In the old days when the world was much better than It la now, there were good watermelons. As we remember them the water melons of twenty-five, thirty or thlr-ry-flve years ago were hug affairs. They were none of your overgrown 'ucumber effects of to-day, but were treat big round fellowa, and the out Mde was a dark green..

Former Feudist Visits "Cap" Hat field, Ills Father. niehmond, Va. "Devil Anae" Hat Held is once again In the moun tains of West Virginia, after an ab Fenco of years. Nineteen years ago James Hatfield, Jr., better known as "Devil Anse," was recognized throughout the mountains of West Virginia and Kentucky as on of the quickest and surest Rhots In the Hat field faction, when he left West Vir ginia for the plains of Minnesota. "Devil Anse" is highly respected In the community In which he lives. Few In that section know of his past life or of the exploits of himself and his kinamrn In their family war fare. He Is on a vlnit to his father, "Cap" Hatfield, leader of the Hat field, leador of the Hatfleld clan, who Is 90 years of age and very feeble. After spending some time at his old home It Is the purpose of "Devil Anse" to return to the wheat fields. "West Virginia Is no longer like home to me." he says, "many, lives were lost during the war between the two families. The Hatfleld-Mc-Coy fued, known throughout the world for the ferocity with which it was waged, started in Floyd County nearly forty years ago and extended over a dozen counties in the two States. Twenty years ago I grew tired of the eternal strife and blood shed and went West." John McCoy was the bead of the McCoy family, of which there were fifteen children. Only one survives. "Cap" Hatfield was the father of thirteen children, of which number eleven were killed, the only two now alive being "Devil Anse" and a girl. A mountain romance concerns it self with the McCoy who survived and the Hatfleld girl. The two were about the same age. One day they met on a mountain trail. Later the little community in the hills was startled to learn that the two had eloped and that they had been mar ried by a mountain preacher. This ended the feud. The couple are hap py. They live In a pretty little wood. ed glen in the West Virginia hills, surrounded by growing boys and girls carrying In their veins the fused blood of the two old fighting fami lies. s At times the feud of former days reached such proportions that State troops had to be called out. The trouble affected even the cousins of the two sides. Innocent women and children were shot like rabbits in the fields. In one Instance two mem bers of ono of tho clans, both mere boys, were tied to trees and burned to death. The Specialist There are evident advaniam In specializing.

Buui tia ltie Kind You Have Always 1 smmim PRESIDENT'S TOM GINNED Eighteen-Pound Champion 'Possum was Caught In Ceorgla for the Taft Party. Atlanta, Ga. The news that a 20- pound 'possum was surrounded and captured by Worth county hunters for the Taft dinner has stirred up a 44 pound doubt in the region about Fol soiu's restaurant, where the 18-pound, genuine, dyed-ln-the-wool 'possum la on exhibition in a window. "We still hold Dig Hill as the chain plon 'possum," said Colonel Folsoin. "Down hero we are from Missouri, and If any hunters have got anything in the 'possum line heavier than 18 pounds they have got to show us Then we will willingly yield the belt and order an extra large baking pan for their product." "You think then there is a mistake about the weight of the onu they have caught?" he was asked. "I think," replied the colonel, very deliberately and w ith a touch of Irony In his tone, "I think those fellow have caught a cinnamon bear and will try to substitute him for our 'pos sum." Several other parties are trying for the honor of furnishing the biggest 'possum for the dinner, uluce it has been informally agreed that the big gest shall be made Into a special dish for tho President-elect. Up to date, however, the Folsom tall-fed urtlcle is the largest tangible possum in sight, and those who ex- pect to beat him must bring up a wonder. WIDOW'S LOVE VERY COSTLY.'

The Maid of Saragossa. Saragossa, Spain. The unveiling of a monument here by King Alfonso in memory of Augustlna de Aragon re calls to mind the exploit of the Span ish girl whose valor Byron celebrated in "Chllde Harold." During the Peninsular war, when the city was besieged by the French, the Maid of Saragossa carried food to the soldiers who were defending the batteries. She arrived Just in time one day to see the last gunner fall, and seizing the match from his hand fired the gun herself. Then she ral lied the Spanish soldiers, and leading them to the charge drove the French from the gate which they were on the point of capturing. After the siege was over a pension was granted Augustlna and the daily pay of an artilleryman, with the right to wear on her sleeve the embroider ed shield of the city of Saragossa.
