Dyspep sia

The explanation is simple. It is found in
that impure blood which is contin-

instead OF the elements OF strength and

THE EAR OF sEAF1E1D, COUSIN TO u S. GRANT, ILL.,

amused by IT., was secretly we'll pleased
at the distinguished blood that ran in
his veins. His close resemblance to the
then living earl was curiously noted by
him. And could he be alive today he
would be much interested in following
up the same resemblance between his
grandson and the young earl of almost
the same age who is just celebrating his
majority.
The Grants first became prominent in
1914. when Alexander II. was king of
Scotland and Gregory de Grant was
sheriff of Inverness. The family has just
been brought into notice again by the
coming of age of the eleventh earl of
Seafield, the son of a farm laborer in
New Zealand and the return of the young
man to Scotland.
Stranger than a creation of fiction has
been the history Of the vicissitudes OF
the Scottish Grants Death and poverty
have been busy with them Of late years.
So rapidly have the bearers of the title
of Seafield died that the widows of the
seventh. ninth and tenth earls are still
alive, and it is the first mentioned dow
ager, the great aunt of the present earl,
who has whatever property has been
saved out of the wreck Of the fortunes
of this illustrious house.
ONE OF ENGLAND'S YOUNG SONS
The ninth earl was so poor that he
was unable to provide properly for his
son, Francis William. and the young
man wandered out to New Zealand,
where he got employment as a farm
hand, and, being an industrious and
hard working man. he managed to ac-
cumulate a little farm of his own, and
became notability in the little colonial
community in Oamaru where he lived.
Everybody knew he was an heir of the
bankrupt earldom of Seafield, but did
not think any the less of him for that, as
he never put on side AS Farmer
Grant he talked crops and politics with
the country folk and was as good
judge of top dressing as anybody in the
neighborhood, Finally Farmer Grant
was elected to the local legislature and
was as proud of the distinction as any
of his ancestors had been when royal
hands were showering lands and peer
ages upon them.
HONORS THRUST UPON HIM
One day in 1883, when Farmer Grant
went to the country postoflice for his
mail, driving down to the village in his
farm wagon. he found a letter from
Scotland telling him that his father was
dead and that he was Sir James Ogilvie-
Grant, Earl of Seafield, Viscount Reid
haven, Baron Ogilvy of Deskford and
Cullen, Baron Strathspey of Strathspey.
and baronet. That was all right as far
as titles went, but titles would not build
q new barn or put in another crop of
potatoes, and titles was all that Farmer
Grant had inherited.
So he drove slowly back to the farm
thinking all the while of the strange
things that happened to noble families
When Grant had begun to do we'll
enough In New Zealand to support
wife he had married Annie Trevor CORY

FIRST TO CROSS THE CONTINENT
The Brides of Two Missionaries Made
the Trip Six Years Before Fremont

In the November Ladies' Home Jour-
nal George Ludington Weed writes of
When DR.. Whitman Added Three Stars
to Our Flag" and shows conclusivelv
that party of five people, including two
woman. crossed the Rock Mountains at
South Pass in 1886, six years prior to
Fremont's crossing. Concerning this in
teresting historical incident Mr.. Weed
| writes THE first wedding tour across
the continent was in 1885, There were
two couples, Marcus Whitman, NJ. H.. .,
and the Rev. H. H. Spaulding, and their
brides. They made the journey of thr.
ty-five hundred miles, occupying seven
months, in wagon, the first to cross the
continent. DR.. Whitman, having visited
the region before, was guide to the new
home in Oregon. He was the first TO
make known its value to the United
States. South Pass is reached" writes
Mr.. Weed of the famous journey, "the
highest plateau, the divide of the conti-
nent. In the pass the traveller reads the
inscriptions: Fremont 1872 All honor
to the Pathfinder but also to the
two heroines who had gone through six
years before his claimed discovery. Let

sounded from the garret. and the chtl
dren were all peacefully asleep, there
was a long talk between the good farmer
and his wife as to what might have beer
and the prospects which the children
would have II Aunt Caroline" should
take one Of them into favor
Aunt Caroline was the Hon. Caroline
Stuart, daughter of William Robert
eleventh Lord Blantyre, and widow OF
the Earl Seafield, and she held the fam
lily estates SO that while Farmer Grant
knew that he would now be entered In
the "Peerage" as having seats" at
Cullen House, Banffshire; Grant Lodge,
Elgine; Castle Grant and Balmacaan,
Inverness, his little farm at Oamaru
would be still put down as his resi-
dence."
Farmer Grant lived only nine months
after his accession to the earldom, and
when he died his oldest boy, James. car
ried on the farm until he became Of age.
In the meantime his loyal clansmen in
Scotland had not forgotten him, and
kept watch over the outgoing and in
coming of their hereditary chief.
LIKE THE GRANT WE KNOW
Last April the boy became of age, and

the Clan Grant. and, stealing awhile
from his farm labors, the young man
read at the address, I'VE recall with
pride that, Notwithstanding the adverse
circumstances with which for years you
have contended, you have never forgot
ten your obligations to your noble line
age, and have throughout maintained
the character Of an honorable and an
upright man, and had the respect Of all
with whom you have come in contact"
There came also a letter from Aunt
Caroline inviting the young earl to visit
the land of his ancestors and see the
family estates. So James. being now
able to afford the trip, determined to
make visit to Scotland, and the other
day he arrived in London on his way to
visit his great aunt, who will undoubt-
edly make him her heir. When he ar
rived in Dunedin, New Zealand, to take
the steamer for home" the Scots in that
colonial seaport gave him dinner as u
"send-off," and to an address the young
man replied in vein which has the true
Grant ring.
He said: I'm a retrospective sense it
is impossible for one in my position
to regard events in connection with the
fortunes of my house with other than
mixed feelings: but. with Gods help and

Caroline, Countess of Seafield, lives
