An Anecdote Of Mrs. Hayes
| The simplicity Of manners which makes
Gov. Hayes and his family so popular with
the people is illustrated by an incident that
occurred in 1868. Col. Hayes was then in
camp with his regiment at Charleston, West
| Virginia. While there Mrs.. Hayes visited
her husband and made short sojourn in
camp.
James Parker, Of Mesopotalnia, Irumbull
county, was good natured, jolly s'boy'' in
ono of the companies Of Hayes regiment.
Soon after Mrs. Hayes arrival, and before it
was known to all the boys, Parker was ex.
pressing his regrets to some Of his comrades
that there was no one to mend his blouse or
! put pockets in it. One Of them replied,
| ''Why, Jim, why don't you take it to the wo-
man who does the sewing for the regiment,
| and get her to lix it?'' s'Did'nt know there
was -such woman. Where is she?' asked
! Parker. ''She's up in the Colonels tent
said his comrade, ''and if youth take your
! blouse up there she'll mend it for you. That's
what she's here for
| The unsophisticated Parker at once started
for the Colonel's tent, blouse in hand. Col.
Hayes politely returned his salute and invi-
ted him. in and inquired what. he wanted. He
replied that he wanted his blouse mended
and pockets put in it, and that he understood
there was Il woman there to do sewing for
the regiment. The Colonel took in the situ-
alton at once. With merry twinkle In his
eyes he called to Mrs. Hayes and asked her
if she could fix the soldiers blouse. She
promptly accepted the job, and told Parker
| to call for it in the afternoon.
When Parker returned to them they were
looking out for some fun. 'sWherc's your
blouse?" they asked. ssWhy, 1 left it with
the woman to be fixed,'' SAID Parker And
when, in answer to their further questioning
| lie told them how the Colonel received him,
and how kindly the woman undertook the
job Of fixing the blouse, the boys could hard
| ly tell whether the joke was on Jim or on
themselves. And when, Ii er in the day,
Parker appeared with his blouse neatly men,
ded and two ample pockets in it, be was the
hero of his company.
Itmay well be immagined that the Incl
dent did not lessen the popularity of the gal
liant Colonel and his wife. Poor Jim died in
the service, and his name with many others,
is engraved on the beautiful monument ut
| McRopotamia.
