A Prize Winning
Definition Of True Gentlemen.

Some years ago the Baltimore Sun
advertised prize-winning contest for
the best definition Of a true gentle
man. The following won the prize
from Charlottesville, Va,"J. w. W."
The true gentleman is the man whose
conduct proceeds from goodwill and
an acute sense of propriety, and whose
self-control is equal TO all emergen-
cies; who does not make the poor man
conscious of his poverty, the obscure
man of his obscurity or any man Of
his inferiority or deformity who is
himself humbled if necessity compels
him to humble another; who does not
fatter wealth, cringe before power
or boast of his own possessions or
achievement; he speaks with frank
ness, but always with sincerity and
sympathy, and whose deeds follow his
words who thinks of the rights and
feelings of others rather than Of his
own; who appears well in any com
pany and who is at home what he
seems to be abroad-a man with whom
honor is sacred and virtue safe.
