Special Dispatch TO The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO. October 1S.--
Persons possessing Il gloom complex
or those craving longevity, marital
felicity, a healthy digestion and no
ear of the hereafter are herewith in
gited to take a page from the book of
life of Uncle Howard" of Hazelhurst.
Miss.
'Uncle Howard" aged ninety-two.
an ex-slave, is here attending the ma
tional convention of the American Le-
gion. He is the official mascot of
Mississippi legionaires. and they are
proud of him, as he is of them.
Uncle Howard" is entitled to dis
tinction on at least a half dozen
counts. His proudest boast is that he
is the champion chicken stealer OF
the Confederate army. Also, he is
Americas premier convention attend
er, and wears more medals" Of the
baggage check, doE-icenSe and SOU
tenir variety than any living human.
He has been attending conventions
ever since the war between the states
ended and is still going strong.
Has LAT Grandchildren.
On matters of domestic relationship
Uncle Howard is well qualified to
speak. OF his ninety-two years sew
enty-six have been spent in the mar
ried state and he has survived five
wives, also he has sixteen children
and lat grandchildren. His advice
for attainment OF marital bliss is con-
fined to two tabloid "dont's."
"Doan nevah tell wimmen folks
they's got to do sumpin. AK 'em."
he says Also ''Doan nevah arGify
with woman. Tain't goin' t do
you no good"
Regarding Uncle Howard's hopes in
the hereafter, it Is eXemplified in his
diverse attachments. He Is declared
to be the best cocktail and mint julip
mixer in the state of Mississippi, and
at the same time and in the same
breath he Is deacon in the African
Baptist Church and an able choir
canter. He expects to get a pair of
wings when he crosses the river Jordan.
Plenty of Chicken.
Longevity is merely a matter of
getting the most enjoyment out of
that comes along, having
yelop, asserts Uncle Howard And
good digestion is contingent upon
plenty of fat pork and chicken. Pork,
he says, greases the liver and keeps
otherwise senile joints oiled up, while
white meat of chicken makes ener-
getic blood.
Uncle Howard was born in Port
Gibson, Miss. He served throughout
the war as body servant to his for
mer owner, who saw service under
both "Stonewali' Jackson and Gen.
Robert Z. Lee. His prowess as
champion chicken stealer of the con-
federacy is attested by documentary
evidence which he always carries
with him.
