Miss Eliza Pinson, a lady forty
years of age, and we'll known because
of her luxuriant growth OF beard, died
at her home, about three miles from
Atlanta, Ga, one day recently. She

ache, and as a means of relief used
poultices pretty freely. These were
bound around the lower jaws. This
treatment was kept until it was d is
covered.that unless the poultices were
discontinued she would have a full
beard.
The poultices were left off, but this
did not stop the growth of short black
beard that had appeared on her we'll
rounded face. This was notifying to
the family, and shaving onlyincreased
the growth. Finally all hopes of stop
ping the beard was abandoned, and it
vas allowed to grow. For twenty
years she has a black beard fif-
teen inches long. Naturally such q
freak was sought after by the show
men of the country, and several times
she was approached with offers to APP
pear with various shows, but each
time she plainly and positively re-
fused the offer.
When she visited Warrenton she
was always the attraction for such
strangers as might be in the town.
She was exceedingly modest, and al
ways wore a bonnet to hide her beard
as much as possible.
A Pretty Navajo Indian Tradition.
One day in their desolate retreat
they saw at early dawn a bright a
of sunshine beaming upon a lovely
verdant hill not far away. Four days
in succession this phenomenon was
presented, and being drawn by curl
osity to visit the spot they found q
beautiful girl babe. This child was
regarded as the daughter of heaven
and earth, and they reared her with
the greatest care. When she grew to
womanhood the great warrior, who
rides upon a white horse and carries
the sun upon his arm as a shield, fell
in love with and married her. The
offspring of this union we're two sons,
who slew the giants who had destroy
ed the Navajos, and under their pro-
lection the world was peopled again.
The daughter of heaven and earth
was finally taken by her warrior hus-
band and transported to the great
waters of the westward, where she
was placed in a floating palace, which
has since been her home. She is i'm
mortal, and to her are addressed the
prayers OF the people. Her water
home is guarded by twelve immortal
beings, who return periodically to the
land to learn what the Navaios are
doing, and to carry back with them
any messages which they may send.
