WORD "GENTLEMAN."

A FRENCH critic, discussing the
n recent famous battle for the
boxing championship of the
world, expressed surprise that so
many Americans should have favored
the challenger from abroad.
Perhaps if he had stopped to think
for a moment he would have realized
that. after all, this is in the true
sporting spirit.
That spirit is at times hard to cul-
tivate. Il is natural for a city to
want it's home team to win in baseball,
and for Il college to wish to see its
young giants sweep all before them
on the diamond. the links and the
gridirOn.
"To have and to hold" is the motto
of national or international sport from
yachting to polo.
1t is reasonable for nation not to
wish to lose any championship once
it mas obtained it.
Various explanations have been
given Of the popularity of CARPENTER,
the best small man who stood up to
the best big man in their business in
the world today.
A ray of light is thrown on the
matter by Il word that was used by
several experts in describing the af
fair. They said that the Frenchman
fought like gentleman and lost like
one.
This involved no reflection on the
champion, because nothing of an "un-
gentlemanly" nature was done by any
body on the memorable occasion in
question.
The interesting thing is the use Of
the word gentleman.
It is an expression that Americans
have been shy of from the earliest
days, partly because it conveyed a
suggestion of class distinction in q
country that has no "claSSeS' and
partly because the word was hard to
define even in countries where it
was in common use.
There is no doubt that in the
StricteSt sense of the expression,
George Washington Thomas Jefferson
and John Adams were gentlemen"
Yet there can be equally little doubt

In fact, it is only in the army ana
the navy that the word gentleman"
survives in a technical sense. For
conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman" is the ground for one of
the most serious charges that can be
brought against anybody who holds o
commission.
The great John Henry Newman,
afterwards cardinal. in discussing "the
idea Of a university" gave a cOnsid-
cradle part of his time to the effort to
defineea "gentleman."
He, of course, had no more sym
pathy than any American would have
with the view, not uncommon in parts
of Europe, that a "gentleman" is a
man who has no profession or bust
ness; who has nothing to do but moth
ing.
In olden days gentleman" was
to be like Bayard, "without
fear and without reproach; kind to
women and children gentle in peace
anG careless of his own safety when
duty called him."
1t is an interesting thing to find the
word used in the case Of profession

FARM OPPORTUNITIES

r AM constantly in receipt of letters
from women tired of office work
who ask what chance they would
have in investing their savings in a
small farm. They want a home, they
want to be their own masters, they
long for the country after years of
combining labor at a desk
Success in farming requires train
ing and experience as we'll as a wish
for that type Of work. A good bust
ness training and initiative are excel
lent as stock in trade, but there should
be more than that. Farming is no easy
job.
Two young women tell me that they
are making money with small sheep
farm. There is plenty of demand both
for the wool and the meat. But these
two women also run an apiary, mar
keting their honey, in a distinctive
package 1t is the finest honey, and
they charge a high price for it. They
have worked up a trade with list of
private purchasers, and sell through
the mail.
The thing is to have only the very
highest class of produce, to charge
high for it, to put it into attractive
and striking packages that are an adj
vertisement in themselves, and to sell
direct to the consumer. With the par
eel post this is possible We find it
better to specialize in several things
rather than in one Establish a mar
ket for one of your items and you es-
tablish it for all.
This sounds like good talk, and
