New Fac rjr Collector*.
Americans are collectors of a gDod
many things from buttons and postage
stamps to costly works of art, but so
far as known none of them malffts a
specialty of locks of hair. It is dif¬
ferent in England, remarks the In¬
dianapolis Star. Recently a lock of
Napoleon’s hair was offered at auction
and brought $80. It had been given
by Napoleon’s valet to the captain of
ihe British company on guard at St.
Helena at the time of the emperor’s
death, and had been in his own pos¬
session and that of his descendants
since the event.
The very next day among the effects
of a recently deceased admirer of Ad¬
miral Nelson being offered for sale
was a lobk of the British admiral’s
hair. It went for $75. It came orig¬
inally from a barber shop on Bond
street, where it was then, and still is,
the custom to preserve and tag the
clippings from the heads of illustrious
customers. The continuance of the
fashion as well as the auction sales
indicates the existence of a demand
Cor such relics in England. The
preservation of such locks for com¬
mercial purposes is a point American
barbers missed, probably because there
is no demand, for since the wearing
by women of brooches containing
locks of hair went out of fashion it
is not known that “human documents”
of this sort are treasured, at least in
collections. Certainly they would hard¬
ly bring much at auction.
The Ways of Children.
Nothing can stagger a child’s faith;
he aco*pts the clumsiest substitutes
and can swallow the most staring in¬
congruities. The chair he has just
been besieging as a castle or valiantly
cutting to the ground us a dragon, is
taken away for the accommodation
of a morning visitor and he Is nothing
abashed; he can skirmish by the hour
with a stationary coal scuttle; in the
inidst of the enchanted pleasance he
can see without sensible shock the
gardener soberly digging potatoes for
the day’s dinner. He can make ab¬
straction of whatever does not fit into
his fable. . . . And so it is that
although the ways of children cross
with those of their elders in a hun¬
dred places daily, they never go in
the same direction nor so much as lie
in the same element. So may the tel¬
egraph wires intersect the line of the
highroad, or so might a landscape
painter and a bagman visit the same
country, and yet move in different
worlds.—R. L. Stevenson.

Times Have Changed.
There was recently discovered, in
the archives of Winchester, England,
in the old Winchester Coffer Book, the
following entry: "1025, 30th December.
Taken from the cofer thirty shillings
for the apparalling of six poor boys
(hat went to Virginia.” These must
truly have been the “good old days,”
before people were bothered about the
cost of living. One cannot help won¬
dering wiiat the descendants, of these
six adventurers going to America
would think, if they were given only
live shillings and told to go and buy
themselves an outfit today.
His Answer Ready.
“I wouldn’t want to be rude to a
young lady,” said he.
"Well?”
“But if any queen should propose
to me during 1920 just because, it's
leap year I’m going to tell her to back
away and take a good look at the cost
of living.”
For Accuracy.
He—D’you know, May. you grow
more beautiful every day.
She—Oh. George, you do exaggerate.
He—Well, then, should I say every
other day?

QOME Thornhill owners constantly V
O comment on the ease with which the v ^' xpj

to the full circle iron. The ordinary circle is but a
half circle ( \_/). In making a sharp turn bolsters 1
often run to the erd of the t ack and become
“derailed.” Thornhills cann >t do this because
their track is a circle (O )•
Others comment on the fact that in spite of tre¬
mendous overloads, Thornhill a; 'S never break.
The reason for this is plain. i hey use tough
highland hickory—reinforced bv a steel truss bar
that relieves the king bolt of strain.
To others the amazing feature is the long life of
Thornhill beds—due to their location which gives
them the pick of the yearly cutting of wood and
due, in part, to the fact that they paint with pure
lead and linseed oil despite its high cost.
Thousands of owners have found in Thornhills
unusual strength where they are accustomed to
weakness.
