Couldn't Scare Root.

Postmaster General Payne is dem
onstrating his ability to pursue in.
vestigations in his own department,
but he is not above seeking advice
outside on difficult questions. Lately
the post Office authorities found that
certain woman in Chicago was
using the mails improperly, and after
report had been rendered the Post
master General issued a fraud order,
barring her letters from the mails.
This stirred the subject of the order.
She addressed pathetic appeal to
the Postmaster General, asking for
ia personal and private interview, at
which she might present her side of
the case. "I feel sure" the letter
ran, "that if / could get chance to
look you straight in your beautiful
brown eyes you would hear my
story"
Mr.. Payne was much impressed.
This sort of thing was rather an in
novation. Then he solemnly en-.
dorsed the letter:
"Respectfully referred to the Sec
retary of War for advice"
Rontine took it thro, ~ the regu-
lar channels, and, af. any days,
it returned again with Lis indorse-
ment:
"Risk one eye--Islihd Root" -"

An interesting story, showing how

men, on account of lockout, in
1887, the public was appealed to for
contributions. An old couple in
Jutland, having no money, sent in
their wedding rings as their humble
contribution, for the relief of the
starving people. The organization
kept the rings as a memcrso of this
kind act. Rece atty the old couple
celebrated their golden wedding
under very distressing circumstances.
They were actually starving. This
came to the knowledge of the Co

was organized and in few DAYS the

two new wedding rings, with d CRATE

baccalaureate sermon to the X. nj

pleasure and profit. His general
subject was character, and his phi.

The Governor and the Orphans.

Columbia State, June l {: The lit
tie ones who cau the Thornwell Or
phanage "home" have a tender re-
gard for the Governor of their State.
A pretty story is told by a gentle
man who was in Clinton recently, a
story which shows how easily and how
gracefully Governor Hayward makes
friends. On the occasion of the an
nual Sunday school celebration in
Clinton, Governor Hayward was the
invited orator, for DR.. Jacobs, the
leader in all good works in Clinton,
knew that the Governor had himself
been Sunday school superintend-
ent. The auditorium was filled to
overfowing and an even larger crowd
could not get in. For their benefit
Governor Hayward was asked to
make a talk out under the trees. The
visit to the Orphanage was more Of
pleasure to the Governor than to
the little ones, who were themselves
delighted, and in appreciation of the
pleasure given his little wards DR..
Jacobs thrust into the Governors
hand blank envelope just as the
latter was boarding the train on his
return to Columbia. The envel-
ope contained check covering the
Governors expenses. The great
hearted president of the Orphanage
was very much affected the follow
ing day when his own check was re-
turned and attached thereto was
contribution of substantial amount
signed by the Governor of the State.
The check, with the Governors au.
tograph, has been framed (after it
was cashed, of course,) and occupies
conspicuous place where it will re-
mind the motherless and fatherless
little ones of the visit of the Gov
ernOr,

a Boy OF Remarkable size.

The Rock Hill Herald gives a
description OF the most remarkable
boy in North Carolina as to size,
weight and strength. The home OF
this boy is in Curatuck county, North
Carolina, and the following measure
m9nts will give some idea as to the
size of this youthful giant: Three
fourths ora yard of cloth is required
to make the neck-band of a shirt for
him and four widths of cloth for his
pants. The waist band of his pants
measures 70 inches. 1t takes 81
yards of yard-wide goods to make
his shirt, and his shoes measure 13
inches in length. He is now in his
nineteenth year, is six feet three
inches high and when last weighed,
about two years ago, he pulled the
scales at 669 pounds, and has con-
tinued to grow and gain in flesh since
that time. He enjoys very good
health and seems to be about as
bright and intelligent as the average
boy. He has quick temper, is
easily angered and does not know
his strength. On one occasion he is
said to have hauled in stranded
boat to the shore that seven men had
failed to move. All his chairs and
bedsteads are made to order and
must be of the best material.
