AN ANECDOTE OF Mrs. HAYES.-The
simplicity of manners which makes Gov
Hayes and his family so popular with the
people. is well illustrated by an Incident
hat occurred in 1868. Col. Hayes was
then in camp with his regiment at Char
lesion, West Virginia. While there Mrs
Hayes visited her husband, and made q
short so ouln in camp. James Parker Of
Mesopotamia. Trumbull county, was Il
good-natured. folly - boy" in Que of the
companies Of Hayes regiment. Soon
after Mrs llayes's arrival. and before ii
was known to all the boys, Parker was
expressing his regrets to some of his com
rades that there was no one to mend his
blouse and put pockets in it. One of them
replied: Why, jim, why don't you take
1t to the woman who does the sewing for
the regiment, and get her to fix it,"
Didn't know there was such Il woman.
Where is she?' asked Parker. "SheS up
i'll the coloncfs tent" said his comrade.
and if you'll take your blouse up there
she II mend it for you. That's what she's
here for The unsophi~tcatcd Parker at
once started for the coloners tent. blouse
IN hand. Colonel Hayes politely returned
his s:llGtr, invited him in, and inquired
what he wanted. He replied that he want
ed his blouse mcnded and pockets put in
it, and that he understood there was a
woman there to do SEWN" for the regi-
ment. The colonel took in the situation
at ouce With Il merry twinkle in his eyes,
he called TO Mrs. Hayes and asked if she
could fix the sol;er's blouse. She promptly
accepted the job, and told Parker to cali
for it in the afternoon. When Parker re-
turned the boys were looking ont for some
fun. " Where's your blou>e?' they asked
" Why left it with the woman to be fin
ed. said Parker. And when. in answer
to their further questioning. he told them
how the colonel received him, and how
kindly the woman undertook the Job of
liking his blouse, the boys could hardly tell
whether the joke was on Jim or on them
selves. And when, la'er in the day, Parker
appeared with his blouse neatly mrndcI
and two ample pockets in it he was the
hero of hi, company.

eyery one looked sorrowful and sad, and macy
were the tears that were shed that day. The

memory. Wheo the news came we'll remem-
Der how for long time my father walked the
