Booth Family

Bottle, Boothe, la Boothe, de
Boobies, de la Boothe, Bouthe are old
forms of the name Booth. "The dis
tinguished Booth family" Is the refer
ence in one record.
The name Booth was assumed by
those who possessed the 'lordship OF
Boothes," in Lancashire. Adam de
Boothes Of the county palatine Lam
caster, thirteenth century, is perhaps
the first of the name Of whom any rec
ords exist. He was descended OF a
Norman family of rank that went over
with the Conqueror. The people who
didn't 60 over with William the Nor
man, or came over in the Mayflower,
have much to answer for. However,
we need not give pause to this matter,
but leave It to descendants who feel
aggrieved by lack Of foresight upon
their ancestors part. The derivation
of the name Booth is from bowes,
meaning a house, or temporary build
Ing-a booth.
In low Latin, the word is botha.
The original county palatines Of
England, it may be mentioned, were
three only-Lancaster, Cheshire and
Durham. We find that the Booths were
important people, and married into
the best circles" William de BOTTLES
married Sibill or Sybll, daughter OF
Gilbert de Brereton, Of the ancient
family of Chester, the capital OF
Cheshire. OF Sir John Booth, the
sixth In descent from Adam de
Boobies. we know that he had IS
children and two wives. A brave
man! It was Sir Felix Booth who Mt
ted out the Ross arctic expedition, and
in whose honor Capt Sir James Ross
named a peninsula Of the North Amer"
lean coast, Felix Boothia."

ehrewd scheme Stopped Run.

Many years ago, in consequence Of
q commercial panic, there was severe
run on a bank in South Wales, ana
the small farmers jostled each other
in crowds to draw out their money.
Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse. when the bank manager, in
q at Of desperation, suddenly be-
thought him of an expedient. BY his
directions, clerk, having heated some
sovereigns in a frying pan. paid them
over the counter to an anxious appli-

the latter rs he took them up. "of

could you expect? They are only just
out of the mold. We are coming them
by hundreds as fast as we can"
Coming them!" thought the simple
sagriculturists; then there is no fear
of the money running Short" With
this their confidence revived, the pan
&c abated, and the bank was enabled
TO weather the storm.

"Mrs. Nation has asked that we re-

She has agreed to pay us for what re-

made at the home and at present the

Mrs. Nation wishes the home re-
