But dress, though it be the first
and most obvious, is the least charac-
teristic of tho gentleman. In his
manners ho must not think himself
tho principal person in tho world,
the kingdom or tho company, but
without parade of humility, which
is in itself an offenso, he must think
himself tho least—or, at all events,
he must act as if he thought so.
Ho must not fail in deferential po-
liteness, either to man or woman.
He must not take the first place as
if it were his inalienable right. Ho
must not, at table or elsewhoro,
commiot acts which, though they
may bo harmless in themselves, aro
contrary to the prevalent notions of
his time and country.

Two French scientists say that

To hear one man's voice overriding
every other's and one man's opinion
thundered into the ears of too timid,
too indolent or too cuorteoua to do
battle with a Stentor, is fatal to
Stentor's claims to be considered a
gentleman.
And quite as essential as manners
)f the character is
conversation. A man in the dress
and with tho manners of a gentleman
must not talk vulgarly, indecently,
obscenely, irreverently, or even ig-
norantly—if the ignorance be very
gross—without forfeiture of the rank
to which his dress and his manne.-a
wo ild seem to entitle him.
But granting all these three oasen-
tiala—the would-be gentleman would
not be a gentleman if his heart be
wrong. Dress is an ornament—man-
nors a graco—conversation a charm;
but these threo may be possessed in
all possible perfection by a scoun-
drel. But these three combined
with a noble heart and a sound judg-
ment the one balanoing the other—
combine to form a true gentleman.
Been to come out of a flat building,
with a mouse trap in his hand. A
yellow dog was loping along on the
other sido of the street. The man
with the trap whistled to him and
shouted "Sic 'em" two or three
timea. The fool dog didn't catch on,
but continued his lazy trot until ha
came to an alley, into which he ran,
probably to dig up a bone hidden
when his stomach had no aching
void. The man looked disgusted and
said something to himsolf that
soundad harsh. Then ho unhooked
the top of tho trap and out jumped
the tiny mouso. Tho animal hopped
off toward the stone curbing at a
higher rate of speed than a toad
would take, but much aftor the same
Btyle of jump. The man had
made up his mind to let the
poor little mouse havo its free-
dom when an English sparrow,
which had been watching operations
from a neighboring gable, darted
into the street. He flew at the mousa
viciously, spreading his wings wide-
ly as a spring chicken doos when a
dispute arises with a mate over a
kernel of corn. Tho mouse continued
to bound along tho pavoment when a
heavy express wagon rolled by and
the sparrow retired temporarily
from the attack. When the danger
was past he was again after the
strange enemy, but was re-enforced
by two more sparrows. Then there
was some sport rarely witnessed.
The mouse ran hither and thither in
search of a crack in the curbstone,
whilo his tantalizing enemies wero
striking wicked blows at him with
their bills and flapping him about
the hoad with their wings. The
mouso was bewildered but held its
own in a wonderful manner against
the great odds, and, when about to
surrender, along came an electric
car with a loud whirr that scattered
the sparrows and gave the mouse an-
other chance. Before they had time
to return to thecha3o he had rcached
the end of tho curbing, whore he
squeezed into a small crack and es-
caped under the sidewalk.
