AMERICAN MOBILITY"
WILL SOON BE CATALoGUER BY
A BRITISH EXPERT.
Son of Compiler of "Burke's Peeraee"
Finds That Real Name of Our
President Is "Van
Roosevelt"

London.-"Prominent Families OF
the United States of America" is the
title of a book soon to be published
by Arthur Meredith Burke, son of the
late Sir Bernard Burke, compiler OF
"Burke's Peerage," and other works
on the ancestry of Great Britain's IN.
titled land wners.
Armorial bearings in plenty are to
appear in the book, the title page OF
which will bear the coat of arms of
Washington.
One of the specimen pages is de-
voted to the history of the Roosevelt
family, and its coat of arms. The
earliest recorded ancestor of the pres
ident, Claes Martenzen Van Rosen.
welt, emigrated from Zealand in Hol'
land to the New Netherlands in 1649.
The progency of this man is shown to
have figured prominently in the mill
tary and civil history of New York,
eliminating in the particularly strenu.
Gus and brilliant career Of Theodore.
The facts for the Roosevelt history
we're furnished to Mr.. Burke by Mrs.
Roosevelt after considerable CORE
spondence.
81 cannot yet say" said Mr.. Burke,
how many families will be represent
ed in my compilation, but 1t will be the
most complete and authoritative work
on American genealogy ever attempt
ed. 1t will be published in a few
months, and no family will be admitted
except on its merits. Leading Ameri
cans have been engaged for several
years in tracing their lineage, and the
results of their investigation have been
submitted to me for ~verification. IT
has been an infinitely difficult and la
borious task, but very fascinating.
When my grandfather started 'Burke's
Peerage" he had complete official rec
ords to go on. I must search out the
necessary facts in parish and other
local records of nonconformist associa'
lions, in family papers and scattered
collections of manuscripts in Great
Britain, ireland and America.
The facts show that when English
men and other Europeans sheer at the
efforts of Americans to establish pedi
grees they display not only discourtesy
but ignorance. The lineages of the
leading American families bring to the
investigator extraordinary men and
women at every turn, and prove that
these families are proud and Jealous oil
their virtues and deeds, and are care
full not to marry beneath their level
The persistence of lines of distinction
can be discerned right through the SO.
cial history of America.
While the Americans who are trac'
ing out and authenticating their an.
cestry are not actuated primarily by a
desire to create an American aristo.
cratic class, they are in reality defining
what the world is bound to recognize
as an American ar%istocraoy."

Must Pay Former Love.

Media, Pa.-The $4,000 verdict given
pretty Miss Leonora Hill, of Chester,
in her breach of promise suit against
Horace Witsil, the real estate dealer,
has been sustained by Judge Johnson.
This suit has been pending for two
years. Miss Hill was wooed by Witsil
for a number of years, according to
her story, and had gone so far as to
purchase her wedding dress and spend
her time in making articles to make
their home comfortable after the mar
riage. Without her knowledge Witsil
married another estimable lady, and
Miss Hill brought suit. She was rep
resented by n of the ablest lawyers
in the county, and his unmerciful
scoring of Witsil during the trial was
one of the reasons for which a new
trial was asked.

DOG JOURNEYS 500 MILES.
Animal Travels from Nebraska to Old
Home In Iowa.

Des Moines, Ia.-Thin and gaunt, and
with no other instinct to guide him
save the memory of a warm kennel,
good food and an occasional caress, a
little Scotch collie dog sold to a man
at Valentine, Neb., by ID. Weeks. Of
this city, returned 500 miles to its for
mer master in Des Moines. So wabbly
and weak was the dog that had 1t not
been for a glad light of recognition
that sprang into his eyes as his for
mer master opened the door, he might
have been driven from the premises.
Just how long the dog was making
the distance has not yet been ascer-
tanned, but with unerring instinct he
made his way over hill and prairie,
through timber and across rivers, final
ly arriving in Des Moines, where he
was given a hearty welcome, a warm
kennel and a hot bowl of milk for a
starter.
Five weeks before a man from Val
entine, Neo., saw the collie, bought
him and took 1t back with him to Val
entine.
After the collie left his new home
he was seen at Fremont, Neb., where
some boys threw stones at him while
he was stealing a meal from a back
door. This was the report until he
appeared in Des Moines.
Mr.. Weeks was awakened by a slight
scratching at the front door. On open
ing it he saw a shaggy, thin, dirty
little collie, and from his actions at
first judged he was mad. He soon
recognized his former pet, however,
and declares he would not now part
with the animal for twice its value.

When Friends Are Needed.

The late Thomas Coldwell, inventor
of the lawn mower, was noted in New
burg for his charity. A citizen of
Newburg once stole some money. He
was bitterly attacked in consequence.
But Mr.. Coldwell stood by him and
to a certain man who was maligning
him he said one day: You, l see,
are a fair-weather friend, George.
Well, you are not singular there.
Most friends are like you. There was
a man who said to a convict: Always
do right and your friends will stand
by you
Yes the convict answered bitter.

It'S better than any Stringless Bean that you can get today-unless you have the run of ahothouse.

 To some minds, a can of Vegeta- bles that the whole family will eat up and enjoyis a betterinvestment, from any point of view, than an article that comes on the table only to be criticised and pecked at.
