TRUE GENTLEMEN.
Rough Workingmsn Who Are Respectful
TO Women.

TO Women
1t has been de monstrated- on many
occasions that it is not necessary for
man to have his clothes cut in the lat-
est fashion, to have diamonds spark
ling on his shirt front and to wear silk
underwear in order to come under the
head of gentle men" An example of
this is given daily on Plum street, near
Twelfth, says the Cincinnati Times
Star. The thoroughfare above the last
named street is used by the young
ladies of the college of music, who
live in the West end, for by using the
rear entrance to the college they save
themselves q walk of almost two
squares. Just below the entrance to
the college is located one of the large
depots of the Cincinnati Ice company.
and here daily there are from six to
ten men employed loading the wagons
of the company. In order TO do this 1t
Is necessary to lay chute from the
house To the wagons, and in no case
have the men failed to remove the
chute in order to let the young ladies
pass. In other ways, too, do these
rough, honest fellows show their re
spect for the ladies, and ii Is an ac-
cepted fact at the college that il Is
much safer and more pleasant for a
young lady to go by the way of Plum
street than to run the gantlet of the
medical students on Twelfth street.
The ogling and the remarks that are
usually made when young lady
passes a crowd of we'll bred 90 young
men are entirely foreign to these men.
and they show their Difference for the
fair sex by being discreetly quiet and
keeping their eyes to themselves.

"A young lady employed by gold
and silyerSmith in New York has only
her good looks to thank for the fact
that she Was allowed to resign without
being prosecuted for theft" remarked
a resident of brooklyn, according To
the St Louis Globe-Democrat. she
has an extraordinarily fine head of hair
which she allows To hang loosely over
her shoulders and nearly down to her
waist. From time To time IL was no.
ticed that the gold used in the room in
which she worked did not go as far as
it ought in making jewelry and gem
settings, and that even allowing for
the filings, which are most carefully
preserved, there was distinct leak
age.
Steps were taken to subject the EN-
plOyes to a more rigid search, but no
discovery was made until the young
lady with the long hair quarreled with
her roommate over love affair, and in
a tit of jealousy her rival gave away
the most interesting story The young
lady had kept her hair well creased,
and then while at work would fire.
quently pass her fingers through it cas-
ually, as though il were : mere matter
of habit
BY the process she accumulated
good deal of gold dust in her hair and
sometimes dropped some diamond chips
as well. Every night she combed out
her locks with the smallest of tooth
combs, carefully collected the pecul-
iarly purloined treasure-trove and sold
il without any difficulty. She broke
down completely when taxed with the
offense, made restitution as far as she
was able, and her tears and promises
were so profuse that she was then al
lowed To depart in peace, although her
employer somewhat inconsistently took
measures To prevent her obtaining
further employment in the business in
which she WAS an expert"
