PILLANS & C0. The Pure Food Store Ask the Inspector The Telegram Is Up-To-Now The Irregular Member — By Annie Hinrichsen (Copynym 1912, b) Assoctated Lm.uu Press) “Be still. 1 wish to hear what Mr. Ra'!ston {s saying.” Mary Collins lshuu}i her head impaticntly at the men with her. “Nobody listens to Ralsten,” scoffed the representative of a metropolitan | paper. “I well.” “He iIs an {rregular,” commented a member of the assembly, “a man who | votes according to his own convie tions, Instead of obeying his party’s mandates. He refuses to obey the dictates of the party leaders. le will not make alllances with the other party. No party or faction can claim him. He votes as he chooses, re gardless of party lines, and intro- duces all sorts of impossible but highly meritorfous bills. Because he will not stand by either party, neithe er party will stand by him. He is making a speech now In favor of one of his yllls, but nobody is listening to him." Mary Collins walked afaw from the group of legislators and newspaper men to a place near the irregular member. Accustomed from childhood to the unwritten laws of legislative proced- ure, tralned to detect and understand every condition and change In the mental atmosphere of the assembly, she knew that Ralston was speaking to men whose ears were deaf to the words of an f{rregular party man. The members were reading, writing or walking about. The presiding of- ficer sat In his chalr yawning osten- tatiously. The pages clattered nolst- ly around the speaking member. Several times Ralston’s eyes met Mary’s. When he sat down, reward- ed by the Indifferent silence of his fellow members, he turned toward her. She smiled and nodded with emphatic approval in the shake of her pretty head. There was a flash of surprised pleasure and gratitude in his eyes. When the house adjourned she was standing near the entrance of repre- sentatives’ hall. “Your speech this morning was a good one,” she said. When he smiled the firm-lipped, austere legislator became a boyish young man. “You are the only per- son who thought so0,” he sald, whim. sically. “The members won‘t listen to me and since I never accomplish anything you newspaper people pay no attention to me.” do,” she retorted. “He talks THE EVENING TELEGRAM LALELAND, FLA., May 9, 1912, you again. 1 love you very dearly,” he went on in a matter of fact tone. “But you are engaged to Grant Warren. If you were free I'd do my best to win yvou.” The next morning shortly after the | SICAL assembly convened Grant Warren | rose and asked ror recup.nnfon ‘ “Mr. Speaker.,” he said, “"as chafr- man of the committee on election L contests 1 desire to report to the N NN house our decision in the case of m S Jones versus Ralston.

But [I'll stick to my ideals.” “Ideals are sometimes cold com- panions,” sald the girl bitterly. They had left the state house and were walking toward the hotel. “They are,” the man agrecd. “But when we give them up we sacrifice the best of ourselves; we give up all that ralses us above the common sordidness of life.” He pushed open the hotel door for her. In the lobby stood Grant War- ren, a leader of the house and a mem- ber of the party to which Ralston be- longed. He came toward them, nod- ded to Ralston and spoke impatiently to Mary. “I've been walting Let's go in to lunch.” “What do you see in that man to like?" Warren asked when they were in the dining room. “His ideals, I think,” absently. The irregular was at a table not far from them. “The man has a lot of crazy no- tions. The political whirl is no place for him. He will soon have a chance to redeem himself with his party. The franchise bill which was intro- duced a few weeks ago will soon be voted on. It is a party measure and we can pass it by a majority of one if all the members of our party vote for it. But Ralston will probably re- fuse to support it. The loss of his vote will defeat the measure. If he stands by his party we shall forgive him his past misdemeanors. If he forsakes us we shall throw him out of the party and out of the house.” “Shall you vote against the fram- chise bill?” Mary asked Ralston sev- eral days later. “l have announced my {nteation of doing s0. I can see nothing but barm In it.” “You understand, do you not, that your refusal to vote with your party on this measure will cost your a great price?” “It will probably cost me my seat in the house.

Good manners (as well as charlty) should begin at home, therefore par- ents cannot begin too early to teach their children how to talk and how to behave. CHANCE OF A LIFE TIME A child should say “Yes, father,” “No, Mrs. Dlank,” or “Thank you, I am going to retire from active business and in order to do Miss Soand-So;” never *“No, sir, this I am offering my entire stoc 5 e “Yes, ma'am” or merely “Yes,” "No."[ il tock of Dry Goods, Notions, etc., or “Thank yon.” The latter forms of speech are used by servants only. ABSOLUTE A child should always wait to be OST spoken to by an older person. He or she should never interrupt in a con- versation A boy can Y‘ardly learn too early that he should stand when a woman or young girl enters the room or comes to the dining table after he is seated. All children, both boys and girls, should be taught to stand whenever they are spoken to by older persons. No child should remain seated when older persons are standing in the group of which they are members. To lose one's temper with a child 1s one of the greatest mistakes a parent can make. In a child’s mind to be “mad” is naughty, therefore when “Mother” or “Father” {s angry or in ritable the child notices it and feels that If his or her parents can do this, why should they scold the child for the very same fault? Example means everything to a child. Therefore, if you want your child not only to be good and clever, but to have good manners and to talk well, remember you parents set the example in all. 1f you want to make $1 do the work of $5, come to my store and lay in a supply of Sprinz and Summer Goods.
