food Is cooked. or the heating stove
which warns your home during the

We all have our troubles, but the
poor housewife or cook who has to put
up with an unsatisfactory stove or

What is a Gentleman ?

The board of visitors to the military
academy at West Point has recon-
mended that the course Of study in that
institution be changed SO that it VIII
produce officers that are all round
educated gentlemen.
What is a gentleman?
Webster defines the term in several
ways, most OF which smack Of the old
time distinction Of birth and caste.
According 10 his Interpretation. a gen
tleman is:
"A man we1l-born; one OF good
family; one above the conditions OF
yeoman; one Of gentle or refined man
ners; weI-bred man"
In the United States the term is ap-
piled TO men Of education and good
breeding, of every occupation. In this
country, except among minority not
worth giving serious consideration to,
birth counts but little in deciding a
mans status. A long line of honest
and d-fearing men is good. but
not a sure foundation for the upright
ness of their descendants. says an ex-

RUDE Waddell the Athletics famous
left-handed pitcher, is again among the
missing. He has not been seen by his
team mates since last Saturday, and
Manager Connie Mack is non-commital
in his replies TO the Rube's where

was seen in Atlantic City as late as
yesterday, but this cannot be officially
confirmed. RUDE is badly needed in
the present crisis. and the other play
ers on the team are outspoken in their
disgust at his negligence.

Richmond is the first city in the
United States to secure the inspection,
where an interstate business is not
done. and it is largely through expert
ment that the inspection is allowed.
1t is the idea of the department to
make Richmond a model city as far as
the animal industry is concerned, and
it is thought that if the experiment
works out for the good here. it will be
granted other cities that make applica-
ton, and where there is a surplus ap-
portionment large enough to meet the
cost.
The slaughter house owners made
application some time ago for the in
spection and the first word received
was Saturday The sIaughterers were
all agreeably surprised when it was
learned that inspection had been Civ

An experience wherein phantoms
presented themselves to view in pro

lated by a young lady whose name, al
her request, is withheld, the narrative
being indorsed by her sister, who was
with her at the time. She writes:
Zone autumn night my sister and
myself. with our maid, were returning
from evening service in the village
church There was a thick fog. The
moon was full, but it made a sort OF
steam in the fog instead of shining
brightly. Suddenly L saw man al

without making sound. l pulled her
sleeve, whispering, Let the man pass.
As I spoke the man disappeared.
In another moment we We're all be-
wildered at the sight around US. II
was as if we were in a crowded street,
innumerable figures surrounding us.

ing briskly about. some singly, others
in groups, but all without a sound.
Some seemed TO rise out of the grass
on either side of US and to come out on
the other side. The women We're
dressed in bygone fashion, with high
bonnets and shawis and large flounces
on their dresses.
There was one very tall man who
took great strides. though perfectly
motionless. We approached our own
gate. where we should turn in, and
then we bad a long driveway TO walk
up before we could reach the house. l
think that by the time we had reached
the gate all the figures had disappear
ed except this one tall man He had
quite a different look from any OF the
others-more horrible altogether. As
we entered our gate. 10 our intense re-
lief. he passed by along the road and
vanished. OF course we We're all very
frightened. The maid and my sister
