to in English society at the India gar

youths turned up their noses at his
pretensions or sneered at him AZ q

patiently and redoubled his efforts to
copy the ways of his white masters.
He succeeded. Every one believed
him devoted to England.
Then, in 1857. came the Sepoy Mu-
tiny. Most Of England's white regt-
ments had been summoned away from
India to the Crimean War, leaving the
country chiefly garrisoned by Sepoy.
or native troops. The religious fanati-
cism OF these native soldiers was SO
cleverly worked upon by Mana and
other secret agents that they rose In .
body against the English. 1
/. Mana, when the mutiny broke out,
declared himself ready to die in the
defense of his British friends. They
trusted him absolutely. But as soon
as the uprising showed signs Of sue
cess he cast aside the mask of 10y
atty, placed himself at the head OF
Sepoy army, and proceeded to wreak
horrible vengeance for his real or fan
cied wrongs.
Battle after battle Mana fought with
the white troops during the next few
months, almost always being beaten In
fair fight, but continuing to massacre
any small detachments Of English he
could find. His willy brain and heart
less cruelty made him scourge to the
British until the whole Mutiny was
stamped out.
Then England wreaked fearful ven
geance ON her crushed foes. Native
leaders were tied to the cannon's
mouth and blown to pieces. Other cru

escaped. To this day no Englishman
knows what became of him, whether
he died years ago or is still living In
luxurious safety in some Oriental land.

as deliverer and true patriot A
still larger number OF white people
declared him a fiend. He was the fore
most figure in the Sepoy Mutiny. His
terrible work ended. he apparently
vanished from the face of the earth.
His name was not Mana sahib. That
was merely his title. (His name was
Dhundo Punt. He was the son of q
high caste Hindoo and was born about
1925. When he was baby he was
adopted by Bhajee Rou. prince Of the
Maharattas; and in 1851 he succeeded
his adopted father as prince. Bhajee
had been lord of wide estates and had
received yearly pension Of $450.000
from the British government. At his
death the pension was stopped >and
the government seized much OF his
land.
This angered Mana Sahib. who had
hoped to inherit all Of Bhajee's wealth.
He sent an agent to England to urge
his rights. But all he could secure
from the British was permission to
hold the barren title Of prince and to
rule the fortress town Of Bithoor. near

American Autos at Coronation


During the coronation cere.
monies of King George the
Fifth and Queen Mary, and the
attending durbar at Delhi,
American made automobiles
were greatly in evidence. It
distinctly poi ated out the fact
that the outlook for future ex.
teneive business in American.
made motor vehicles through
out India was never more
promising than at the present
time.
The American automobile re.
ceived huge advertisement
through the action of various
Indian Governments in placing
large orders for Americana built
cars and which were used in
the coronation ceremonies.
Nearly 500 American made cars
we're present, the number beng
80 large as to create wide and
most favorable comment. One
Madras firm alone, for the local
Government officials, ordered
ten American-made automo.
biles. The preference thus
shown in favor of American
cars is sure to result in a large.
ly increased demand for motor
vehicles of American manu-.
facture.
Many makes were present
and the very best creations of
the Art were in evidence. None.
however, were more favorably
commented upon than the
three Mitchell cars of the "big
six" type, which carried Prince
Pindi Rawl Jehlm and his re-
tinue of attendants from that
picturesque and mountainous
section of Kashmir.
Outside of the appropriate
elegance of the Mitchell Six:
the Prince was largely influ
enced in the selection of his
machine by the powerful and
reliable motive power of the
machine. The district from
which he comes is very noun.

10 Genius q Gentleman?

not. Neither, we trow, is
George Moore, whose recently
published confessions are 80
interesting and indiscreet, their
indiscretion being mainly at
his own expense as a pretender
to the title of gentleman. but
somewhat to the advantage of
his title to fame. AS a witty
Dublin lady mments: "Men
are of three sorts; those who
kiss and tell; those who kiss
and don't tell; and George
Moore, who didn't kiss but who
tells"
One critic would like to have
George Bernard Shaw discuss
the question whether George
Moore is a gentleman. But
what jurisdiction would Shaw
have over such a question? Is
Shaw gentleman? Shaw
says that no man can be a gen.
tleman and not be socialist
But presumably the converse
does not always hold that be.
ing a socialist makes one a
gentleman.
If a gentleman be distin-
guished as possessing that
'gentlemanly absence of brains"
which Disraeli thought charac-
teristic of the aristocracy, gen.
ius certainly connot qualify.
Nor would it wish to do 80, ex
cept for those "sports" of it's
species, who like Sir Walter
Scott, would rather have been
a feudal laird than the "Wizard
of the North" or, like Thack.
cray in a certain mood of his,
who would rather have set the
London fashion than have been
the greatest satirist of his day.
There have been geniuses
who have been gentlemen, Ad.
Olson. no doubt, and Tennyson
and many another. too. But
the great geniuses, even if a
peer of England, like Byron, or
a man of the world like Vol
taire, or a courtier and a minis.
ter of state, like Goethe, never
let their sensibility or obliga
ton as gentlemen stand in the
way of their art. All of them
used the material of life as in
way of experience it came to
their hands, and if in some re-.
spects they sinned against the
reticence of gentlemen, they
served magnificently in the
Temple of Art.
Unless you are really a gen.
Jus, however, you had better
remain a gentleman. As the
Greeks counseled that no man
ought to part with honor ex.
cept he rose to supremacy.
