MODERN BUSINESS.
The Big Jobs Demand HustIers Who
Are Gentlemen.

The Big Jobs Demand HustIers Who
Are Gentlemen.
A notable change has taken place in
American business methods within
the last decade. Increasingly men Of
large affairs are asking when a young
man is recommended for a big job, "Is
he a gentleman" This is significant
in two ways. 1t means that the big
business men are themselves gentle
men and like to deal with men who
speak their own language and that
American business methods have
grown to be such that the gentleman
has an advantage.
There was a time when a man who
was a hustler could be a cad If he liked
and it did not hurt his chances much.
But that time has passed. The big
business men of today want young
men who are tactful, intelligent, indie
pendent, yet unassuming; who would
know how to talk to diplomat and
be at home in a good club; who could
be trusted to behave kindly, hOnorably
and discreetly II any situation of life;
who, in short, have as their ideal the
old, never changing ideal of the gen
tleman. Not everybody can define it,
but everybody knows it at sight.
The gentleman, in short, can work
along the line of least resistance, and
that is why lie is wanted.-BOokkeep

Divinq Birds.

Water birds which are ordinarily
able to float high on the water can
also sink at will by expelling the air
which is inclOsed within the film of
feathers surrounding their bodies, thus
making them heavier than water. This
mechanical trick on the part Of div
ing birds is probably familiar to all
who have watched the kingfsher al
close quarters and have noted the sud.
den contraction in the birds apparent
size as it takes the plunge. This is
much more easily observed in the case
of the startling, which sometimes imi
tates the kingfisher by plunging into
water for food The shrinkage of the
bird in apparent size is very apparent
when, after lowering above the sur
face, it turns downward to dive.-ZO

Surprise and disappointment, mainly
the latter, was the attitude assumed
by Colonel j. c. Sprigg, of Essex
Fells, when questioned today about the
will of his brother-i -in-law, Walter e.
Duryea, which, filed in Mineola, L. l.,
yesterday left practically the bulk of
his estate to Miss Eleanor Peregrine.
who for twelve years had been his
nurse, companion and housekeeper.
To Miss Peregrine is left $50, 900 out
right and a life estate in 100000. and
she is made the residuary legatee. The
estate Is estimated to be worth well
over a million dollars, and less than
s250,O0O of it is disposed in specific be-
quests, leaving Miss Peregrine some
thing like 100000 all told
Colonel Sprigg was reluctant to dis
cuss the filing of the will or the docu
ment itself today. He said
Neither nor my wife, who was Mr..
Duryea's S sister, have seen the will, nor
have we any idea why it was filed in
Mineola We supposed, of course, it
would be filed in New Jersey. where
Mr. Duryea had made his home since
the accident twelve years ago"

I'VE are at a loss to know what led

Miss Peregrine, for he never earned a
dollar of the money on which his for
tune was based. The money came from
one of his own family. and one would
naturally expect him to see that 1t
would revert to his own. However. it
was not inconsistent with Mr.. Duryea' S
attitude toward his sisters"
