An Anecdote of Mrs. Hayes.

The Warren. Ohio. Tribune says: The
| simplicity of manner which makes Gov
Hayes 2nd family 80 popular with the
people is we'll illustrated by an incident
that occurred in 1868. Colonel Hayes
was then in camp with his regiment at
Charleston, West Virginia. While
there Mrs. Hayes visited her husband
and made . short tojourn in camp.
James Parker, Of Mesopotamia. Trum,
bull county. was . good-natured, jolly
hoy" in one Of the companies of Hayes
regiment Soon after Mrs. Hayes ar
rival, and before it was known to all
the boys. Parker ~as expressing his re-
grets to some Of his comrades that there
wee no one to mend his blouse and put
pockets in it. One Of them replied:
why, jim, why don't you take it to
the woman who does the sewing for the
regiment and get her to fix it Z" Il
didn't know there was such woman.
Where is she Z" "Sbe's up in the colo
pels tent" said his comrsde, land if
you'll take your blouse up there she'll
mend it, That's what she's there
for"
The unsophisticated Parker At once
started for the colonel's tent. blouse in
hand. Col. Hayes politely returned
his salute. invited him in, and inquired
what he wanted. He replied that he
wanted his blouse mended aud pockets
put in it. and that he understood there
was y woman there to do sewing for the
regiment The colonel took in the sit
uation At once. With merry twinkle
in his eyes called to Mrs. Hayes and
asked her if she could fix the soldier s
blouse. She promptly accepted the
job. aud told Parker to call for it IN the
afternoon.
When Parker returned to his COM
rades they were looking out for some
fun. Where's your blouses" they
asked. why. l left it with the woman
to be fixed" said Parker And when.
in answer to their further questioning,
lie told them how the colonel had re-
ceived him and how kindly the woman
undertook the job Of fixing his blouse.
the boys could hardly tell whether the
joke was on Jim or themselves; and
when later in the day, Parker appeared
with his blouse neatly mended and two
ample pockets in il, he was the hero Of
his company
1t may well be imagined that the
incident did not lessen the popularity
of the gallant colonel and his wife.
Poor Jim died in the service, and his
name. with many others, is engraved
on the beautiful monument at Mesopo-
tamis.
