A Perfect Gentleman.

“Who is the man who has just gone out?” asked a globe trotter of a barkeeper in Deadwood City. “That,” replied the gin jerker, ”that’s a perfect gentleman—one of the most perfect gentlemen in the camp.” “Indeed!” said the surprised stranger. “You bet he is; why, the other night over at Jack Bowie’s game he killed a man for something or other, and the next day he paid the undertaker’s bill out of his own pocket, and sent the widow a barrel of flour. It’s true, he made a big winning, and all that, but how many men do you meet nowadays with a great big heart like that ? He’s a perfect gentleman, sir!”— San Francisco Post.
