I'ew presidents in the last fifty years have lived to see Ihree of their successors, and several have not seen two, though Pierce saw four. Although I lie average length of hu man life in the United. Slates is greater than it was when the repub lic was young, distinguished public men have hardly shared In the boon of lengthened days. The'presidency, Indeed, while never exactly what everyday folk call a soft snap, was a far less exacting oftleo in early times than It Is today. The Napoleon ic war ^ave Washington, the llrst Adams, Jefferson and Madison a good many trying hours, hut they all had tlieir periods of respite. Washington, whenever he happened to be as chief magistrate, managed to escape now and again to the spacious and dig nified quiet of Mount Vernon. John Adams, the first president to occu py the White HoVse at Washington, the domestic arrangements of which appeared ''impossible"- to his tlirlfty nnd orderly New lOngland wife, often returned to the quiet of his home at Quincy. Jefferson found repose at Monticello, and Jackson made the long journey to the Hermitage, where rest awaited his coming. All of the early presidents were safe from intrusive messages by tel egraph or telephone, and they re ceived mail in no masses as now dally pursue a president on vacation. lOven Polk could not, have been much dis turbed by the stammering words of Morse's new-langled messenger, for it was. publicly used for the first time in report'ir.: io eoiigress the result of the Domoeruiie national convention mi I'altimore in ISM.

It Is iutereMtlu# to note th:ii it la still the diatom among the Hindus mid other Asiatic races to flock periodically in the ureal markets during festival times. In the curly days of the church these celebrations were assigned to' the festival day of (he patron saint of the town In which they were held.

New Fad for Collectors. Americuns are collectors of h good many tilings from buttons and postage stumps to costly works of art, but ho far us known none of thorn makes a specialty of locks of hair. It Is dif ferent in England, remarks the In dianapolis Star. Kecently a lock of Napoleon's liuir was offered at auction and brought $80. It had been given t?y Napoleon's valet to the captain of the British company on guard at St. Helena at the time of the emperor's death, and had been In Ids own pos session and that of his descendants since the event.. The very next day among the effects of n recently deceased admire? of Ad miral Nelson being offered for sale was n lock of the British admiral's hair, \ It went for it came orig inally Yroi.ii a barber shop on Road street, where It was then, and still Is, the custom to preserve and tag the clippings from the head* of Illustrious customers. The continuance of the fashion as well as the auction sales Indicates the exlstehc?? of a demand for such relics In Kngland. The' preservation of such locks for com mercial purposes is a point American barber* missed, probably because there Is no demand, for since the wearing by women of- brooches containing locks of hair want' out of fashion It Is not known that "human documents" of this sort are treasured, at least in collections. <>rtninly they would hard ly bring much at auction. Ths Ways of Children.

WKI/SH, - Sheriff of Kershaw Con Merit In Tires for the Smaller Gars Such extraordinary competence and care fulness as are characteristic of all Goodyear manufacture likewise characterize Goodyear's bfeiilding of tires for the smaller cars. Only very unusual experience and endeavor make possible the high relative value built into the 30x3-, 30x3V2-, and 31x4'inch Goodyear Tires in our Plant No. 2, the world's largest factory devoted to these sizes. In addition to the larger sizes Goodyear builds, a daily production averaging 20,000 tires of these smaller sizes alone -makes them easily available, regardless of the big demand, to owners of Ford, Chevrolet, Dort, Max well, and other cars taking these sizes. If you are one of these owners, go to the nearest Goodyear Service Station Dealer for these tires, and for Goodyear Heavy Tourist Tubes.
