says Is pressing Is frequently imagi-

growing suspicious, and Brown Is re-

altogether new one; it has al
ready been adopted in modified
forms by number of corporations
in the United States. Its essen
tial features are as follows:
"Every employer, as a prere-
quisite for employment, is to COM
pei the employe to insure himself
against death and accident for
certain amount, say $1,000, either
with a company in which the en-
ployer is interested or with one
which is independent; the employ
er, if necessary, paying part of the
premiums. In such instances the
policy is to contain provision
that in case an attempt is made to
recover damages of the employer
under his common-law liability for
negligence, no recovery can be had
on the insurance policy in ques-
tion. This method gives the en-
ploye a choice of remedies, but
takes a way neither. 1t secures to
the injured man compensation for
his injuries in the form of insu-
rance money, in cases where his
employer would not be liable un-
der the common law and where,
therefore, no recovery could be
had against him in cases of contri-
batory negligence. 1t does not,
however, release the employer
from the liability to which he is
legally subject under the common
law. 1t is of paramount impor-
tance to the community, as we'll as
to the injured man himself, that
such person should have some
means of support. Every cripple
who is unable to recover damages
from his employer becomes of me-
cessity burden on the communi-
ty. Accordingly, the corporations
or trusts that would institute such
system and provide for that sup
port would become agencies of
great public good. The courts
have time and again held that an
employer cannot by any means
contract against liability for his
own negligence. But in such ca
ses that is. in cases where the
negligence of the employer is be-
yond doubt and the insurance
comparatively small, the employe
could and would resort to his COM
mon-law remedy against the mas

What Makes a Gentleman.
Daily States.

| Udlly 6L8tob.
1t seems that a very interesting
discussion has been precipitated
by Mrs. Astor of New York's 40O'
who recently asserted that no man
could be gentleman who has not
the advantage of college educa-
ton. This lady's dictum has been
widely discussed, and from all ac-
counts has been very generally
disapproved. 1t has deeply woun-
ded that amiable humorist, Mark
Twain, very deeply, and he has ex-
pressed his dissent in the way pe-
culiar to him when he is offended,
because, under the rule as laid
down by Mrs. Astor, he is not a
gentleman, and the suggestion ma
turally ruffled and incensed the
gentle Mark. If what we read in
the Northern papers be true the
discussion has spread from New
York across the Atlantic to Eu-
rope. Mile. Lucie Felix Faure, of
Paris, has taken the matter up
now, and expresses herself in a
fashion which we hope will serve
as balm to the lscerated feelings
of Mark Twain. Mile. Faure is
the daughter of the late President
of France, and it is reasonable to
suppose that she knows a gentle
man when she sees one on the
Rialto or in the Bois de Boulogne.
college 'education," she says,
"has nothing to do with the ques-
tion. 1t is within the range OF
possibility that a Montmartre cab
man may be more of a gentleman
than a member of the Academy,
for as Cardinal Newman has said:
ga gentleman makes himself agree
able to all; never attracts stten-
sion, is never loud, never hurts
ether's feelings, is usually gener-
Gus and is always just" To know
how to bow and scrape," adds Mile.
Faure, 'is useful in its wsy, but
bowing and scraping are merely
mechanical acts"
1t strikes us that it will be diff
ficult to find a better definition OF
a gentleman than that of Cardinal
Newman which Mile. Faure has
quoted SO aptly. A man who is
considerate of the feelings of
others, who is usually generous
''and always just" may have very
little knowledge of the classics
and higher mathematics, but be is
a man who has good heart in the
right place, and that is the main
thing after all. The man who is a
gentleman at heart, and not solely
by the culture that education gives,
is the one who will remain loyal
in pinch to himself and others.
All things considered, we believe
the majority of people will accept
fCardinsl Newman's definition of a
gentleman in preference to that of
Mrs. Astor.

The Backbone of Our Nation.

1t is from the farm and the country
districts that the great brain power of he
country has come, is coming to- day, and
must come in the future" writes Edward
Box in Ladies' Home Journal. "Instead
of deprecating country life, land saying
that to live in The countryi means to live
out OF the world, intelligent people know
that the free, untrammeIed life OF the
country PROFESSIONALLY gives broader
views.
"The human mind always grows to suit
its outward surroundings. OrigIna ity
aud a development for great things has
naught to check its growth where one
can look with earnest eyes from Nature
up to Natures God. To speak of the ig-
norance of the rural regions is to stamp
ones self as an ignoramous; not The
country people. There is.a soundness of
core and an intelligence in the back
country of this nation OF ours that people
who live in cities and think themselves
wise never suspect.
"We can talk all we like of social revo-
lutions' and kindred evils that are sup
posed to threaten this nation. When
they do threaten our institutions the
danger-signal will not come from the
back country. Such thoughts are born
and fed amid the foul atmosphere of the
cities. In the clear country air OF
the farm nothing threatens this country,
and when anything in the shape of a
socialistic, anarchistic revolution does
menaCe his land the true voice W hic n

try. The backbone of this land rests in
