"THE POOR GENTLEMAN"

A long while ago when Bristol,
England, was growing rich with the
profits of the West India trade, of
which it had almost a monopoly, a
stranger took lodging there toward
the close of the year, and used to visit
the coffee room of that famous old inn,
the Bush. He would arrive about
noon every day, and calling for six
penny glass of brandy and water sit
over it until he had carefully gone
through the London paper of the pre-
ceding evening.
The landlord of the Bush, seeing
how anxious he was to read the Lon
don paper, made it understood that
while he had it Gin hand" no one else
was to expect it. Rather seedy gar
ments, lean body, a confirmed stoop
and a limited expenditure of daily
sixpence, with nothing for the waiter,
clearly showed the newspaper reader
to be "poor gentleman" and by that
title he was soon distinguished. On
Christmas Eve honest John Weeks,
the landlord, anxious that the decayed
gentleman should have one good meal
at least in the Bush, delicately inti-
mated to him that on the following
day he kept open table, to which he
would be welcome free of cost.
Punctually at one o'clock the next
day the stranger appeared at the Bush
in his usual seedy attire. He partook
of the good dinner with the apparent
relish OF man to whom such feast
is novelty, and did due justice to
the "stunning ale" for which far and
near the Bush was famous. The din
ner was concluded. The decayed gen.
tlemen remained the last, and read the
London paper in the kitchen. When
he prepared to leave, the landlord re-
spectfully helped him to put on his
oyercoat, and at the same time slipped
a guinea into his hand. The poor gen.
tleman pocketed the coin with a smile
and sigh.
He came no more to Bush. But
shortly after the Bush itself was ad-
vertised for sale, with all its valuable
goodwill and appurtenances, and poor
Weeks was trembling at the thought of
being turned out by the new owner,
when he received a missive from Coutts
& Co., the London bankers, to the
effect that if he wished to acquire the
house he occupied, he might draw
upon them for the purchase money.
Fastening to London to thank his ben
efactors and convince himself of the
genuineness of the offer, he was intro
duced to Thomas Coutts, the head of
the great banking firm, who proved to
be no other than the "poor gentle
man." "The Bush guinea" it is said,
was afterward worn, mounted in a
bracelet, by the Duchess of St. Albans,
the widow OF Mr.. Coutts.

The LONGEVITY OF WOMEN.-A
report from the office of the registrar
general, of England, shows that there
are more female than male centena-
rians. Out of a million people 225
women reach the age Of 100 years,
while only 80 men round out the cen
tury. Now, the great conundrum
which is proposed is, Why is this so
According to the popular superstition,
it takes much longer for woman to
reach even the age of so than it takes
for man to reach that age. If this
is true, it makes the showing all the
more remarkable. 1t has even been
asserted that association with women
makes man live longer, as shown by
the fact that the average life Of the
married man is longer than the aver
age life of the single man. The fact,
however, is denied by the endman at
the minstrels, who says that the life OF
the married man is not really longer,
but only seems so.
So far there is no satisfactory expla-
nation of the original proposition why
more women live to be a hundred.
Some say it is because women are less
addicted to tobacco and strong drink,
others say that it is because it is
more healthy to spend money than ii
is to earn it, and so on. 1t may be
many of the men who would live to
be hundred are killed at an early
age in casualties to which women are
not exposed. 1t may be that tight
lacing is life preserver, and it may
be not a fact, after all. Possibly the

THE LAWYERS STORY.

many funny incidents in the law busi-
ness; but there is a sad side to some
of them, too, which makes me reflect
on how small a proportion of all hu-
man wrongs and misfortunes we are
able to relieve. One day, soon after |

ionably dressed woman came into my
Office. From her looks I judged she
was not much over twenty years OF

Mortified at the thought, and said:

"'Well, then,' said, probably you

GETTING RID OF THE CHINESE
A school teacher tells the following
tale with much gusto:
~ was giving geography lesson on
China the other day, and mentioned
its vast dopulation-over 400, 900, 900.
To present some idea of what such a
stupendous number implied, I explain
ed that if we calculated what must be
the corresponding number of deaths
among the Chinese, there must
be at least two persons die every time
we take a breath. The illustration
somewhat startled the boys, and al
involuntary gasp showed that it had
been appreciated. During the morn
ing I noticed a little fellow who ap'
peared very uncomfortable. His face
was flushed with exer;ion, and he was
putting and wheeling like an athmatic
steam engine.
"'What is the matter, Tommy ?'
1 inquired, with alarm; what are
you doing
"'Killing Chinamen,' he answered,
laconically. 81 don't like them for
eigners at all, at all, and I'm getting
rid ofjust as many as I can.'"

about $3.50, 900 to the widows and orphans
of deceased policy-holders in South Car

and if all the insurance now carried in
old line companies in the state was in the
Mutual Reserve, not less than $4O0, 900,
which now annually goes into the Golfers
of the former, would be left in the state
to help relieve the hard times about which
we hear 50 much.
