Technically Gentlemen.

There is only one strictly technical definition of gentleman-a man entitled to bear coat armor. In the seven teenth and eighteenth centuries it was used with this significance, and the secondhand booksta1l hunter will oc- casionalIy find ''So-and-so, gentle man., written on dusty and stained fly leaves. But this definition has dropped out. for now any one may use arms iwho chooses to pay. for an arms li- eense. The inland revenue takes your guinea or two guineas without inquir- ing as to your right to bear arms. And. though the heralds college has Che right to grant arms to those who can afford to pay the necessary fees, it cannot prevent people from using arms to which they have no right London Chronicle

A Wealthy. soidler's Idea.

Australians still tell stories of the colonial volunteers, although the war is a far memory. One, member of the Stock Exchange, was left one wet and miserable night to guard a wagon load of goods. He shivered in the un- sheltered place for some hours ponder ing many things, and then a bright thought struck him just as the colonel came around on his tour of inspection.
 "Colone1,'' he asked, 'how much is this wagon worth?''
 s'I don't know was the answer "Much or little, we can't afford to lose it''
 ~"WelI, but, colonel,'' persisted the amateur soldier, ''you might give me a rough idea of the value"
 About f2OO," said the colonel testify.
 ''Very we'll" was the answer; "I will come down to the camp and give you a check for the amount. Then I'll turn in. I wouldn't catch my death of cold for twice that much"
