The public interest In freaks of nature which makes it still profitable to maintain circus sideshows where various malformed, queeily distorted unfortunates are exhibited to gaping crowds Is an interest of long standing, snys the following article from the New i'ork World. It goes back not only to the courts of medieval kings where dwarfs ond hunchbacks frequently furnished cruel amusement to bored nobles and their ladles. It Is also to be found even before the Christian era. It has recently been demonstrated that this Insatiable curiosity concerning human beings of unusual shape, coloring or habits is of very ancient origin. In the quarterly Journal of the International School of Vedlc and Allied Research It Is revealed by an expert Sanskrltist that the ancient inhabitants of India referred In one of their early scriptures to such monstrosities as three-eyemountainpeople, eers and people with ears as large as pillows. Dr. E. Washburn Hopkins, emeritus professor of Sunskrit and comparative philology at Yale university, who Is vice president of the American section of the International School of Vedlc and. Allied Research, points out in the article referred to, "The Epic View of the Earth." that the stories about these queer people sometimes are based on facts, while others are "traveler's tales distorted."

His testimony has some value. So many Presidents of the United States have been described as shy, even the most eminent of them, thai fchyness must have been exaggerated ns a personal handicap In the struggle for success. What seems to bi genuine shyness may be overconw by a strong will, ambition and determination to get results. Outside of public life some of tin most successful men have been said to be shy. Henry Ford hns Impressed many people n very diffident Even the late J. P. Morgan, prince of financiers, shunned publicity as If he were obsessed with the desire for privacy. He would never attempt to make a speech. Au audience ot schoolboys frightened him. But even an orator may b naturally solitary. Some great actors hav been shy.

There Is ample authority tor the assertion that President Hoover Is President Coolldge was also shy. shy, and so was President Wilson. No one ever noticed shyness In President Roosevelt, but the list of our shy Presidents Is a long one. Grant was shy, and some said Lincoln was. That Is, they seemed shy to some of the people they knew, or met who wrote their personal Impressions of them afterward. Jefferson was a highbrow and no "mixer"; you could not slap him on the back. There was nothing of the shrinking violet In John Adams, but his eminent son, John Quiney, was reserved and distant." Henry Clay thought be was a prim little Puritan, as cold as a fish, when he met him at Ghent. George Washington, according to a clergyman who knew him, was "shy, silent, slow and cautious."
