Roll of the House. The list of the members of the ouse of representatives can now be iven, with the exception of two or three seats.

Carey and W. G. Mauldin. Officers of the Legislature. Now that the legislature is prac tically selected, the elections to be held by that body are already being diseussed. It is the general opinion that Senator W. L. Mauldin, of Greenville, will be elected president pro tem of the senate. He was for merly lieutenant governor and as such presided. over the senate. Two years ago he was defeated for presi dent pro tern by Senator Blease, the vote being a tie. If his health per-. mits it is presumed that Gen. R. R. Hemphill will be reelected clerk of the senate, but a new reading clerk will be elected, as the former read ing clerk, Mr. W. H. Stewart, has been elected a member of the senate from York. In the house Speaker Whaley will again be . eandidate for reelection, having' served only one term with dis tinguished ability and satisfaction, and it is possible that he will not have opposition. Mr. D. D. McColl, Jr., of Marlboro, who was his lead ing opponent two years ago, stated to the eorrespondent of the News and Courier a few days ago that he would not be a eaindidate. Mr. J. W. Nash, who was the third candi date for speaker in 1907, was defeat ed for reelection to the house from Spartanburg. In connectio~n with the speakership the names of the follow ing have been used: Mendel L. Smith, of Kershaw, formerly speaker; Dr. C. T. Wyche, of Newberry, and E. Marion Rucker, of Anderson; but it is not known definitely thtat any one of these will be a candidate. For clerk of the house, Mr. J. Wilson Gibbes, of Columbia, is the only can didate .annouinced to succeed Clerk T. C. Hamrer, who will retire after ten years' service. Mr. Gibbes has been assistant clerk for several years. The reading clerk of the house, Mr. John S. Withers, of Chester, has died since the last session and a new man will be selected. Mr. J. S. Wil son, of Lancaster, sergeant-at-arms of the house, was in the city today and stated that he would be a can didate for reelection. REAL LADIES ARE SOAROE IN AMERICA. Generations Are Required to Produce the True Type. I once heard a man say: "She used to belong to the -- set, you know, but she ma.rried X and moved to the suburbs. Of r-curse she is not the lady she used to be.'' Could moving make or unmake a lhdy? says Anne Forsythe in the New Idea Woman's Magazine for October. In England, of course, one's business and one's acquaintance re gulate one's gentility: and both are inhecrited. The 1rocer's w ~ife says, complacently. " I an not a lady. In America a lady is no t a lady because her husband is a retail gro ,c..; and if se s no avd her hus MORGI FEW DAYS L( band's wholesale business does not so determine. The business may back her financially, but if she is not a. lady her very riches may prove her undoing. It is more dangerous to have too many flunkeys at the door than too few. They are the sign of the nouveau rich, a. state which is, in itself, the great crime of America. A lady is the result of generations of cultivation. She is, in every sense of the term, well -bred. I remember an Englishwoman's apology for a child in whom she was much inter ested, "She has been very carefully brought up." Then, added she: "You would think she was a lady's child." From her point of view, of course, the child could never be a lady be cause she was not a lady's child. And the Englishwoman was right in a measure; she never could be a lady, because one generation of cultiva tion will not stablish a type. The child was merely veneered, the sligh est scratch of vicissitude would be certain to destroy the illusion. The horticulturist has proven the necessity for .-enerations of culture in changing a flower type. How could the type of involuntary thought and action in a human being be com pletely transformed in a few years? Yet. the average woman has gulped cultivation as though it were predi gested food. It would be incorrect to infer that there are no real ladies in America because others may occupy the fore ground of society and appear con-. stantly in the public eye. There are ladies, just as there are ancestors, and they are found together. Making the Best of One Another. We may. if we choose, inake the worst of one another. Everyone has his weak points; everyone has his faults; we may make the worst of these; we may'fix our attention con stantly upon those; but we may al so make the best of one another.

By loving whatever is lovable in those around us; love will flow back from them to us; and life will' become a pleasure instead of pain; and each will become like heaven, and we shall become not unworthy followers of Rim whose name is Love. There is a story of a German bar Dn who made a great Aeolian harp by stretching wires from tower to tower of his castle. When the harp was ready, he listened for the music. But it was in the still air; the wires hung silent. Autumn came, with its entle breezes, and there were faint whispers of song. At length the win ter winds swept over the eastle, and now the harp answered in majestic music. Such a harp is the human heart. It does not yield its noblest music in the summer days of joy, but in the winter Df trial. The sweetest songs on ea'th have been sung in sorrow.
