GRAVE OF PATRICK HENRY
"Tongue Of the Revolution" ls Buried
on His Estate in Charlotte
County.

Every now and then there comes
the query. Where is Patrick Henry
buried?" and tourists In Richmond,
Va, constantly ask to be shown his
grave, with the mistaken idea that it
is In that city, where much of his
public career was passed. Few per-
sons, comparatively. know that the
man who acquired the title of The
Tongue of the Revolution" lies in a
quiet grave on the estate in Charlotte
county where he formerly lived Over
him Is marble slab inscribed with
the one line: His Fame His Best
Epitaph."
The estate lies on the Staunton
river. 80 miles from the town OF Lnych-
burg. Va, near the border line which
separates Charlotte and Campbell
counties. 1t derived its name Of Red
Hill from the peculiar color of the
soil in that vicinity. When Patrick
Henry bought the place it comprised
about three thousand Ave hundred
acres. The land is rich-there was
saying in the neighborhood that poor
land and Patrick Henry could never
be mentioned tOgether-corn grows
there as high as man on horseback,
there is general air of smiling fields
and abundant prosperity. Its situa-
ton In early times was very remote.
Neighbors were few, one of the near
est being the celebrated John Ran
dolph OF Roanoke, who lived in his
chosen solitude fifteen miles away.
Red Hill is now owned by Henry's
grandson, William Writ Henry, a
gentleman OF the "old school," He
has in his possession some interesting
relics OF his celebrated grandfather,
including the desk he always used,
which still contains his letters from
Lafayette. Washington Madison and
other great men of early days; the
large round-backed chair in which
Patrick Henry died, and portrait of
him by the elder Sully, under which
hangs a yellowed slip of paper signed
by Chief Justice John Marshall and sew
eral others of his friends, testifying
to the faithfulness of the likeness.

7 no Out of Every Three
Men Are Pigeon-Toed

Two out of every three city
bred men are pigeon-toed, says
John Muldoon, veteran shoemak-
er.
"Arrow-shaped shoes, high
heels and a mincing walk gener-
ally are to blame" Muldoon said.
Misery loves company, you know,
so when the shoes begin to pinch
the toes on one foot naturally try
to get close to their little brothers
on the other foot"
Muldoon said he'd never seen
an habitual souse Or a policeman
afflicted with in-turned locomo-
ton.
"Of course both aren't immune
for the same reason" he fastened
to add. "A jag keeps his feet
wide apart so the sidewalk won't
roll up and hit him. Cops are so
proud of their broad-toed shoes
that their toes never feel inclined
to bow to e>Sh other"
Thousands of rundown shoes
are put in walking order by Null
doom every year. He's studied
them so he knows their wearers.
Here are a few of Muldoon's
old shoe observations:
