Mammy Mary's Message.

In the course of her career, says
writer in Current Literature, Nanny
Mary had met many distinguished per
sons, but her own Importance as nurse
for three generations in the family of
General John Il. Gordon of Georgia
kept her from being overwhelmed by
the honor
When Mrs. Cleveland, during the sec
Ond term of her husbands presidency.
visited the GordOnS at the governors
mansion in Atlanta, she expressed Il
desire TO see Il genuine old negro MAN.
my. SO the carriage was htchcd up.
and Nanny Mary was sent for at
Sutherland, the Gordon country place.
which she preferred to the noise and
excitement of official life. When the
coachman drew up, he found her smok-
ing her evening pipe. Not step would
she stir.
"Shc done say" said the unsuccessful
envoy on his return to town, dat she
dom want to see no presidents; she
done see 'nough presidents"
Mrs Cleveland laughed heartily when
she heard this. Then she proposed to
90 to the mountain, since Mohammed
refused to bulge. ana the next day she
drove out to Sutherland.
Il am surprised, Nanny Mary" said
Mrs Gordon before introducing the dis
tinguishcd guest, that you sent such
a message You have never been i'm
polite before"
AN dat niger done tell what l say?
Well, he never did have no sense an

1t was dufin" the portion of hiS ca
rccr when re lived in the valley of the
south fork of the Fix Suntlower river
that Henry plymShlw, the inventor,
made his m"St notable invention. This
invention had to do with cyclones.
One afternoon Inventor Plymshaw
saw splendid specimen Of funnel
cyclone Gov ng over the prairie, and lie
called to ~, and said he would 20 out
and study it. since it was evident that
it was going to one side. The instant
the cyclone sighted us it came straight
in our direction. We weren't prepared
for this exactly. SO all we could do was
to run. We were just on the point of
giving up when Il most extraordinary
thing happened. Curious thing. Sort Of
natural too. And there it was. Only
one leg and that down fifty foot well
i'm the middle of n sheep pasture. If it
had had two legs. no doubt it could
have scrambled out, but 1t couldn't
make il with one. Couldn't do any
thing except revOlvc. And it did do
that never saw Il cyclone revolve like
that one. Mad apparently because it
had missed Plymshaw and me and got
caught. SO it just buzzed around like
top. Nothing ilfthc world to stop it.
Most mcn-merc men Of action
would have been satisfied at getting
away and not having to revOlve with
the houses and lots. but not Plymshaw
No. He got to thinking, and what was
the result? Put Il belt around the stem
of that cyclone just ut the top of the
well, set up Il dynamo, strung wire and
ran all the machinery and electric
lights in that part of the country. Reg
ular Niagara for power. Going yet.
Nothing to stop it. you see. Wonderful
