HIS IDEA OF A GENTLEMAN.
Cardinal Newmsn's Estimate Is Well
Worthy the Attention OF All.

worthy the ATTENTION OF All
Cardinal Newman's definition OF a
gentleman has probably never been
surpassed. Here it is:
at is almost the definition OF a gen
tleman to say he is one who never In
flicts pain. He has his eyes on oil
his company; he is tender toward the
bashful, gentle toward the distant aud
merciful toward the absurd; he can
recollect to whom he is speaking; he
guards against unreasonable illusions
or topics which may irritate; he is
seldom prominent in conversation and
never wearisome.
"He makes light of favors while nc
does them and seems to be receiving
when he is comforting. He never
speaks of himself except when com
PEELED, never defends himself by q
mere retort; he has no care for Sian
der or gossip, is scrupulous in imput
ing motives to those who interfere
with him and interprets everything
for the best. He is never mean or lit
tie in his disputes. never takes unfair
advantage, never mistakes PERSONAL
ties or sharp sayings for arguments
or irsinuates evil which he dare no
say out"

A Successful Life.

N n UGH has been written and said
I'M on the subject of success. AS
ly our friend H. J. B. remarked
few weeks ago in the col
umns of The MIRROR, "The subject
has been somewhat overdone of late"
However. a few words more along the
same line of thought will not, l trust,
prove to be the proverbial last straw
that breaks the camel's back.
In nearly all articles on success one
notices that the predominant idea, the
keynote, so to speak, is, get money.
Do it honestly, in noble, manly way,
if you can-but get money. Ask a
financial magnate the secret of success.
His formula will be to make, and to
save money, to have your holdings of
this worlds goods always on the in
crease. In short, to get the earth and
put fence around it, if you are able.
Is it then necessary to be potentate
of the stock exchange or board of
trade; to boom watered stock, or get
corners on anything and everything;
to buy franchises. or to secure advan.

My First Encounter

Stage fright! What vast combina-
tion of sensations it comprises. My
of the English language is
too limited to even attempt proper
definition. To those who have exper-
fenced this peculiar and dreaded sensa-
tion an Introduction is unnecessary.
To the uninitiated describe it as
nightmare, sea-sickness and cold baths
ETC., in a bunch. At the tender age of
twelve years I commenced my studies
of the Occult Sciences. 1t being the
wish of an eccentric uncle, who, by the
way, is an eminent hypnotist and
physician at present touring Europe.
He often expressed his interest in me
by saying, "What 1 sow you shall reap p
meaning, thereby, that the knowledge
gained by him in his wide experience
was to be bestowed upon me, for
which I was very grateful.

the Hindoos. My progress was rapid.
In the following six years 1 acquired a
proficiency which was soon to place me
in the ranks. At the age of eighteen
my parlor entertainments were eagerly
sought for by society people, the press
and public paying me many fiattering
compliments. My ability as performer
was not to go unnoticed. At one of
my many private exhibitions chanced
to meet an old Snowman, who, after my
concluding number, paid me some
pretty compliments and gave me some
good advice. "My boy" he said, "you

Several weeks later this same show
man, whom we will call Hayser, made
me an offer to take the road. OF course
his proposition was eagerly accepted
and my loving dreams of professional
career were soon to become realities.
Paper in large quantities was ordered,
and all paraphernalia necessary for the
show was purchased. Hayser attended
to everything, while l busted myself
writing speech. AS yet had never
addressed an audience. The booking
and routing of the show was taken
care of by the advance representative.
He procured good time for us, in small
towns, of course, and was "billing like
circus" Our aggregation was known
and advertised as the Hypnotic Co., and
numbered six people, the manager, ad-
vance man, three subjects and myself.

tected. The constitution says in ar
ticle A: "No canton shall expel from
its territory one of it's own citizens, nor
deprive him of his rights, whether ac-
quired by birth or settlement"
The federal government has power
to enforce the following provisions of
the constitution: "The confederation
has power to enact provisions as to the
labor of4children in factories, and as to
the duration of labor fixed for adults
therein, and as to the protection of
workmen against the operation of un-
healthy and dangerous manufac-
turers." Over fourteen years ago the
constitution was amended so as to
grant power to the federal government
to establish invalid and accident in
surance. 1t may declare
participation obligatory for all, or for
special classes Of the population"
The Swiss confederation has the fol-
lowing provisions, in regard to monop-
olies, in the constitution: Article 26.
"Legislation for the construction and
operation of railroads is in the province
of the confederation" Article 36. "The
posts and telegraphs in all Switzerland
are controlled by the confederation.
The proceeds of the posts and tele-
graphs belong to the federal treasury"
The Swiss have the two following
provisions in regard to education in the
constitutions: Article q. "The con-
federation has the right to establish,
besides the existing polytechnic school,
q federal university and other iastita-
tions of higher instruction, or to
subsidize institutions of such nature.
The cantons provide for primary in
struct:on which shall be sufficient. 1t
is compulsory and in the public schools
Free"
The Swiss have settled the liquor
question IN the following manner in
article 80: "The confederation is
authorized by legislation to make regu-
lations for the manufacture and sale of
alcohol" The last clause of the same
article reads: "Out of the receipts
therefrom the cantons must expend
not less than one-tenth in combating
drunkenness in the cause and effect
My object in writing this paper was to
present to you in the reading of it a
general idea of some of the provisions
of the constitution of a republic whose
government is somewhat different from
that of our own federal union. In
closing, brief summary of the points
presented will not be amiss.
Uniform factory legislation, insur
ance against accident and sickness
without the necessity of being mem
ber of lodge or secret order; govern

into sections. The stage was provided
with one curtain, the front drop which
was raised and lowered by means of
clothesline. The wings, six in number,
made a hit with Hayser. He described
them as mixture of bed sheets and
