It was biting. icy wind. climbed higher and higher as I went along. This I did purposely, for by climbing, two objects were accomplished. One was to make as much speed as possi- ble, of course. By slanting upward, by going against the wind, 1t was ap- parent that much of It's deterring force Is broken.
 "The other reason was that I had made up my mind that to win I must travel directly over the city of Brook lyn. I knew there was danger in this. Every airman knows the strange and treacherous air currents created by a big settlement of buildings. The high CT up I was the better I could escape these whirling, twisting currents and the less the danger, for if anything happened to the engine I would have the greater opportunity to glide and manipulate the planes until I might discover some park or open place in which to effect safe landing or at least landing of less peril to my life.
 Tt is hard for people generally per haps to understand that with us avia- tors, the higher up we are the safer we feel. If you start to fall near the ground you have little chance to save yourself. But from far above you have many chances of fighting your plane.'
 Moissant Is indignant at the prospect of Grahame- White and de Lesseps be- ing allowed to compete again tomor- row. He won today. he contended, and even if the rules leave the contest open to any aviator during certain hours of any day of the meet he holds he has eliminated his rivals of today.
 "If they let Grahame White have another chance" declared Moissant, "I shall demand that the meet be extended further so that I may have another chance. Grahame-White Is flying a 100 horsepower bleriot. The meet of ficially ended tonight and tomorrow s flights were supposed to be confined to the programme of last Sunday, which indictment weather prevented No other flight should be allowed tomorrow and If there Is I shall ask for a postpone ment of several weeks to allow me to get a 1O0-horsepower machine.
 "It is just as fair for them to grant this to me as it will he If they let Gra- hame- White fly second time tomor- row.
 T don't care a farthfng about the S1O,000, but do care for the honor of America and we have won fairly think, and we are entitled to the honor land credit"

the Saunders were with the Harpers,
Turner's, Whites, Kents, CARROTS,
Shacklefords, and with the families
of Jones and Bass.
While we shall not say that the
Saunders are full of fight, of one Of
the family it is quantity recorded that
'he was an excitable patriotic man,
CURED in his day. He was apt to get
into serious difficulties, but he always
emerged triumphantly."
Betsy had a son, James Wilder, by
her first husband Presley was rev.
dictionary soldier. Among others Of
the Virginia line were Ensign Robert
Hyde Saunders, and Lieut.. 10,
seph; North Carolina was represented
by Lieut.. William and Capt. Jesse:
South Carolina by Roger, and Massa-
chusetts by Capt. Jesse. rs. Jesse
has always been favorite name.
One of the members Of the provin
cial congress of North Carolina, 1776,
was James Saunders, who was q
colonel in the revolution.
The Sanders of the New York
branch intermarried with the Ten
Eyc5s, Van Rensselaers, and Glens,
and one of the historic homes of Amer,
lea is Scotia" near Schenectady, the
home for generations Of the Glens and
Sanders-the Glen-Sanders home it is
called. It was originally the Glen
home, but by the marriage Of the
heiress of the Glens, Deborah Glen,
to John Sanders, it became the Glen,
Sanders house, thus called ever since.
Deborah and John had five children.
The coat-of-arms reproduced is as,
cribed to Thomas, the immigrant, and
is blazoned: sable black, a chevron,
ermine, between three bulls heads ca,
bossed Cor full faced,) argent (silver)
Crest, a demi-bull, erased, gules
(red). The date of the granting of
this coat-armor Is given as 1915 to
the Sanders, also spelled Saunders, of
Down House, Ealing, Hants. No mot,
to is given with this coat-of-arms. The
Saunders of Wales, in the time Of
Henry III, used this arms, with the
motto Invidere Sperno-I spurn envy.
Another family motto is Nil Con.
scire Sibi-Having no remorse. This
appears upon the arms of Morley
Saunders, prime sergeant" time Of
Qeen Anne.
The arms granted May 8, 17e1, to
Sir Charles Saunders is: Sable, chew
ron ermine, cotised, or (gold), between
three bulls heads, caboosed, or.
Crest, out of naval coronet. argent.
demi-bull, rampant, gules, armed and
hoofed, or. This coat-of-arms differs
but slightly from the one reproduced.
The date Of the granting OF another
arms is 1910.

Parker Family

Parker is derived from Paraus, a
park, from which also comes the name
Parcarius, a park-keeper, or an Of
ficer, who has surveillance of park,
for some noble or royal parsonage. The
name is of Celtic origin. The variants
are Pare, de Parco, Parcker, Par
choar, lie Parkere, Parkerre, Parkre
and Parkar. Names also derived from
this root are Patterson, Parkerhill,
Parkerhouse, Parkinson, Parkhurst,
Parks, Parkham.
Parcus, de Parco, and Anchitil Pare
ker, tenant of Somerset, are names
found in Doomsday Book.
Parcs is a town near Alencon, Nor
mandy, and Johannes lie Parcere, who
accompanied William the Conqueror
upon his memorable expedition, may
have taken his name from this place,
or from the fact that he became the
keeper of the royal parks. He had so
acres, and six shillings eight pence an
nually for folding the royal sheep and
driving them to pasture. Reginald lie
Parkere accompanied Edward I. to the
Holy Land; in 1911 William lie Parker
had grants of land in Norfolk county.
From Thomas lie Parker, 1927, des-
cended the earl of Macclesfield. One
IF the powerful men Of the reign Of
Henry VIII. was Henry Parker, Lord
Morley. Anne Boleyn's chaplain was
Matthew Parker, afterward Arch
bishop of Canterbury. Sir Hyde Park
or was a famous admiral of the eight
zenith century.
The first of the name here was Will
lam Parker. who, with his wife Mar
garet, came over in the ship Mat
thew, from London, 1885. They were
among those who helped to found Mar
blehead, Mass.
If one characteristic more than an
other distinguishes the Parkers, it is
patriotism. Was it not Capt. Parker
who fired the first shot at Lexington?
The shot heard the world around.
Stand your ground" was the cap
tain's order to his men, don't fire un-
less fired upon, but if they mean to
have a war, let it begin here" The
handsome bronze statue of Capt. Par
ker was erected on the one hundred
and twenty-fifth anniversary of the
battle.
Parkers of the south trace back to
DR.. BENJAMIN Parker, born in Brad
ford, Mass., 1859, who settled in the
old dominion. He was man of great
ability, and at one time it seemed that
he might become candidate for cleo
ton as president of the United States,
and one, as we all know, has had the
honor of being a presidential candi
date.
The first printing press in New Jer-
sey was set up by James Parker, who
had been an apprentice OF William

IRE played less havoc in the
"a woodlands of the national for
est states last year than It did
in 1908, although the number of
fires was 40 greater. The de-
partment of agriculture has just COM
pleted the statistics. The protective
value of the work of the department
is shown in that Q) almost eighty
per cent. of the fires were extin'
guished before as much as five acres
had been damaged; (2) less than one
and one-half acres to the square mile
of national forest land was burned
over; 60 and the amount Of damage
done to the burned-over area averaged
but $1.26 per acre.
For the twelve months ended De-
cember 81 last, there were 3,138 fires
on the forests, 1,186 caused by loco
motives, 431 by campers, 294 by light
ming, 181 by brush burning, 81 by in
cendiaries, 3S by sawmills and donkey
engines, 153 by miscellaneous and 75s
by unknown agencies. The area
burned over was, in round figures,
100000 acres, of which about $4,000
were private lands in national for
ests, as against some 100000 acres in
1908. Some 170,O00,00O board feet of
timber was consumed, of which 49,
100000 feet was privately owned, as

ABANDONED 1T
For the Old Fashioned Coffee Was
Killing.

ct always drank coffee with the rest
of the family, for it seemed as if there
was nothing for breakfast if we did
not have it on the table.
81 had been troubled some time
with my heart, which did not feel
right. This trouble grew worse steadily.
Sometimes it would beat fast and
at other times very slowly, so that
would hardly be able to do work for
an hour or two after breakfast, and if
I walked up hill, it gave me Sc
we're pain.
81 had no idea of what the trouble
was until friend suggested that per-
haps it might be caused by coffee
drinking. 1 tried leaving off the coffee
and began drinking Postum. The
change came quickly. I am now glad
to say that I am entirely well of the
heart trouble and attribute the relief
to leaving off coffee and the use of
Postum.
"a number of my friends have aban-
doned the old fashioned coffee and
have taken up with Postum. which
they are using steadily. There are
some people that make Postum very
weak and tasteless, but If it is boiled
long enough, according to directions,
It is a very delicious beverage. We
have never used any of the old fash
toned coffee since Postum was first
started in our house"

WellviIle," in pkgs. There's Reason"
