An examination Of the original re-

Byrd (born 1852. OF Belvidere. Va and
continued by his son. the first William
Byrd of Westovcr. and further con
tinued by the second William Byrd OF
Westover. shows beyond question that
there never was II marriage between
any one named Rogers and descen-
dant Of William Byrd. OF Helvidere. tho
emlgrant. But it is easy To see how
this mistake originated. There were
other families named Byrd. some or
them Bird. In Virginia. Now there is
absolutely no evidence that any Of
these Byrds or Birds were related to
the family descending from William

Westover Byrds. But there Is His

which county and parish records are
published. In that book il is written

Clarke was a daughter Of one Thomas
Byrd Also that the paternai grand
father of General George Rogers Clarke
selected "a red -haired Scotch girl for
his wife. among number OF young
women who came to tho colony of
Virginia for wives for the young farm
ers. As no young woman could enter
the number OF those who came to
marry the young colonists unless she
was certified To be Of unbleniiShed
character, good sense, sound health and
industrious. and then very importanD
the colonist must win hcr consent to
marry him after she saw him. II may
rcadil" be understood that such young
women made admirable wives 1t Is
probable that General Clarke's superior
courage and intellect. his perseverance
and great energy and physical strength
were partly inherited from this rcd
haired Scotch grandmother. She must
have been n most desirable ancestrcss
She certainly had distinguished
grandson. The same book. q. The

THE HIGH COST OF WAR.

Four years of war cost this country $4000OOOOO0 and
this not counting the cost the South Forty years after
the war we had than million the pension
roll which reached its highest cost last year with $174
17166O paid out The cost of the European war is est
mated at $200O0000000 year, and if it continues for
three years. as Lord Kitchener intimated it might there
would be the studendous debt of $6O00O0O0OOO for Eu
rope to pay The interest this alone at four per
cent, would be $2,40OOO00OO yearly.
OF course Europe cannot pay PENSIONS as this country
has done if it desired to do The struggle to meet
the interest alone without reducing the principal will be
terrible one that will tax the patriotism and resources
of all the nations to their limit The debt of $685. 000
600 is more than four times all the gold taken from the
mines since civilization began 1t represents the entire
farm production Of the United States cattle and other
livestock included for ten years Even with the last
ing but year. it would represent the entire production Of
our farms for four years. and when the destruction of
property and the loss by destroyed industries and
are taken into consideration it would represent
that production for five years With years and
the cost estimated $2000000 it would mean that
it would take 1000 tons of gold to pay the BILL and with
interest at four per cent it would require 1890 tons yearly
to meet it.
