"a. JOHNSON, TAILOR"

(Grccnvlle (Tenn.) Letter to Pi;tsburs D!sp-t h.
We walked along the narrow sidewalk
and finally came to the main street Of
town. My guido pointed out some relics
as VIC passed along and we crossed the
struggling thorouehfarc and descended
gentle declivity, at the foot of which
babbled little stream. We halted in
front of little one-story house. 4 Vir-
ginian creeper mingled its vived green
with the mildewed white paint. Over
the door my eyes saw q legend on an old
piece of painless board, which was all
sprung and weather-beaten. Some strag-
Cling, old-style letters, scarcely deciph-
erable in their faded blackness, met my
gaze. Only three words, but those three
words had once convulsed g hemisphere.
They were an embodiment of possibii-
ties; an epitome Of the power Of intel
lect over surroundings; story Of match
less power, and a pcrisLing record Of
imperishablc brilliarcy. This simple
legend was as follows: "a. johnson,
Tailor
The lettering is rude and was evide:
ly done in pay for a pair Of jeans made
by the taiior-President for the village
sign writer; indeed, the village tradition
runs to that effect. Here at that very
window the humble tailor sat sewing
when his townsmen came, in 1928, to
apprise him that the signal honor of be-
ing Alderman at Greenville had been
given to him by his appreciative fellow
citizens No need to further trace the
career of the illustrious Andrew John
son, seventeenth President of the United
States. The old house is in good repair,
kept SO by the Mayor of the city, and
the villagers have thousand traditions
and anecdotes to relate about the house
and its distinguished occupant, one of
which will serve to close with.
''Nose Green WIZ a character round
about Greenville, en- wuz notorious for
OWN every one OF the store folk on
Main street. Shiftless-that shiftless
that he'd tote his old musket aloug Main
street with his clothes falling often him
en- never keering, sab, so long as he had
a drink in his gullet. Nose he'd mis'a-
bic old yaller dog which wuzn't with
shootin' at. Wal, one day Nose wuz
powerful hard up fer some Jean pants
en- he traded off the dog for three yahds
of cloth. How tn git them made, Nose
didn't kno', en- ez he had no weemin
folk he lowed he'd sit Andy tn make
them pants. Meanwhile the yaller dog
he'd gnawed the rope ez he'd ben tied
with en- kim scooting back tn Nose.
"Mose wuz in high glee en- lowed ef
he could get them pants made by Andy
ez cheap ez he got the cloth he'd be
powerful lucky. So he went down and
got Andy tn measure him fer the pants.
But Andy knowed Nose and said ez how
he'd tn plank down in advance or there'd
be no pants. Andy talked so perlite

thet dog agin. ANDY, sez he, there's

keounty, en- ef you'll du good job on

RED THE FAYcRITE COLOR.

Red is favorite color for everything.
It has been popular in Paris for the past
six months and now promises to be
equally fashionable here. It requires
time for Americans to become accus-
toned to decided novelties, but when
they do the extreme of using colors
promiscuously is generally adopted and
this will likely prove the case with the
bright color that is popular; beautiful
and stylish as it is if worn with discre-
ton. 4 red bonnet, made Of crepe, has
faring brim standing up well above
the face, with wreath of poppies be-
meath it. The trimming upon the out
side consists Ola ladder up one side made
of pcarl-edged ribbon.
Chenille is applied in various ways.
Many wire bonnets are covered with
chenille OF different colorings, twisted in
and out, the fronts pointed, the backs
turned back. 'Astrachan bonnets are
new and will be in demard-not made
of FIR, but of imitation woolen Astrachan
in all colorings. These all have the
plain turn-back coronet. The great
novelty Of the moment is that bonncts
are made Of Two colors. For example, 4
red crown, with blue sides AID the
turned-back coronet blue The color
ines in this kind of bonnet are princi-
pa1y brown and gteen, brown and red,
brown and beige. Horseshoe sunken
crowns are. as far as can be seen at pres
ent, likely style of the coming season.
The ribbon IS fol,ied and crossed over
this crown, coming forward to form the
strings. Many Of the new felt hats have

4 Poor Farmer Boy.

Speaking of kentucky elections some
curious stories come TO ne in regard to
the Hon. William Preston Taulbee, q
member Of the House who represents the
mountainous regions of Kentucky de-
scribed in Charles Egbert Craddock's S
novels. Taulbce IS long, lank, caday-
erous, smooth-faced, salow-compleNon-
ed man, thirty-tve years of age. He has
black eyes, dark, hair, and sort of a
frontier air about him. He is man Of
some ability, and the Congressional
Directory says that he prepared himself
for Congress by studying for the minis
try three years and for the law three. He
has John D. Whites old district, and
whereas it is al open secret that White
used to buy his district, Taulbee was
elected on the grounds that he was q
poor boy and man of the people. 1t is
said that he made his poverty his plea
for election on the stump, and that
among the favorite sentences of his
stump speeches to the mountaineers were
such as the following: 81 would have
the people Of these mountains show the
wOrid that q poor boy can go to Con-
cress. I would have the nobility of
France know It. I would let the Queen
Of England Know It. Aye! would let
tie l1orarchs of the world know that
down here il Kentucky one man is as
good rs another, and that poor farm
cr's boy can be elected to one OF the
highest Offices II the Land. \ good deal
OF the elcctionccrins in the Kentucky
mountains is done by talking at the
crossroads and private conversations.
