Family Anniversaries.

Thanksgiving and Christmas,
wedding days and birthdays, are
occasions that should never be ne
elected in the life of the family"
writes Margaret Z. Sangster in
Woman's Home Companion for
June. Even though the married
children go far from the early home,
living in widely separated neigh
borhoods, they should make an ef-
fort TO get together at stated inter-
walls, and SO long as their parents
live, the old home, with it's dear
memories, should draw them ike a
magnet otis hearth. Little cousins
ought to know one another and be
acquainted as brothers and sisters
are. When long trips across the
continent involve too great an ex-
pense for frequent visits, there is
always the letter box on the street
corner or the rural free delivery,
and the post may be trusted TO carry
love messages safely from Maine TO
California, or around the circuit Of
the globe. How the mother at home
watches for tidings from her mar
ried children, and how she grieves
when for weeks and months she
never receives q word and feels that
she has dropped out OF the daily
lives Of those for whom she toiled
and saved years ago.
do you owe your mother letter
or visit or a gift. you who are far
away from her now? Do not let the
sun 60 down until you pay that debt
OF love.
do not forget that although we
may have many friends, we can
have but one mother, and that no
friend can be quite so intimate as
she."

As the door closed behind Polly,
Tom looked across at his mother.
How long has this been going
on2" he asked. ''She used to be the
jolliestlittle youngster in the world"
Polly's mother shook her head at
him. although her eyes we're troubl-
ed.
"Dont bs severeon her. Tom, Pol

girl takes growing up right hard.
Just now her sense Of proportion In

hles loom large. but she'll find her,

81 should hope so." Tom replied,
fervently. Upon second thought he
decided to say nothing to his mother
OF the plan he had resolved upon, but
wait his opportunity with Polly. u
came in few days when Polly came
from school tearfully and indignant
oyer her French mark.
"Hisn Z fair. she declared. "Mar-
garet Judson didn' Z do bit better
work than l, yet Margaret had
ninety. six and / only ninety three.
/ do think have the hardest timesl"
she walled.
YES" Tom agreed. 81 think you
do"
Polly looked at him in surprise.
Toms attitude since he came home
had not been sympathetic-that was
one Of the grievances.
Tom pulled q notebook from his
pocket and began 10 read:
Monday was q horrid. dull day,
and your hair wouldn't stay In curl
and everything went wrong-as
things do on rainy days. Tuesday
you went down town aud couldn't

and you had 10 get q homelv old

But Polly interrupted. ''Oh, Tom,

deluge impending. she rushed tum-
ultuously from the room.
"Oh, Tom," the mother remon-
strated, her own eyes full OF tears.

may ~, lSUI.
Among all the shows on the War
Path at the jamestown Exposition
on Hampton Roads, near Norfolk,
Virginia, IL may be safely said that,
while all are good, none will excel
the "1Ol Ranch" Wild West Show.
Much has been written and said of
the wonderful Western production
on the shores OF famous Hampton
Roads. but the half has not been
told. nor could il be comprehended
II told. Ii must be seen 10 be ap-
preciateds To bring the push, vim,
and daredevil escapades of the
plains into the midst of the staid
old, arissocratic East and show them
as they are beyond the Mississippi,
is in itself daring feat.
BY way OF further exploiting this
Wild West Show, Little Wolf' a
full blood Sioux Indian Chief. left
Chicago on horseback Monday morn
ing May 9th. and is no riding to
Washington to extend q personal
invitation to President Roosevelt to
be present at the opening OF the
"lO1 Ranch" Wild West Show In the
afternoon OF May Goth.
There is no wager connected with
the ride. nor are there any particu-
lar plans or rules laid down by
which the Indian must ride or
abide. He is simply to make from
Chicago to Washington City on his
broncho, to meet the President and
extend the invitation. OF course,
being arrayed in the usual para
pherualia of an Indian Chief, he will
attract no little attention en- route.
Colossal in size and interesting
and thrilling from start to finish is
the great "1O1 Ranch Wild West
Show" the c. w. Rex Company has
provided field at the grounds that
is the size of two city blocks, SO that
there will be plenty OF room in
which to give this magnificent exhi-
bition.
An arena to seat Is, 900 people is
a pretty big one. but this is the
capacity Of the grandstand and
bleachers of the lot on Common
wealth avenue west. opposite the Lee
Parade grounds, where three per-
formances will be given each day,
rain or shine, at 2, B and $40
o'clock.
The great buffalo chase is just one
OF the fifty or more features with the
big show. Five hundred COW boys,
cowgirls, Indians and Mexicans en-
gage in this chase.

three generations painted In oil"
constitute man q gentleman aud
make his family On old one In Bos-
ton. Further West the native
sons" Of newer communities become
socially distinguished in their own
generation. The societies Of the
colonial wars, which carry back
their studies for two centuries or
so. are about the limit for American
genealogical research.
In Europe pedigrees are longer.
The proudest aristocrats Of all are
perhaps those OF Rume. The Colon.
na. their deadly rivals the Orsini,
and q few others families prove 10
their own satisfaction O continuous
nobility Of more than a thousand
years. Perhaps the claim would
often be easier TO assail than 20 de-
fend.
No British title goes back nearly
TO the timeof William the Conquerer.
The Dukes of fNorfolk date from 1893,
the Marquises Of Winchester from
1851, the Earls OF Shrewsbury from
l442. the Viscountso of Hereford from
1850, the Scots Earls OF Suther-
land from 1923. Baronies for some
reason are older. The Barons De
Ros and Hastings go back to 1864
and the Irish Baron Kinsale to 1928.
The Baroness Beaumont bears in
her own right title of 1909.
None OF the European royal dvnas-
ties is very ancient. The Russian
Romanoffs date as a prominent family
from 1914. but they married into
royal rank only in 1547. The reign
ing British house is a parvenu, that
OF Italy actually dates from 1870 and
the imperial title in Germany from
1871, though the houses of SAVOY
and Hohenzollern are of course
much older than that. But the first
Hapsburg Emperor was Rudolph l.,
1878, so that luckless old Francis
Joseph of Austria was OF an impe.
rial family almost6 600 years old when
he came TO the throne.
After these short and simple an
nails of the poor upstart kings and
mobiles Of Europe. how ancient seem
the first families of the Eastl
Mutsuhito, Mikado of Japan, is des-
cended lineally from the great J immu
Tenno, who conquered the island
kingdom 1857 years ago. And all
other records are beaten out OF sight
in China, where the Holy Duke. a"
the lineal descendant in the seventy
sixth generation from Confucius
and in the one hundred and forty
first generation from the Emperor
Hohang-ti, reckons back his ances-
try for more than 4, 800 years.
The Holy Duke sets an excellent
example to the proud parvenus of
Western aristocracy. An imperial
decree last year raised Confucius
from the level of the sun and moon
70 the level OF the heavens and earth,
conferred upon his spirit honors OF
the highest grade and, in the effort
to beat back the wave OF modern u
science in China, set aside $75, 900
for the perpetuation of his teachings.
But the head of the oldest family in
the world sensibly urges that con-
fucianism shall be linked with mod.
ern learning.
Our American Lords of Lord and
Marquises of Meat have not always
learned the lesson Of such self deny
ing patriotism.-The New York
World.
