Heavy Editorial,

Alexander H. Stephens, vice presi-
dent Of the Southern Confederacy,
who after the Civil war was repeated
ly elected to congress from Georgia,
was an exceedingly thin man. One day
there fell under his observation news
paper item saying that he weighed 90
pounds. In reply to this he wrote a
letter to the editor of the offending
Journal demanding an immediate re-
traction. Il win not be slandered In
this manner" he protested, my
weight is 94 pounds" The former vice
president was himself an editor, with
a habit of writing very long articles for
his paper In Georgia, and the contem-
porary which had made the unwelcome
statement regarding his weight refused
to retract 1t for the reason, he said,
that Mr.. Stephens must have had one
of his editorials In his pocket when
he last tried the scales. This would
account for the difference Of four
pounds between the two figures"
