An Old Family.

Several years ago there was an old
family in Pennsylvania named Roth.
Indeed the long line of Roths was about
all the family had to show by way OF
distinction, and so much did they make
of the long branches Of the family tree
and the Niagara of blue blood that had
in centuries past coursed through their
veins that people Of the more recent gen
erations really began to think these
Roths were of some account.
One evening there happened to be a
party in the little town of M, and
beside the great Roth family the guests
numbered among others young Dr..
Sharp. lie was a popular and rising
physician and considered by matchmak-
ing mammas a particularly desirable
catch.
Mrs. Roth had four manageable
daughters, so at the 6rst favorable OPP
portunity she cornerad the young doctor
and sought to impress upon him the inn
portance of her wonderful family.
"Why, doctor" she said. we all came
over on the Mayfower, SO | know you
will not think me bold in asserting that
the Roths are really one Of the first fam
lies"
Pardon me" replied the young ply
stefan, 'but l have no hesitation in say
ing that your family enjoys even a great
er distinction"
"Oh, DOCTOR" gushed the old woman,
giving herself congratulatory hug on
her coming triumph. Indeed you fat
ter US"
"Not at all" he replied, ''for know
you are the first family. "
''Who told you that dear doctor"

"for it says the Lord was Roth."-Bos-
