Il have nothing to say in regard TO
the basis of the settlement" said he.

the suit was dismissed.
Miller refused TO discuss the de-
tails of the affair on the advice of his

TIP FOR USERS OF PROFANITY.
Swearing Is Nothing But a Habit and
1t Is Very Easily Cured.

Don't swear, Or you'll catch no
fish" was a remark made by a veneer
able inhabitant to a much younger
man. who was emphasizing his talk
by the use of some rather strong eX-
pletives No one was engaged in fish
iEg at the time. nor was a piscatOrial
excursion being thought of The sug-
gestion was made in the back room
of cigar store where three or four
men were talking over current events,
and the utterance made by the aged
citizen was intended, as he afterwards
said, to show his adherence 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, were 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 pas
sion or great excitement, person may
indulge in swearing, but that some
men, and I know several of them,
should break out with a series of
0aths in ordinary everyday cOnversa-
ton strikes me as beyond reason.
Il presume we have all met men
who regard themselves, and are so
considered, gentlemen, who rarely ex-
press a sentiment without swearing.
More than that, they seem rather
proud of their proficiency in this direc-
ton / tell you that swearing is
habit that little determination will
easily overcome"
The sermon, coming from the lips
of a man whose hair and long beard
were as white as snow, had good eff
feet. The cigar merchant was so i'm
pressed that he declared he would
hang up a sign in his back room which
should read: Gentlemen are re-
quested not to swear on these prem
ises" Whether they allowed them
selves the privilege of ''cussing" else
where, he said, was no affair of his
Washington Post.

LITTLE OLD NEW YORK.

miles are living over 100000 peo-

The improved methods of transpor-

miles, within which are located 1854

city can be appreciated. One Of the
assurances of a continued and perma-

Besides this permanent increase
New York is entertaining an average
of over 10000 transient visitors ev-
