Americans of Gentle Birth Sea ses Ancestors

of England, or defenders of the Crown.
At the coronation of George the " Sir Henry
Dymoke descendant of Sir John, was the cham
pion, and the ceremony Is described by our Am
bassador, Rush, 1S19-25, who was present. At the
coronation banquet the Kings table was set upon
the royal platform. Below were six long tables,
set three on each side at which the peers and peer
esses were seated an aisle down the center. After
all had taken their seats, at the opposite end of
this open space appeared the hereditary champion
of the Crown upon horseback, red tufts and plumes
noddng from his helmet and the head trappings
of his horse He was attended by Howard of
Efingham and the Duke of Wellington. Abreast,
the three rode slowly up the aisle until they
reached the platform on which the King was
seated Here they halted, and the champion, ad-
vancing, clad in heavy armor, received from his
sovereign cup from which he drank his health,
lenge, the Herald speaking for the champion, cry
ing in loud voice:
"If any person, of what degree soever high
low shall deny, or gainsay our Sovereign Lord.
King George the Fourth Of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the
Faith son and next heir to Sovereign Lord.
King George, the Third, the last King, deceased to
be right heir to the Imperial Crown of the United
Kingdom, that he ought not to enjoy the same.
here is his champion who saith that he lieth, and
is false traitor; being ready in person to combat
with him, and in quarrel will adventure his life
against him, what day soever he shall be ap-

The last echo of the chapel bell died away in
the beautiful Sewaunee woods as the grammar
school boys blue uniformed, marched up the aisle
and took their places in front of choir and chancel
The chapel despite the fact that it was the
first day of August, we'll filled, for, after the
morning service the graduating class would be
admitted to the University of the South. Those
who had for three years lived under the quiet
discipline of the dormtory were today to come
forth as Juniors begin the strife for the coveted
cap and gown.
The beautiful service was said the choir boys
responded with solemn chant. Medals were award
ed and Bishop Sessums of New Orleans addressed
the class Then the names of those who were
to be admitted to the University were read, and
the chapel service ended.
In a moment the solemnity of the surroundings
was forgotten and gownsmen, visiting bishops and
summer girls rushed for the doors. Dignity was
left behind for the most thrilling event of COM
mencement week about to take place. Hitherto
no fraternity could approach the fifteen candi
dates for graduation. There were boys among
them that any Of the fraternities would have been
proud to claim and much depended on the work
of the next few minutes
The crowd surged out of the campus gates and
down the street to the common between the supply
store and the grammar school dormitory. There
was excitement in the air.
The class marched down the walk to the steady
"hep hep" of their colonel. When they had
reached the common there was command to halt

Origin Of the Royal House Of Britain.

From the Gwynns can be directly traced the
royal descent of the Princes of Wales, and II so,
the kingy lines of many of the royal houses of Eu-
rope since the descendants of Queen Victoria sit
upon many thrones.
An interesting fact in connection with this line
Zone which seems to be undisputed) is that Queen
Victoria was firm believer that she was linea
descendant of the House of David. holding that In
her royal person the fulflment of the proph-
ecy jeremiah xxx chapter verse II; David shall
never want man to sit upon the throne OF the
House of Israel" Not the Jews, for long before
the coming of Christ there had been division in
the House of Israel, and two kings, one king OF
the Jews representing two tribes, the other king
of Israel representing ten tribes.
In pursuance of this belief, it is said that when
the infant son of George, Prince of Wales, was
christened she added to his names Edward, Albert
Christian George, Andrew, Patrick the name of
David Whatever may have been the reason, so
It stands upon the record, and who may say but
some day David may be crowned king of England
upon the same stone which is said to have been the
pillow upon which Jacob dreamed; the stone upon
which David and all the kings of Israel have been
crowned.
It will therefore be interesting in following the
nedigree of the Gwynn's to return to Lear, father
of "Bran the Blessed" and note that his wife,
Penardim. was the daughter of Anna, first cousin
of the Virgin Mary. Anna being the daughter OF
Joseph of Arimathes, whose brother, He'll, was he
father of Mary. Heli's wife being Anna descended
lineally from Aaron. through Joiado Joseph and
He'll we're sons of Matthat lineally descended from
Aaron and both Nathan and Solomon, sons OF Da-
vid.

"WHO STOLE THAT BILLw

An anonymous circular sent broad
cast over the state in the interest
of Crawford's candidacy contains the
following:
"Mr. Kittredge made his entree In
state politics in the legislative ses-
sion of 1890, when he was present
as a senator from Minnehaha county
and organized the legislature. A rail-
road bill was introduced at that SEES
sion and was stolen from the files.
Who stole that biil?"
II is a natural inference that the
fellow who stole that bill was APP
prehensive that the legislature would
enact it into law.
In the session of the territorial coun-
ell the previous year, Mr.. Crawford
opposed the double damage liability
bill. opposed the antitrust bill, and
favored the gross-earnings law, in
which position he was but sustaining
the efforts of the notorious and expen-
siye railroad lobby.
Mr.. Crawford was also member
of the state legislature Of 1890 and
again voted against the antitrust bill,
Mr.. Kittredge voting for it. 1t became
a law.
During this same session 1.-THE year
that the bill was "stolen") Mr.. Craw-
ford made the motion to put to sleep
the memorial to congress to elect
United States senators by direct
vote of the people.
Perhaps Mr.. Crawford could answer
the question. "Who stole that bill?"

Postal Savings Banks.

1t can be said without question
that the small ancient politician who
rules the house of representatives at
Washington is retarding the remedial
and constructive legislation, and
through it the progress of the country,
more than war or pestilence. Con-
gress is desirous of extending the ben
efits of parcels posts and postal saw
ings banks to the entire country. Mil
lions of people want them, need them.
A few express companies and few
small shop keepers oppose them. If
there ever was question where the
greatest good of the greatest number
was concerned this is one, for the
majority to be benefited is over
whelming at least a hundred to one.
Moreover, the National government
would be benefited for it would make
the national postal system self-sus-
staining while, as it is, it cost the
country over $15,O00,000 a year. 1t
is humiliating to think that this
country, loudly proclaiming itself the
most progressive in the world, is pre-
vented by it's misrepresentation gov
ernment from having improvements
long enjoyed by the monarchies
of Europe, and of some peoples
in Asia, Africa and South America.

A Persian Romance.

A Persian plaque in the South Ken
sington museum, London, bears by
means of clever relief and brilliant
color a romantic tale, part legend and
part history. Nobody knows the pro-
portion Of each.
At all events it is declared to be an
incident in the life Of Baharam V. OF
the Sassanian dynasty. Baharam, ac-
cording to legend and plaque, was a
wonderful archer. During one of his
hunting expeditions, on which his ia
vorite wife had accompanied him, he
shot q sleeping antelope with such pre-
cision as to Craze the animals ear.
The antelope awoke and, believing him.
self annoyed by fly, put his hind
hoof to his ear to strike off the fly. A
second arrow sent by the royal hand
fixed the antelope's hoof to his horn.
The kings wife merely said, "Prac-
tice makes perfect" which touched
the pride Of her royal spouse.
Indeed, as the penalty for her plain
speaking she was sent out into the
mountains to perish, but instead found
shelter in a village. Here she lodged
in an upper room ascended by twenty
steps and, having bought calf, car
ried it up and down every day. The
king, passing by four years later, was
amazed at seeing a young woman car
rying a cow up fight OF twenty
steps. The lady again took occasion to
remark, practice makes perfect
whereupon she unveiled, was recogniz'
ed and restored to favor.

Modern Development.

The greatest peaceable migratory
movement of the world rose higher in
the first quarter of last year than it
had ever done before in recorded his
tory. One of the important facts then
overlooked was the back flow, going
on in connection with it to such an eX-
tent that in the first quarter of 1907
97,731 immigrants returned to Europe
from the single port of New York.
This was off set then by arrivals OF
more than four to one for every de-
parture, while during the same period
this year from the same port there
are $4,000 departures, or almost two
departures reported for every arrival.
Aside from causes we'll understood
as a result of temporary conditions,
this movement forward and back
around the world has features of per-
manence which belong to the develop
ment of cheap and rapid transit in the
recent past between country and coun-
try. The first class ocean steamer,
which carries 5000 persons across the
Atlantic in five days, offers it's most
exclusive passengers suites of rooms
at $500 up, with rates almost nominal
for those who do not pay to be exempt
from crowding. This change makes
it possible now for the thrift of those
who have been counted only as "popu-
lation" in different countries to do
more in deciding their own fortunes
than ever before in history. He is no
longer marooned by the rising tide of
immigration. AS one of the results of
progress in steam and electricity, he
has choice in the final decision of his
own fate he never had before. He es-
capes from statistical totals into a
freedom of choice which lately belong
ed only to a comparatively small class
of those who were able to afford it.

DOUBTFUL STATES in 1908.
Will Be More Numerous Than for the
Last Twelve Years.

Are the Republican leaders aware
that several of the States which they
have been carrying in recent Presi-
Dental years can easily be made very
doubtful in 1908? Are they aware
that some of them are pursuing pol
icy which is admirably calculated not
only to make those States doubtful,
but to send them over to the Demo-
cracy? Whether they are aware of
these things or not, the things are
here. The course which some of the
Republican leaders are pursuing
would, if sanctioned by the Chicago
convention, endanger Republican SUI
premacy in New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana,
and several other States which have
been giving their electoral votes to the
Republicans continuously for many
years, and some of which, like Ohio,
have been Republican in Presidential
canvasses from Fremont's time to
RooseveltS.
Let the Republican campaign man
ayers remember that the majorities
in New York in 1896, 1900 and 1904
were abnormal, and could not be re-
peated in 1908 even under the best
possible conditions for the party.
Previous to 1896 the State had been
swinging from one party to the other,
in successive Presidential campaigns,
for over a quarter of century. Con-
necticut and Indiana had been very
uncertain in those days also, while
New Jersey had usually been Demo-
cratic.
Let them also bear in mind that in
1892, in Mr. Cleveland's second cleo
ton, not only did New York, New Jer-
sey Connecticut, and Indiana go DEM
ocratic, but the Democrats carried
such stalwart Republican States as
Illinois and Wisconsin, while the
swing of 600 votes from the Republi-
can to the Democratic side would
have given Ohio to that party. Cleve-
land secured one of Ohio's electoral
votes. And the Republican candidate
of that year, Gen. Harrison, was ma
tive of Ohio and resident of Indiana.
If the Republican campaign man.
ayers imagine that any man who could
be nominated at Chicago would be
sure to carry the country, they are
| living in a fools paradise, and the
quicker they get out of it the better
it will be for them and for the Repub-
| lican party.

He Carries His Top Soil With Him
When He Moves.
The modern farmer was applying
electrical massage to a cart horses
sprained knee. During the intervals
of rest he talked farm talk.
"There are tenants" he said, "who,
when they move, carry their farms
with them as the tortoise does his
house. These people are the Norman
French, the worlds best farmers.
Where you or I would require twenty
or thirty acres Of land to keep one fam
lily, the French farmer will keep his
family on a quarter Of an acre. If he
chose to cultivate twenty or thirty
acres he would become millionaire.
His secret lies in the perfection to
which he brings his top soil. What
with fertilizing and watering and clear
ing, his top soil is the blacklist, finest
richest soil on earth. His top soil Is
to the French farmer what her voice
is to a prima donna. And when he
rents he contracts that on the termina-
