WASHINGTON SAID.

Undertake not what you cannot per-
form; but be careful to keep your
promise.
Vile words should not be used in
jest or in earnest. Scoff at none, al
though they give occasion.
Haste not to relate news if you
know not the truth thereof. In talk
ing of thinks you have heard, name
not your author always. A secret
dispose not.
Associate Yourself with men of
good quality if you value your repu-
tation, for it is better to be alone
than in bad company.
Speak not when others speak, sit
not when others stand, walk not
when others stop.
Zealously strive to keep alive in
your breast that little spark of celes-
tial fire called conscience.
Think before you speak; pronounce
not imperfectly. nor bring out your
words too hastily. but orderly and
distinctly
Speak no evil of the absent; it is
unjust
Let us have a government by which
our lives, our liberties and properties
will be secure.
Be not hasty to believe flying re-
ports to the disparagement of any.

One may properly study the route
ahead of him enough to know where
he can find shelter and food at night;
but even without doing this there is
pleasure in depending on what one
may find of hospitality on applica-
ton at the farm houses or little viii
lagos on the way. Almost any where
public inns are frequent The sur
prises OF new country are always
charming and the most commonplace
pathway has something of novelty.
But the great charm of the thing
Is the freedom. Mother or wife or
sister Is not waiting supper for one.
The boarding house is forgotten. There
is no appointment to keep with any
body. What a relief to the city man!
The writer lately had a taste of
this kind of outdoor freedom in step

at random, and wandering for long

STRAY DOGS OF PARIS.
Intelligent Care Demanded by Ben
efjcent Municipality.

Paris is going at the stray dog
question in earnest. New regulations
have come into force in regard TO
the treatment of the dogs found on
the streets and new automoplle
service for their removal has peen
established.
That people often want to keep
straw dogs that they take a fancy TO-
is evident to Hebrard, superintendent
of that department. He said recent
ly: Under the new regulations any
person wishing to keep lost dog
must take it to the police station Tor
'examinatin by veterinary surgeon.
1t is then kept under observation tor
five days A receipt for the dog Is
given tosthe finder and If after five
days it is unclaimed and is found in
good health, it may be taken by the
finder-on the understanding that Il
remains at the disposal of the right
full owner for three years"
Just what such elaborate care for
CANNES in Paris will cost is not es-
timated; but it is apparent that there
are a great many people in the French
capital who are more than ordinarily
fond of dogs But to force the find
er of a dog to return it to its right
full owner any time inside of three
years seems hardship. If the
French idea were to obtain in this
country, there are many dog lovers
who would go to legal extremes tc

Walking Trims.

Excellent advice to young men who
have their vacation still to plan for
is given by recent writer who says
that walking trip through the coun-
try. especially in the fall. is one of
the most delightful forms of recrea-
tion. Rather than go to stuffy ho-
tel at the seashore where prices are
high and the crowds form a barrier
between oneself and nature. this writ
er would choose to tramp with light
knapsack over hill and field. all the
countryside around, perhaps with a
companion or two, or even alone.
