The longest foot OF measure is that

There was time when not only each
country, but each town, had foot
measure of its own, indicating different
averages of the different feet in various
Loo alities.
Among tribe of low-staturo Indi-
ans, whose height varied from feet
inch to feet iuches the length Of

Hale and Harty at the Age or 115.

A widow of Revolutionary soldier
IS still living in the beautiful and pic
tures4ue country of Valley River, in
Western North Carolina, ut the ad-
vanced age OF 115 years The old
lady, whose name is Elizabeth Boston.
is hale and hearty and bids fair to live
q few years yet.
She stated, in a recent talk with the
writer, that she was six years old when
the battle of Kings Mountain was
fought Q780). Her husband was
wounded in that historic combat.
She talks very intelligentIy, at times,
in regard to the struggle for national
Independence. She remembers seeing
the Red Goats" rs she calls them. and
also remembers the time when the
patriots -mada mp n company in. .hSr
living iii6h WITH her f. aefsSsiar=R r=ReRfdAh aahAa4hsl
had three children, one of whom is
still living. The old lady has lost her
eyesight almost entirely, but can
recognize the voices of persons with
whom she is acquainted. Her husband
has long since passed over to the silent
ma: ::ority.
The old lady has always led very
Industrious life, until her advancing
age has left her without much endur-
ance. She is still able to walk about
the house by the aid of holding to the
chairs, and whatever she can reach to
steady her. She has always been very
regular in her habits.
