Rules
Jefferson
Lived By

The hundred and siIty-eighth ami
versary OF the birth Of Thomas JEFF
ferson was celebrated with big ban.
quot In Indianapolis April 10. In this
connection Jenerson's ten rules OF
life. which follow. will be Of interest:
l. Never put OF till tomorrow what
you can do today.
.. Never trouble another for what
you can do yourself.
8. Never spend money before you
have 1t.
I. Never buy what you do not want
because It is cheap; 1t will be dear
to you.
s. Pride costs US more than hunger.
thirst and cold.
6. We never repent Of having eaten
too little.
Z. Nothing Is troublesome that We
do willingly.
8. How much pain have cost us the
evils which have never happened.
8. Take things away by their
smooth handle.
10. When angry. count ten becore
you speak; II very angry. a hun
dred.
Here are some of the great prin-
,ciples Of government advocated by
Mr.. Jefferson in his first inaugural ad.
dress, March 4, 1901:
Equal and exact justice to all men,
Of whatever state Of persuasion, re-
,ligious of political.
Peace, commerce and honest friend
ship with all nations, entangling alli-
ances with none.
The support Of the state govern
ments in all their rights as the most
mestic concerns and the surest bull
warks against anti-republican tenden-
cies.
The preservation Of the general gov
ernment in its whole constitutional
vigor, az the sheet anchor Of our peace
at home and safety abroad.
A jealous care of the right Of elec-
tion by the people.
A mild and safe corrective Of abuses
which are Topped by the sword Of
revolution, where peaceable remedies
are unprovided.
Absolute acQuiescence in the deci-
sions Of the majority, the vital princi-
pies Of republics. from which there
II no appeal but to force the vital
principle and immediate parent of dss-
potism.
A well disciplined militia, our best
reliance and for the frst moments Of
war until regulars may relieve them.
Tho supremacy Of the civil over the
military authority-economy In tho
public expense, that labor may be
lightly burdened.
The honest payment of our debts
and sacred preservation of the public
faith.
The diffusion of information and ar.
raignment Of all abuses at the bar
of public reason.
Freedom Of religion. freedom OF the
press, and freedom Of person under
the protection Of habess corpus.
Trial by juries impartially elected.
These principles form the bright
constellation which has gone before
us. and guided our steps through an
age Of revolution and reformation. The
wisdom Of our sages and blood OF our
heroes have been devoted to their at
tatnment; they should be the creed
of our political faith; the text Of civic
instruction: the touchstone by which
to try the service of those we trust:
an. should We wander from them in
moments Of error or Of alarm, let us
hasten to retrace our steps and to re-
gain the road which alone leads to
peace. liberty and safety"

caution Smith few times about hit

left jab TO good advantage. although
he did not seem to DO much damage
with IT, He countered with his right
repeatedly.
Magiri was always wading In and
he covered cleverly. Ills right and
left swings which landed only occa-

he always got a fair exchange for his
punches. In the clinches Smith
worked for the solar pleNus. while
Magirl damaged the kidneys.
The ninth round almost proved

the end Of the round Magirl was
backed into his own corner. Smith
