TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, APRIL 20, 1909 A Fulsome Compliment. '0*00*0*0*0»0«0»0 T. BOÌT8, Hicks’ Story. During Mr. Cleveland's tour of th« south shortly after his marriage Mrs. Cleveland and he were driving one day through tbe streets of one of the larger towns escorted by two of Its citizens. Some one threw a bunch of violets to Mrs. Cleveland, and Mr. Cleveland bent forward to catch it, remarking as e presented It, "I wonder why no one gives me flowers.” One of the gentlemen present gal lantly replied, "We think you have won the fairest Hower In all the land.” “Ab, yes,” returned the president; "but, you see, I can’t keep her In wa ter!” “It Is not necessary since you keep I her In such excellent spirits," was tbe reply. Here Mrs. Cleveland Interposed, say- Ing. “I am afraid you are guilty of flat tery.” whereupon came the reply: “No, madam. Flattery Is fulsome compliment, and In this instance no compliment could be either too frank or too fulsome.” The charm of this response lies In the last and fourth from the last words. Mrs. Cleveland's maiden name being Frances Folsom. It was in 1847 that Hicks first made e county u-vrne as a witty raconteur, lu that yeai Sir Samuel Spry, who had been member for Bodmin slui-e the great reform bill, lost his seat and in •O»OC«O«C»O*O»O»iJ a petulant mood took legal proceedings 1, by American Press Asso against Hicks ou tbe ground that be ciation. ) hud abused bis official position to in red my medical diploma fluence voters at tbe poll.
