Parkman Family Clock.

uel Parkman, the grandfather of the
late George Parkman, was a Boston
merchant. living at Bowdoin street,
who died in 1924, and he left houses
and lands, stocks and bonds and
notes Of hand of a sufficient amount
to give each one OF his eight children
what must have been regarded at that
time as fortune.
Among these eight children was
Mrs. Robert G. Shaw, who was the
grandmother OF Col. r. @. Shaw Of
the 54th Massachusetts, regiment. of
George William Curtis. the author and
orator. and the ancestor of many 9TH
er descendants who have married and
intermarried with some of Boston's
most prominent families. There were
also Rev. Francis Parkman, who was
the father of the historian of the same
name. and DR.. George Parkman.
George Parkman, from whose estate
comes Boston's s5.000.000 fund for the
benefit of the people. was the son of
DR.. George Parkman.
Neither the grandfather, Samuel
Parkman. nor the father, Dr. George
Parkman, in their respective wills, left
any public bequests. The Will OF DR..
George Parkman. indeed. especially
provided against the submission of
any inventory to the probate court,
and everything, with as little publicity
as the requirements of the law permit
ted, was devised to the widow and the
two children. Therefore the amount
nf tho Uanlfb nf T1r Dar nj ha
time of his death in 1S49 was never
publicly known. And 1t Is this con-
cealed fortune of so years ago which
is now unloaded into the lap of the
city.

HEREDlTY
Can Be Overcome In Cases.

The influence of heredity cannot of

It can be minimized or entirely over

used to emerge as white as a ghost

clan gave me various prescriptions for

but without perceptible result.
"He was acquainted with my fam
lily history for several generations
back, and once when visited him he
said: II you have inherited one of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from its inaction.
We can't dodge our inheritance. you

WONDERFUL NATURAL BRIDGE
Perhaps the Largest In the Whole
World 10 Located In South
western Utah.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-The largest
natural bridge in America, II not, In
deed. in the whole world, is the
George Natural Bridge in southwest
ern Utah. not far from the slate
boundary line. Its total length be-
tween the huge natural abutments ia
about 200 feet; the width of the
roadway" is some 35 feet. while the
span In the clear is about 80 feet.
From the bed up the span Is 100 feet.
At the bottom flows a small water
course.
Just what produced this work Of ma
ture has for some time puzzled the
leading scientists of the country. It
could scarcely have been created by
the wear OF the water, unless there
was very large and swife current
flowing where the little brook is now.
The general explanation is that vol
canic action at some distant period of
the worlds history, was the active
agency. The existence of the bridge
is of comparatively recent knowledge
to the public. though the Indians oft
en- spoke Of 1t to the early settlers
of that part OF Utah. Little credence.
however. was given to their stories
until about 10 or IL years ago 1t was
discovered by some mining prospec-
tors. 1t is located In the heart of q
very rugged region that is difficult Of
access.
The span is composed of dark
brown sandstone of an unusually hard
quality. and is 40 feet or more in
thickness. Engineers who have made
a careful examination of this bridge
pronounce II perfectly safe.

SUCCEEDS SENATOR BURROWS

Perhaps because of his own person

ate, Charles E. Townsend is regarded
as figure of considerable Importance
in national affairs.
When insurgency broke out in the
house of representatives against the
rule Of Speaker Cannon, Townsend,
who had been elected to congress in
1903, became one of its promote and
supporters. His name was even men
toned as that of an available candi-
