Privileges of a Gentleman.

YOUNGsTER PROBABLY WILL CHANGE
IDEAS IN COURSE OF TIME.
There is small boy in this town,
says the Baltimore American, the
son of rather distinguished law
yer, who has decided opinions on
what constitutes true aristocracy.
One day recently a friend called
upon his mother, and, while wait
ing for the hostess, was entertain
ed by the small boy.
What are you going to do when
you grow up?' was the stereotyped
question she propounded in the
effort to start the conversation.
"Oh, l am going to smoke"
"Yesi"
"And chew"
"Ohr
"And gamble"
"Indeedw
"And sweal."
"Real!y"
"And drink corn whiskey."
"And why are you going to do
such things?" asked the visitor
.aghast.
"Oh, all southern gentlemen do
them"

A bill has been passed by the
Georgia Legislature prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intox-
icating liquors in that state.
Georgia is going to the extreme
limit in stopping the Manufacture
and sale of liquors, but no law in
the world will keep the people
from drinking. The jug business
of adjoining state will flourish and
illegal sales of whiskey will soon
be the experience of dry Georgia.
