HOW 70 De POLITE.

The following is quoted from Z re-
cent book published on the art Of be-
ing polite-with some homemade ad.
dittons:
It is not the correct thing:
ITO dip the whole hand in the finger
bowl. If the hands require washing
politely ask the waiter to bring ba.
sin.
ITO open the mouth unduly wide in
eating" Put all large pieces in your
pocket for home consumption.
To put the skins of potato, orange
peel, ETC., on the cloth.I Throw them
under the table. The Shah of Persia
always does this.
TO tip the plate in order to secure
the last drops Of soup" 1t is better
to raise it gracefully to your lips and
drink it,
ITO tuck the feet up on the rounds
of ones chair or to place them on the
stand of the table" Coil them neat
ly, one on each side of your chair. Be
careful not to place them on your next
neighbor's. You might rumple his
patent leather.
To trouble your neighbor to pass
you the dishes when there is serv'
ant present. Remember he is try
ing to get done on schedule time
Thoughtfulness for others is the basis
Of true politeress.
TO rub spoon, fork or knife on
ones napkin before beginning the
! meal" Profess faith in your hostess
even though you may have doubts Of
her scullery maid. Besides, We al
| must eat our peck.
For the guest to starve instead Of
asking for what he needs" State youl
wants politely but firmly. And in s
case of actual starvation it would be
forgiven If ycu helped yourself te
! some Of your neighbcr's portion.
This is only little of the valuable
| advice given. When this has been di
| gested we may give more>-Philadel

He dresses to suit his own comfort,

such garments are expected or re-

eye of his associates and those who
have watched him daily in the House
of Representatives, however, is that of
a carelessly clad man. When deliver
ing his most famous speech of the
last session, his attire was suggestive
more of the lumber man in his sun
day clothes or a farm hand on an out
ing than a statesman in the greatest
forum of earth.
He Wore a loose fitting sack coat and
trousers that hung about his hips and
wrinkled from the knees to his shoe
tops. The responsibility OF keeping
these neither garments in their proper
place hung upon a black leather belt
that was kept around his waist line
by the projection of his hip bones. The
duty which this strip of leather per-
formed recalled the wondrous belly

BY ARTHUR ALLEN.

Washington. Aug. 30.-"Straight as
the pine. knotty as the spruce, whole
some as the balsam and clean as the
birch" This is a description by one
of his admiring constituents way
down in Maine. of Congressman
Charles E. Littefield, who has swung
into prominence through the announce
ment that he is to enter the legisla-
ture lists as administration champion
in the contest with the trusts.
This hunter and challenger OF the
octopus" as jerry Simpson and the
latter's old associates were wont to
term combinations of capital, is a char
acteristic product of the Pine Tree
State. He has helped to keep lis
native state prominent in the public
mind as have Others of her celebrated
sons like Blaine and Dingley and
Frye and Milliken and Boutelle and a
goodly company of dead and gone
statesmen. He has done it in his own
way, without the fault of imitation
and by presenting new phases of the
rugged New England character Those
who knew him well would hesitate to
call him a demagogue, although some
of his performances have been almost
as bizarre as those of men in Congress
and other public positions who are
usually thought of as belonging to that
class.
The Maine mans home admirer did
not wish by comparing him with the
products Of the forest TO imply that
Mr.. Littlefield is a wooden man. He
merely wished 10 convey in woodman %
smile his idea Of the physical and
moral proportions Of his fav0rite con
