A True Gentleman.

A Chinaman entered Sixth avenue
elevated car the other afternoon, fol-
lowed by a trio of his American prog
eny. The car being nearly filled, all
scurried into separate seats The ten
yearold boy and the eight-year-old
girl had the facial angles and the tusk-
like teeth of their Confucisn ancestry.
The Youngest, a fve-year-old tot, had
chubby, though cream colored feat
ures, and a smile wherein the Caucas-
sian element predominated All had
little black eyes that twinkled and
cleaned like those of mice.
A passenger left the second seat from
thel Chinese paterfamilias and got out
at station The little tot sidled
across the aisle and stood by the vacant
seat, looking wistfully at her father
aud twisting her fingers. The gentle
man sitting next to the Chinaman-
gentleman, though in blue denim over
alls and hickory jumper, with tin
dinner pail beneath his feet, took in the
situation and changed to the next seat.
The child flew to her fathers side and
nestled there. She beamed her glee
across the car to her brother sAd sis
ter, and they grinned back. Half the
carful of people felt the contagion Of
good Fellowship. and smiled or grinned
according to their respective natures.
A lady, tall and gracious, passing
out with her escort, blushing brightly,
paused near the Chinsman, stopped
and patted the little ones cream-col.

words of praise to the delighted father.

1t may DO safely assumed in this nine

his conduct toward and treatment OF
those with whom, in the course of his
chosen avocation, he is brought in con-
tact. IL will also be granted that the or
binary rules which govern mankind are
equally applicable to the class which we
are accustomed to regard as politicians.
1t follows, If these propositions be
true, that those who most nearly approach
the rules of intercourse which the expe-
rience of ages has shown TO be the best
adapted to humanity in it's relations TO
its component parts, should be the most
successful as politicians.
But is this true2
1t needs but glance at the political
arena of to-day to establish the fact,
most apparent, that a sincere regard Tor
the laws which society has established
for its own protection is by no means
necessary to insure political success. 1t
