Who is A Gentleman!
Charlotte Observer.


Mr.. Reginald Vanderbilt is
happy man. He was married
Tuesday to Miss Nelson, a beau
tlful and wealthy young woman.
But to be welded he had to have u
marriage license, and before OBJ
tainlng this he had to fill out a
blank stating his occupation and
that of his father, the late Corne-
llus Vanderbilt. Mr.. Vanderbilt
put his occupation down as that of
"gentleman," and that of his
father as capitalist - AS the
son of a millionaire Mr.. Wander
bllt is not compelled to work for
his living, and therefore his def
milton of u millionaire loafer is
interesting. He seems to draw
distinction between capitalist
and gentleman, enrolling his
father in the one class and himself
in the other. And yet his father
Is believed to have been gentle

derbit would not deny this.
There Is something that CRATES

There are professions and pro-
fessions, but gentleman is hardly

months ago, lewd fellow of the

being ordered by the head of the
family out Of q house which he
had invaded with an illicit purpose,
was at pains to assure the land
lord, just before shooting HIM to
death, that he, the murderer, was
a "gentleman.' The term has
become very cheap. 1t is found
these days in the mouths of all
sorts OF cattle when they get start

The Killing of Gov. Goebel.
Youtsey Tells His Story in Court
He Says That James How
ard Fired the Shot That
Killed the Governor.

hrSt time told On the witness stand
his story of the killing of the late
Governor Goebel. He ma m d
James Howard, the defendant, as
the man who fred the shot. Yout-
sey said he saw Howard for the
first time few minutes before the
shooting. Howard had letter
sent him several days before by
the witness at Governor Taylor's
dictation. Youtsey says he took
Howard into the office of Caleb
Powers, then Secretary of State,
which had been especially alrang-
ed for the shooting. He showed
Howard the Marlin rifle, the bull
lets and the window from which
the shooting was to be done. He
says Howard asked what he was to
get for dong the shooting.
"What do you want for itl''
Youtsey says he asked, and that
Howard said he wanted pardon
for killing George Baker.
81 told him he could have that
and more, too," said Youtsey.
"About that time" said the wit
ness, "Goebel came in the gate
and | pointed him out to Howard,
then ran from the room. AS |
disappeared down the steps to the
basement l heard the crack of
Howard's rifle. -
Ioutscy said that after the
shooting he passed through the
State house basement and few
minutes later came back into the
executive building from the east
side entrance.
81 stayed in the office of Assist
ant Secretary of State Matthew'S
said he, "for few moments and
saw Matthews break open Caleb
Powers office and find the guns
that had been left IN there"
1outsey said that at the time of
the shooting he was private secre
tary to Auditor Sweeney, but that
while his political status was not
definitely fixed, it was understood
he was to have good place under
Taylor. ::Governor ruyior,"
said Youtsey, ''directed every
thing we did. We regarded him
as our leader and he was morally
responsible for all we did. We
knew we had the Governor and
the pardoning power behind US,
and were not afraid of punish
ment for killing"
9outsey, on cross examination,
said that after he was arrested and
later sent to the penitentiary, he
still had hope of gaining his li5-
erty. He thought Yerkes would
be elected Governor and would
pardon HIM. Yerkes was defeat
ed, however, ond about year ago
he decided to talk and did tell his
story to Prison Physician Tobin.
YOutsey said further that he
had an additional incentive to tell
the story, rs Taylor, Powers and
Others had used him as a cat S
paw and scape-goat and then de.
serted him when he got into trou-
ble.

QUEER TONES ON ANGLING.
A Unique Collection of Books on Fish,
 Fishing and Fishermen.

There is. one corner of the Harvard college library that is sure to attract all lovers of angling, for 1t contains ore of the most interesting collections of books on fish, fishing and fishermen to be found in the country. There are books in Latin, .n German and In French; books that date back to the early days of the printing press and books that were brought out a couple of months ago in London or New York The greater part of the collection is the gift of John Bart lett. an enthusiastic fisherman who IS known to a multitude of readers as the compiler of "Bartlett's Familiar Quota tionsS' but valuable additions are being made to it constantly from other sources.
 Outside of better known books like Izaak Walton's "Compleat Angler" of which there are nearly sixty separate odl- tions, the collection abounds in quaint treatises of fishing lore that bear wit ness to our forefathers' devotion to the gentle art'' and often contain sugges- tions and hints that would not come amiss in the handbooks of the more up to date angler. John Dennys who wrote the Secrets of Angling" put his advice into verse. The first edition of his poem,
 which is divided into three books ap-
 peared in 1613 and is one of the rarest volumes in English literature. Then there is old Gervase Markham, who contended
 that "a skillful angler ought to be a
 general scholar" so that he might know
 how to write or discourse on his art in true and fitting terms, either without af- fectation or rudeness." Another versifier exhibited his knowledge in lines like the
 following:
 My strung line was 26 yardes long I gave him turn though
 l found him strong
 l wound up my line to guide him from shoar
 | The handbook helps much but the cook cry more.
 Perhaps next after Walton's "Angler'' | in general interest comes the famous
 Book of St. Alhans" the earliest print | ed volume in sports published in Eng i fish or any other language. Only cne
 copy of the original edition of the chap
 ter on fishing, which was printed in 1496,
 is in existence, but there are several ex- cellent reprints of the best of which. published in 1910 and now very rare the | Harvard collection has a well preserved | specimen. The book was written by Julian | Barnes, or Benners. prioress of Sopwell ana so true lover of fishing hunting
 and hawking that she was cvalled the Diana of the English" She preferro d angling above all other sports however and some of the advice she gives is suf- | ficiently plain and canny to be useful | even now.
 Success with the line," she says in
 one place, " is spoiled by twelve manere Of ympedyments whyche cause a man to take moo fyshe,' and these impedi- ments she declares to be: '1, badly made harness ?, bad baits; 3. angling at the wrong time; f. fish strayed away: D, water thick; 6, water too cold; ', wetber
 too hot; B. if 1t rain; g. if hail or snow
 fall; 10, if there be a tempest; H. if there be great wynd; 12 if the wynd be east. "

he go over and mane himself solid with Uncle Samuel, because he had been accustomed to hold Lu- cille on his Knee when she was a mere Tot.
 And, of course, that gave him right to butt in all Family Issues.
 Uncle Samuel asked Horace what Church he attended regular ly. The only thing that saved Horace was that he happened to remember the Name of a Church. Horace tried to side-step the Ques- tions about Drinking and Smoking, but Uncle pinned him down, so he said that he had been tempted, but he had not fallen, as yet.
 After running the Family Gaunt- let, Horace heaved a Sigh of Rs- lief and believed that had clinched all the Preliminaries. Not so; he had forgotten to fix it up with his own Firm.
 An Employe can go on the out side and do almost anything and the Firm will not interfere, but the Minute he talks Marry, then old MT Side-Whiskers sends for him to come to the Private Office. The reason for this is that every An tiQue in the Wholesale District has a lot of cut-and-dried Advice which he loves to unload on any one who is compelled to stand and take it. So Horace learned from his respected Boss that for two or three Years the Couple should live on Cereal Food and make their own Clothes.
 The next Bunch of Warning and Advice came from the True Friends at the Club. They put him down at Table and sat around him and inhaled the Scotch until they were all Pie-Eyed and then they told him what Horrible Risk he was taking and how not more than a half-dozen Married Men in town seemed really happy, and, although she was a Nice Girl, she had been engaged two or three times before, and Mother-in-Law would be fierce Proposition.
 For a Hammer Duet, the Mems Club makes the Boiler Works seem like the Hush of Death
 The Reader may suspect that Horace was actuated by Mercenary Motives. However, the fact that he went the Rounds and listened to every one and then married the Girl, proves that he truly loved her.

ace had been lovely to her and she esteemed him as one of her darest and kindest Friends, there was really and truly nothing do- ing. Consequently, every one could see how it was going to turn out.
 Horace had fondly supposed that the Recipe for becoming engaged was simply to warm up to the Girl until he could Hold Hands without using Brute Force, and then wait for the Psychological Moment. So one Night when Lucille looked up into his Eyes and said he was diff ferent from any other Gentleman she had ever met, he came back with the Speech. Her only Reply was to slip him one of Papa's Busi- ness Cards which she had ready for the Occasion.
 "Go and square yourself with him." said Lucille.
 Next Morning, Horace, wearing his best Bib and Tucker (also B. 00O,000 Goose Pimples) was shown into Papa's Office. First he had to tell all about his Assets and his Business Experience, but that didn't take long. Then he told how much he saved every Month. If he swelled it little, it was be- cause he loved the Girl.
 After he had answered all the Questions he had to sit and listen to that well-known Monologue which is the Prize Speciality of the Self-Made Party who began Life by working for s7 per Month and saving S5 of it. Lucille's Father said that Young Men nowadays are too extravagant and not half as Industrious and Keen as he had been about the Time that he es- capped from the Farm. He sat there and hurled Boquets at himself un- til his Arm gave out. after which he told Horace to go and fix it with Lucille's Mother.
 Mother wanted to know, first, if he was willing to be married in the Episcopalian Church. He had to tell all about his Family. She seemed much relieved when she learned that he had Relatives In Virginia. Horace knew that part of it would be Ill right-unless she happened to see the Relatives some day.
 She told him why House was preferable to a Flat and scratched two or three or his Suggestions for Ushers. After letting him know that he would cut but little Ice at Ithe Ceremony, she suggested that
