THE SEARCH FOR ANCESTORS.

"Japhet in Search of a Father did not
undertake sucha laborious task as many an
ancestor-seel1er is engaged in in these days.
We are such conglomerate people, and we
pride ourselves so greatly on our demo-
cratic institutions where one man is, the
oretically, at least, as good as every other,
that until recently we have taken very little
interest in ancestry. In fact, we have af-
fected to look with scorn upon family pre-
tensions. The occasional person who boast
ed of a descent from one of the Mayhow-
ers passengers has been regarded with
amused federation. while the more daring
one who Haunted coat-of-arms has been
viewed with derision. Now all this is
changed. Within the past few years an ar
dent interest in progenitors has developed
among American men and women. One
thing that has stimulated it is the organi-
cation of numerous patriotic societies,
membership in which requires certain an
cestral qualifications. One society calls for
a clean proof of descent from a man or
woman who rendered loyal service to the
cause of independence before and during
the revolution; another, more exclusive,
limits eligibility to those whose ancestors
came over before the revolution and occu-
pied position of honor or rendered some
distinguished service. There is a Holland
Society which admits only those who can
trace descent in the direct male line from
Dutchman who was a resident of the colo
MES prior to the year 1915. There is HUI
guenot Society, Society of Mayfower De-
scendants, a Pilgrim Society," a Society of
Pennsylvania Germans. and so on down a
long list. The keeping of private family
records is custom not we'll observed dur
ing our early history. and the migratory
character Of the population has caused the
scattering, and often the destruction. of
such records as were kept. Parish or other
public records of births and deaths were
kept with varying accuracy in New Eng
land colonies, and were preserved with care
or not, according to the intelligence or
faithfulness of the successive persons into
whose care they came. AS a consequence.
when the men and women ambitious to en-
ter certain organizations sought to prove
their right the proof was apt to be hard to
find. If they belonged to one of few
families prominent in the early history of
the country the way was easier. for enough
individuals have always been sufficiently in
terested in heraldry and the accompanying
family lore to give employment to a few
men whose occupation it was to trace the
lineage of those who desired information,
and volumes devoted to special family
trees were prepared. In the course of their
work they accumulated many miscellane-
GUS records and also learned where the
sources of further information were to be
found. Their services consequently have
been in increased demand of late Tie set
Element of estates has also led to much
delving into family history. Occasionally a
man or woman with a good share of family
pride and equal industry has compiled "a
family record and published it. With all
these aids, however. the pioneers in inc

to their condition. In the large field hos

In the general hospitals the condition was
better, but the smallest division hospital
to-day has more comforts than the best
general hospital at that period. Out of all
the general and field hospitals scores of

to send the bodies to their friends
These are a few of the facts which every
man who served in the late war knows. and
they are facts which will ere long react
upon newspapers that are trying to make
the country believe that because of the
criminal neglect of those high in authority
the fatalities of-the present war are fright
fully in excess of those, of any other war
ever known. AS matter of record, the loss
by disease of nearly every one-hundred-day
regiment that went from this State with
less than thousand men, with few ex-
ceptions, was double, and in most cases
three or four times that of the One-hun-
-ffty-eighth. with nearly thirteen
hundred men.
There were complaints in those days by a
few men in camp. The men who went into
the army then were no better than those
who now in camps-no better. Some of
them get into the papers alongside of the

The genealogical craze is not so widespread
and formidable in the West as in the East,
though it is increasing in intensity every
where. In Boston and New York certain
newspapers recognize it to- the extent of

confined to would-be members of organiza-

fascination of the study of family history.
The subject of heredity or other psychology

with their forefathers ftirthers their knowl-
edge in these. directions. But if they are
animated solely by family pride their hunt
for progenitors is justified. The knowledge
that ones ancestors were worthy citizens
is proper cause for satisfaction, and if it
turn out that some branches of the tree
were defective the intelligence may also
have a wholesome effect. One result of the
fad is certain: records, public and private

the pedigree hunters of later era will have
fewer difficulties to encounter

A BRIEF CONTRAST.

All these who have any information on
the subject are surprised at the liberality
of the government in it's treatment of the
volunteers. Take the matter of transporta-
ton. Nearly all of the troops left this State
in sleeper or tourist cars, carrying an ex-
tensive equipment All of the commands
that have returned have ridden in similar
cars. At the time of the Mexican war there
were few railroads. The troops from the
boats. The men were days on the route.
with no provision for the sick and little
for the we'll. They reached their homes
with clothing in tatters and penniless. AT
the time of the war for the Union the regi-
ments went forward in box, platform and
cattle cars, without provision for sleeping.
When mustered out the regiments reached
this city in every sort of car after being
days on the road. Whatever the men had
to eat they carried in old haversacks-hard-
tack, a little bacon and sometimes coffee
which was prepared by the wayside in tin
cups. The sick were left in hospitals to
return after recovery. AS a rule, the cloth
ing was worn and often in rags. Nor were
regiments welcomed back with popular ac-
claim, because the people were worn out
with war. They went to camp. where they
waited final muster out, often without tents,
eating field rations. The regiments which
won imperisllable glory for Indiana in a
