were lew, ue-iug at me af.e i -i-
years taken irtm chocl to serve in
a cojntrj' store, of general merchan

The master had not been unmindful
-yf the boy's service, and his sterling
integrity, ard in an article written
;by request for the Tennesse Hs;oric3
Society, and published in the His
icrlcal Magazine, Mr. Howard gives
this modest and intere4ling account
of his next step toward independ

important work. Sometimes le had
scant chance for either eating or
sleeping; but his wages (there were
no "salaries" in htcse- days) grew
from ?75 to 180 a year.
Removal to Tennessee.
About that time Dr. Thomas Hunt,
an uncle, who had forced a patner
uip with Samuel D"ckens for locat
ing laad warrants in West -Tee-ate,
then known as the forked Deer
couatry, having in mind a capable
and trustworthy assistant, ofterod

which was accepted and the young
pioneer, the builder of old W omens
homes, and foundation layer of. great
enterprises pitched his tent in the
Chickasaw country of Tennessee. It
in a testimonial to his worth that
his former employers offered him the,
s-ame. compensation to remain in the-
service, but the linger of Destiny
pointed a different course, and in a

The Old Natchez Trail.
In the year 1S20, going west
Nashville, the party stopped a
from
Itey-
roidsbnrg, on the Tennessee, to pur
chase cuo-th ror a ieiu.
The campaign began on the old Nat
chez road, the most fascinating sec
tion in all the history . of the Ten
i.essee. Here were procured deer
skins for leggins, to protect the men
from snakes, briars, prickly pear and
ether torments of the wilderness. ,
It was on thds trip that Mr. Dick-
fens Ken Ul of a fever,
ana the
men stopped and built a log nut, iu
xl2 feet, and covered: with boards,
where for two weeks, Mr. Howard in
his story declares they had a "dole
ful time" of it. The sick man on re
covering l?ft the w-oods, never to en
ter upon that feature of the work
again and relegating the sanie to
joung Howard, who with two pack
men, proceeded on foot to the coun
try of the Forked Deer and the Big
Katehie. .The. party worked west
and south until within sixteen miles
of Memphis near the point where Fan
nv Wright located a settlement which
she named Nashoba (wolf), and there
they vent for provasions.
Tennessee Takes a Hand.
About 1S22 a new- partnership was
formed with John C. MeI,ernore. Su
gars McLemore and Samuel Dickens.
The company located more than 3
hundred Mid fifty thousnad acres of
land wiarrants, mere than a hundred
housand of them being escheaii-d
claims.
But here the Legislature cf Tennes
see took a Land in the business ami
re;u--ed permissicn for the claims to
b- entered : nless her own colleges
should come in for a share with the
University of North Carolina. By
this action a compromise was effect
ed by which the Cumberland College
got about thirty-five and the East
Tennessee about, twenty-five per
cent.
So we find that as far back as 1822
Mr. Howard was incidentally source
of revenue for the educational insti
tutions of Tennessee.
He followed the wilderness work
for some sixteen years, and during
much of tbat time had access to nei
ther hooks nor newspapers. In his
account of his adyentures in the spar
eely settled country he states an
amusing reason given by the Indians
why they wcxstld not live 4n West
Tennessee; "It leaked too much,"
declared the- savages.
Donations and Charities.
Mr. Howard was a man of great pux
ity of character and manly upright
ness. He had quiet, meditative
moods
was exact in business deal
ings as well as in social life, of so
fine training that even i old age,
wnen past eighty, his manuscripts
are said to have been faultlessly pre
pared and absolutely perfect.
He died in Philadelphia in lS87.His
benefactions to the City of Nashvil
le were as fodows: To the Howard
library $15,010; the old Woman's
Home, about $11,000; substantial be
quests to the Howard School Library
F sk University; $4,000; Tennessee
Historical Society, $4,000; Florence
Crittenden Home $8,000. In 1859 he
gave to the City of Nashvillfe the val
uable lot on which is located the Ho
ward School, now valued at $25,000.
He was a member of the Board of Et
ucation in 1854-1 8C0. 1SG1-1SC3.
A man of large sympathies, and
broad philanthropy.it is a just tribute

Battersby came across this interest
ing item in the household department:
"If men would ' answer their wives
kindly and courteously when asked
for money It is undoubtedly true that
the amount requested would not be
ialf as much as it would be if the
husband's reply was surly and antag
onistic." Battersby read this item over twice
to make sure he grasped its meaning,
and just then his wife entered the
room.
"George." she said. "1 want some
money."
Battersby smiled affably.
"Yes. my dear." lie pleasantly re
marked, "and how much do you
want?"
Mr. Battersby stared at him in
amazement.
"1 said I wanted some money."
This time she spoke with much dis
tinctness. "And I asked you how much you
wanted." Battersby merrily reminded
her.
"Fifty dollars!" she snapped.
Battersby almost fainted. He had
imagined she was after $5 and that
bis genial tone would cut the amount
to $L50.
But he "handed over the fifty with
out further ado and then tore the
misleading item into infinitesimal
fragments. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

comfortably round my feet and com

Natural niummiheatiou, the chang
ing of (be human body into a dried
condition without artificial treatment,
is an extremely rare pheuomeuon. In
a -ase reported by Hon. S. YVolffsohn
of British Honduras, a middle aged
cooly who disappeared between Jan
uary and March, 1JXJ7, was found-more
than a year afterward, on May C. 1908,
in a corrugated iron hut as a perfect
ly preserved mummy. The hut, in a
somewhat isolated spot at Sibuu, was
raised on blocks four or five feet above
the ground and had a door and three
shutters, one shutter being opeu. while
one had fallen out. 'The body was
clothed iu a cotton underskirt, dark
jersey and duck trousers, two pieces
of rope around the neck proving self
strangulation. The desiccation seem
ed to have been favored by a combina
tion of conditions, the season having
been extrao rdinarily dry and the small
iron house excessively hot. though well
ventilated, while the body was thin
and attenuated as a result of mental
disorder.
Turn About.
A young Kuglish student late one
cold and wintry night found the door
of his college locked against him. The
young man outside argued with the
doorkeeper inside, cajoled and entreat
ed, but to no avail. Eventually he
slipped half a sovereign under the door
and was admitted. It was a financial
deal wisely thought out on strict busi
ness lines. Once inside, he informed
the janitor (falsely) that, unfortunate
ly, after taking the half sovereign out
of his purse he had dropped the purs
itself on the doorstep. The attendant
went out to secure it, but once on the
chilly, wet doorstep the door was slam
med. Then the deal was repeated, for
the shivering mercenary was not al
lowed into his warm abode until he
had slipped the half sovereign back
again.

PICNIC AT PROVIDENCE.
Folks Have Great Time and a Visi
tor Gives am Account of the Jolly
and Festive Occsaion.
The Annual Picnic that is held at
Providence, a thrifty little village
situated on the Southern Road, also
iear the Tar River, between Oxford
and Durham, was held Baster Monday
and was attended by six or seven hui
dred people. The big hearted far
mers all look forward from one year
to the next to the pleasure of this
great gathering of her people. Bach
one will prepare and take care of
something good to eat, such as rais
ing of spring chickens etc.as the pic
ric is held on Baster of each year.
The farmers' wives have to be very
attentive to their little "biddies"
in various ways, to get them ready
for this occasion. They first have
the cold weather.then the great de
stroyer and enemy of the chicken.
The hawk, that seems to be very hun
gry at this season of the year. How
ever, when the hour for -dinner is an
nounced, the many well-filled bask
ets are taken to a place preparedfor
thissumptious meal, consisting of bar
becue spring fried chicken and other
edibles of the season is spread be
fore the people, who have by this
hour created a good appetite by fish
ing, walKing and driving. As they
were enjoying the mea you would
hear a remark, "help yourselves, and
eat a plenty for we will be too tired
to prepare supper on our arrival horn
The object of the gathering of this
crowd of people yearly seems to be
the pleasure of mooting each other
and discuss what has happened since
they last met. Also which farmer
has ths largest tobacco plants and
se most oi .'i-em. Tne wiw-s will
talk of how many chickens they have
raised through the winter, also about
the gardens jthey have recently plant
ed etc. Then comes the pleasure cf

writer overheard some one of the
young married couples remark they

One more word and I am through.
Would it not be a wise act to place
