At the Evans home he met Miss
Alice. in the first bloom of young
womanhood Her charms took him
by storm. Miss Evans says she never
encouraged his attentions. but he per
sisted in forcing them upon her.
When Everington left he endeavored
to renew his courtship by correspond
ence. Boxes of candy found their way
to Miss Evans. Tender mssives also
were frequent To the letters Miss
Evans sent no reply. Receipt of some
of the candy was acknowledged by
postal.
Recently Miss Evans came to Mem
phis and entered a business college.

JOHN BARRETT A REAL HERO
Sixty-FiVe Years Old and Reduced to

He Refuses to Utter Word
Of Complaint.

Washngton.-B John Barrett,
Job was an irritable and complaining
person.
Frowned on by fortune, but followed
closely by misfortune all his life, tried
as few men have been tried. his faith
never has wavered, and although he
has been followed by a fate relentless
and memorable since the time he slept
in a little wooden cradle in an old
Connecticut farm house 60 years ago
the star of hope shines as brightly for
him to-day as It did when he was a
youth of 90
What's the use of complaining?
he says, and the simple philosophy ex-
presses a depth of patience and infin-
tie fortitude.
Although driven to condition
where he offered to sell his body for
$50, when he saw dire want staring
him i'm the face, John Barrett uttered
no complaint. He simply accepts
things as they are. He gets along as
best he can, and when the worst comes
to worst he just bows his venerable
head and says: 1T might be worse
there's no use of complaining" On
his mild and gentle face there is a
smile of resignation. He may not have
had a bountiful breakfast, but you
never would suspect 1t. The gentle
smile is always present.
He is too i'll to work now, but with
that well-spring of hone that Is with
in him ever bubbling, he feels that
soon the tide will change. that he may
be able to start some little business,
or that when congress convenes next

congressman may aid him TO secure
