By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dtn of Men, University of Illinois. 1 was for a considerable number of years In the unpleasant office of treas urer of an or fanUtitlon,. the duties of which required that I make collections from various members who had made sub scriptions for the support of the group. Now ask- in g p e o p le lor money, even lor money they have quite voluntarily Involves certain em- agreed to pay, barrassments. I had written Pinkerton twice a year for six or seven years, politely, too, calling his attention to the fact that his notes were overdue and the Indebtedness increasing as time went on, and emphasizing our need of funds. There was no reply, no remit tances, nothing but silence, but a good deal of -that, and yet the man was quite able to pay. Patience ceased to be a virtue; the worm turned. I wrote brother Pinkerton that I should put his account into the hands of a reputable attorney. Having failed In one way to collect I should' try another. I met him a few days later. There was no joy In his coun tenance, no glad hand extended, noth ing of cordiality In his greeting. "I have read your last letter," he announced to me, "and I think you are no gentleman." It was a question, I answered, that I was prepared to argue, but what ever the final decision might be, it seemed to me It hardly affected his in debtedness to his organization. The experience led me to ask myself, "What are the characteristics of a gentleman?" A gentleman still, I think, has re spect for women and for old age. I was walking down a corridor of a public building not long ago, when I came upon a young man, his hat on his head, a cigar between his teeth, talking to a young girl. As I came by he removed his hat and took the cigar out of his mouth. He still had respect for old age, but for women well, he had not really given the mat ter a great deal of consideration.- A gentleman Is clean of speech. clean of body, low voiced, little given i i to anger. At least when anger surges i i within him he controls It Nothing i niopl'a a man na pnmmnn mnM thnn loud, vulgar, profane and risque talk., j and n dirty body Is only little less i vulgar. 1 Respect for the feelings of others ! or the comfort or the happiness of others always marks the gentleman. Should 1 have dunned Pinkerton? An old liidy Is sitting across from me In the Pullman and facing her is a young fellow who has evidently never met her before. He has pushed a cushion under her feet; he has ad justed her pillow to give her more comfort; he has helped her on with her coat as she was leaving the train. He seemed to me a good deal of a gentleman, for he had made her com-' fortable, he had relieved her of re-, eponsibillty, he had made her happy., A gentleman is modest, reserved, seldom insists on sitting in the front seat, and does not often offer advice unless he is asked for It He does his duty whether It Is pleasant or not nnd In dolug it tries to give others as little discomfort as possible. (, 1320. Western Newspaper Union.) W ?JB.WSI development of the port here and referred the matter to Gov. O. Max Gardner with a request for immedi ate iction. Another special commit tee was appointed to continue a study of the project. The report of the special commit tee pointed out that in order to strengthen the freight rate structure of the state and also as a port here would be tfne of the best assets the Atlantic and North Carolina could have, immediate action should be taktn in regard to the matter as the fedeial government is now engaged in dredging a channel here and will cease operations if port facilities are not provided. The directors formally elected all pincers of the railroad appointed by Governor Gardner, A. D. Ward, of New Bern, being named president and W. J. Boyd, of Greensboro sec retary-treasurer.
