Here is a story about a diplomatic negro waiter; also about two we'll known Kansas men,. who can go by the names of Smith and Jones, just to tell the yarn.
 Smith and Jones look much alike and are frequently taken for each other. One day Smith was in a cer- tain big hotel not thousand miles from Kansas City and went into the dining room for dinner. The negro waiter busily brushed off the crumbs and said Why, how is you, MT. Jones, how is you? Is glad to see you. I hasn't seen you since l waited on your table when you all used to have a little game upstaihs.
 I'm fraid you are mistaken" said Smith, very quickly. My name isn't Jones. You have the wrong man..

American Cotton in India.

According to Consul Stuart K Lup ton of Karachi, India the deputy director of agriculture in Sind, states that American cotton seed was tried in several places in that district of India last season with good results The average yield is 575 to 660 pounds per acre, rather more than the indi. genous cotton, while the staple is at least half an inch longer. It is sup posed that cultivation will be extend. ed next year, as it can be sown in June, the best time of the year from the standpoint of irrigation, and ripens much quicker than native cotton.

Bring Rare Antiquities From Egypt

Prof. E. Naville, consisted of an at
tempt to clear finally the royal tombs
of the first and second dynasties; but
much still remains to be done at this
site, and good results are expected
from the continuation Of the work
next season. From these excavations
come slate palettes, Jars and vases,
ornaments of glaze, wood, stone, car
nelian, amethyst and flint; flint
razors, ivory carvings, beads and pot
terry.
1t is a significant fact that many of
the discoveries Of the last year are
injured by dampness, because they
lie so near the area Of cultivation.
The wide extension Of agricultural
Egypt resulting from the building of
the monster dams at Assiout and AS
souan, has not been an unmixed
blessing. Many Of the noblest monu.
ments have been injured and will ul-
timately be- overthrow by the en-.
croaching waters. The relics of the
past that have lain safely in the dry
sands of Egypt are already beginning
to decay at the touch Of the infiltrat.
ing waters. A few years more and
the excavator will find nothing Of
value in places that are now rich

Homes indeed is one form Of the name
found in colonial times.
Holmes is from the Norman word
holm, an islet in lake or river; It also
means lowlands.
In German, It is Holm; in Flemish,
Holms. Holmo is found In Domesday
book. Holmbury is a place in Surrey.
The family has been prominent for
centuries, in Yorkshire, Norfolk, Ches-

Captain John died 1874, and his was

BeckNith Family

The Beckwith family is very old,
and dates back with a distinct record
of each generation to the times OF
William the Conqueror in England.
But strange as 1t may seem, the found
er of the family was not named Beck
with. but de Malebisse.
Sir Hugh de Malebisse was brave
Norman knight, and he came with
William in 1866 from Normandy to
England. He is mentioned in the
Domesday book as q land holder. He
had three sons; one Of them became
q monk and the other two established
families in the new country to which
they had come.
Almost 200 years later, during which
time the de Malebisse family had dis
tinguished itself in peace and in war,
Sir Hercules de Malebisse, one Of Sir
Hugh's descendants, married Lady
Dame Beckwith Bruce. Her father
was Sir William Bruce, lord Of Ugle-
barby, and he was descended from Sir
Robert Bruce, progenitor of the royal
Bruces of Scotland. Beckwith, Bick-
with, or Beckworth. which come from
the old English words beck, brook,
and worth, an estate, were the names
applied to one of Lady Dame Bruce's
possessions, and she persuaded her
husband TO take the name Of Beckwith
for himself and his successors. His
grandson, Hamon Beckwith, In 1889
by q special grant, assumed the arms
Of the de Malebisses.
So It is that that the family is named
Beckwith, and not de Malebisse.
The family made four distinct settle
ments in America. About 1870 there
fiourished in England a Marmaduke
Beckwith of Dacre and Clint. He sold
his lands in Clint, which had been In
the family for generations, and bought
lands IN Featherstone and Acton. He
had three sons, Thomas. Mathew and
Roger. Thomas had two sons, Thomas
and william, and William was the
first Beckwith in America. he came
TO Virginia in 1907. His brothers son
George, old Marmaduke's great-grand-
SON, came to Maryland in 1913. Mar
mAduke's second son. Mathew, uncle
to William and great-uncie to Thomas.
came to Connecticut in 1885. His third
son, Roger, was the great-grandfather
Of Sir Marmaduke, who came to Vir-

william, the first settler here, went
