Technically Gentlemen.

There is only one strictly technical
definition OF sentleman-a man entitled
to bear coat armcT. In the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries ii was
used with this Significance. and the
secondhand bookstall hunter will oc-
casionally find 'So-andso. gentle
man." written on dusty and stained ny
leaves. But This definition has dropped
out. for now any one may use arms
who chooses 10 pay for an arms u
cense. The inland revenue takes your
guinea or two guineas without inquir-
ing as to your right to bear arms. And.
though the herslds' college has the
right TO grant srms to those who can
afford TO paystbe necessary fees. il
cannot prevent people from using
arms to which they have no right

career as a sailor ended with an acct

on the roadside in Greene county one
morning when n young man dressed In
dapper fashion aud evidently from the

To this the stranger paid no atten-

came TO a fork 10 the roads and was
evidently In doubt which way he

man repeated. (which road take to
