Mrs. Levi p. Morton has decided
that life at the national capial lacks
the flavor of yore. After spending
several thousand dollars having the
mansion on Rhode Island avenue re-
modelled, she has turned II over to the
secretary of state and will divide the
winter between southern Italy, Spain
and New York.
No residence in Washington has a
more brilliant social history than the
Mortons. Built by Alexander Graham
Bell, the inventor, 1t was purchased
by Mr.. Morton when vice president.
He pronounced II the most elegant and
commodlous house in Washington.
1t was afterward the scene OF the
wonderful triumphs Of Countess Mar
guerite Cassini and Of the deplorable
failure of her foster father, Count Cas-
SIM, the Russian ambassador, in the
diplomacy relating to the Russo-Japa'
nese war.
Mrs. Morton occupied her home for
tie greater part of last season and re-
celved the homage Of all society, from

daughter, formerly Duchess de Valen.

pronounced by Sir Mlrtimer Durand as

'The Seaton Family"

And now comes ]. G. Seaton, print
er, slider, homesteader, and who
worked the greater part Of two years
on the first paper published in abb
lene-requesting us to publish the
following clipped from the Jewell
County Republican. He says the
reasons for belonging to this Seaton
family are that couple years ago he
slept with Mr.. o. A. Seaton in the
city Of Abilene.
We were certainly pleased to have
the privilege Of examining an elegant
new book this week that was written
by a Jewell City man-Mr. o. A.
Seaton. The title Of the book is '.The
Seaton Family" The family lineage
is brought down from the 18th CEN
fury, and we doubt If there is family
in the United States whose record is
more complete. The Seatons are
really an illustrious family and were
prominently distinguished in Scot
fish and English history for over 900
years, and it includes within its
circles knights, lords, archbishops,
earls and many other noblemen.
The Seaton coat Of arms occupies one
page of the book. Mr.. Seaton COM
piled this work and indexed every
name that appears in the book, as
recreation. He kept his typewriter
ready in his grain Office, and whenever
he had a moment to spare he turned
to his book. 1t was the work of years
and we congratulate him upon the
successful outcome. 1t is a work
that will certainly be highly priced
BY all whose family history is there
recorded, and the older it grows the
more valuable it will become.
