to coming to this country in 1880, Thomas Dudley
had served as captain under Henry of Navarro hav-
ing received his commission from Queen Elizabeth
He was descended from the elder branch of the
Dudley family to which the Earl of Leicester be-
longed and which traced its ancestry straight back
through William the Conqueror to Alfred the Great.
Mrs. William s. Heller has a highly interesting
and varied line Of notable ancestors The Bentons
on her fathers side go back to Norman origin and
the Norman coat of arms always hung in the home
of her girhood days. Through the Norton line she
goes back to John Webster, who was one of the
early governors Of Connecticut and who was the
forebear of Daniel and of Noah Webster. On her
mothers side Mrs. Heller traces back through the
Van Horns of Holland stock, who came to Amer
lea in 635; to the reigning family of Holland, be-
ing an eighth cousin of Queen Wilhelmina On her
mothers fathers sde-the de Havens-she goes
back to the ancestor of that name, a distinguished
Frenchman, who left France during the trouhlous
times of Louis XIV and settled in Philadelphia in
1886, which place has always been the home of
the family. - g.
Mrs. Pressy j. Barr, president of the Omaha

Mrs Barr has recently been invited to join the
Society of Founders and Patriots of America

the Vieles was especially prominent. He came to
this country with his father about 1880 and the
latter erected Indian trading house at Fort
Orange, now Albany, Y, and became an in

and any number of treaties with the Indians for
many vars bear his signature. Governor Thomas
Dougan sent Viee special envoy to the Iroquois

An Omaha physician, DR.. Mary Strong, has
heard from the lips of her great aunt tales of
skirmishes with the Tories and Indians which took
place near the log cabin where she was born This
aunt-Lucy Bayley was her name-came into the
world while the fight with the redskins was ON
and 1t was only the bravery of little band of pat
riots which saved the baby and her mother
from certain death. .......- $500 -.
"As Aunt Lucy lived to be ST. have often
heard her tell this with great PRIDE" said Dr.
Strong.
DR.. Strongs great-great grandfather, General
Jacob Bayley of Newbury, VT, was member of
the committee of safety for that state and, with
most of his sons who were old enough served as
soldier, scout and the committee for that PROV
ince, which had recently been claimed both by
New Hampshire and New York. General Bayley
was one of the famous Green Mountain boys, who,
led by Ethan Allen, resisted the New York claim
ants. And he helped defeat Baums forces when
this division of Bursoynes British and Hessian
soldiers came to Bennington to fight the Vermont
ers and New Hampshire patriots. y
Many other of DR.. Strong's ancestors fought at
Bennington. Her great grandfather, Tillotson, was
there and saved powder horn which DR.. Strong
has put in the Omaha public library. Another relic
Of times which the doctor has loaned the
library is queer, little, iron oil lamp which one
of her Strong ancestors brought back from an ex-

Alexander Strong was one of those who helped
guard the cabin where little Lucy Bayley was born.
His son married her younger sister, Mira Bayley-

From the London Mall.
Today the Princess Juliana. heiress to
the Dutch throne, attains the age of
three, and her birthday will be the oc-
casion of many festivities throughout
Holland.
The Queen of Holland lives the greater
part of the year at her country seat of
the Loo, near Apeldoorn, in Gelderland.
There the princess spends the whole day
in the royal park, where she has her
little baby house, her poultry yard with
the fowls she feeds with her own hands.
her dog, two ponies and a deer.
Every day at the Loo as well as at
The Hague some children are invited to
play with her in order to mitigate as
much as possible the double loneliness of
her position as a future queen and as
an only child.
The queen likes to invite various chill
dren by turns, so that the princess may
learn at an early age to be friendly to all
sorts of people, and not to show too great
a preference for a chosen few. These
little three-year-olds are quite free in
their games, and often treat their royal
hostess with scant respect
One of them, proud of her dainty pat
ent leather shoes, said to the princess:
I think my shoes much prettier than
yours" Whereupon little Ju1tana looked
ruefully at her strong laced-up boots
saying: And yet these are my very
best
A few days before the court left The
Hague the princess was taken for a walk
in the Scheveningen woods. It had rained
during the night. and for the first time
It dawned upon her young mind how
