For one of the first qualities of n gentleman is modesty, and one of the first require ments of a good journalist is immodesty. VA gentleman' never unduly Mows his own horn; a good newspaper man always blows it, vAecept ing the premises, perhaps the Atlantic Monthly writer is correct. But there will be those to maintain, a gentleman does not have lo be a vio let by the mossy stone, and a good newspaper man does not have to be a megalomaniac. . . ' Take Mike Do Young, publisher of the San Francisco Chronicle, for example. On .Sunday Mike presented the city of San Francisco with a complete memorial museum, on only one condition, "that it shall never he closed and no admission shall ever be charged." ... On Monday Mike's paper devoted thirty pages to the occasion with a banner on the front page, followed by a double column, spread, and n great array of pictures, with Mike as the most prominent figure in n majority of them. In fact, not being content with having his allur ing physiognomy in one five-column lay-out. once, Mike ingeniously put it in twice. The reader observes "M. II. Do Young presenting the museum," and pointing his finger, for fear the reader may miss the second most important personage, directly at "JI..H. Youiig, the museum's donor.' ' Then in bold face double leaded type on the first page, one reads: "Speakers and audience alike Joined In paying the highest possible tribute to Mr. de Young as a public spirited and generous citlen. The frequent and spontaneous applause thut interrupted tho speakers when they touched on Mr. de Young's altruism and eagerness to advance the Interests of ihe city, spolio eloquently of tho popular recognition of his great services to San Kranclseo." . Ahem! And so on and so .forth up to 90.000 words. Xow undoubtedly all this comprises news of an important and epoch making event, and perhaps if the Chronicle hadn't printed it, some other paper would, for it is one of the first principles of enter prising journalism to beat the other, fellow to it. ,., But let us suppose that Mike had been content with say 28 pages and with not more than one facial reproduction in each photo. Would his reputation as a good newspaper man have been seriously impaired? We doubt it. As to whether his standing as a gentleman would have been enhanced is another question. Newspaper men as a class aren't worried about, gentlemen. They leave that to periodicals like the Atlantic Monthly, with meagre circulation and super-norrtinj b'ra'iA pressure. RipptingRhnroos 0 won noon THE PEPTIMIST. THE PEptlJflST fs one who works with most ..eio'c&tin'g! vim; and sets example to the shirks who iniiy keep tab on him. So many men, with dragging feet, go to their tasks each day, with frowns they shuck the ears of wheat and thrash the bales of hay. With scowis they ply the shining saw or wield the useful churn; they're only happy when they draw tho pay they think they earn. And when there is a slump in trade, and workmen must be. fired, these delegates are first to fade they've made the bosses tired. Tho peptimist has taken pride in" labors5 snfca'iit'l sane, whatever tool he may have plied, a corkscrew or a plane, lie did not go with dragging step when morning whistles blew; in every motion there was pep, no sulky fits lie threw. And when .. a slump in trade appears, and workmen' are laid off, the boss an nounces through his tears, "We'lf keep this bustling toff. We can't afford to lot him go, he's such a useful man ;' we'll keep hiin, though to Tom and Joe we must attach the can." The peptimist is in demand wherever commerce dwells; ho makes his progress J through the land, and wears his string of bells. 9S "Perhaps Yoii Don't Know says the Good Judge How long a little 6f the Real Tobacco Chew will last.
