and on getting
the object out found it was a pearl neck
lace. Thinking the gems however. were
only imitation he casually carried the
necklace home in his pocket and gave il
to his wife.
She occasionally wore IL. but never
dreamed of it's real value until some
little time ago, when she broke the clasp
and took it to a local jeweler to be re-
paired The jeweler at once saw that
the pearls were valuable. and not satis-
fed with the woman's story he sent for
the police The pearls were handed over
to the custody Of the police. and in due
course were advertised by them az
found.
A day or two ago the necklace was
identified and claimed by a lady well
known in fashionable circles. who had
dropped it into the river while staying
at Thamesside mansion near Henley.
The pearls are valued at s40 or ESQ.
and the man who found them has re-
ceived a check for f5.

GOSSIP OF THE ACTORS
AT HOME AND ABROAD

Henry Woodruff, star of Brown of
Harvard which has passed it's one
hundredth performance at the Princess
Theater, New York and which, from
present indications. will be played there
all summer, has an interesting explana-
ton of why college plays have been
among the most successful productions of
recent years. The following article on the
subject is from the pen of the Shubert-
Henry Miller star:
"The college play has been an import
ant factor in the amusement field during
the past two years. A natural ques-
ton provoked by the scircums tance is
summed up in one word-Why?
"A man who has seen Brown of Har-
vard, 'Strongheart' and The College
Widow or any one of the three, be
he old or young, will not hesitate a
moment for the proper reply. He will
say the college play exists and is pat
ronized and admired because it pulsates
with youth, life, vigor and manhood:
because it is honest and clean, and be-
cause 1t depicts life at the most critical
and the most happy time of a mans
career. To the young man it presents
scenes and characters with which he
is familiar from present or recent asso-
citation: to the old man 1t revives vivid
memories of the most cherished days of
his life.
"One of the other sex, be she school
girl. old maid or matron, will have an
equally ready reply. Let women say
what they may, nothing interests them
quite so much as man, and the college
play shows him at probably the most
picturesque and interesting period of his
development The school girl has an
immediate interest in the college boy;
the old maids interest is reminiscent
but doubtless no less strong; while that
of the matron is based on girlhood expe-
rience and. perhaps, on the present
career of her sons.
Among the strongest reasons the col
1ege play is popular is the fact that
it is clean. 1t shows sturdy, manly
youth as yet uncontaminated by sordid
worldliness. College men who are
mean or base are rare. Most of them
indulge in more or fewer of the follies
of exuberant youth. have their fling. as
the saying goes. but the great majority
are honest and manly. They resent
gross suggestion and applaud probity
A presentation of such life attracts the
best. which is to say the largest element
in any community. man of family
finds in it the spirit he would inculcate
in his son and which he would have his
daughter admire.

dented audacity has just been commit
ted at Chalons-sur-M Marine by a prisoner
who was awaiting trial an the prison OF
that town on charges OF assault and rob-
berry and of attempted murder.
Not only has the man succeeded in es-
Gaping from the prison Dy means of a

the window, and succeeded in entering
the private room of the juge d'instruc-

his own case. and got possession of the
letters, depositions and documents con-
corning himself. as we'll as the various
articles found on him at the time of his
arrest. such as ms revolver. his burglar
tools. ETC.: and then, depositing a piece
of bread. his prison handkerchief. and his
prison slippers on the judges table, he
decamped.
His name is Giuseppe Fiore and he is
an Italian. He has been in prison await
ing trial for several months and had
been employees in making wire articles.
This morning at o'clock the head Jail
er on going to his cell. found that he had
arranged the bolster so as to resemble
somebody in bed
The man had APPARENTLY made his escape
about o'clock in the morning, and had
picked the lock of his cell with key in
geniously fashioned out of a piece of
wire. He had then made his way into the
store room. taken his own clothes, dis
carded the prison uniform and climbed
down from the store room window into
the prison yard by means of sheets tied
together, which were found still hanging
from the window.
He then smashed the front door Of the
