WHAT'S a GENTLEMAN?
Two Dollars q Year.

What is a gentleman? Is ita thing
Decked with scarf pin, chain and ring,
Dressed in suit Of immaculate style.
sporting an ByeglasE, a lisp and 9 smile;
Talking OF operas. concerts and batis
Summing himself ut Homes " and b ,zars,
Whistling mazurkas and smoking cigars!
What is a gentleman Say. it isone
Boosting OF cOnquests and deeds he has done!
One who unblushingly gloriss to speak
Things which should call up Hash to his
cheek?
Ore, who. whilst railing at actions unjust.
Robs some young heart of its pareness and
trust:
Scorns to ateal money. jewels or wealth.
Thinks 1t no crime to take honor by stealth!
What is Rentleman2 Is it not one
Knowing instinctively what he should shun.
speaking word that can injure or pain,
Speaking no scandal and deepening no stain!
One whu knows how to put each at his ease,
Striving instinctively always to please;
One who can tell by q glance at your cheek
When to be silent and when he sh ould speak3
What is a gentleman? Is it not one
Honestly eating the bread he has won.
Living in uprightness, fearing his God,
Leaving no stain on the path he has trod,
Caring not whether his coat may be old,
Przing sincerity far above gold;
Rocking not whether his hand may be hard
Stretching IN boldness to grasp his rewardl
What is a gentleman? Say is it birth
Makes d man noble. or adds to his worth?
IL there family tree to be had
spreading enough to conceal what is bad?
Seeking out the man who has for his guide;
Nothing to blush for and nothing to hide,
BE he a noble or be he low in trade
This is the gentleman Nature has made.

few days ago his only child died from
pneumonia, and he was deeply grieyed az
his loss. He was seen yesterday after
noon at Inselmann's cockpit LOOKING at
the cock fights, and was also seen later in
the evening He was sober and had not
been drinking. He went home last
night about ~ O'Clock to his
house south Of the International
& Great Northern railway depot,
knocked on the door and his
wife opened 1t. He staggered
across the threshold, threw his
arms about her neck and said; 'Ill
only have a few more minutes to stay
with you,r and saying this he tried TO
hand her a small vial, which dropped
from his hand. His wife caught the vial,
read the word poison on the label, and as
her husband sank TO the floor, she pro-
cured dose of hog's lard and forced him
to swallow 1t, and then she sent for DR..
Amos Graves. Flores vomited between
his severe commissions, but this did not
relieve him, and he died ere DR.. Graves
could arrive. Suspicious were at first
entertained that it was foul play,
from the fact that he did not live happily
with his wife, and she had recently had
him placed under bond to keep the peace.
An inquest was held, the decision Of
which was suicide. In the afternoon
Flores was buried by the Mexican Beney-
olent association, OF which order he was
a member.
