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

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

“It Is not necessary since you keep

reply.

compliment, and In this instance no
compliment could be either too frank
