There was one remarkable character con-
nected with my prison experience whom l
shall never forget, and whose name | am
sorry to say have unfortunately forgotten,
but It was civilian" something and he was
an old negro, and sold the Richmond dally
papers. Every morning about daylight the
old man passed the prison, shouting ms
wares, and knowing perhaps, that the papers
were not served regularly to the prisoners
he tried, as he walked along the Carey street
front to give us an idea OF the news, some
thing after this fashion.

LARRY GODKIH OF THE POST.
One of the Ablest Editorial
Writers in the Country.
Grief SCRIBE TO THE auswuwp PARTY.


A much talked Of, much written OF, abused.
praised aud iittlo-nnderstood man and editor
is L, 1. Godkin, editor Of the New York Kcel.-
ing Post and New York Nation. and chief
scribe TO the once famous, but now dwindling
party known as the Muswumps.
BY the same token he Is the least known OF
any editor or any political figure in all New
York, despite the fact that his name Is CON
stantly before the public.
Mr.. Godkin Is In way peculiar among the
editors aud writer's in New'York. in that he
ia an editor and writer pure and simple and
nothing else. Most OF the other metropolitan
editors have fads OF one sort and another. as
Tor instance. Mr.. Dana, who. besides editing
the sun has liking Tor a good bit OF horse
flesh, IS fond Of landscape gardening and the
growing Of mushrooms on his island home,
porosis. IN neck OF Long Island Sound, and
other thinga.
But MIR. Godkin has no tads aside from his
newspaper, the Post. Tho Nation ia a review
rather than news or literary paper. and his
gentle and pleasing pastlme OF slapswhane.
Ing men like Senator David b. Hin In tho ono
party or ex-senator Thomas O. Plat in the
other Is HE rot pastime.
Mr.. Godkin is Of the type Of public men
who may bo mo; at every turn. He is a man
Of medium stature and size with a kindly,
intellectual face on which is well trimmed
and kept beard. The face and head are
strong, There ia character as we'll as intol-
lect in the facial lines, yet tho man looks
what he Is, scholar, rather than q man OF
affairs. He has proved himself a man OF az

Startling.

1t was novel accident, with a novel sequel,
that befell Admiral Home during the war
with China in 1912. He had dlned on one OF
/. the ships of the fleet and when he came to
return to his own ship the tide was running
so strongly that his men could not pull
again ST it and he was compelled to take re-
fuge for the night in the frlgate Dido.
When getting out of his cockle-sheH boat
he made a false step and, as he was large
and heavy, the boat tilted over and III an in
slant he and his crew were struggling in the
water
The admiral luckily seized a rope which
hung over the side of the ship. Five of the
men seized hold of his legs and there they
hung shouting Justify for help, till they were
drawn in blythe Dido's crew. The admiral,
pretty well exhausted, was put to bed. with a
not drink, and soon dropped to sleep after
giving directions to be called early
At the stated hour the officer of the watch
reused the admiral. who, still dreaming OF
drowning and other hcrrors, droWsily asked:
who's there?'
DEATH was the reply.
1t was startling and the admiral looked out
of his cot expecting TO see skeleton or some
other CHASTITY object, but now fully awake
and perceivipg only very gentlemanlike
young man standing close to him, he OBJ
served:
"It is very singular. I thought was told
that death was before me-"
And so he is" answered the youug officer.

Finely checked velvet is very fashionable.
1t is not as dressy as plain velvet. and is suit
able rather to out-of-doors toilet and day

was quite beautiful enough for a diner in

TO be worn. A facing OF black velvet Is on
