Gentleman or churI2

Be a gentleman, young man, for it
will pay you a golden rate of interest.
You will never get anywhere by re
turning surly W You might be
surprised to know that If you should
meet the president of a railroad and
ask him a civil question that you
would get a most courteous reply.
Walk into the biggest concern in any
city and ask for the manager. He will
meet you with a smile and return the
blandest answer to your query. 1t is
the ignorant cub in the country depot
or the window washer in a big Office
who hand back the discourteous an
swers. That's why they always re-
main cubs and window washers. The
fellows who reach the presidency of
railroads and the management Of large
concerns do SO because they are gen
tlemen and always return the soft re-
ply. 1t costs nothing to be a gentle
man and besides you will find that
such a route leads down beside still
waters and up through green valleys.
The churl plows through the mud of
serfdom and breathes the dust of sla-
very. You choose the path-gentle-
man or churl.-Kansas City Star.

country, and the distances are long.
The women are not carrying bundles
on their heads. They themselves as
well as their merchandise are car
ried on the back of the family donkey.
Peasants with knives thrust into the
folded cloaks on their shoulders lin

ers on mules ride off alone as men
having affairs to attend to. Mules
emerge in trains, and, being claimed,
stay to chatter with others beating
washing in the wayside washing-foun-
tain. A child guards a herd of goats.
A boy carries a lamb. Pigs tied by
the foot carry confusion everywhere
by their headlong bolts. Beggars lie
in the gate with an air of proprietor
ship, showing their sores and ex-
postulating with women who give
bread instead of soldi. Looking out
on the landscape, it would seem as
though everyone had a long journey
before him. There are no friendly
hamlets visible; no wayside churches.
Each traveller, apparently, must gain
the sheltering wall of a town before
he rests. Close at hand, a few feet be-

DUOM0 OF ORV|ETO
Ancient Cathedral One of Attrac-
tons of Italian Town.
Gothic Beauty of Structure Is Goal
Which Draws Attention of Visitors
HAS Happily Escaped the
Restoring" Period.

Parishes! Orvieto is sufficiently
Interesting to visit, certainly" said
an old priest to me; but why stay
there? You can see the Duomo in an
hour-e poi tutto!" No! the Duomo
is not "alr' that is to be seer in Or
veto. though its Gothic beauty is the
goal which urges the visitor to leave
his train and mount that precipitous
rock, wondering all the while what
lies on top. Signorelli and Fra An
gellco, from opposite poles, decorated
one of its chapels between them.
1t has n of the greatest festivals IN
Italy. The central doctrine Of the
Catholic church took shape here and
became dogma, and there are vest
ments In its museum which we're used
at the council of Trent. Yet the jstruc-
ture, in spite of the attention called
to it each year at it's festival, bias hap
PLY escaped the restoring" period.
At one time there was a plan to
cover the Duomo with stucGo, to suit
the prevailing taste of the time. The
marks of the plans may still be seen
on the pavement roundi the pillars.
But lack of money and enthusiasm
prevented this disaster, and the in
terror remains beautiful and ''unre-
stored" the marble front mellowed by
the securing rain and snow; the ala
baster windows feigning sunshine
within; the chapel of Signorelli visit
ed by the connoisseur and that of the
sacrament by the devout. Yet, with
one of those curious incongruities
which puzzle the foreigner in Italy, l
have seen the chief mass of the day
attended solely by a cat, which sat
solemnly washing it's face on the al
tar steps, undisturbed throughout the
ceremony.
Perhaps if one sat with the old
bishop above the Porta Maggiore one
would watch day in and day out a
more typical Orvietan gathering than
any which frequents the Duomo. Few
lift their eyes to where he sits look
ing down with the same engaging tilt
Of the head with which Carlo Goldoni
regards the comedy beneath him in
the piaZzetta in Venice. His uncrum-
bled ~sacerdotal fingers bless man and
beast alike Is they strain upwards to
the gate. A fig tree growing out of
the wall behind him makes a canopy
