A True Gentleman.
OMEGA.

A few weeks ago [ was, or rather
my attention was, attracted by an
article published In The MIRROR.
It ran thus: "a man may devour
volumes of etiquette and still fall
short of being gentleman. "
There never was anything printed
with more truth in it.
An old saying comes to my mind
which I think with a little change
will exactly fit the point in ques-
ton. The old proverb is: can
artist is born, not made" We can
supply the word gentleman and
we have it. That is just what /
firmly believe. A man cannot be
a true gentleman unless he has il
at heart. He may learn all the
rules of etiquette and the instincts
of his heart will go directly against
these rules or harmonic with them
Surprising the instincts of this

An Answer.

Not long ago one of our fellow
penitents pfopounded in the col
umns of The MIRROR, the query,
as to how one could make a long
sentence seem short. [ suppose
that fellow is still waiting for an
answer to his conundrum. No
doubt the question itself appeared,
to the most of us, as facetious
proposition to be answered only
by a smile. To be serious, how
ever, the question is answerable to
a greater or lesser degree.
There is a trlte saying that
Demonstration is the thief of
time" So it is under most cir
cumstances. For a prisoner to
procrastinate, expecting his time
to steal away from him like the
minutes off motorman's watch
who is trying to make up 'lost time
don't go.
To a prisoner, time at It's long
est, is too short to spend in wishes,
or wasting in fruitless indulgence
Of that sentiment, too much ideal
lied by the poet, ut might have
BEEN" It's Of no use to brood
over what cannot be helped. We
are here to stay until the expira-
ton of our sentences. We can only

RECOLLECTIONS

In prison cell forlorn,
Wishing that he'd neer been born,
Wond' ring if he'll ever more see
= Home, Sweet Home
Sets a man fast turning gray,
Sorry that he rued the day
That put him where he is no more to
roam
In the days not long ago
He was not considered slow,
He rode an automobile of his own;
He "took in all the races,
But has now thrown up the traces
= To other men to reap what they have
AS he sits and thinks of this,
He remembersvOh what bliss
To be free and spend the other fellows
mon;
But he found out to his sorrow,
That it is no joke to borrow,
For to pay the debt in prison is no
fun.
But Mother Earth glides smoothly round
And does not stop because there's found
A man who's taken someone else's
gold;
Nor because some man is dead,
And a hand with blood is red,
For the story of each crime is often
told.

| Tighten the period Of our incarcer
alton by q diligent application d
the time on our hands. First, BY
following the one general rule that
| all wise men who are sent to prison
do Ito gather ourselves together
fguratively speaking and hit up
on a plan by which we are to deal
with our superiors and fellow pen
itents with as little friction as pos
sible. By SO doing we will keep
out of trouble. And that in itself
means a great deal to a man who
finds himself ''up against it, with
the knowledge that he must
work out his own salvation and
have the peace of mind SO essen
tial to the mental equilibrium Of
us all.
The next thing we must do to
tighten the years before us is to
devote g little time to self-exami-
nation and see if something can
not be gained toward our own ed
ucation. This may be hard to &C.
com plish, but it can be done by
the persevering person. When
the writer Of this article entered
this institution two years ago he
felt about as mean, discouraged
and homesick as any man could
feel He spent nearly six months
cursing his luck and pacing his
cell, wishing his time would hurry
up and expire, but giving little or
no thought toward learning self
control or. seeking after useful
knowledge. Less than a year ago
the writer knew nothing of the
Spanish language. Seeing an op-
portunIty to'learn it he went at it,
and kept at it, during all hours.
The result is he can now read and
write the language well, and has
found that by close attention to
study the time goes slipping by
quickly and leaves no tipe for
worry or to spend in idle dreams.
After this fashion one may make a
long term seem short.

A News Service Without Parallel.

There is ample justification for
the claim made by the Chicago
Record Herald that it's readers en-
JOY every day in the week, Sunday
included, a news service that is
without parallel i'll range and CON-
pleteness. In addition to the in
dependent news facilities of the
Record-Herald, that paper re-
ceives the complete news service
of the New, York Herald, the New
York World and the Associated
Press, and when it is considered
that its news columns are supple
mented by all the special features
so popular with it's thousands of
readers, it will be seen that the
Record Herald holds unique
place among the great newspapers
of the United States.-Adv.

with:

mans heart are Of the evil kind,
they are sure to show themselves in
contrast with these social manners
he has forced upon himself through
etiquette; while on the other hand
the good instincts will harmonize
with these social rules.
The word gentleman means
more than to be we'll versed on
society rules or manners. The
man that carries himself we'll at
social gathering is not a true gen.
tleman, if that is as far as he takes
his good manners, which | regret
to say is the case with many man.
Let US make few comparisons.
We will take man with polished
manners at social gathering; they
are faultless. There he is pro-
nounced perfect gentleman. We
will follow this gentleman from
the social gathering to outside life
He meets there all kinds of people,
the rich and the poor. He may
have some business dealings with
both rich and poor. How does he
treat his richand his poor brother?
AS equals? No! To the rich broth
or he shows every mark of consid-
Grafton, sometimes going out of his
way to do something that might
please him. The poorer brother
he treats coldly; hardly speaking
civilly to him, sometimes not even
that. Can that man be called
true gentleman?
We will now turn to a man that
is not socially inclined, and first
take look at him at his place of
business. There he is all smiles,
and treats everyone with the ut
most kindness and generosity.
He is pronounced a perfect GENTLE
man; everybody likes him and his
business fourishes. Let us follow
this man home at night when his
business hours are over. He
throws the mask he has been wear
ing all day to the winds. His wife
and children tremble at the sound
of his footsteps. When he enters
they do not know which way to
turn to please him. for everything
seems to displease him and he does
not hesitate to tell them so in no
gentle words either. Now, why
could not this man wear his mask
at home also? How much hap
pier his family would be. Simply
because it is not natural for him.
Can that man be called "a true gen.
tleman?
The multitude has pronounced
these men true gentlemen, while
the few that know them as they
really are, cannot do so. Why is
this? Because etiquette is used
only as a mask to hide their evilin-
stincts from the public. Your
true gentleman has always the
same manners. He does not need
etiquette to hide his evil instincts.
He is always the same whether at
a social gathering, at his place of
business, or at home. You always
know how and where you will find
him in regard to his manners, for
they are born in him. Therefore, I
say, a true gentleman is born, not
made. Ct. S. G..

heard alongside the tracks
and the next instant the
door of the box car, In which we
were ensconced, slid back revealing
the austere countenance of the
brakeman. Two minutes later the
train pulled out and Bill and l
were "ditched" in small village
in Indiana. The day previous the
theatrical company of which [ was
a member had gone bump" the
result of an absconding treasurer
and l, not having the wherewith-
all to pay my fare back to Chica-
go. resolved to get there by fair
means or foul, consequently the
above freight car incident.
NV acquaintance with Bill, the
Individual mentioned above, was
limited to but few short hours,
he having crawled into the car
shortly after ] had. He was a
typical knight Of the road; the
personifcation of the Weary Willie
seen in the comic papers. Butsad
to relate Bill had but one leg, or
to be exact, one and three-fourths
of leg. A ifteep-inch timber or
peg strapped to the severed men,
ber gave it the required length and
provided a means of locomotion.
"Well," said Bill optimistically
as he gazed after the vanishing
train, 1--WE didn't want to go any
farther anyhow, did we?'
"Of course not prevaricated.
~"Wouldn't 90 any farther on bet!"
With this started for the main
part of the village, intending to
sever the newly formed acquaint-
~anceship, but my attempts at this
proved futile. My late travelling
companion was a stlcker from
$ Glueville. Do what I might or go
where I would, the incessant
s'thump, thump, thump" OF his peg
LEG assured me that he was peg
ging along behind. Suddenly |
heard crash and turning | saw
Bill sprawled on the sidewalk
moaning pitiably. His peg leg
was split up the center but still
hung together A banana peel a few
feet away told the story. Hurry
ing back [ arrived just in time to
hear an old gentleman ask Bill if
he were able to pay for the services
of physician.
N.No,"I butted in. Hes broke"
@Not on your life" said Bill,
"I'm only cracked" And he
gazed at his ruined peg leg.
Finally, with my assistance. he
arose and started down the street.
Another crash and down he went
again, this time for the count.
His peg leg had split and now lay
lin two pieces on the sidewalk.
Before [ could interfere small
boy grabbed one piece and ran
gIeefully down the street.
"Stop thief! stop theft vocifer-
-ated Bill regaining his feet-or
rather his foot. But the boy with
half of Bills peg leg vanished and
Bill seeing this burst into tears
IL grieved me deeply to see Bill in
this deplorable predicament be-
cause I knew-everybody does
that when a man has peg leg and
that leg is stolen, it must be awful
Iy hard to stand.
I can't remember all the impre-
ecations Bill heaped upon that boy.
Suffice it to say that the air was
blue. Suddenly through the haze

as he struggled with the officer.

A few minutes later, aided by
several planks and atwo-inch rope,
I was dragged to the sidewalk.
Then began an onslaught of ques-
tons which l, being so muddled,
could not answer.
[ wish to say right here that of
all the hospitable people it has
been my good fortune to meet, the
people in this town took the pro.
verbal but somewhat Anticipated

with open arms especially by the
sheriff and the constable. Socia-

bic was sociability personified.
He and Bill became inseparable
companions, their loyalty to each
other being bound by letters of
steel. AS for me, we'll, [ was the

bless him, insisted on introducing

some to two or three and Bill and
| met every one of EN-. In fact
we had SO many knockdowns be,

dence that Bill got the swell head
over it; ] felt a little sore.
Arriving at the sheriff's home
we were ushered through a mag
nifcent ball room Ct saw several
chains there, too) and on into an
elegant saloon. As soon as Bill
saw the BARN fact, there were
several bars he called for a glass
of beer and a bowl of soup. Our
assiduous conductors expressed
their regret for not having beer to
sell him, but insisted on ceiling
him without the beer. For the
life of me | couldn't understand
why Bill wanted a glass of beer;
judging from the appearance OF his
face it was an eye-opener he need
ed. Outside the sheriff's home
the crowd was holding a Gam

barred from taking part, we curled
up and went to sleep.
