daughter of Arthur Arlington, must have been born in Virginia, before the removal of the family to North Caro- | lima.
 | Of John Arlington, son of Arthur. | we know that he married Mrs. Mann and had two sons, one of whom Samuel L. Arlington. moved to Alabama in 1852. The other. Archibald H. Airing ton. was twice a member of the United States Congress and later of the Con- feGerate Congress.
 MANN-"Alabama Memorial Record. states that Thomas N. Mann. stepsou of John Arlington. was a distinguished lawyer, a member of the North Carolina Legislature and was sent by President Mcnroe as Minister to Central America On his way he died at Hampton Roads.

 ARRINGTON-From Wheeler's His tcry of North Carolina, we find that William Arlington was a member of the General Assembly from Nash Coun- ty. North Carolina. in 1796. John Arr rington was in the North Carolina Sem ate, 179s to 1907 Winiams Arlington ana SamueI L.. ATTlHBlon m Senate or North Carolina at different times from 1888 to 1S43. In 17s0 Joseph Airing ton, House of Commons. All of these Arringtons seemed to be from Nash County. The Memoir" attached to Poems" by Alfred W. Arlington was written by Leora L. Arlington. It states: Alfred w. Arlington was born in Iredell County, North Carolina. September 17, 1S1o. His father, also a North Carolinian. was a Methodist minister of fervent piety and much natural eloquence. His grandfather, born upon the same soil. was distin- guished in that region for his scholar ship as well patriotism; he served in the war of 1912. The great-grand- father of Judge Arlington and the head of the family in America, was an Eng fish soldier. who held Majors com mission in the British army. He came to America with troops during our revolution to fight for King George, and did not return again to England. but purchased a large estate in North Carolina, upon which he afterwards resided The mother of Alfred w. Ar rington was a native of the same State, but of Highland Scotch origin. The family name was Moore. They were Covenanters and doubtless left Scotland, the victim of religious perse- cution." Alfred w. Arlington was admitted to the bar in Missouri in 1885; elected judge in Texas in 1S49; died 1867. D. c. l..
 We thank D. c. [. for her persever- ing search for the records of the Ar rington family. The writer of the Memoir has surely made a mistake in her assertion that the great grand father of a man born in 1910 came to this country during the American Revolution with troops to fight for the King. We would rather expect him to be too aged to take part in a strug- gle which began, as the North Caroli- nians claim, with the battle of Ala nance in 1771, and which according to the New Englanders began at Lexig- ton in 1775 Alfred W. Arlington must have belonged to another Airing ton family than that from which sprung General William Arlington, or Mrs Elijah Clarke

 ARRINGTON-The Memorial Record of Alabama" states that the ancestors of the Arrlngtons came originally from England, settling first in Southampton County, Va, and removing to North Carolina in 1764 in the person of two brothers, Arthur and Joseph. Arthur Arrington's son. John Arlington, was for many years a member of the North Carolina Legislature and also a mem Der of the convention of 1886 that re- vised the Constitution of that State According to the information given by "P" Gen. William Arlington was also a son of Arthur Arlington and Hannah Arlington, wife of General Clarke, may have been his daughter. Since Arthur Arlington moved into North Carolina in 1764 1t Is probable that he, as well as his son William. was in the Revolu- tion. Hannah Arlington was born In 1iS7, since she was 90 years old at the tina of har death in 1a27- and if

bravery and unselfishness aroused the interest of all classes. The nobility sought her and made efforts to soften the indignation of the government. I The Prince of Wales. the father of George III, visited her In prison and
 procured her release. The King asked
 her how she dared to succor the ene-

 replied Tt was no more than I would

Don aid Mcdonald, to whom an oath of all legiance was no little thing. called up- on his people to remember theirs to George III, and to assist the royal Gov ernor in putting down the rebellion. The result was the battle of Moore's Creek into which the McDonalds marched with bagpipes playing the na- tionaI strains of Caledonia. Donald Mcdonald was too i'll to take part in the engagement.

Before his death the Hon. W. F.. Clarke, Judge of the First Judicial Cir cult of Alabama, wrote for the pleas ure and instruction of his family a very remarkable autobiographical sketch. It's didactic force is perhaps more than equal to the writer's inten- tion. for 1t is the product of person. ality strikingly free from sef-con- seriousness and the moral of his story (which he who runs may read if he run in the right direction and carries with him the interpreting media of a mind and a heart) Is always implied and never expressed.
 The pleasure derived from this story from real life" is to the student of character of unstinted measure. For in it is found the action of mind keen. bold. incisive and decisive; the revelation of a heart frank. fearless and loving: the construction of char ,acter proud. reserved, sensitive and truthful: of unfailing honor, of un-

A TACTFUl-
The Way She Gave James u Lesson
In Table EtiQuette.

They were an engaged young couple
and were having quiet dinner while
the band played alluring music. The
girl was sweet and refined looking and
the man big and strong. Her manners
were perfect, but his left much to be
desired as far as etiquette is concern
ed. After they had finished their meal
an interested observer noticed that the
big, wholesome man placed his knife
and fork like the crossbones under the
skull With a blush the girl, whose
own implements were placed correctly
side by side, noticed the break.
James, she said, with quick tact,
looking all around among the tables,
s'did you ever notice that men and wo
men eat differently? When man fin
ishes a meal he always places his knife
and fork across each other, while a
woman invariably places them side by
side. Its funny, but I've often noticed
it,

Jack Sheppard as 81 Text.

Jack Sheppard had a great hold upon
the imagination of the people Of his
time The fact that 100000 people wit
messed his execution at Tyburn on
Nov IS, 1924, upon the tree that bears
twelve times yeare' is some witness
to his grim popularity. But one Of the
strangest tributes ever paid him was
the sermon preached upon him in a
London church.
"Oh, that We were all like Jack Shep-
pardr' began the preacher, to the stu
pefaction Of his congregation. He went
on to draw parallel between things
of the flesh and those of the soul and
to point out that the genius shown in
housebreaking might have been be-
slowed upon picking the locks of the
heart with the nail Of repentance.'

A spot practically unknown to CIV

NOTES FROM STAGELAND

Judging by the remarkably large ad-
vance sale for the Sothern- Marlowe COM
pany's engagement at the Providence op-
era house, It looks very much as II II
will be q record-breaker i'm the way OF re-
ceipts. Mr.. sothern and Miss Marlowo
arc tho only artists i'm this country who
are devoting their entire attention TO
Shakesperian plays: and Charles Froh-
man Is backing their ambition with tho
most magnificent productions ever seen
on the American stage Even the splen-
did ones that playgoers were wont TO ex-
pect from the late Sir Henry Irving have,
II is said, been surpassed. But Mr..
sothern and Miss Marowo have not in
duged i'm an cxtravagant scenic display
for the mere sake OF the display itself.
They have been guided solely by the
texts OF Shakespeare, and they have CIV
on way TO nothing that would detract
from the beauty OF the authors works.
AS a matter OF fact. Judging by recent
expressions from the two artists, one OF
their chief desires Is 10 use scenery of
the simplest description. so that the
plays and the manner In which they are
acted shall be the only inducements Of
fered 10 the public.
