II. But enough of them attain rank
and place to hold their families in
distinctive position. and we have pre-
sented to our social life two phases
of persistently recruited aristocracy-
the army and the navy.
II is quite reasonable that admirals
should beget captains and that gener-
ais should be the stem upon which
colonels and majors grow: but in our
American service they bud perenni-
ally. Not infrequently they give new
luster TO the family tree. more often
they do not. and like limbs OF a
great oak whose stock is established.
they are only branches whose source
OF existence is the splendid trunk that
holds them up.
The civil war broke up many lines
that had been previously maintained.
among them the Perrys. who gave two
distinguished admirals, from Rhode
Island-Oliver Hazard Perry and his
brother, William c. Perry. who
carried our flag with honor to Japan.
Each had sons who followed their dis.

$4,000 FOR A BOOK,
Early Edition Of Shakespeare Brought
Fancy Price.

Nearly a quarter Of century ago
John Loveday. well-known biblio
phlle of England. announced to the
literary world that. in examining a
dark corner Of his library, he found
little brown volume hidden behind two
rows OF books. He opened It. and saw
that the title Of the first work in It
was poem by James Gresham. print
ed In 1926, on a cenci theme. At first
he thought that the book had better
be put on the fire. but on turning over
a few leaves he espied the title Of the
second poem, The Passionate Pill
CRIME: or Certain Amorous Sonnets
Between Venus and Adonis," being the
third edition, published by William
Jaggard in 1912. There were also "The
Mirror Of Martyrs" 1901: The Kings

ser's "Britain's Ida" 1923; and John
Marston's The scourge Of villanle"
1883.
The value Of teh little volume, how.
ever, lies In the Shakespearean poem,
and although this Is Of the third edi.
tion, It is believed that only one other
copy of that edition is extant-the
specimen in the Bodleian. The second
edition is apparently lost. OF the
first, two copies are known, one hav.
ing been found in a garret at Sir
Charles Isham's house. For some time
many collectors have been angling for
this little volume. and now the book
has been sold for $4,000. It is almost
unnecessary to add that the find has
gone to America. where the $3.50

Report That Colorado Curiosity was

It has been persistently rumored for
several years past that the famous
Mount of the Holy Cross in Colorado
had been robbed OF its distinction be-
cause of a rock Side which was sup
posed to have destroyed one Of the
arms Of the cross, or rather filed up
one of the transverse canyons which
had served as part of the holy SYM
