THREE KINDS OF GENTLEMEN
Somewhat Peculiar Distinctions That
Are Made by Inhabitants Of the
Emerald Island.

ireland is the only country in which
1t has ever been customary to classify
gentlemen aS of three distinct kinds or
species.
Probably the distinctions are still
recognized to some extent IN the EN-
erald isle. but two centuries ago. and
even much later, they were defined
respectively as Gomez the "half-mount-
ed" (two) the gentleman every inch
of him." and (three) the gentleman to
the backbone"
The first class consisted of descend
ants of Cromwells soldiers, who. If
they could ride well. were called
"Buckskin Brooches" or "Squireens."
The second class was composed of
descendants of old families whose es-
tates mad been forfeited to the crown
Qor rebellion or other reasons), and
who had been compelled to lower them
selves by working for living, in trade
or the professions.
The third class-the gentlemen to
the backbone"-comprised the old
stock. or folks who lived on the ancient
family estates and the labor of the
peasantry pertaining to their domains.

a burden to himself and the folks
around him. He's always hunting
happiness, but is too sluggish to use

AN ATTACK OF GRIP

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in run

Two facts stand out prominently as
