THE soULE-sOWLE FAMILIES

These families were evidently de-
rived from a Norman-French ances-
try l have traced them back to A.

England I believed they came at
the Conquest. They may have had 4
double originals other families have
had
The American branches, in what
with but few exceptions, are descend
ed from that George Soule who came
on the "Mayflower" in 1920 and now
number thousands being distributed
into all part of the Union. The ear
ly generations We're a prolific peo-
pie and as a whole those bearing
the name have been an intelligent,
law abiding and respectable race;
the monotOny, however, sometimes,
as in other families, broken by the
appearance of a BLACK Sheep" in
the human flock.
For the first time an attempt is
now being made to collect the rec
ords of the posterity of pilgrim

name) and compile and publish a
fine and full history of the family
reaching back to the most remote
ancestors in France and their ancient
Chateau in Normandy.

ployed Genealogist by a few persons
named Soule to do this work, respect

AGED LADY WALKED 40
NILES TO lADYSMI

Sheriff James G. Cornell brought
Mrs. Frances Dvorack, aged 6S, OF
Jim Falls to the county Jail Saturday
evening at Z o'clock to be examined
as to her sanity.
Mrs. Dvorack's husband died nine
years ago and two months after his
death her mind seemed to become
unbalanced and she had a deluslOn
hemia, her native land. She was
placed in an asylum for the insane
at Cherokee, Ia, for two years when
she was discharged as cured. The
aged lady has been making her home
with her daughter Mrs. Frank HUI
bachak, miles southeast of Jim
Falls. Wednesday morning about Z
O'Clock while she was home alone
with her daughter, she got one OF
her spells and said she was going to
Europe to see her parents. Her
daughter tried to persuade her to
remain at home, but the aged mother
got away. Mrs. Hubachak notified the
other members Of the family when
they returned and thorough search
was made, but no trace Of her could
be found. About noon some one saw
her going through Cobban on foot.
She evaded the pursuers and was
not caught until within a short dis
lance of Ladysmith, Saturday af-
ternoon at o'clock Sheriff Council
traced her to HOlcombe and tele-
phOned Sheriff McNally at Ladysmith
to be on tie lookout for her as he
believed she was going that way.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon the
old lady was seen trudging along
the road and the Rusk county Sher-
iff recognized her as being Mrs.
DvOrak from the description given.
She could speak only the Bohemian
language which the sheriff could not
understand Miss Julia DvOrak, a
daughter of the unfortunate lady left
Holcombe with Sheriff Council for
Ladysmith upon learning she had
been caught, to bring her to this city.
The daughter learned from her
mother that she had slept out doors
in the open, the three nights before.
The distance she walked was 40 miles
She followed the highway and rail
road track. At night she would sleep
in a grove of trees. She had on two
dresses and wore a black crochet
shawl around her head. The cool
evenings did not seem to affect her
health and her daughter said the la
dy was looking very we'll from the
experience she had.
The unfortunate lady was covered
from head to foot with wood ticks
and the daughter spent several hours
taking them from her body.
Mrs Dvorak was examined this af-
ternoon before Judge Lebeis as to he
sanity by Drs. e. P. Ellenson and c..
A. Hayes. She was found to be OF
unsound mind and will be taken to
the insane asylum at Mendoza for
treatment. Her daughter will accom-
pany her-Chippewa Falls Herald

, Niueria's Paradise,

With no taxes to pay and no weari
 some restrictions to undergo, living in a land so fruitful that few weeks
 labor is enough to supply them with food. home and clothes for a whole year, the Ekoi. natives of extreme southern Nigeria. on the equator. should be and probably are among the happiest people on earth. according to P. A. Talbot. African explorer. of ,Lon- don. "The Ekoi are devoted parents" he writes. They have curious beliefs as to the advent and death of their babies. One charming superstition for. bids all quarreling in a house where there are little children. The latter so they say. love sweet words. kind looks and gentle voices. and If these are not to be found in the family into which they have been ireincarnated they will close their eyes and forsake the earth till a chance offers to return again amid less quarrelsome surroundings.

When England Had ,pueIs.

Probably the last duel brought about in England through indiscretions in print was the encounter between John Arthur Roebuck and John Black on Nov. 19. 1885. Roebuck, who was then member of parliament for Bath. had issued a pamphlet bitterly attacking newspapers in.. general and the Morn ing Chronicle in particular, and for this be was challenged by the editor of the Chronicle. Black was practiced duel ist, having been out thirteen times be fore. but the dwarflike figure of his op: ponent offered poor target, and two shots were exchanged without result. Eight years later speech of Roebuck'S in the house of commons provoked. Il challenge from. John Somers. Nj. F. for Sligo. He not only declined to fight but reported the matter to the speaker who severely rebuked the pugnaciouS Irishman.-London Chronicle.

Persia,s SorrowfuI Tree.

There is tree in Persia to which the name 'the sorrowful tree" is given. perhaps because it blossoms only in the evening. When the first star ap- pears in the heavens the first bud of the sorrowful tree opens and as the shades of night advance and the stars thickly stud the sky the buds continue gradually opening until the whole tree looks like one immense white flower. On the approach of dawn, when the brilliancy of the stars gradually fades in the light of day. the sorrowful tree closes its flowers and ere the sun is fully risen not single blossom is wis ible. A sheet of flower dust as white as snow covers the ground around the foot of the tree, which seems blighted and withered during the day. while. however, it is actively preparing for the next nocturnal festival The fra grance of the blossoms is like that of the evening primrose.' t',r

He that hath so many causes of joy and so great is very much in love with sorrow and peevishness who loses all these pleasures and chooses to sit down upon his little handful of thorns. En joy the blessings of this day if God sends them. and the, evils of 1t bear patiently and sweetly, for this day only is ours. We are dead to yester- day and we are not yet born to the morrow. But if we look abroad and bring into one days thoughts the evil of many, certain and uncertain. what will be and what will never be. our load will be as intolerable as it is un- easonable.-Jeremy Taylor.

ExpIoitinq the Antique.

A gang of swindlers in Toulouse had for stock in trade beautiful antique cabinet and a considerable stock of au- dacity. With these they took for a short lease historic chateau near Toulouse. installing a venerable old lady to play the part of owner. Then they found a collector of antiques. per suaded him to visit the chateau and sold him the really valuable cabinet at good round price. After the bargain was concluded they invited the victim to lunch. and while he was eating the meal the real cabinet was replaced by a perfect imitation, which the victim carried off with him. The swindlers before their arrest succeeded in selling their cabinet thirty-three' times at prices varying from $500 to $3,0OO.

Fountain Pans,

It is popular fallacy that fountain pens are quite modern invention. As matter of fact. an old work of refer ence published in 1795 contains an H. lustration of Il fountain pen. the ap- pearance of which is very much like those sold at the present time. Its construction. however. was somewhat elaborate and clumsy, the pen consist ing of various pieces of metal which had to be screwed and unscrewed be- fore the pen could be used.
