BREAKING THE NEWS GENTLY
The doctor came into the room rub
bing his hands and smiling. "Every-
thing all right ?" asked the man, who
was anxiously waiting for him. "Could
not do BETTER" returned the doctor.
"Good," said the man, with a sigh OF
relief. Then when he saw that the
doctor intended to say nothing more,
he asked, with some hesitation, "Er-
ah-boy or girl?" The doctor stop
ped rubbing his hands and looked a
triie uneasy, as if the task before him
were not just to his liking. "Well,

BB- A farmer in Columbus county,
N. c., last year realized $101 from
a four-acre patch in snap beans; he
followed the beans with corn that
shucked out 1S0 bushels; this was
augmented by twelve tons ofpea vines.
These four acres turned him out S37l,
or an average of S92.75 per acre, and
his land is not impoverished.
s6s- On an ordinary dirt road, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Record,
a horse can draw three times as much
weight as he can carry on his back.
On a good macadamized road, the ami
NAL can pull three times as much as
on a dirt road, while on an asphalt
pavement the power of the horse IS
multiplied to such degree that he
can draw eleven times as much as on
a dirt road, or 33 times as much as he
can carry on his back.
a9- Out of total Indian population
of over 25O,OOO, about one-half wear
the dress of civilization. A little over
$4,000 can read, and little less than
10000 thousand can use the English
language sufficiently for ordinary pur-
poses. About 60 per cent. of the en-
tire Indian school population is in
schools; and $4,000 individuals, rep
resenting something over 5000 fami-
lies, are actually living upon and the
cultivating the lands which have been
allotted to them in severalty. And
here is where real progress shows itself.

of the attack at Marine, Mex, when 96
teams and 300 wagons were captured
and $500 men killed by the enemy. he
reenlisred and was in the fights, making
well-earned reputation as soldier,
brave and true to those above him in
position. His gallantry on the field has
since been rewarded by the govern
ment.
He is very popular among the IL sur
vivors of his regiment, who are left in
Ohio, and he has been elected to the
highest positions at their reunions,
which are held every year, the last oc-
curing in Columbus, o., in early May,
this year under the guidance of Capt.
Smith, of Newark.
Mr.. Hanover, says the Cincin-
natl Commercial, attracts attention
wherever he goes on account of his
long hair. One is impressed with his
pride of it on sight, as the manner in
which he wears it suggests the way
he cares for it. 1t may be said that
there is no lady who is prouder of her
growth of hair than Mr.. Hanover is of
his, and none takes more care of it than
he does. For a man 20 years of age his
growth of hair is considered one of the
most remarkable things known. He
keeps the ends trimmed nicely, and says
that he will have it cut off when there
is a prohibition president elected in the
United States-the same statement
made in his family for generations past.
He is good citizen and an Industrious,
honest man. He is in the best of
health and says he attributes his
strength to his growth of hair, and be-
lieyes devoutly in the Biblical story
that Samson's strength Law in his hair.

PROHIBITION PLEDGE.
Waiting an Exceptionally Long
Time for Haircut
Strange Family Resolution Faith
fully Kept sy John Hanover,
of Delaware, Oils Record
as q Soldier.

John Hanover, one of the best-known
residents of Delaware, o., carries out
a trait in the chain of relationship in
his family which dates back many
years, starting in the time of his great
grandfather. The Hanovers are people
of strong ideas, and when they settle
en- one point which is a matter that
they regard as right, they adhere to 1t,
regardless of the opinion of the public
and even the consequences. This Pc
culiarity, which has passed down from
one generation to another, is the pledge
that none of the male portion of the
family shall ever cut their hair until the
time arrives when the United States
shall have elected to the presidential
chair member of the prohibition party.
John Hanover, the grandfather. after
whom the subject of the sketch was
named, was one of the old-time Bap-
fist ministers of Ohio, and was probably
the most active member of that belief
in his day. He preached to the people
of that inclination in large assemblies,
where Columbus, Newark. Johnstown
Westerville, Worthington and Della
ware now stand. He wore his hair in
large braids until they reached his belt
line. So has John Hanover, until age is
depriving him of the pride of his life.
He was born on December 10, 1927,
thus making him 20 years of age. His
hair hangs in long waves to the second
button of the Prince Albert coat which
he generally wears. He lived in his
home county until he was 10 years old,
and then moved to Columbus, o., where
he lived for 16 years. He enlisted in the
Second Ohio Montgomery guards, un-
der Gen. Morgan, which was raised"
by Capt. Walker, late of Mount Vernon,
o. Off to the Mexican war he went and
remained until six months later, when
he was survivor of few at the time

There is no ambition nobler than that of
he Woodworking farmer. He tolls early and
late to secure for himself and his family
that most lasting of fortunes, an allotment

living in assured comfort and contentment,
upon the lands acquired by their forefathers
300 years ago.
