roving disposition. He delights to stroll over the country. and frequently can be seen plodding his way along a road the directors of which were reported to have considered at one time the advisability of charging him toll for the unusual heavy wear on the road. The direction in which he is ac- customed to walk is the outcome of an attempt on his part to demonstrate that he was impervious to the charms of womankind.
