Speaker Cannon's Friendship For Him Evidenced At the President's Reception. A Washington dispatch to the Greenville News says that Con gressman Aiker. attended the big reception given by President Roose velt Thursday night. It was his first visit, but courtesy demanded that he should go to at least one of the four big receptions given by the President during the winter. These receptions are attended by the Four Hundred of Washington and the cream of the official life of the cap ital. Handsomely dressed men,beau tiful women in the most fashionable attire to be seen in the world, for eign diplomats, with their bright uniforms and their strange tongues, the beautifully decorated and bril iantly lighted roo-ns. the music of the Marine band, all furnish a measure of intoxication for the new visitors. Congressman Aiken was wander ing around with Mrs. Aiken, point ing out to his wife the men of prominence when "UncleJoe" Can non, speaker of the House, slapped him on the shoulder in hearty style, and said: "Hello, Aiken, this is a great scene, isn't it? How are you enjoying yourself? I am delighted to see you out tonight." "I am pleased to be present," said Aiken, in that hearty. frank way of his, "but just between you and me, Mr Speaker, I do not enjoy this half as much as being with a paity of the men and women of my district. I've got the finest lot of people in my district in the world, and I'm never so happy as when among them, talking with the men about all sorts of things and with the ladies about whatever pleases their good souls to talk about." "Well, Aiken, you are a philoso pher, sure," said Speaker Cannon, "and, confidentially, I don't mind teliing you that I prefer plainer peo ple and plainer things than this my self," and the brainest Republican in the House went on talking with Aiken a long time. There is a de cided friendship between the two men, and Congressman Aiken will probably find that the speaker will be a valuable friend to him as he continues to serve in the House. Wo ian Masquerad d as aMa,. Boise, Idaho, January x6. -A re markable case of a woman mas querading as a man has been dis covered at Rockville, in the Wes tern part of the State near the Oregon line. A few days ago Joe Monoghan, a well known cowboy. died suddenly on Succor creek in Oregon. When the body was be ing prepared for burial it was lound the deceased was a woman. She had ridden the ranges of eastern - Oregon for twenty-five years and was well known as an expert, faith ful, untiring cowboy. She was. - about ?4 years old and had served on juries, and voted in all i:lections Town Boom Hints. Never let an opportunity p.,ss to praise your town and exto' its ad vantages.

Cor. Augusta Chronicle. The contest for chairman of the board of dispensary directors was preceded by a warm campaign. For nights there have been caucuses of all kinds and of all degrees of heat. Col. H. H. Evans, of Newberry, was opposed by Mr. J. A. McDer mott, of Horry. When it came down to the vote Evans won in a canter. On the first ballot the election was secured, Evans get ting ninety-nine votes and McDer mott fifty-six. It was an easy thing for Hub Evans. He is a very popular man and known from one end of the State to the other. He is of a genial robust disposition, I shakes hands like a whirlwind and talks in loud, cheerful tones. He knows all about the dispensary, having served several terms as a member ot the board of directors. When seen right after the race Mr. Evans was jubilant and as he grasped the hands of his friends, shouted: "Why, he didn't more than toe weight me, did he? Just steadied me down to my gait, eh?" Mr Evans and his friends, who are nurmerous, are well pleased at the great victory, which is quite a com pliment to the winner, for Mr. Mc Dermott is himself a strong man. The Value of Politeness. If those who are doubtful as to the correct course to pursue in any given situation will remember that even the wrong thing is overlooked if one is but absolutely polite in the doing of it, their relief might be great. A gentleness of demeanor and a courteous response or question can never be out of place. A man may wear a business snit of clothes to an evening wedding less noticeably than a truculent air of insolence. If he be perfectly well bred as far as behavior goes, it matters not so much what his outward garb, al though by an unwritten law of social observance certain clothes are the correct thing for the certain occasions. .Voliteness is never wrong. Its practice goes nearly all the waN toward the goal of the right thing in the right place. We hear of polite insolence. but insolence is never polite, and it is never under any~ circumstances polite to be insolent Hot Water For The Nerves.
