The Old English Gentleman

The Old English Gentleman.
New York sun
Recent events suggest that the
fine old English gentleman" has
become an extinct species. If it
were otherwise the late smuggling
match in the House of Commons
would not have been possible.
Quite as certainly the fine old
English gentleman would not have
Kissed and insulted Mr.. Gladstone,
Her Majesty's Prime Minister, at a
public function, in the presence of
the Prince of Wales.
The old English gentleman had
good deal of arrogant brutality in
his composition, but he would not
have done these things or tolerated
them. He was not fine grained
person, or one Of much dellcacy of
mind, but he respected the conven-
tionalities aud regarded with some
thing like awe the ma of ira

better than the sensuality which,
his successors, has made the
Cleveland street scandals possible.
He soaked himself too much with
beer and brandy ard old port, but
when drunk he boozed instead Of

After Secretary of the interior Hoke
Smith, Ill. D., was burned in ef1lgy
for having the name OF poor old
man stricken off the pension rolls, he
made haste to deny that he had any
thing to do with the suspension and
endeavored to fasten the blame on
the Com missioner Of Pensions. In
fnct he even went SO far as to ciatm
that he did not know who was stricken
off or who was not, Now, il this is

the commissioner a power which ii
solely vested in himself and which ht
could not give to the President of the

pension rolls, he shall have ouch nam

there is no power vested in the Com
missioner Of Pensions to do thl
work, in fact his name is not mon
toned.
1t is clearly tho duty OF the Seer,
tary OF the Interior to do this himself
and no cannot deputizo any one to d
1t for him. How is he to do it but by b,
ing satisfied that such names hav
been placed on the rolls fraudulently
There is but one way that he can b
satisfied of this, and that is by careful
investigation and examination. Blu
has this been done in a single case? "

A DOG AND a RArraAp. !
FOR n Time There Was Great Excitement

A sample rattrap was In Gerrish's drug
store in Lewiston few days ago waiting
for a customer. 1t was new tangled rat
trap, which some one had left there for fun
or sale or TO be called for.
The trap was set and was in the open
shop where 1t could be seen. About 1920
o'clock a big dog came in with little girl
or vice versa, although the dog was bigger
than the girl The little girl bought some
thing, and the proprietor was tying up the
package, while the dog went providing
