Tho Win rcu vOhlo; Trlhutio says: Tho
simplicity of manners which makes Goy.
Hayes and family so popular with tho pen
plo Is well Illustrated by an Incident that
occurtcd In lsVl. Colonel Hayes was
then lu camp with his teglmcnt at Char
lestpwii, West Virginia. Whllo thcro Mrs.
Hayes visited her husband and mndo a
short sojourn in Camp.
James I'arkcr, of Mufopotr.mln, Train
bull county, was a good-natured, jolly
bov " lu ono of tho companies ot Hayes'
regiment. Soon alter .Mrs. Hayes' arrival
and before It was known to all tho boys,
Parker was exproislnj: his regtets to some
of his conundes that there was no one to
mend bU blotno nud put pockets In It.
One of them replied: "Why, .Mm, why
don't you tako it to tho woman who does
tho (owing for tho regiment and get her to
ilx ll!"' "I didn't know there was such a
woman. Whero Is she?" (wked Parker.
"Sim's up In tho colonel's tent," said his
comrade, ''and If you tako your blotno up
there she'll mend It for you. That's what
she's theio tor.
Tho unsophisticated I'arkcr nt onco
started for tho Colonel's tent, blou-o hi
hand. Col. Hayes politely returned bis
salute. Invited him in, and Inquired what
ho wanted. Ho tcpllcd that ho wanted
his blottfo mended and pockets put iu It,
nnd that ho understood, tbero rvas a wo
man there to do suwlng tor tho regiment.
Tho Colonel took In tho sluatlon ntnucn.
With n merry twhikloln his oyos ho called
to Mrs. Hiiyei and inked her "II sho could
llx the soldier's blouse. She piomptlv ac
cepted the job nnd told Parker to call for
it In tho alternoou.
When I'atkor returned to his rom
rades they wero looking out for some
tint. 'Mvhero's vonr blouse i" they
aked. "Why, ) lelt It with tho
woman to bo Used," said Parker. And
when, lu nnswer to their lurtlicr question
big, bo told them bow tho Colonel received
him and how kindly tho woman under
took tho Job nt Uxlng bis bloiwi, tho boys
could hardly tell whether tho ioko was on
Jim or on themselves; and when later In
the day, Parker appeared with his blotuo
neatly mended nud two amplo pockets In
It, ho was the hero of bis coinpnuy.
