English
Ancestors OF
Washington
BY ARTHUR JAMES JAMES

WN the beautiful county of North
81 ampton, England, stand two an
cient dwellings, one 800 years old,
the other 400, and they are practi-
cally unchanged in appearance from
the time when they were built. To
them the American tourist turns as to
a shrine. In these houses once lived
certain W%ashingtons, ancestors of the
immortal George. The older of the two,
Sulgraye Manor, was granted to one
Lawrence Washington by Henry VIII.
for conspicuous services to the crown.
Here Lawrence Washington lived like
an English gentleman, and his son Rob
ert after him, until an i'll turn of the
wheel of fortune compelled him t0f)art
with his patrimony and move to the
unpretentious cottage at Little Bring
ton, which is known to this day as the
Washington house.
Lawrence Washington's bones lie in
Sulgrave church, where are the famous
Washington brasses. One of these bears
the Washington arms, two red bars
with three stars upon a silver ground,
ITOIl WHICH OuI OWL stdlS anu otilDcS
are believed to be descended. Another
represents Lawrence Washington, a
third his wife AIMEE, others their sons
and daughters weeping. To the house
in Little Brington Robert Washington
took his two sons, Lawrence and Rob-
ert Junior. There Lawrence died, and,
with his widow and her little son, an
other Lawrence, the elder Robert went
to London, leaving the homestead to
his second son. Robert junior married
Elizabeth Butler, and they lived happi-
ly together at Little Brington until
1922, when they died within nine days
of each other and We're buried side by
side in the Church of st. Mary the Vir-
gin in Great Brington.
The Washington house is now occu-
pied by working people. On a sundial
in the back yard are engraved the
Washington arms, the initial II. ". and
the date 1919.
After the death of Robert Washing
ton and his wife the widow of his
brother Lawrence occupied the house
at Little Brington with her son Law.

Sweet Simplicity.

Away with turmoil. care and strife;
Away with vulgar show,
And let me lead the simple life
Down where the lilies grow.
with naught to do the livelong day
But cut off coupons n be gay.
A house with four and twenty rooms,
A stable not too mean
And one or two good Steady grooms
TO keep the horses clean,
Some girls to cook and sweep the hoor-
What could q fellow ask for more?
A life of splendor and display
To me does not appeal.
/ want no snowy grand array
OF %broadcloth, silk and e
For Just one suit of clothes | stand
One at a time, you understand,
And | would live the selfsame way
On simple. modest board.
just give me three square meals a day.
For. though | could afford
A dozen or perhaps a score,
I'd lust eat three or maybe four.
This is the simple life I'd lead;
Tie others too complex;
And get what exercise I'd need
Perhaps in signing checks.
For lust one thing l hesitate,
And that is cash to pay the freight.

From a Small Beginning.

Little did the neighbors think as they
made sarcastic remarks about Ben
Franklin not knowing enough to come
in out of the rain when they saw him
flying his kite during a thunderstorm
that he was doing something that
would make people keep on celebrating
his birthday maybe forever.
This teaches us that we never can
tell what a mans motive may be when
we see him standing in the rain. He
may be making some great discovery
that will send his name down the ages,
it may be that for some reason it is
more comfortable there for him than
al home, or he may be trying some
freak cure for the ills of the flesh.
1t also teaches us never to call a
man a crank because we do not under
stand what he is doing, for it may be
that his memory will be kept green
and that they will be naming cigars
after him long after we are forgotten.

ToN,
renee, q clergyman. In 1850 mother
and son died and were buried in the
family vault in the Church of st. Mary
the Virgin. Two Sons of the Reverend
Lawrence, John and Lawrence junior,
emigrated to Virginia.
John was a soldier, u legislator, a
magistrate and Il member of the house
of burgesses. AS colonel of militia he
ravaged the country of the hostile In
dams, and when his great-grandson
George appeared on the frontier he
was hailed by the savages as "Conota-
carius'' destroyer Of villages) in re-
%membrance of his ancestors deeds.
Colonel John Washington had Il son
Lawrence, who Ciel at an early age
in 1867, leaving Two sons, JOHN and
Augustine. 1t was tho late. of these
who, by his second wife, Mary Ball,
baceme the father OF the Father of His
Country.
Although George Washington wrote
that the history of his ancestors was,
in his opinion, "of very little moment"
Lawrence Washington Of Sulgrnyc
Manor had been mayor of Northamp-
ton before he received the grant from
the king and two of his sons were
knighted.
Still farther back the lineage of the
Washingtons has been traced to Will
liam de Hertburn, lord of the manor of
Wessyngton, in Durham county, in the
fourteenth century. This worthy Nor
man followed the custom of the times
and adopted as a the name Of
his estate. The name went through
various changes, the %seignioral de was
dropped, Wessyngton became Wasting
ton, Washington, and finally Washing
ton, by the time of John Washington
of Warrior, Lancashire, father of Law
renee of Sulgrave and the immediate
ancestor of the liberator.

BOLT CARRIES DISASTER
Five Killed and a Score Hurt When
Lightning Hits Ball Field.

MOBILE, Ala, May 2S.-During a
ball game in an open field three miles
from this city yesterday afternoon a
thunderstorm came up, accompanied by
vivid lightning, which struck in the
midst of a crowd of spectators, in
stantly killing five and injuring some
twenty-five more or less seriously.
The dead are: Donald Touart, aged
t%wenty-one; his brother, Steven Tou-
art, aged nineteen; Arthur Moody,
aged nineteen, and two negroes, John
Green and Charles Thomas.
The seriously injured were John Yo-
kers and Fred Johnson. Among the
painfully injured were Fred Burch,
Joe Dolbear and George Cleveland.
At least fifteen or twenty others were
shocked and knocked down by the
stroke, who quickly recovered and
were able to leave the scene. The
field was strewn with bits of shoes and
clothing from those who were killed
or seriously injured, and the bodies of
the dead presented a terrible spectacle,
being burned in numerous places. A
silver dollar taken from the pocket Of
n of the victims was melted on both
sides.
