years, were sent 10 the Harrisburg
Hospital last Monday suffering from
enlarged tonsils BY mistake the girl
was etherized, sent TO the operating
room vita several other patients and

surgeons say they found her appendix
somewhat inhamed, and 20 we're not
aware Of the mistake until the parents
called aud found that the operation

THE LITTLE GENTLEMAN.

I knew him for gentleman
BY signs that never fail;
His coat was rough and rather worn,
His cheeks were thin and pale;
A lad who had his way to make
With little time for play;
knew him for gentleman
By certain signs today.
He met his mother on the street.
OFF came his little cap;
Ny door was shut, he waited there
Until heard his rap.
He took the bundle from my hand.
And when / dropped the pen,
He sprang to pick it up for me-
THIS gentleman Of ten,
He does not push or crowd along
His voice is gently pitched.
He does not fling his books about,
As if he was bewitched
He stands aside to let you pass,
He always shuts the door,
He runs on errands willingly
To forge or mill or store.
He thinks Of you before himself,
He serves you if he can;
For in whatever company
The manners makcth man.
At ten or forty it's the same,
The manner tells the tale.
And discern the gentleman
BY signs that never fail.

the connecting link between the trains
and the hotel. II wasn't much of a

was considerable choice between it's
best and its worst, and it was well
worth while for a traveller to get to
the desk before many others had pre-
ceded him.
"As the train pulled into the sta
ton it WIS quite evident that most Of
us who were going to get out there
were familiar with local conditions.
Everybody except my friend, the
drummer, was nervous, and in hur-

with their oveIcoats, and q few
blocked the door of the car even be-
fore the whistle announced our sp
proach to the station.
"'We're almost IN, l whispered to
my new acquaintance, and started to
get up and put on my own overcoat.
Never you mind, son, be replied
cheerfully. Let 'em hustle. You
just follow your uncle, and he calmly
folded his newspaper and put it away
in his pocket.
The train stopped, and the pas
seugers made rush for the door The

coat, and picked up his bag. Togeth-
