pREs.DENT's ANCESTRY.
~ Mothers. Family Traced TO Beginning
of Seventeenth Century.

From the Chicago Inter Ccean.l
President Roosevelt's mother was q
Miss B,lloch, of Georgia, but few facts
have been published with regard to
her family, for the President cannot
trace it further back than to the Bull
loch who settled in South Carolina at
the beginning of the eighteenth cen
fury.
A distinguished antiquarian who
has been investigating the history of
the family says that the Bullochs came
almost to a man from the little parish
of Baldernoch, Stirlngshre, England,
the registers of which are fairly COM
plete from the beginning Of the sew
enth century down to the present
time.
They ENTHUSIASTICALLY were of Celtic
origin and married for generations in
to highland families. The name orig
inally was Balloch. 1t did not take
the form of Bulloch until the middle
of the eighteenth century, when the
changes in nomenclature affected by
the Jacobite rebellion would seem to
have affected it. In any case tht,
name has nothing to do with the Bul-
loch family, which is quite undistn-
guished in Britain, it's members being
mostly small cotters. weavers or col
liers.
Not one of the family is to be
found at Baldernoch to-day. and
though there are representatives IN
America and Canada. the family man
ifest a tendency to die out mpletely
which seems to show that Mr.. Roose-
welt does not inherit from his mater
nal ancestors his convictions about in
crea sing the race.

Supposin' at then you thot OF your

Who would laff an jeer at you;
What would you do in a case like that,
What do you s'pose you'd do?
Well, well say you'd give it up
An doggedly row ashore,
Declarin at fate was ag'n you so
1t was useless to try no more;
But supposin' you see a man on the
bank
With some bass, say a dozen or two,
An supposin' he'd sell EN- to you fur
song,
Now what do you 'spose you'd do?
Wouldn't you kind O smile at him,
An cautiously look about
Before you reached down in your
clothes
To haul your wallet out:
"A ~

This, you knows. 'twixt me an

Isn't that just tn way you'd act?
Isn't that what you'd do?
An then when down thro' tn streets

Would stop to congratulate you an

The Plea and the Evidence.

Almost any clerk will take his hat in
hand when approaching his employer.
but the native clerk In India Is defer
entail by nature. Tit Bits gives a char
acteristic bit Of baboo English written
by one who wanted a holiday:
"Most Exalted Sir-It Is with most
habitually devout expression Of my
most sensitive respect that l approach
the clemency Of your masterful posi-
ton with the self-dispraising utterance
of my esteem, and the also forgotten
by-myself assurance that in my own
mind | shall be freed from the assump-
ton that l an asking objectionable do
nations If l assert that l desire a short
respite from my exertions-indeed, a
fortnights holiday, as l am suffering
from three boils, as per margin.
81 have the honorable delight of sub
scribing myself your exalted rever-
ence's servitor. X"
Apparently the young man feared
that his humble and touching epistle
would not suffice. In the margin he
had drawn a rough but graphic pic
ture, showing the location Of the three
boils upon his W person.

Font Forget"

Many years ago. writes Thomas Bal
ley Aldrich in "Pongapog Papers," a
noleu Boston publisher used to keep a
large memorandum book on q table In
LIS private Office. The volume always
lay open, and was in no manner a pri-
vate affair, being the receptacle Of
nothing more important than hastily
scrawled reminders to attend to this
thing or the other.
1t CHANGED one day that a very
young, unfiedged author, passing
through the city, looked in upon the
publisher, who was also the editor Of
a famous magazine. The un1edged
had a copy Of verses secreted about
his person. The publisher was absent,
and young Milton sat down and
waited.
Presently his eye fell upon the mem
orandum book, lying there spread out
like a morning newspaper, and almost
in spite of himself he read, Don't for
get to see the binder" Don't forget
to mail E. his contract" Don't forget
HIS proofs" and so forth.
An inspiration seized upon the youth.
He took a pencil, and at the tail of
this long list of don't forgets" he
wrote, Don't forget to accept AS
poem"
He left his manuscript on the table
and disappeared. That afternoon,
when the publisher glanced over his
memoranda, he was not a little aston
ished at the last item; but his sense OF
humor was SO strong that he did &C.
cept the poem-it required a strong
sense Of humor to do that-and SEN
the lau a check for it, although the
verses remain to this day imprinted.

STORY OF STRANGE BATTLE.
Runaway Slaves Resist Attempt to

Runaway Slaves Resist Attempt to
Capture Then by Soldiers.
~,n Aug. "A, 1916, occurred a unique
and but little known battle, in which
within the Spanish boundary, United
States forces, with Indian allies, after
the conclusion of our war with Great
Britain, which we call the war Of
1872, fought against negroes using
British ammunition and having, like
us, Indian allies. says the Chattanooga
Times.
Colonel Nichols, a British command
er, had built on the east bank Of the
Apalachicola River (where Fort Gads-
den afterward stood) a fort for a ref
uge for runaway negroes, that they,
with Indians, might attack the from
tier settlers. 1t was garrisoned with
British and became an Indian rendez-
vous and fugitive negro slaves settled
for some fifty miles along the river,
defying the governments Of Spain and
of our country, but 1t does not appear
that they ever attacked the frontier.
After the war Of 1912 closed the
British withdrew their garrison, but
left the fort In possession Of the ne
groes. These had Indian allies. and q

dence-a college friend Of Hayden,
that mischief began, and 1t began
without delay, for the college friend
recognizing Hayden in the village, in
troduced him to the rectory party, and
Hayden promptly fell in love, gen.
timely this time, with Sybil Dove, the
rector's niece.
1t did not take Kate Moon long,
either, to see her doom.
Hayden, it is true, was a little trou-
bled at first, but that was merely an
noyance with himself for the careless
way in which he had talked love
"desecrated," he called it-but he did
not dream Of the manner in which
Kate would take 1t.
No one but Hayden and Kate her
self knew of that terrible night of re-
elimination when the moon shone
down on the final meeting in DAZZLING
wood.
BY the next night Hayden had left
the village; by the next Sunday Kate
Moon had left the world; she had
drowned herself in the river-the pref
ty river where the trout had fought
shoy of Hayden's rod and line.
And Hayden began that terrible two
years with the sight Of the girl con
stantly before his eyes, in her lilac
gown, with the rose-pink bands about
her waist and hem, and with her last
words in his ears.
"Tell her about me, and see what
she'll say Of your Lowell Tell her, l say
or I'll curse you to your very marriage
day!-aye. to your very deathbed; III
walk and sit and stand between you
and you shall never .bide in peace!."

THE DRAGONS.

Prince Vortigern-so run the ancient tales
A stronghold sought to build in widest Wales;
But some fell power frustrated each essay,
And nightly wrecked the labors of the day;
Till Merlin came, and bade the builders all,
Beneath the escarp'd and many-bastioned wall,
Dig deep; and 10, two dragons, DER whose lair
Nothing secure might rise, lay sleeping there.
Search the foundations, you that build a state,
For II the dragon forms of Wrath and Hate
Lie coiled below. and darkly bide their hour,
Fear walks the rampant, Fear ascends the tower,
And let 1t not content you that they sleep;
Drive them with strong entertainments to the deep.
First OF such charms is Perfect Justice; then
Comes the hearts word that conquers beasts and men
No other craft shall serve-no spells but these
Drive the old dragons to the whelming seas.

A DeplOrable Accident.

An accident occurred in the railroad yards here Monday last which brought to q sudden term ination the earthly career of Nardmaster O. B. Mastick. Just how the accident happened is a mystery. Mr. MaStic had stepped be- tween two cars to couple them, and al most immediately thereafter the en- gineer and his assistant, Tom Simpson and Will Bartlett, saw him jump out from the cars anu fail heavily to the ground. They rushed tO him at once and found him unconscious. He was removed to the depot, only short dis tauce, where he breathed his last. The body was not crushed nor man. gled and for Il time it was thought he had only tainted. No one could realize that he was dead. Doctors were sent for. but before they arrived those pres eut knew that their companion had received his final summons. and that his spirit had gone to meet it's maker. The body was tenderly carried to the rooms of the deceased where an in quest was held. A close investigation showed that rib immediately over the heart had been broken, and the doctors were of the opinion that the rib had been slivered and that piece of the bone had entered the heart. The accident is supposed to have been caused by the iron bar which throws the patent coupler, which struck the body of deceased with sufficient force to break che rib.
 After the inquest the body was turned over 10 Undertaken Pascoe, who prepared it for shipment.
 Deceased has resided in Clifton for about two years. He was a young man of exemplary habits, and had the confidence and respect of the entire community. He was the main sup port of his aged parents, whose hearts vii! be broken by the sad news.
 The body was shipped to Deming Tuesday morning under escort Of Tom Simpson and w. R Wayland. repre- sentatives of the K. P. lodge, and Ellis Williams, an old friend of de- ceased.
 The people of Clifton were deeply grieved over the accident. and their sympathy goes out to the aged par ents. who were so suddenly deprived of noble and worthy son.
