PRINCE AND SWEEP.

There Is street-sweep in Pail Mall,
London. who thinks he knows by sight
the finest and truest gentleman i'm Eng
land. This artist with n broom has wide
crossing not far from the entrance to
Marlborough house, and in rain or shine
he keeps IL clean for the throng of we'll
dressed men from the fashionable clubs
lie tips his hat 10 thousands Of passers,
and thinks himself lucky when he has a
penny for the service of sweeping the
crossing.
Only one gentleman ever returns the
salutation which he is never weary of
making. This Is a stout, broad-shouldered
figure with grayish beard and pleasant
face. whose appearance at the entrance OF
Marlborough house is always a signal for
cheering. The prince OF Wales is fond OF
taking a short stroll In the afternoon,
and frequently passes the crossing where
the ragged sweep Is stationed.
In an instant the sweeps hat is Off and
he is bowling low. Other men never see
him, but the prince never fails to ac-
knowledge the salute by bowling gravely
in return. When royalty has passed by
the sweep wields his broom with renewed
energy, muttering TO himself: Hes the
only real gentleman i'm London!'
A courtesy. even from the humblest, is
always worthy OF recognition. IL may be
only a smile or a motion of the hand but
the memory of II Is treasured by the
sweep whose tribute OF respect has not
passed unnoticed.-Youth's Companion.
