EMPLOYMENT FOR OLD CAR
Gardener Has Found Really Ingenious
Use for Automobile That Has
Had Its Day.

Where DO all the old cars go?" is
a question that Is asked continually,
and there are very few persons who
can even approximate the answer
with any degree OF satisfaction either
to themselves or 10 others. But 1t is
certain where at least one OF them
has gone for it has been turned into
a lawn mower. The reason for its
fall from aristocratic to plebeian
work is because it's owner has q
really tremendous lawn to keep in
trim; he is head gardener for a large
golf club and as every one knows put
ting greens must be kept "just So"
There was an Anticipated two-cylindet
automobile on the premises that long
had ceased to be Of any practical var
ue for pleasure purposes and the
gardener conceived the bright idea OF
making 1t Idle in the harness." SO to

steel strips SSd Sonle chains he a.

at the noon hour, he inquired as to
the prospect for getting dinner.

With this encouragement the travel

set before him was such that he could
not possibly make meal" He made
such excuses as he could for his lack
of appetite, and finally bethought him

might venture to take and which was

asked for some milk.

Named ShceDshead Bav,

Benjamin T. freeman, who named
Sheepshead bay seyenty-fve years ago,
died recently in Saratoga. He was
ninety-seven years old. He often
talked Of his boyhood, when all Of
New York above Tenth street was
open country.
Mr. Freeman is survived by thirteen
children and many grandchildren.
Freeman married Miss Denison in
1898. She was granddaughter Of one
OF General Washington's officers. They
ir"ested their joint fortune in hotel
at what was then called the Cove. On
the signboard was a painted sleeps
head and underneath was the name Of
the hotel, the Bay.
The Cove became famous for the
Freeman dinner. James Gordon Ben
nett, founder Of the Herald; Horace
Greeley and others often dined there.
After the war the Freemans settled
on a Saratoga farm.

Eelninn . Brother.

Referring to brotherly love, Senator
William H. Thompson Of Kansas said
he never saw it more beautifully ex
emDlifed than the way in which Green
helped his friend Brown over a rather
difficult place.
Some time ago the Greens called a.
the home Of the Browns. Brown, not
expecting the call, was absent from
the domestic camp.

Brown during the conversation, 81

IN the days Of the revolution. After
the preliminary cannonade and long

frequently at thirty yards, there was
a halt, a smashing volley, and then

fly IN the face of common sense.

a flag at halfstas?, and this means
one OF the fishermen, or more, has met
death, generally being swept over
board.
This custom of flying flags at half
staff originated first as a token of de-
feat. That is, when an army was de-
feated, its flag was lowered down the
staff to give room for the victorious
army to place its flag above that OF
the defeated army.
From this the custom grew into fly
ing the flag at half-statf when an Of
ficer, army or navy, died. Later it was
adopted by civilians as we'll, and to-
day, when a man of prominence dies,
regardless of whether he was sailor,
soldier, or civilian, the flags are hung
at half-staff. Whereas, in the olden
days, when the custom started, the up
per space was left to indicate that the
victor could put his flag there, now it
seems that death is the victor, and so
the space is left. It is, of course, a
mark of respect to the dead person to
have flags at half-staff for him.

rained for nearly year.
We hear a low murmur off in the

cliff wall. There it is once more and
nearer, louder. Again it rolls out. 1t
is thunder-not the sharp rattle CT an
eastern thunderstorm, but deeper,
more prolonged, more ominous. What

disappeared. Instead 1t is gray veil.
1t is rain at last. And now we are in

pull our sombreros down and crouch
before it. Joy streams course down

take it, but seems in danger of being
washed away.

The storm has gone. Only thin

tiny flowers; they must have been hid

What Eidures Prove.

Most men cannot be idle and live.
That sounds strange. It is true. 1t
is a law of nature. II a man past forty
leads an idle life the probability Is
that he will live to be fifty-seTen
years old. If he leads harmonious
and sufficiently occupied life he will
live to be sixty-six. This Is the expe-
rience of life insurance companies,
which make a speciality of old-age an
nuitIes. Skill, money and time have
been spent by these companies to
learn these figures. The success OF
the companies depends on them.
The figures tell the story. Idleness
is harder on the vital organs OF man.
kind than work. To be idle Is to die,
to work Is tc live.

OF TIL: EARTs!iI'S BEST
CLERGYMAN DEFINES THE MAN
WHO 10 A GENTLEMAN.
May "Go Wrong for a Time, but to
the End RE Is "On tho Square,"
and Friendship With Him
Is a Privilege.

When asked, not long ago, to give
his idea OF "a gentleman" a noted
clergyman said:
Of one thing am assured, namely,
that he will never be ashamed OF his
origin and that he viii studiously re-
fuse TO pretend he Is anything except
what Re Is. He will be conspicuous
for pity, always dof his hat to ruin,
be chivalrous to woman, whether
young or old, beautiful or plain, noble
or ignob!e, just because she is a
woman. Also ! am convinced that
while the perfect gentleman will be
deferential to his mental superiors,
recognizing talent, wherever 1t may
be found, he will pay respect to social
differences with absolute ease, as SUI
prem2ly unimportant, preserving the
while his entire independence, Of which
no one On GODS earth can ever rob
him. The gentleman is accustomed to
accommodate his pace to the weakest,
to arrange his conversation according
to the capacity and interest OF his au-
dience, to give without comforting the
wound Of an obligation, to use hos
pitality without grudging, to be care
less of a visiting list, and ever to keep
his door On the latch, SO that it may
easily be pushed open by the stranger
or even by the criminal, who finds
city OF refuge at his hearth and IN his
heart.
The true gentleman belongs to the
world and is never insuiar, which is
only another form Of self-conscious-
ness, but whatever his nation, he is
morally a polyglot and talks the lam
guage OF humanity. You will find him
without exception on the side of the
weak, and ready to shiyer lance for
the oppressed and the degraded, or
those who have been ostracised by
the world.
Tie gentleman is person whom
you never notice when he Is in room,
and never forget when he is gone, and
TO one is SO much missed, though no
one desires to be so less. He under
stands like no other being on earth,
says the right thing, though oftener
still preserves silence, IS the case may
require, and always carries about with
him a sease OF comfort and liyabie-
Witness which Ia unique.
Strange as it may seem to the thick
skinned and unsensitive, the gentle
man may be as wild IS hawk and
may get into messes OF various sorts
but, unlike many who claim to tread
the path OF virtue, his eoul is never
6lackened by underhandedness Or
scheming. He would not marry
woman FOR her money, make a. display
of what he may happen to possess, tell
a lie except to shield a woman's honor,
SANDER MS neighbors, engage in con-
yersation which Is even questionable,
cheat, whether on a large or small
scale; in 2act, indulge in falsity OF any
kind. He is infinitely gentle and re
firing, utterly masculine, IN the best
sense Of that word, and always courte-
Gus. He may "go wrong"-gentleman
have been known to-but to the end
he is ION the square," inwardly hank
ering after God"
