TOUCHED TAYLoRs HEART.
A Convict's Gift of a Fiddle Got Him
the Govern : Pardon.
CNew orleans y. s--Democrat.)

CDSew Orleans = - ss-Democrat.)
THAT reminds me of good story in
which Bob Taylor. thri governor of
Tennessee, figured" said a listener,
and it is. in my judgment, one of the
prettiest and most pathetic stories con-
nected with the life of this prince of
humdnitarianS. 1t was during Bob
Taylor's second term as governor. The
governor is noted for his devotion to
the fiddle. as he prefers to call it, and
he has immortalized this old instrument
in his celebrated lecture on The Fid-
crest bits of poetic flight in the lecture
is a rustic skit which he devOtes to
his favorite musical instrument. The
governor is never happier than when he
is saving some old tune of the noun
tains of Tennessee out of the violin.
1t has been said of him that he fiddled
| his way to fame. but 1 would prefer to
say that he fiddled his way into the
hearts of his cOuntrymen. It was on
the first Christmas day OF Governor
| Taylor's second term that n man
walked into the big stone building on
Capitol hill at Nashville with a bundle
in his hand. The governor was laugh
ing and joking with a party of friends
Hello. a bottle of rye, l guess he
said, with his lips jovially pouting in
! the characteristic way. and then he
unwrapped the package. and a plain,
unvarnished fiddle prettily ca rved WAS
| disclosed. and there was a note with
! it. The governors expression changed
! as he read the note; his cOuntenance
/ took on a melancholy cast and a tear
/ or two stole down his cheeks. The note
/ was from a convict. who had made
/ the fiddle for the governor while con-
| fined in the walls of the penitentiary.
! The convict was a fiddler. too, and in
/ the note he told the governor he hoped
/ he would sit around the hearthstone in
/ the evening with his own sweet fam
! lily and play. as he would play IL he
We're at home with his wife and babies
/ The governor called for pardon
! blank. and in a few minutes he had
/ hlled out a pardon which gave the man
/ his liberty. Tell him the governor
says he may spend the balance of the
| holidays with his wife and babies said
! the kind hearted executive. as he
I turned to the man who had brought
| him the fiddle and the note and tel
| him. too. that the governor will see
that he gets back to his home And
| so he did, and that evening the gov
| ernor gathered with his own sweet
wife and babies around the hearth
stone and ground out the old melodies
| which he had learned N his boyhood
| days in the mountains. And the mex
night the convict was with his family
| fddling and weeping. and remembering
affectionateiy the good governor.
