What Makes the Gentleman.

A very interesting editorial on this sub
feet is found in late number of Harper's
Weekly.
Is II college training or social position or
Is II wealth that affords leisure and cul-
ture in the making of life? Is It these
things that make gentlemen? There is no
doubt about the helps that are Afforded
by environment. education in books, and
the culture which travel and association
with broad-minded people afford to the
receptive mind, but will either or all Of
them make the gentleman or is a life that
is denied all OF them fatal to the same?
What Is a gentleman anyhow? The die
tionary says IL is a man of education, of
polite manners and good breeding as dis
tinct from the vulgar and ignorant.
But all college-bred people are not gen.
tlemen, not all the well-born are worthy
OF the name, and not al the polite man
ners in society are sincere and truthful.
Some OF the worst men known In polite
society win conduct themselves faultless-
ly as to manners. yet they are cruel, IN
Just and overbearing to their subjects or
interiors in position.
In my opinion, some of the most real
gentleman have ever known would have
been laughed at in what is known as po-
lite society. and some Of the politest have
been ready to play the hawk on every
dove that came in sight.
We must go deeper than manners to find
the gentleman in the genuine meaning
of the term. OF course. the gentle" must
be there. He must be tender to innocence,
considerate for age. respectful of the
rights OF others and secure in his own in
tegrity OF character in meeting his fellow
man. ..,..
Education, Is good. polite training is
good, neat appearance and good clothes
help a great lot, but It Is the inside-the
heart-that makes the gentleman.

in the Shenandoah valley with Bro.
Stuart at the White Post Camp-meet-
-.-g That's a fine country and a finer
people. We never spent the time more
pleasantly anywhere. We were one
day the guests at Greenway hall, the
home OF Lord Fairfax of revolutionary
days. He was the owner of twelve or
thirteen counties, comprising about
one-third of the state of Virginia. He
was lord of more than he could sur
vey and George Washington was his
surveyor. The story goes that George
washington, when 16 years of age,
came to Lord Fairfax and asked for
work saying that he had a widowed
mother to support and that Lord Fair
fax asked him what he could do. and
young Washington told him that he
could survey. Lord Fairfax gave him
constant employment in that capacity,
and the story goes that most of the
deeds to property in that section has
the signature of George Washington. as
surveyor.
Tradition says Lord Fairfax was a
giant in statue and large in heart and
in his benefactions. He of course re-
mained loyal to England and his young
surveyor quit his service, Joined the
American forces and when Washing
toms forces finally conquered Corn
wall and his army Lord Fairfax went
into a cabin on his magnificent estate,
went to bed and died, moaning over
the ingratitude Of George Washington
and his country's defeat. He died at
the age of g. 1 suppose George Wash
ington was too busy to attend his
funeral.

counties going to bed at the vigorous
age OF 90 and dying over a little thing
like that. But George Washington
went to bed and died sometime after
wards. reminding US that the Path
of Glory leads but to the grave" Lord
Fairfax was an old bachelor and left
the Greenway estate to the kindly
woman who kept house for him and
cared for him in his last years. The
estate then fell into the hands Of a
Methodist preacher. Rev. Mr.. Ken

Hundreds of actors who have counted the rail-

bankruptcy filed in New York by Edwin Foy,
the comedian. tii
Versatile Thespians have done all sorts of

when 1t came to taking advantage of the bank

The thing that VIII excite the Jealousy of his

seemed to have done us good. Every night
