Just to the right of the
is an open hall door, from be-
hind which the shot was evident-
fired, the assailant escaping
through the side hall door.
There are foot marks on the
freshly painted steps. The deed
was evidently committed by one
familiar with the house, who had
secreted himself Sus-

One who observes well often
sees indications and suggestions
that the as the
older people sometimes call them,
are not altogether and uniform-
courteous, which means that
good manners are somewhat
passing jut If this is true it
a pity; for nothing so commends
one as good manners coupled
with a good life. To be sure,
some people whose lives are
and whose characters are
above reproach, have blunt and
repelling manners. But even
with these people it would be far
better for all if good manners
were coupled with the correct
life and unsullied character. It
is not always an intention to be

ten-times the spirit of

people they forget to lay it aside
when older persons appear to

are all well enough, and some-
time frivolity is really good
place; but nothing should ever
be so far as to make it
seem a sacrifice of good manners.

it went on to Cumberland and to

turnpike, the old national road went
through the Ohio valley and on to
Illinois, which was then the end of
civilization. Over this road the old
