of long, smooth slide Of water with a
grand boil-up at the bottom. says HUI

way back toward the middle of the

Dawson was buried in the little town

Dawson came. He arrived with one

wished to pay for his services could do
so. but he w insisted on a fee.
What money he did not use for the
actual necessaries Of life he gave to
charity. To the curious he said:
Il came here from California. There
l have a wife and child. I like your
town. and Pm going to stay here"
For ten years Dawson lived with his
dog as a sole companion. When he
died the tribute paid to him was:

A Child Wonder,

The French Academy of Sciences in
1929 examined the case Of a French
lad only seven years old who, in all
respects a v that Of intelligence, was
the equal of a MAI Of twenty. His re-
markable physical development began
when he was two years old. At four
he could do the farm work of a boy of
fifteen or sixteen, and at seven he was
a fully grown man. Although his
physique was thus remarkably devel-
oped, his intelligence was no greater
than that of children Of the same age.
He died before he was twenty. AS is
usual in such cases Of premature de-
velopment. his strength faded away,
and he became prematurely old before
other men would attain maturity.
