It is one point upon which the cor
porations and the labor unions may
meet In harmony, tp their mi^pitil
advantage. r
In the close commercial competi
tion today the palm of advantage
goes to the business concerns whose
managers and workingmen have the
clearest brains and the steadiest
hands.
The great corporations are re
quiring that their men be soher, be
cause only In sobriety lie skill and
reliability.
Ts It not logical that the work
ingmen. through their organizations,
s’nould do as much for themselves?
It may seem somowhat Incongru
ous at first sight, yet It Is a fact that
many bartenders’ locals ^iave by
laws forbidding drinking while on
duty.
Even to the most nrdent defend
ers of drinking there Is no fact bet
ter known and more freely acknowl
edged than that the most capable
and most reliable bartender Is the
one who “never drinks behind the
bar.”
It Is easy to realize that a railroad
company should not permit the risk

the individual take the risk of hav

When you have a person who has
courage, but no gentleness you Have
a savage: grand, perhaps .possibly
noble, but still a barbarian. When
you find one who is gentle and not
brave you have found one who Is
no man at all .but a mollycoddle, n
milksop, a poor thing. But when
one Is .brave, nnd to his bravery adds
gentleness, he Is a specimen of that
most finished product of God’s han
diwork of which we have any knowl
edge—a gentleman. Of course T do
no refer to mere brute courage,
w’atch Is half'stupidity or Insensibil
ity. but to moral courage. Tn all
greatest men you perceive thts pe
culiar combination of fearlessness
and gentleness. These two elemenrs
compose the majesty of Jesus, who
alked fearless to death, of whose
kindness and sympathy flowed cut
to any in sorrow, whose forgiveness

Crane.
A SCOUT AND A GENTLEMAN.
The question "W’aat Is a gentle
man?" is answered by Sir Robert S.
Baden-Powell. Chief Scout of the
British Bov Scuots In the following
manner: "Many people are Inclined
to think that the word ‘gentleman’
means a man who was born rich,
and that a boy brought up at ex
pensive schools and colleges must
therefore be a gentleman w’.ien be
hns grown up. But this does not al
ways follow. A fellow who is luckv
enough to have been brought up fn
that way has certainly better chances
of being a gentleman than many a
poor hoy has. but at the same time
a poor boy can be Just as good
