An examlnnllon of the details of his life, however, and of tbe circumstances under which W hittier wrote his poem, lead to the conclusion that the Ne braskan and tbe barefoot boy could not have been one nnd the same person. This preacher state« that lie came to America from the old country In IN02.

II Is a matter of record that W hittier edited the Middle sex Standard for six months, starting In Hie fall of 1815, nearly twenty years before tbe preacher ever saw the shores of this country.

H A NKIE and Johnny were lov r era*' goes a fam iliar song, and few of Its many singers perhaps know that Frankie and Johnny were real lovers, who lived in the negro section of 81.

Frankie beraelf Is not prone to dis cuss bow she "got her man who done ber wrong," but tbe facte of the «wee may be dug up out of varloue police, morgue and hospital records and shaped Into a readable If sordid tale. Allen Britt, later Albert and »till later Johnny, came to BI. Louie with hla parents In 1801, and there, at an Orange Blossom ball In Stole’s hall at Thirteenth and Biddle streets, met Frankie Raker, handsome but ten years his senior, and formed for ber bis fatal attachment. One night Frankie found Johnny In the III lighted hallway of the I ’hoenlx hotel lavlahlngly on a pretty negress named Alice I'ryor the attentions she claimed exclusively as her own. look him home, and as tbe climax of a violent quarrel which lasted all night shot him with his own gun Just as he wns advancing on her with a drawn knife. Fatally wounded, Johnny stag gered to his own home where hts father called (he police and his mother an ambulance to take him to the hos pital. He died four days later and hla funeral was a gala affair, well at tended. Almost Immediately after, the wretched affair was being cele brated In song, and Frankie, freed of the toile of the law, bore herself with the pride of a wrong well avenged. • • • P R IN C E C H A R M IN G O. LADIES have never actually worn glass gllpitera. Bui tbe Cin derella theme, Ibe story of tbe down trodden heroine to whom at last baa come a Prince Charming nnd bliss for ever, has become so deeply Imbedded In our literature, and In our very hearts, that we are scarcely surprised to find It founded on a real hap pening. About 1780 a talented and wealthy French actor, named Thevenard. then a man over sixty, wandering about the streets of Paris, observed upon a cobbler's stall awaiting repair a wom an's slipper. So dainty was It, nnd of such grace, that Thevenard wns Struck with admiration and curiosity about Its owner, nnd a sort of fascination which would not lenve him, even after he hnd returned home and several days had passed. Unable to free him self from hla uncanny Interest, he at length returned to the cobbler’s stall, but could gain from him no clew as to the slipper's owner. Days passed, nnd that worn little allpper became an ohesslnn with the great man. Again nnd again. Irri tated by hla own folly but nn.ihle to do otherwise, -be returned to the stall and watched the cobbler as he worked upon the tiny shoe, always hoping In vnin that the owner would appear. She appeared only when the shoe wns done, nnd proved to be a charming girl enough, but of the poorest nnd humblest class, nut since this was a real fairy tale, thnt mnde not the slightest difference, and thia Prince Charming nnd hla Cinderella were m.irrled nnd lived happily ever after.

Which tire will you buy at the same low price? W h y do you suppose that Goodyear Tires lead all others in public prefer ence by better than tw o to one? W h y d o y o u »upp oae th a t m ore people ride on G oodyear Tires than on any other kind — and have for 17 years? T h ese tires must be f i r s t - c h o ic e because th ey ’re better. T h ey m ust outsell all other tires in the world because they outrun them on the road. On a straight quality basis, then, it certainly looks like com m on sense to buy f ir st - c hoice tires. W hich brings up the question, “ h ow about price?” Most o f the best things on the market naturally cost m ore than the second- raters. But here’s the amazing fact about tires: You can get the safety, the quality, the extra life and trouble-free mile age of the w orld’s greatest tire at uo extra cost. Think that over w h en som eone tries to high-pressure y o u into buying an unk now n or doubtful bargain. Just ask him this simple question: “ W h y should I pay good m oney for a n y second-choice tir e w h e n f i r s t - choice costs no m ore?” T U N E IN on the Goodyear Program «vary Wednesday night oyer N .B .C .

In 1603, Champlain landed at Ta doussac and made his disastrous treaty with the Algonquins, thus In curring the enmity of the warlike Iroquois, and In the same year the oldest church In America, the T a doussac Indian chapel, was erected. On the site of the first church a tiny chapel still stands and the bell, which three centuries ago called the converted Indians to mass, still rings out from the chapel belfry. In 1661, the Iroquois sacked the village, leaving standing only the church, which their superstition prompted them to leave unmolested and for a time Tadoussac was a de serted village. In the meantime, explorers had pressed onward and In the search for new worlds this beauty spot on the lower river was neglected. Great cities sprang up throughout the Do minion and Tadoussac remained n tiny village Important today only for Its historical Interest nnd Its sum mer resort fame. Once the scene of great historical events, peaceful and warlike, Tadoussac today submits each summer to a peaceful Invasion as visitors arrive by steamer and by car to rest and play In this oldest settlement on the continent. Woman’s Chief Charms Not to Be Purchased The mouth is a photograph of the disposition. Someone has said that we are not responsible for tbe dispo sition we are born with, but we are responsible for the one that we din with. I t Is the same with the mouth. The sweetness and kissableneas and dearness of a baby's mouth are not dependent on the shape or size. Baby’s mouth Is sweet because his soul Is sweet No brand of lipstick, nor any artist in its use. can camou flage a sour mouth and make even a casual observer believe It Is sweet Then there Is the eye, which the contents of the vtfnlty case cannot change. "The eye la the window of the soul.” You can buy something that w ill lengthen the fringe on the curtains to your soul-windows, you can change the cut of the lambre quins above, but you can't keep peo ple from looking In sometimes, un less you pull the shades down alto gether and put yourself In darkness. No vanity case, not even a whole drug store or beauty shop, can make attractive the windows out of which looks a quarrelsome, envlrus soul. Keep sweet within. If you want to get full value from your vanity case. —Nellie S. Russell In the Farm Journal. The oldest white settlement In America, and once tbe center of the American fu r trade, the quaint little French Canadian village of Tadous sac, on the lower S t Lawrence riv er, Is today a quiet Canadian sum mer resort. Nestling among the foothills of the blue-capped Laurentlan mountains at the Junction of the St. Lawrence and Saguena rivers, the village Itself Is still living In the past, the nat ural beauty of Its surroundings and the quaintness of Its people attract ing each summer a Inrge number of holldayers who are seeking to leave behind the rush and bustle of mod ern life. Woven around Tadoussac Is a long and romantic history. Here Jacques Cartier, the first explorer of New France, landed In the summer of IM S, nnd there are numerous tales of visits by those fierce sea rovers, ♦he Vikings, at a much earlier date.
