In the hip pocket of an old vagr ant, pulled in by the police lately, was a memorandum book lull of his own writlings with a pencil, and some ot his philosonhy is good enough to be perserveu. ilis first paragraph reads: "Drinking bad whisky because it offered free, is liko getting in the way of bullets purchased by an enemy' A second reads: "Honesty is v! e best policy, but some person aro alUfied with sec ond best. It is hard to bo honest on an empty stomach." A iliird runs: "A dry plank under a rain-proof shod i better than a feather bed in jail, and one isn't annoyed by the aiier oringnr a square oreaiuasi.

"Pvliteuess costs nothing, l ot it is' not expected that you will wake a man up at midnight to ask his per mission to go thiough hi hen roost.' It is moro courteous to let him enjoy his needed repose." The seventh and last is noted down' as follows: , . , "Don't be ashamed M your occupa-.. tion.
