Gentlemen All Alike.

A northerner was doing the talking
for the moment.
what is a southern gentleman"
he said in response to a query from
one of the party. well, he is north
ern gentleman born and reared in a
different environment. The gentle
man part of him or of any man, is the
same wherever it may be. Locality
does not make the gentleman, nor yet
does money, nor family. '>,,I
"In the south as in the north there
are many men who should be gentle
men by the commonly adopted ruls of
such productions, but who are ruffians
in the smooth. That is to say they
have the veneer of gentlemen, but
every essential of the real gentleman
is lacking. There are rich men who
might have been more nearly gentle
men had they been poor, or have re-
mained as the poor in spirit having
attained wealth, but the instinct of the
brute, or the vulgarian, was in them
and opportunity merely developed 1t.
"The true gentleman is to be found
in every walk of life, and one of the
finest types of the instructive gentle
man this country has ever produced
may yet be found among the old col
ored men who acted as house servants
in the families of southern gentlemen.
No master among all the best of the
south had more OF the grace of gen
tleness than some of these old slaves.
They could neither read nor write,
nor had they brushed against the
great world for polish, but they had
the courtliness of heart which makes
gentleman of every man endowed
with it.
"Those who would excuse the rude.
ness of men of high or low caste will
tell you that the strenuousness of their
lives makes them forget the smaller
amenities. Yet, there are thousands
of instances among our best and bus
lest men to disprove this. Not only
to disprove 1t, but to prove that
thoughtfulness is the hallmark of the
gentleman in any position.
"The gentleman never forgets that
he is gentleman. AS well might it
be said that man would forget he was
man and begin to crawl on all fours.
True he might do that, but il he did
his noble nature would undergo a
change. The human hog is human
hog whatever its form or its covering.
A gentleman is gentleman whatever
his form or covering, and gentleman
is the highest type Of MANN. Y.

FlLlPlNOS PLAY BALL.
Also Settle Dispute In School With
Boxinu Gloves

Boxing Gloves.
That Moro youngsters are now in
clined to settling their differences with
boxing gloves instead of appealing, as
did their fathers before them, to the
law of the knife, is one of the more in
teresting Of the features of letters re-
ceived from time to time at the exec
utive bureau from James Z. Mccall,
acting division superintendent Of
schools for Cotabato.
Baseball has likewise made big hit
among the Moro kids, and Mr.. Mccall
reports that this game has struck the
Piang agricultural school, since last
December like an epidemic" says the
Manila Times.
Mr.. Mccall cites one case where the
son of one of the influential families
in some way imposed upon a little or
phan Tao boy, who Immediately called
for the gloves, putting on one pair
himself and offering the other TO the
Datuan son. After the contest, which
lasted about fifteen minutes, the two
boys shook hands and walked away
arm in arm.
The boys at the Piang school, NIr.
Mccall says, play baseball before
breakfast and continue it during the
day in spare time until dark.

BEANS WERE CURRENCY

Cacoa passed as currency among the
natives of Central and South America
at the time of the European conquest
and that despite a plentiful supply of
gold. Joseph Acosta, in 1910, tells Us
the Indians used none of their gold
or silver for traffic in or buy withall,
and unto this day the custom contin.
ues among them that instead of money
they use cacoa."
The Aztecs of ancient Mexico also
used "cacoa" as small change, as many
as 5000 beans being counted legal ten
der The value of the beans may be
judged from the fact that "a tolerably
good slave" could b. purchased for 100
of them.-London Chronicle.

Eat Apples to Preserve Teeth

Chewing stimulates the salivary
glands. Soft, starchy, mushy foods,
from which the mineral salts have
been extracted, need little or no chew
ing, so the salivary glands are not
stimulated. And they do not supply
the mineral elements that are neces-
sary to the fluids Of the body. Such
foods stick between the teeth and i'll
the recesses of the mouth, where they
ferment and decay and become the
breeding ground for bacteria. The
bacteria generate acids which eat
away the substance of the teeth, max
ing holes in which more food lodges,
and so the evil process goes on.
The normal alkaline saliva is one Of
the best protectors of the body againut
the attack of bacteria. Not only Is
the saliva slightly bactericidal. but
alkalinity counteracts the acids pro-
duced by these bacteria.
Starchy foods should always be ac-
companied by fruits or berries, for the
acid in these has the peculiar proper
ty of changing to an alkali in the body,
and besides they are the best of stiIn.
ulants for the salivary glands. DR.. ].
Sim Wallace of London says he has
been struck by the immunity from de-
cayed teeth of persons who generally
eat an apple after dinner.
The teeth should be brushed after
every meal, using good paste, and
this brushing should be supplemented
by another before going to bed and
another on arising.

SEE END OF FIRE HAVOC
IN loWAN'S DISCOVERY
Druggist lnvents Real Fire Proofina
Liquid, All Tests are Convincing
and Discoverer has Visions of

millions
Fame has reached out to badger
little town just south of Humbolt,
Iowa, and Arthur Aren't, quiet, re-
tiring druggist is being besieged by
big paint manufacturers, film makers
and hosts of other large eastern inter-
ests who want to buy little formula
Mr.. Aren't recently discovered which
bids fair to make him one of the most
talked about men in the United States.
His discovery is liquid which does
not even discolor even the very finest
cloth fabrics yet makes them and ev-
crything treated by it absolutely nom
inflammable. But large sums OF mon
ey have not yet tempted the badger
druggist.
L. f. Keltz of Webster City, form-
er member of the Iowa State Pharma-
cy commission has perfected the Ar
ent discovery and made it weather
proof.
The real worth OF Arent's discovery
may be realized when it is said that
there is not today in the world an abb
solute fire proofing Of any kind, but
hundreds of tests have been made
with the Aren't discovery and not one
has failed.
A common soft cedar shinRle, treat
ed with his liquid, will Withstand q
plumbers blow torch fifty minutes
before the torch will bore a hole in it,
but even then the shingle will not
burn. A blow torch will bore through
steel quicker than thru wood Which
has been treated.
Even a sheet of paper or piece Of
cheese cloth, treated by the discover
ers solution, will not burn when held
over an alcohol flame. Canvass which
has been treated and then soaked for
thirty hours in water and Cried out
cannot be made to take ere.
When the Ringing shows were here
early in the fall they offered $1,000
| for the fire proofing of all their can
vas.
The value of the product as applied
| to cloth lies in it's use in opera house
scenery, show tents. etc. And as ap-
| piled to wood, it is impossible to get
at the scope OF llS VaIue. III WOulu
stop conflagrations If always used. AS
to paper, il all the paper money, for
instance were treated with X by the
government, an easy test of counter
| feiting would be to apply match to
a suspected bill.
| But one of the greatest values Of the
Arent-Keltz discovery lies in its use
In motion picture films. The Edison
company has a standing offer of $780,
900 for a noninflammable film.
But until he has thoroughly looked
over the field the discoverer refuses
to be in the least tempted by these Of
fers. Aren't believes he has made one
of the real inventions Of the age and
in this belief he is sustained by the
verdict Of the representatives o: big
concerns who have visited him and
seen his demonstrations.
Mr.. Aren't is still young man, be-
| ing in his thirties. He is quiet and un-
assuming and talks little about his dis
oovery though he is compelled TO give
a good deal of time to demonstrations
for the many experts who call on him
in an attempt to buy his formula.
