HE WHO has travelled much taken part in great
movements, accomplished wonderful achievements,
and has played active part in many notable trag
edies has fund of reminiscent lore that is always
delight to listen to- The society of such
riches and inspires those who have the pleasure Of
his acquaintance. He seldom becomes bore. In
sharp contrast with the above personality is the
who constantly tries to impress upon others the fact
that he is superior being and exceptionally favored
by the gods Of destiny.
Some years ago we knew prisoner in this in
stitution who lost the opportunity Of telling
his fellow prisoners about some of the great men
whom he counted as his staunch friends. Of course
he did not like to let them know of his present
whereabouts, otherwise he could get pardon with
out the least difficulty He use to tell what swell
dresser he was on the outside; what punches Of
Clothes including several dress SUITS he had stored
when he was arrested; and what high toned people
he used to associate with ETC. And he told all this
with a sincerity and honesty of purpose that in
tended to convince the most skeptical Did he sue
coed? Alas! no.
This erstwhile swell dresser and associate of
celebrities was plausible talker. but poor actor.
While assiduously employed in convincing others
that he was Beau Brummel among men, he failed
to act Of the essential characteristics of gen
tleman. In the dining close observer of good
manners could see this person committing such rep
rehensbe acts eating with his fingers picking his
teeth with fork conveying food to his mouth with
a knife, picking his nose scratching his head etc.
All these signs eloquent testimonials that he
was nothing than mendicant among the
knights Of the Tin Can" instead of the cultured
gentleman that his childish brain fancied. If one
exercised little tact in conversing with this pos
of dress suits, it surprising how intimately
acquainted he was among sheriffs If you displayed
raging thirst for knowledge along this line he could
tell you who the turnkey was; what the prisoners
bill Of fare consisted Of what saloon sold the largest
bootleg of beer and he could tell you within inch
as to where such and such brewery was located.
AS we have said BEFORE it is always pleasure to-
listen to those who have rich storehouse filled with
reminiscent lore But the man who continually acts as
an mpostor, is imposing on his credul1ty. This
world contains too many doubling Thomases for
such person to successfully adorn scarecrow and
exultingly shout Behold my dear sirs gentleman!
This institution, well similar places III every
state in the Union, contains many men who are in
every respect, gentlemen. They do not try to inn
press this fact upon others by the use of verbose
platitudes. That is quite unnecessary. Brag never
has, nor never will, make gentleman.

New officers for 1904, including the se- lection os Alfred Reeves as secretary, and decision to offer s24,0OO for the grand circuit meeting at the Empire track in August. were included in the business transacted at Wednesdays s meeting of the Empire City Trotting club.
