FACTS ABOUT PRESIDENTS

Frank o. Loveland. Clerk Of the
United States Circuit Court Of Appeals,
has been delving into history and has
gathered some interesting facts con.
corning the Presidents of the United
States. They are given herewith:
President Harrison, elected In 1910;
Lincoln. in 1860; Garfield. In 1880, and
Mckinley. in 1900, died in Office. Their
elections were precisely 20 years apart.
or the three Presidents assassinated
In Office two were born In and elected
Presidents from Ohio. The same State
has been the birthplace OF every Re-
publican elected President OF the Unit
ed States. except Lincoln. Three OF the
four Presidents from Ohio have died In
office.
or the twenty-five Presidents Of the
United States three States have fur.
nished more than one-half, and -four
States almost three-fourths OF them.
Virginia has furnished Ave Presi.
dents--Washington, jefferson. Madi-
son, Monroe and Tyler. The first foul
served two full terms each and on,
succeeded to the Presidency.
New York also furnished Ave Presi
dents-Van Buren,, Fillmore, Cleve
land. Arthur and Roosevelt. OF thes
three were elected Vice Presidents an,
succeeded to the Presidency upon IN
death OF the President elected.
Ohio has furnishd four Presidents
Harrison. Hayes. Garfield and McKin
ley. Each Of them was elected by tn
people,.
Tennessee has furnished four Presi
dents-Jackson, Polk and johnson
The latter was elected Vice Presiden
and succeeded to the Presidency upo
the death Of Lincoln.
Thus 1t will be seen that OF Tn
twenty-five men who have been PresI
dents Of the United States seyenteel
came from four States in the Union
Virginia. New York, Ohio and Ten
nessee.
or the eight other Presidents. Mas
sachusetts furnished Jonn Adams an

the mi-occasionally. Her Gu.
riosity got the better of her, and she
asked the mistress of the. house why
they didn't observe the rite regularly.
Why" said the lady with some sur.
prise, I'VE say grace only when we
have reason to be thankful. We never
dream Of giving thanks when we have
only roast beef, or beefsteak, or some
simple thing like that. But whenever
we have game or something really
nice, then we say grace. for It's worth
while!"

RyC, F. w. Marauardt, Ophthalmologist.
Asthenopia means tired, and serves
the purpose Of some people to mystify
their patients, conveying the idea OF
serious condition which is true, but 1t ls
beneath what should be the standard OF
honor Of an ophthalmologist.
1t means that the nerve supply is
below normal, and it exhibits the
weakness sometimes in the ocular mus.
cles, either those operating the lens or
the ones rotating the eyeball, or it may
affect vision intermittently-one minute
the patient sees we'll. while the next
everything fades away. While in such
cases blindness is q bare possibility, the
most frequent sequel is general break
ing down of the entire system.
Therefore proper glasses should be Sc
cured and sufficient rest taken to recu.
perate because it is the same old story
Of hyperopia as the cause. Amourosit
and amblyopia aro also words sometimes
used to designate the asthenopic state
and the layman ought to understand
that the doctor who uses the biggest
words usually knows least Of what he il
talking about. He spent his time
studying vocabulary when he shoult
have been learning simple methods O.
removing causes OF trouble. Th'
quicker the doctor and the public dis
miss the idea that medicine or glasse
cure, and learn that it is nature will
the assistance of the patient that ac
complishes results, the better it will b.
for all, because then doctors advice
will be his most valuable remedy.

The SaddeSt.

The saddest OF all is not tnat
it might have been, but 1t is to
be Il man without Il native land
and to be without a home. Old
Uncle Jack Richardson was
born S6 years ago on the broad
bosom of the Atlantic ocean, of
English parentage and lived TO
learn what it is to be without
kith, kin or home and to real liZe
all that Over the Hill to the
Poor House" means. For more
than 30 years his home has been
ON the broad Monroe prairies,
for the larger portion of that
time he loved children and they
him. He was Il faithful though
eccentric Se.vaut and a true
friend. For four years he has
been failing mentally aud phys.
ically. His friends were more
than willing to assume tue care
OF his physical wants. but he
needed other care and attention
that they could not give, SO
prevailed on him to go to the
farm near Paris. He went
cheerfully last Monday, but in
so doing left Il number of sad
hearts behind.

Smith.

Adoniram Smith was born
Oct. 4th 1902 and lived in
Bridgeport, Ohio, until 1912.
when he moved to Rails county
Mo-, near Hannibal. Here he
reared Il family of seven chill.
,dren, five of whom, three sons
aNl two daughters, are still liv.
ingH
In 1879 his wife died at the

In 1880 he went to Sweet
Springs Mo, where'he has since
made his home with his son

He made profession of re-
ligion and joined the Salt River
Baptist church in 1S48 when
Christie Gentry was pastor.
After quiet, happy Christian
life he went to his Father, Feb.
ruary %. 1901.
1t was said of him that lie
was a christian seven days in
the week, living for others
life worthy imitation. He was
man of positive temperance
principles, even to total alb.
silence.
He became helpless from
physical exhaustion February
n. 1901. He suffered no pain in
any way and when asked by his
physician if he suffered any;
his reply would be; Il am very
comfortable" He seemed to
to fall gently asleep in Jesus.
In this way a life covering the
unsual period of 98 years and
six months was sweetly closed
Oh earth.
He united with tbe FIRST Gar-
tist church of Morfoe City in
April 1871 and rem3ined mem.
ber till mis- death. At roll call
the first of this year he respon...
ed by letter.
His life covered a period the
most remarkable in the history
of the world. almost all of the
Nineteenth century.
Gone to his rest! Tread softly
now.

We almost hear Celestial
