Muld run. Time and time again the
Democrats have made vigorous efforts to
reclaim this district. On one occasion
they came within few hundred votes of
putting their candidate across, but I'M
usually they were defeated by decisive
maiorities. The district is now repre-
sented by Congressman Thomas Parran,
one of the shrewdest and most astute pol
iticians in the Republican party. The
Democratic nominee is Mr.. Frank o.
Smith, of Calvert county.
The Sixth district has for many years
been represented by Republican. Until
two years ago the Republican nominal
tiou was considered equivalent to an
election. Two years ago the Republi-
cans had bitter factional fight over the
nomination, which left the party divided.
The Democrats named Mr.. David J.
Lewis, one of the most popular Demo-
Gratis of the state, and, backed by united
party and after most aggressive cam
pagn. Mr.. Lewis was elected. AS a
member of the House, Mr. Lewis has
made phenomaly able and brilliant rec
ord. He has quickly come to the front
as one of the leaders of that body. He
is a champion of the laboring classes,
consistently fought for measures in their
interest Mr.. Lewis record will be
great asset TO him in his campaign for re-
election. He is an able orator and on the
stump will forcefully present the issues
to the voters. The Republican nominee
is Mr.. Charles d. Wagaman, of Washing
ton county, who also won the nominal
ton after a bitter factional Republican
primary. Mr.. Wagaman is Roosevelt
Republican. The laboring, mining and
farming classes are particularly strong in
this district and because of Mr. Lewis
record, combined with his personal pop
ularity, his friends are confident that he
will be reelected The campaign in the

Billy sullenly gave her the promise
and she went back to her baking.

said, meeting his little neighbor at the
fence, ever since Aunt Minerva got

Billy kept his few toys and play

excitedly into the yard.

to him for his education and improve

cipal events in the lives of the heroes

Her nephew heard the stories so
often that he had some expression or
incident by which he could identity
each, without paying much attention
while she was reading.
He and his aunt had Just settled
themselves on the porch for a reading.
Jimmy was on his own porch cutting
up funny capers, and making faces for
the other child's amusement.
Lemme go over to Jimmy's, Aunt
Minerva" pleaded her nephew. IAN

signaled Jimmy to meet him.

The two little girls immediately
opened the gate, crossed the yard. and

critical survey with affected unconcern
and Indifference. as befitted one who
had attained such prominence.

When George Washington

dispute enc day with another
young gentleman, a Mr.. Payne.
The argument grew very warm.
and finally Washington said
something which gave great Of
Tense to Mr.. Payne. The latter
retaliated by knocking him
down. According to the custom
OF the times, and the rules of
Honor" then prevailing, Wash
ington should have CHALLENGED
his antagonist to mortal combat,
end thus obtain satisfaction"
Every one expected him to do
this, and were greatly surprised
If not disappointed that he did
not. Upon mature reflection he
decided that he had been the az
gressor, and that he ought to
ask pardon OF Mr.. Payne. Ac-
eordingly he went to him the
next day and extending his hand
said: "To err is natural; to rec
fifty error is honorable. I find
! was wrong yesterday, and
wish to be right today. You
have had some satisfaction. If
you think that is sufficient, let
US be friends" After such a
speech as this there was but one
thing for Mr.. Payne to do. They
shook hands and were aood
friends ever after.
