Easily Cured.
Don't swear or you'll catch no
fish," was a remark made the other
day by venerable inhabitant to a
much younger man who was en-
phasizing his talk. by the use Of
some rather strong expletives. No
one was engaged in fishing at the
time, nor was a, piscatorial excur-
sion being thought of. The sug-
gestion was made in the back room
of a cigar store, where three or four
men were talking over current
events, and the utterance made by
the aged citizen was intended, as he
afterward said, to show his abhor-
renee of the nonsensical use OF
"cuss words" Then he felt called
upon to deliver a little homily to
his companions, all of whom, like
himself, are we'll known residents OF
Washington.
"Men incur habits" he said,
"that are really useless, and, in my
opinion, swearing is one Of the
worst of them. One can see why,
in moments of passion or great ex-
citement, a person may indulge in
swearing, but that some men, and l
know several of them, should break
out with series of oaths in o-di-
nary everyday conversation strikes
me as beyond reason.
II presume we have all met men
who regard themselves and are so
considered as gentlemen who rare
" express a sentence without
swearing. More than that, they
seem rather proud of their prof.
cheney in this direction. tell you
that swearing is a habit that little
determination will easily over
come"

was so impressed tha he declared
he would hang up sign in his
back room which should read,

Swear on These Premises" Wheth-
