OF THE old SOUTH
Baroness Charette Was Noted
Nashville Belle.
Granddaughter of President Polk and
Widow of Famous Soldier Has Re-
Gently Passed Away at Her
Home in France.

The death recently of Baroness
Charette, granddaughter of President
Polk and widow of the famous Cen
eral Charette, recalls interesting his
tory of the old South as it is related
to court life of Europe, observes the
Louisville Courier-Journal. Baroness
Charette was born in Nashville, Tenn,
where she figured in southern life of
the old days; and when she went to
Europe, the wife of a nobleman, her
charming manner won her advent into
exclusive circles. At her recent death
at her chateau, De la Basse-Motte, in
Brittany, she was sincerely mOurned
by the house of Bourbon, to which she
was related through her illustrious
husband.
Her only son, like his father, sought
"a wife in America, and not only Amer
lea, but Kentucky, the former Susanna
Henning, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
James w. Henning of Louisville and
New York, being the choice as a wife
of the son of General Charette and the
beloved baroness. The son assumed
the title of Marquis de la Charette,
which had belonged to another branch
of the family, now extinct, and that
was the name under which he was
popularity known.
The Baroness Charette played
notable part in chaperoning the duch-
ess of Aosta, sister of the dukes Of
Orleans and of Montpensier, when be-
fore her marriage she Travelled over
Europe incognito.
The late General Charette had many
of the aspects of the chivalry which
he upheld in deed as well as in name.
He entered the military service Of
the Papacy during the reign of Plus
TX. and rose to command a regiment of
Zouaves, recruited almost entirely
from the aristocracy. The regiment
figured illustriously in the stirring
times that saw the conversion of Rome
into the capital of United Italy.
1t was in the battle of Castel Fiordo
that the dashing chivalry of the gen.
eral won laurels that still figure in
the picturesque story of the Eternal
city. He met in single combat an
italian colonel, while their forces sus-
pended hostilities to watch the out
come. The generals adversary was
carried of badly wounded, after hay
ing grasped the hand of his valiant
opponent, and in a few minutes the
armies clashed in battle. General
Charette was wounded in the battle
of Montana during the hard fighting
that caused nearly all the officers Of
his forces to appear on the casualty
list. The general placed his services
at the disposal of his country when
the war broke out between France
and Germany in 1870.
The first wife of General Charette
was a daughter of the French ducal
house of Fitzjames, descended from
King James H. of England. After the
death of the bride of his youth the
hero won for his second wife the belle
of Nashville, who was the granddaugh-
ter of president of the United States.

NEW Works. NOTED HOUSES
City Has Many Former Places Of Resi-
dence of Presidents of the
United States.

New York city never preserves its
monuments, but, strange to say, there
ere still standing in this city four
houses where former presidents Of the
United States lived, writes a New
York correspondent Of q Pittsburgh
exchange. For instance, there is the
man who gave utterance to the Mon
president. who fought in the Revolu-
ton. The house where he lived and
d!ed-on Prince, corner Of Lafayette
street, Is there. and 1t looks its part.
This is venerable building, the like
of which is to be seen only In the old
er American towns like Charleston,
Philadelphia, Boston, Salem and
Portsmouth. 81 could tell storyl'
boasts the ancient among buildings;
and you are not surprised to learn
that the story Is that of the great Vir-
ginian, who, after leaving the White
House, came to New York to live and
to die. Then there is Ulysses Simpson
Grant, originally Hiram Grant, who
lived on Sixty-sixth street, near Fifth
avenue, which was perhaps the most
handsome home of any Of the former
presidents. 1t is not merely a house,
but residence. 1t looks like New
York home, the home of somebody.
The residence Of Chester A. Arthur,
however, who died in 1886 at 1913 Lex.
ington avenue, has fallen to the march
Of trade, but not so much as Theodore
Roosevelt's former place Of living In
East Twentieth street, near Fifth ave-
nue.. Strangely enough, the Roosevelt
house which, one would say, should
look the youngest and most vigorous
Of the four, displays the fewest marks
Of the glory that belongs to 1t. The
basement floor is occupied by an Of
fee. On the second floor a dealer in
novelties has established himself. On
the floor above magazine is pub
lished. Roosevelt was loved by so
many millions of his fellow country
men and is so singularly New York's
president that one is sure this house
will be saved before it is too late.

Name Mountain "RooseveIt.n

Impressive ceremonies attended By
many soldier and civilian friends Of
the former president will mark the
dedication Of Mount Theodore Roose-
velt on July 4.
Shortly after the death of Colonel
Roosevelt the pioneers of the Black
Hills met at Deadwood, s. D., and de-
cided to change the name of Sheep
mountain. near Deadwood, to Mount
Theodore Roosevelt. Feeling that the
spirit Of Independence day typified
the ideals Of the late president 1t was
decided to postpone the formal cere-
mony until then.
Invitations have been sent to scores
Of Colonel Roosevelt's friends by Col.
Seth Bullock. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
will deliver the dedicatory address.
Clifford Pinchot, Secretary Lane and
many other national figures will be
present.

It is not necessary to feed the lay

from the house as much as possible.
Provide artificial shade If natural
shade is not available. Feed them
away from the house rather than at
the back door and less trouble will be

The OF as beast Of burden is COM
ing into its own again In the farming
communities Of the state, according to
. dispatch from Lewiston. Me-. and
the oxsling and apparatus used by
blacksmiths In shoeing the animals,
long ago thrown into the discard, Is
in use again. The sling consists Of
rude frame Of timber into which the
animal is fastened by a pillory. Straps
are then drawn under the body. the
ends being made fast to upper timbers
Of the frame. In blacksmith shops 20
years ago the slings were common.
Oxen are less expensive to feed than
horses and are equally as useful on
small farms. and the rising value of
feed Is having much to do with the
comeback Of the OK as a work animal.

plants thrive and spread if kept close
ly grazed, while most weeds cannot
live If their tops are cut off frequently.
AS rule, in the average pasture the
heavily grazed portions are compara-
lively free from weeds and possess a
better sod than the area on which the
grasses are too mature to be eaten
by live stock, where the weeds usually
run rampant. Furthermore, the char
acter of the turf on heavily grazed
field will steadily improve, while that
on a lightly grazed area will deteri-
crate correspondingly according to the
results Of extensive grazing expert
ments.

prepared by the United States Depart

A prolific cause of the decline of
pastures results from not stocking
them properly. Farmers are frequent
ly advised to Craze their fields lightly
If they wish to keep them permanently
productive, the depleted western
ranges being cited as glaring examples
of what happens where overgrazing is
permitted Such advice is misleading
for humid eastern conditions. It is
poor farming to fail to realize the
maximum benefits from the native
grass crop. The ambition of the aver
age stockman should be to realize the
largest total gain per acre or the max
imum gain per individual animal, or
the highest possible production of
milk, wool, pork, or mutton from the
grazing areas without jeopardizing
their future production.
Grazing Beef Cattle.
Where heavy beef cattle are pro-
duced it is not practicable to Craze
too closely, as the animals Will not
make sufficient gains to sell proftably.
But with young cattle or dairy cows,
the risk would not be nearly so great,
and the benefit derived from close
grazing would far exceed the chance
for loss. The extent and duration Of
the grazing is an individual matter
for each farmer to decide, but in max
ing this decision he should bear in
mind that many of the unproductive
and so-called rundown pastures in
the best sections Of the bluegrass re-
gion have resulted from too light rath-
er than from too heavy grazing.

SOME FACTS ABOUT
TRUING UP WHEELS

"Truing Up Wheels" is the pTacti-
cal title Of the first OF a new series
Of tire conservation booklets, just Is
sued by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company, Akron, Ohio.
In its message is shown the alb
normal wear that an automobile tire
undergoes when run on wheels that
are out Of alignment. 1t shows how
humping into curbs, hitting bumps I'm
the road, turning out into cutters, and
similar strains are likely to throw a
wheel out OF 'true" and how tires run
on wheels that are badly out OF line
travel with a skidding action that
wears down treads very rapidly.
Tires on wheels that are in perfect
alignment encounter only one source
Of friction-the grip OF the tread on
the road surface. In misaligned
wheels there Is an additional source
the grinding Of the road at an angle
to the wheel. The result is the same
as IL the. tire were held against a re-
volving grindstone-the tread grinds
on abnormally.
Any observing motorist may see
daily, many cars operating on wheels
that are not true" wabbling along
like a drunken person, and at the
same time rolling the car owners
money away needlessly. Tire men
estimate that about one in every three
cars has one or more misaligned
wheels that are robbing their owners
of thousands, OF tire miles.
The only remedy for this condition
is to test the wheels frequently, par
ticularly after the car has suffered
severe bumps and, jolts. The new
Goodyear booklet outlines a very sim
pie method by which any car owner
may determine for himself in a few
