4 Warning.

The secretary Of state asks that at
tention be called the fact that q lsW
was passed by the legislature prevent
ing any officer from discharging the
duties Of his position until he had
given bond and had been commission
ed. College trustees, members Of State
boards, constables, etc, are considered
officers under the law, 80 are other
members Of boards Of various char
acters who are provided for by the
legislature. They get but little per
diem or mileage, but they cannot le-
gally assume duty Of act until they
have been duly commissioned By the
secretary Of state. They do not have
to pay any for this commission; it is q
mere matter Of form. A great many
members Of various kinds Of boards
have neglected to carry out the pro.
visions Of the law, and their attention
is called to the fact. The new act in
deed makes it unlawful to fail to file
the oaths and get a commission before
attempting to discharge the duties in
d;cated.-fhe State.

Decided Decrease.

The clerk Of the State board Of PEN
sions sta:ed Tuesday that the approved
rolls OF pensioners hsd been sent in by
most Of the county boards. It is note
worthy that these rolls show a decided
decrease in the number Of pensioners as
compared with last years list. This is
probably due to the operation of the
provisions Of the aew act now Of force
throwing greater safeguards around the
disbursement Of the pension appropria
ton. Despite the fact thai many Of
the counties have sent in their lists,
the lists will have 10 be returned for re
visien, owing to defects. This Of
course, will Of necessity delay the
meeting Of thu State board, and con-
sequently checks will likely resch the
pensioners later than ususl.-The

WHAT Is a GENTLEMAN?
Gunner Morgan Has Proven Himself to
be Entitled to That Honor.

. What is gentleman? The question
has b=en variously answered. Admiral
SIMPSONS view is that it re requires cer-
tain specific ADVANTAGES Of early educa,
tion and training to make gentleman.
If that is 80, then gentlemanliness IS
an acquired art, roS natural gift:
This is ncta great advance on the old
English social doctrine that gentlemen
,e born, not made. But in this dem.
ocrstic age and c,unt'y neither hig
birth nor liberal education is essential
to the making Of true gentleman.
When Gunner Morgan, in spite Of the
unfavoyable endorsement Of his letter
to Admira! Sampson, called on the lat
ter and EXPRESSED his regret that the
correspondence should have been 80
published as to annoy the admiral, be
went so far to stoV himself gentleman
in the trus sense Of the term. 1t vas
a gentle deed, justifyiDg 5teele's 90
servation in the Taller that "the ap.
pellation Of gentleman is never to be
affixed to a mans circumstances, but
to his behavior in them" Old Chau-
GERS curiously spell opinion. That he
is gentil that doth gentle dedis still
holds gooe in the high court Of common
sense. We speak Of meu ''behaViDg
like gentlemen" but the Phrase is un-
happy. A man cannot behave like a
gentleman unless he is one-for sfec
tation or iusincerity is Itself bad man
ners. Nothing can conatitute coed
breeding that has not good nature for
its foundation" says BulWer.
Thsckeray's definition Of gentleman
is one to which thousands Of men meas
ure up who never saw the inside Of a
college or even high school and have
no distinction either Of birth or wealth.
'To be a gentleman" says the author
Of Vanity Fair, ''js 60 be honest" to be
gentle, to be generous, to be brave, to
be wise, and, possessing all these quail
ties. to exercise them in the most grace
full outward manDer." The ereat scien-
tist Huxley puts it a little different aud
makes Just distir csion when he says:
''Thoughtfulness for others, generosity,
modesty, and self respect are the quail
ties which make real gentleman or
lady, as distinguished from the veneeIed
article which commonly goes by that
name"
Judged by these high standards it is
quite probable that there are IS many
real gentlemen among the gunners as
among the commissioned officers Of
Uncle Sans rayy.-Ne# York World.
