Many of his 111 spelled sayings were meaty, and one of them at least was worthy of Solomon. It was: “ The best way for a father to train his boy in the way he should go is to go that way himself.” Some years ago, when Josh was stay ing in the White mountains, lie was charmed by a beautiful spring of clear. Icy cold water which bubbled up at the side of the highway. He made the carriage stop and, removing his slouch hat. lay down on his face and drank a deep, refreshing draft. In compli ment to him the residents in the neigli borhood named the fountain “Josh Billings' spring,” and It has thus been known ever since. At the nearest village Josh l>ought a huge tin cup nud scratched on its side the warning: 1 uutrrieil an duooiim/iouH beauty.
