fully to break into the exclusive so
cial set dominated by royalty and the
nobility, to Paris.
John Jacob Astor the first, the
great-grandfather of the present head
of the Astor family, was troubled
but little by such a thing as family
tree. Instead of investigating the
history of his ancestors he devoted
his time to the building up of great
fortune, and succeeded. The second
John Jacob added to the fortune left
by his father, and when he died his
sons were among the weaithiest men
in the world. With an abundance of
money the third generation developed
social aspirations of high order.
William Waldorf's were so high that
nothing in this country could satisfy
them, and, though this government
had gratified his political aspirations
to the extent of sending him as min
lister to Italy in 1882, he did not be-
lieve that his talents were sufficiently
appreciated at home, and shortly
after the death of his father, in 1890,
he removed to England, where he has
on various occasions been snubbed
numerically by the royalty and no.
bility with which he wishes to asso-
ciate.
For more than 20 years William
Waldorf Astor has given close atten-
ton to the cultivation of family
tree. He is said to have traced his
ancestry back through countless gen.
erations until he found that he was
descended from the ancient Spanish
dons, and that the blood of the cava-
liers flowed in his veins. But he has
round that in England the blood of
the Spanish dons would not be al
lowed to mingle with that of the Eng
lish nobility, and that the standing
Of his claimed ancestry would not
open sealed doors. Recently he
sprouted another branch of his fam
lily tree, and now finds that instead
of being Spanish dons his ancestors
were French dukes, who became Prot
estants at the time of the Huguenots.
On the strength of this new discovery
of his il is said he will make an effort
TO become part of the Paris colony
of discarded royalty that furnish re-
publican France with much of it's
amusement.

Behind this young man, of whom
the world heard so much a year ago
when he returned from his explora-
tions in arctic waters, there is some
interesting personal history. He is
described as a quiet, unassuming
young man of % years; fond of soil
tude, but eager for adventures of a
thrilling nature, which he has
searched for in all parts of the world,
and yet he was born amidst all the
tumult that attends half a dozen
Spanish revolutions.
He is a grandson of Victor En-
manuel l., king of Italy, and cousin
of the present king of Italy. At the
time of his birth his father was the
reigning king of Spain with the title
of Amadeus l., who was elected SOW
ereign of Spain to succeed Queen Isa-
bella IL His reign was but short
and tumultuous, and was remarkable
for the number of revolutions against
his authority, instigated by the Car
lists, by the adherents of Prince AL
fonso, son of Isabella, and by the
republicans. It was in the midst of
these that the duke of Abruzzi was
born in Madrid January 90, 1873. A
month after his birth his father re-
signed the Spanish throne, to be fol-
lowed by the short-lived Spanish re-
public, and with his queen and family
returned to Italy, where he died in
1890.
The duke of Abruzzi was a third
son and was educated for the Italian
navy, in which he now holds the rank
of lieutenant. His first achievement
that brought his name prominently
before the world was the ascension
of Mount Elias in Alaska in 1897.

ago harbor when the attempt was
made TO bottle up the fleet of Ad-
miral Cervera, has been promoted to
be gunner'S mate in the navy, a po-
sition worthy the ambition of any
American boy; and Calvin Titus, who
was the first of the foreign soldiers
to scale the walls of Pelxing, and by
whose hand the stars and stripes was
planted on that wall ahead of the
flag of any other of the allied armies,
has been given an appointment to
West Point. Both are Iowa boys.
Of the two acts it is hard to say
which was the bravest. Deignan was
one of a company that faced death
together, but of all that company
none but the brave commander of the
doomed vessel occupied such an ex-
posed position, for they stood side by
side at the wheel, at which every
Spanish shell was directed, and it is
probable that neither expected to
ever escape with their lives. For this
act Deignan would in all probability
have been sent to Annapolis had he
not have been past the age limit for
naval cadets. AS it is, way is now
opened for him to advance to the
rank of an officer from the ranks.
Titus acted practically alone in his
daring, and in the face of a murder
Gus fire. BY his daring he made pos
sible the entrance of the allies into
Picking at time when every moment
was valuable. His reward is none too
great for the act of bravery he per-
formed. His home is in Vinton, Ia,
and he is but 20 years OF age.

house that caters not to the ordinary
banking business, but to the great
capitalists of the country. The latest
member of this great firm of finan-
ciers is George w. Perkins, and be-
hind his rise to power in the world
OF finance is some interesting person
al history and achievements.
Mr.. Perkins is son of the west,
being born in Chicago in 1862. The
silver spoon was missing at the time
of his birth, and was not found in his
mouth. His father was a life insur-
ance agent, and the son began his
business career as an Office boy in
the Chicago branch of the New York
Life company. There are to-day men
connected with the life insurance
business in Chicago, and who claim to
have predicted his rise to power in
the financial world because of the
ability he displayed as an office boy.
During his connection with the life
insurance company promotions came
rapidly, and when he quit that COM
pany to enter the great banking es-
Enlistment he had risen to the no.
sition of second vice president OF the
company, a member of its board of
trustees and the chairman of it's
finance committee. He is in all re-
spects n self-made man, and a sample
of what any progressive American
boy may become if ne but has the
push.

1914. From New York will attend
Rev. George NJ. Van Derlip, who
wrote the original letter from Lon
don in June, 1850, which was printed
in the Waterman and Reflector of
Boston, and which occasioned the
founding of the Boston association
that will now act as host for the con-
vention, and from Canada will come
Lord Strathcona at the head of the
delegation from that country.
OF the three Lord Strathcona has
probably had the most interesting
history. He was born in Scotland
and from there entered the service
of the Hudson Bay company, and was
sent to Canada, where he endured
the hardships and privations that fell
to the lot of the northwestern fur
trader. In time he rose to the head
of that great corporation, and was
its last resident governor He has
served Canada and the western prov
inces of Canada in many capacities;
was a special commissioner in the
Red River settlements during the
first Riel rebellion; was a member of
the first executive council of the
northwest territory: has sat in the
Manitoba legislature and the Ca
madam parliament at Ottawa, and is
now the high commissioner for Cam
ada in London. For the war in South
Africa he organized the regiment
known as Strathcona's horse, which
has but recently returned from Cape
Town to Canada.
