A real gentleman is one Of Gods
noblenien. But he wears no livery
or insignia. Sometimes you find him
in mud-caked ovcralls--and some
times in frock coats and elegantly
creased trousers.
By these signs shall you know him;
an instructive respect for the aged, a
love for children and chivalrous
tenderness toward all women. Rev
crcncc for his Maker and love. OF his
country are instructive with real
gentleman; and he knows shat his
body as we'll as his soul is his
charge, which must be returned to his
Maker indebted"
A real gentleman is good man,
whose instincts are fine and clean and
tender. lie respects weakness and
etssstrength face to face and una
fraid. He approaches his superiors
with dignity and faith in himself and
he has exquisite reverence for all the
helpless things which need his
strength.
Because a man. gets to his feet
when woman comes into a room,
and stands with his head uncovered
in an elevator, does not mean that he
10 a gentleman. 1t only Indicates that
he has the manners Of one.
And a man may eat with his knife
and yet have the heart Of real gen
tleman.
OF course good manners are the
outer signs OF courtesy and chivalry.
One wants to see them in fine man
and their lack is woeful handicap.
But, after all, manners are thing
that can be learned and real chivairy
is innate.
Your real gentleman doesn't laugh
when an old man slips on the icy |
pavement and falls into ludicrous
position. He goes to offer his help.

Select well ripened red haws, re-

serving kettle with enough water to
cover them and cook them very
slowly until they are tender. Press

MYSTERY REIGNS
IN KING AXIS REALM.
AL Of Kingdom Trying to Guess
as to Identity Of the New
King and Queen.
SECRET KEPT VERY DARK
By Melli6cia-sept. II.

The mystery, OF Ak-Sar-Ben Is be-
coming positively enthralling. 1t is
guarded jealousy by the few for
tunate ones who are on the inside.
The identity Of the king and queen
OF Quivera is "a hidden and unut-
terable secret from the majority Of
Us beings outside the magic circle.
The special maids who are wont
to precede her majesty upon her en-
trance to the coronation hall are be-
ing asked one by one and day by day.
As yet the number Is not complete
and in the tentative list changes were
made even so late as yesterday. Un-
communicative keepers of such lists
prevent our obtaining them, wary
mothers and daughters in whom they
have conhded refuse to confirm our
suspicious.
In the dead OF night, however, when
the board OF governors and those into
whose hands was given the task OF
choosing the twelve fair maidens
were debating within themselves
about their choices. my spirit was so
in tune with theirs that | caught
few whispers Of the secret.
Thus learned that among those
maids will be Miss Marjorie Smith,
Miss Josephine Congdon, Miss Re-
gina Conneil Miss Helen Eastman
and probably Miss Grace Allison and
Miss Naomi Towlo. A few indistinct
inurnnurings came TO me which eau
ton forbids me 10 repeat. Certainly
this knowledge Is enough to assure
you that whoever the beautiful and
nieritorious queen Of Ak-Sar- Ben may
be those attending her majesty's per-
son will be as gracious, intelligent
and charming as BELTS the character
of the sovereign.

BRITISH RAILWAYS BEAR
WAR BURDEN EASILY
Cost to the Government During
the War Is Trifling.
lBy Csbl. TO The Tribune

London. Feb. 25.-Exclusive calcula-
tions just finished for the first year
Of the war show that the working Of
the British railroads has been prob
ably the greatest feat of British or
ganzation during the war. The cost
20 the government has been compare
lively trifling- $40 100000. Millions OF
British troops have been transported
to all parts of the country, while the
regular passenger service has scarcely
shown signs of inconvenience.
All the railroads are under govern
ment control, being worked by a COM
mittee of managers. Payment is calcu-
lated by the difference between the net
receipts of 1913 and the receipts dur
ing war time. Considering that some
of the railroads have carried occasion
ally fifty troop trains in one day, as
we'll as furnished innumerable trains
for military supplies, the cost to. the
government has been amazingly small.
This is only attributable TO the extraor-
dinary economical methods OF the
committee. which abolished all waste
full competition while maintaining ade-
quate passenger service.
The success of the committee IL
bound to lead TO strong agitation IN
favor of Matchmaking the railroads
after the war, which is likely now 20
meet with little opposition from the
directors and shareholders.

Peking Mandate Reveals Defeat

Sze-chuen border was withheld until
to-day, when the State Department is
sued mandate denouncing Tsai 40,
rebel leader, in which admission ls
made that the revolutionists surprised
the regular army and defeated small

Information received in Peking from
non Chinese sources shows that the
Yunnanese who descended on the city
of Suifu and captured 1t numbered
about 10000. The garrison OF Chinese
at Suifu numbered about 1000, but
these troops left for the north several
DAYS before the arrival of the funnan-
ese and there was no resistance 10 the
latter. The fleeing government forces
are reported to have started north Tor
Tze-chow.
Estimates of the total strength of the
revolutionary army vary from 10000 to
100000. but neutral military experts
say the revolutionists can probably put
about 10000 men into the field. with
fair infantry equipment. The govern
ment has about three times this many

way 10 Yang-tse ports. Transportation
on the river is difficult. and probably

not a foot of ground went unsearched
by shell fire.
Yet this rain Of shells found the
French prepared. In deep underground
shelters the men waited unframed un-
til the Germans launched their infan-
try assaults. Then from thousands of
pits they leapt forth, while from care
fully concealed guns came blasts that
annihilated the close-ordered advanc-
ing ranks.
A French surgeon who has just re-
turned to Paris from Verdun saw an
entire brigade enfladed by the concen-
trated fire of French batteries. Not a
single man escaped alive.
Gains Fail TO Shake French.
The gains made by the Germans dur
ing the last four days, according TO q
Paris comparison, only amount TO half
that made by the French in the first
two days of their offensive in the
Champagne, while the prisoners are
but an eighth as many. The confidence
of the French is unshaken by the fierce
attacks and the bending of the line.

tary critic of the Temps" says that

able to hold their positions against the
French counter attacks.
In Berlin the main effect OF the Yer
dun gains, according to dispatches, has
been 10 strengthen the feeling OF con-
fdence in the outcome of future events.
There has been no appreciable excite
ment i'm the capital, and few flags have
been displayed.
Among military observers the Crown
Princes drive is taken 10 dispose fnal-
ly of the belief held in Allied capitals,
that the Germans had lost the inlti-
ative on the Western front, and that
their own lines were being held only
with the greatest difficulty.

Prussian Diet Finds Too
Much Politics in the
Present System.
WANTS TO DISCUSS
AIMS OF THE WAR
Members Accuse CensOrs of Dis.
eliminating Against OppOsi-
tion Newspapers.

Berlin, Feb 25.-The Prussian Diet
ended its consideration Of the censor
ship question by adopting resolutions
demanding that the censorship be re-
stricted to matters imposed by the ne
cessities Of military operations, that it
be uniformly exercised and that ci-
william authorities who fulfil the duties
of censorship assume responsibility for
their action. A resolution demanding
freedom to discuss the aims Of the war
also was adopted.
The two-day debate showed that
members of the Diet, like members Of
she Reichstag, do not complain OF the
military censorship, but accuse the po-
litical censorship Of issuing indefinable
orders, and especially complain of it's
lack of uniformity.
Herr Bachmester, National Lib
eral, declared that one censor struck
out sentences from an address by En-
peror William. ard that one newspaper
had been warned that it might COM
ment on proceedings in the Reichstag
only along lines laid down in the Chan
meister declared. undoubtedly followed
political lines. He said that a procla-
nation to the Poles by the commander
in LODI had been printed in one Berlin
newspaper on September IA and again
the next day by the "Vorwaerts," but
permission 10 reprint it was refuse
on September IS to a paper which did
not agree with the Chancellor's policy.
Nobody, Herr Bachmeister continued,
questioned the military censorship, but
political prohibitions, he said. had been
issued by the military authorities and
nobody assumed responsibility for
them.
Herr Weinhausen, Radical, COM
planned of the continuous extension Of
the censorship to cover new ground.
lie declared that high officials and
even private persons had been protected
against criticism, and that the censors
even criticised influential bodies ad-
versely.
Other members joined in condemns-
ton of the non-military censorship, af-
ter which the resolution was adopted.
The resolution demanding freedom to
discuss the aims of the war was car
ried against the votes of the Centre,
Radicals and a few Socialists.

on the French liner Espagne Monday

The French liner was TO leave last
Tuesday, but on account OF uncom-
pleted repairs the date was changed to
Friday, and later to Monday. Anony-
nous letters Of warning received by
few OF the prospective passengers

been cancelled on that account. and
