The American Gentleman.
Yew York Commercial-Advertiser.
The man who tries to draw class dis-
tinctions aped after an aristocratic civ-
ilization is not our gentleman, but a
cheap snob. The ideal American gen-
tleman, the American Sir Roger de
| Coverly, has not been done in art, but
| when he is pictured, it will be seen that
| he is a natural and ripened embodi-
| ment of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, of quality without arrogance, of
| culture without, phariseeism or snob-
| bery. Washington was a gentleman,
| but in no distinctive sense an Amer-
ican. Jackson was an American, but
| too harsh and one-sided for a gentle-
{ man. Jefferson and Lincoin probably
| came as near the type any two
{ prominent figures in our history.

DIVORCEES SHOULD BE HANGED,
“I believe when people can’t live to-
gether they ought to be hanged. I be-
lieve- the appliance for divorce should
be grounds for capital punishment, and
if you make it a capital crime you will
see more smiling faces on husbands
and wives in six months than you've
seen all your lives. They tell me that
out in South Dakota, now, they sell
marriage licenses with a divorce cou-
pon attached. I am opposed to it all.
When you see a divorce case pend-
ing, you may make up your minds that
one or the orther of the parties is a bad
egg, and nine chances out of ten both
are bad eggs. I don’t want to have
anything to do with them. If I was
walking down the street with my wife,
and she would point out a man and
say: ‘There goes my first husband,
Sam, I would take to the woods on a
dead run.
INFLUENCE OF THE WIFE,
“We must live upright and true lives
here on earth if we wish life eternal.
A man who isn’t decent and upright in
this life is in mighty poor business try-
ing to get into the gates of Heaven.
Good wives make good” husbands.
It’s a2 mighty hard thing for the devil
to get a man who has got a good wife,
and if he does get him, he ought to get
him, and he won’t get much then.
I went home once: with a little Meth-
odist preacher—and Methodist preach-
ers outmarry any people you ever saw.
married for money,
and
started out ‘to get just a pure gal, and
he got her and she was a princess in
his humble little home.
The happiest days _you ever spent,
brother, were with yvdur dear little wife
in your little cottage. Build a fine
mansion and get into society, and hap-
piness will: take wings and flee for-
ever.”
VERY MUCH HENPECKED,
“I gueas I am the most henpecked
fellow on earth, A fellow who isn’t
henpecked is devil-pecked. I like it,
but I just won’t let her crow over it.
If I had married a cold-blooded woman
I would have sung every morning be-
fore breakfast:
‘I would not live alway,
I ask not to stay.
I don’t like cold-blooded people of
either sex. Give me men and women
of sympathy. I pity the woman who
marries an old stick. A woman some-
times thinks she has got a great catch,
but finds out that she only got an old
pair of pants.”

Measures of Distance.
A traveler in Florida says that on be-
ing asked how far a certain place was, a
native replied: “Waal, I reckon hit’s
'bout two whoops, P’r’ps hit may be
some furder,” he continued reflectively,
“but I ’low hit ain’t more’n two whoops
an a holler.” In Arkansasthey will tell
you it is two looks and a go-by, mean-
ing you are to pass two houses and find |
your destination just beyond the next.
In other parts of the west, it is said,
the natives measure distances in |
“chaws” of plug and will tell you your!
destination is about “two chaws” away. !
The Scottish way is to say, “It’s a far |
cry,” meaning it is about as far as one
can shout, while in many cases distance |
is measured in time, the German
“stunde” doubtless having its origin
| thus.
