THE ROMANTIC STORY
OF THE DOUGLAS FAMILY

If a long train of illustrious ances-
tors can make any name remarkable
and great, no family can plead higher
claim than the Douglas.
1t is the least part of the glory of
this family that it has been honored
with alliances by marriage into the
first rank of nobility in Scotland, Eng
land and France, having matched
eleven times with the royal house of
Scotland and once with that of Eng
land.
From Archibald Douglas. sixth Earl
of Angus, not only the royal house of
Great Britain, but most of the
crowned heads of Europe, are de-
scended. The family, however, has
ever been distinguished, even more for
merit than by titles.
AS to the origin of the name, the
tradition is that in the reign of Sol
vathious, King of the Scots, in the
eighth century, one Donald Bane in
vaded the Scotch territories and rout-
ed the royal army. AT this point,
man of rank and figure" came to the
Kings assistance, and changed defeat
into victory.
Being desirious of seeing the one
who had done so signal a service, the
man was pointed out to the King by
his color or complexion, in these
words of the old Gaelic tongue, "Shol-
to du glas'-or Behold that Swarthy
colored man." Hence he was named
Sholto the Douglas. The King royalty
rewarded him with grants of land and
created him Lord of Douglas.
The only man of rank in Scotland
who could never be prevailed upon to
submit to prince, who had no right
to the kingdom except that which
force gave him, was William, sevesSeh
Lord of Douglas, called the Hardy,
an adherent of Sir William Wallace.
He died a prisoner in the Castle of
York, England, 1903.
His son, James, the Black Douglas,
is regarded as one of the greatest
heroes of his time, and the seventy
battles in which he took part he was
victorious in all except thirteen.
He 'was an adherent of Robert Bruce
and assisted at his coronation.
His was a name to conjure with, and
mothers stilled their children with,
Hush We, hush We, little pet We,
Hush We, hush, We, do not fret We,
The Black Douglas shall not get ye."
1t is to the valorous deeds of the
Black Douglas that the family owes

near New London, he safely delivered
his dispatches.
Soon after the breaking out of the
Revolution, John Douglas of Middle
borough, Mass, volunteered his serv-
ices. He had the rank of sergeant
which office he held until the end oe
his enlistment.
So upright and honest was John
Douglas, that he was called John the
Baptist.

the emblem of the heart upon the coat
of arms. 1t seems that when Robert
Bruce found himself drawing near his
end, and unable to undertake a jour-
ney to the Holy Land, to perform a
certain vow he had made, he requested
James Douglas-the Black Douglas
that, at his DEATH he would have his
heart embalmed and put in silver
casket, and that he would take it to
Jerusalem and bury it near the Saw
iour's sepulchre. James failed in the
task from no fault of his own. On
the journey he fought for the Spanish
King against the Moors in the north
of Africa. Being surrounded by the
infidels he flung the heart into their
midst, followed it, and died fighting
over the casket. The family ever aft
erward had mans heart added to it's
arms.
In heraldry, the coat of arms is de-
scribed as argent, a mans heart, gules,
unsigned with an imperial crown
proper; on a chief azure, three stars
argent.
Different branches of the family bear
different crests and notices in addition
to the arms. which are common to all
the race.

other crest, thus denoting that the fam
lily has fiourished amidst trials and per-
secutions and that it stands out from
the flames of adversely triumphant.
Several notices have been used by
the different branches; of the Douglas
family. "Jamais Arriere"-never be-
hind--is a favor.te one. A Latin mot
to, with similar meaning, is Nun

toes.
AS to the spelling of the family name.
Duglas and Douglass are found as often
as Douglas. Previous to the fifth gen.
GRAFTON, it was Duglas or Duglass-di-
rectly derived from DuGlas.
So romantic are the traditions re-
garding this family that it is not sur
prising to find that one of the first of
the name in this country did not come
over in the usual prosaic way. He
must first be kidnapped in London,
when about IL years old, and brought
over the seas, nolens volens. Thus was
John Douglas, born about 1895, in Scot
land. He was brought to Boston.
Another immigrant ancestor was
William Douglas, who was also born
in Scotland and also settled in Massa-
chusetts. He came over about 1880,
bringing a wife, Ann Matte, and two
cnlldren, Ann ana tRODeTt.
The eccentricity of another Douglas,
Daniel by name, was displayed in a
peculiar manner Instead of pranc-
ing steed to draw his carriage or his
sleigh, he always preferred a meek
and gentle cow-old Brindle, by name
and with this turnout he and his
wife used to, ride around the country,
attracting much attention.
Among the members of the family
especially distinguished are David
Douglas, the botanist, whose name has
been given to a gigantic pine which
he discovered-pinus Douglasii.
Then there was DR.. Charles Doug
las, a physician of repute, who so sue
cessfully prescribed for Polk, when
he was a candidate for the presidency,
so soon putting him on his feet again
that when the statesman became
President of the United States he re-

Torrance who brought forth any ap-
plause. AS the performance progressed
the audience grew smaller until by
the final drop of the curtain there
were far more vacant chairs than there
had been when it first went up. And
this at the Metropolitan Can it be
possible that other performances are
being sacrificed for the one absorbing
"Parsifal" performances this season?
Lucia di Lammermoor" has been
given three times with great interest
and demonstrat ton in the audience,
but Caruso sung in the cast.
If the date can be settled on, Mr.
Julian Walker will sing at the next
artist concert of the Music Club this
season. He has named a date, but one
not satisfactory to the management,
and efforts are now being made to set
tie on a suitable date. The management
could hardly have done better than Sc
lect Mr.. Walker for this concert, as
there are many hundreds of people
here anxious to hear him after he has
made such a big reputation at the
North. A writer from New York who
had just heard him sing says: Il have
heard every singer at the Metropoli-
tan this season and not one of them
can compare with Mr.. Walker except
Plancon, and between him and Walker
I can hardly make up my mind which
1 like the best"
The only obstacle now in the way
of Mr.. Walkers coming here is the
question of a date. He is in such de-
mand throughout the musical section
of the North that this alone has pre-
vented an engagement being made
with him before this.
Caruso was forced to make a fare
well speech in English to his friends at
a farewell dinner in New York just be-
fore his departure. He was absolutely
forced to say something. Standing on
a chair at last, and surveying his
American admirers, he said:
"Gooda mOrneeng, Caruso. Broad

Linguists, like tenors, are born and
