Congressman Moody's Story.
(Washington Post,)

There is something peculiar about
the deer on the Balsam mountains in
North Carolina for miles around Mount
Pisgah," said Mr.. James Montraville
Moody. of Waynesville. a stalwart Tar
Heel, now serving his first term. When
a hunter rouses UP an old buck anywhere
in the vicinity of Mr.. George Wander
bits hunting preserves, that old buck,
after circling around for while, will
take a bee line as soon as the chase be-
comes at all interesting, for the Wander
bit boundary"
Those deer have been over there
before and remember that they had a
quiet place to sleep on the Wander
bilt acres without being disturbed" put
in Colonel Dick Plunkett, of Indian Ter
ditory.
Not at all" RESUMED Mr., Moody.
But men and deer up in that section
know that George Vanderbilt has thou
sands of acres. guarded by his patrols,
where deer and other game are pro-
tccted for the special pleasure of the
owner and his friends. When the hounds
reach the line of the Vanderbilt park
on Mt. Pisgah they are stopped and the
deer that fles thither finds a house of
refuge. They know the location of the
park as unerringly as the most expert
enccd woodsman. 1t seems as though
the deer tell each other about it. When
the hunters start their dogs on trail
they try to point the deer in the oppo-
site direction from this haven"
Mr.. Moody was telling this in connec-
tion with some explanation of the work
for great Appalachian Park, in which
he is nightly interested and which he
is urging Congress- to appropriate money
for Mr.. Moody is one of the three of
that name now in the House-the family
being almost as numerous there as the
Smiths-and he comes with no little ex-
perience of Washington and Legislative
methods. AS fine a specimen of noun
taineer as one would find in a days
travel. he has come to the front by SER
vice on the bench. in the State Senate,
and on the tented field having been an
officer on Major General Keifer's staff
during the Spanish American war.

Wilmington, n. c., Jan. 1S.-The

Orphans Home in Need.

To the Editor; The January issue OF
"Our Fatherless Ones" contains the fol-
lowing.
On the night of December 23rd the
laundry building of the Orphans Home
was entirely destroyed by fire. Owing to
previous severe weather, an accumula-
tion of two changes of clothing for 40
children was also destroyed making
loss to the institution Of about one
thousand dollars. with no insurance.
The inconvenience arising from losing
table and bed linen towels and clothing
for so large number will be very great.
The superintendent asks that dona-
tions of clothing, table cloths, sheets,
pillow cases, or materials of any kind
that can be used to replace the lost gar
ments and supplies-be sent as rapidly
as POSSIBLE. which is absolutely necessary
for the comfort Of the children. Money
is also needed to furnish additional cots,
bath tubs laundry machinery, and to re-
place the building.
The Presbyterians of the State are able
and will no doubt be willing to repair
damages promptly.
