THE SOULE.SOWLE FAMILIES.

These families were evidently derived from
them back to A. D. 1140 in France and 700
years in England. 1 believe they came at the
Conquest, They may have had double origin
as other families have had.
The American branches, in whatever form
the name may be spelt, with but few excep-
tions, are descended from that George Soule
who came on the "Mayfiower" in 1920 and now
number thousa nds, being distributed into all
parts of the Union. The early generations
were a prolific people. and as a whole those
bearing the name have been an intelligent,
lawabiding and respectable race; the monotony,
however, sometimes. as in other families,
broken by the appearance of "Black Sheep"
in the human flock.
For the first time an attempt is now being
made to collect the records of the posterity of
"Pilgrim Soule" (this is the way he spelt his
name) and compile and publish fine and full
history of the family, rea ching back to the
most remote ancestors in France and their
ancient Chateau in Normandy.
The Compiler, who has been employed as a
professional genealogist by few persons
named Soule to do this work, respectfully re-
specially requests all who may see this notice
to communicate with him without delay and to
cordially assist in furnishing information.

A REMINISCENCE.
A Most Delightful July 4, 1888, on Ship
board off the Coast of Florida.

A Most Delightful July a, 1888, on Ship
board off the Coast of Florida.
A review of the latest effort in fiction
of Geo. W. Cables, "Gideon's Band, -
in the Marine Journal of October II,
; 1914, recalls an incident in which the
writer spent six very pleasant days in
company with this eminent author of
| several popular stories on ''creole life in
the South" on board the steamship
Hudson of the Cromwell Line on trip
from New Orleans TO this port while that
vessel was in command of the late Capt.
Hilton r. Freeman, royal good fellow
and most companionable personality,
as those who remember him will bear
testimony. This was in July, 1888, and
the occasion of Mr.. Cable moving his
family from his former home in New Or
leans to Northampton, Mass, where he
still resides. The good ship Hudson had
on board about seventy-five passengers,
most of whom were anxious to do some
thing out of the ordinary, as the day,
which began in the Gulf of Florida off
Key West with sunshine and a smooth
sea, was July the 18th.
At breakfast Mr.. Cable suggested that
we get up some kind of an entertain
ment and celebrate the day as American
citizens in becoming manner. In an
hours time we had canvassed the ship s
company, as well as the passengers, with
astonishing success, having found that a
majority were willing to undertake to do
something to amuse their fellow ship
mates. if possible. A rehearsal was
called on the awning deck, and at high
noon, the hour set for the entertainment,
and from that time until p. M, when
the gong sounded for dinner, there had
been more fun crammed into three hours
time than we ever before enjoyed or
witnessed, very properly beginning with
prayer by Chaplain Wltherspoon of the
New Orleans Seamen's Bethel, followed
by that old patriotic hymn, America"
then came the Declaration of Independ-
ence. A few of the brightest chapters
of Mr.. Cables "Creole Days" were read
by himself, after which humorous say
ings and doings ran riot until all the
participants were tired out through un-
usual exertion, while the audience had
laughed themselves to the verge of con-

for our stage manager, Geo w. Gable,

had been dressed for the day and the
occasion were hauled down, and this
ended the happiest July 18th we ever
spent on shipboard. Capt. George L.

THE LATE THOMAS G. SMART.
A Tribute to His Memory BY Frank W..
Cowen.

When read in The Journal Of the death of
Hon. Thomas C. Smart formerly of Swanville,
tears filled my eyes and could only say: Oh
life. how swiftly. with all its joys, with all its
sorrows. cares and strife. it passes away. re-
minding Us Of its uncertainties here on earth:
and cry. in the thrilling words of St. Psu;
"Oh death. where is thy sting? Oh grave.
where is thy victory?"
| Tom Smart. can see him now as he looked
thirty years ago and feel the warm grasp of
his hand. II remember rightly first met
him in 1854. when as q mere boy spoke for
the constitutional prohibitory amendment in
Swanville. He was then man in the prime
of life. strong and vigorous. lovable and am
liable. with a firmly established Christian and
moral character. He was thoroughly in SYM
pathy with the amendment and l remember
was in the thickes, of the fight in Waldo
county in that great struggle which resulted
in placing Prohibition in the constitution OF
the State of Maine, where pray to God it wi
remain forever.
am not familiar with the political views of
Mr.. Smart in his younger days, when he held
position in the Treasury Department at
Washington, but when the Greenback move
ment swept over Maine he became quite prom
inent as a member of that party and was al
ways great admirer of the late Hon. Scion
Chase. 1t WIS pity that he could not have
been sent by the Greenbackers to the 46th and
47th Congress in 1879 and 1881, instead OF Tom
Murch. his fine moral character, ability and
experience in public life at the National Cap
ltol would have made him a far better Con-
gresham than the poor, morally weak stone-
cutter of Rockland
After the death Of the Greepback move
ment Mr.. Smart identified himself with the
Prohibition party and was several times
mated for State Senator from Naldo county
on that party ticket and had he been elected
would have done the county and State good
service. 1t was in this connection that came
to know him SO intimately and l was seyelal
times guest at his pleasant home III Sv al
vile. How well l remember riding with him
yer the grand old hills of Maine to speak at
Prohibition meetings, and how he delighted
in "a good story, how ne loved joke, and like
Uncle Scion, he also had a keen sense of humor,
But he who was one of the most charming
companions during all my public life in Maine
is dead. He speak no more, and l take this
opportunity of paying this tribute to the
memory of this loved companion, this good
and noble man. Farewell to thee, dearest
FRIEND hail and farewell. l do not think OF
you as in the grave, but as On that distant at d
happy shore where there is no pain, sorrow nor
DEATH Dear old friend, YOUR
"Life's dreams are past,
All its joys, all its sorrows
Brightly at last
Dawns day of gladness.
Under thy sod,
Earth remains our treasure
To rest In God,
Waiting ali his pleasure"

BOWDOIN MEN HELP BELGIAN REF
UGEES.

Twenty-Five Bowdoin freshmen, mem
bers of one of the committees of the Y.
M. C. A., have been busy this week col
lecti e old clothes of all sorts. Every
college man and each me mber of the fac
ulty has been asked to give something.
Already a tremendous pile has been
gathered in one of the college buildings.
These will be sent next week to Cam
bridge University, England, to clothe
the thousand wounded and destitute Bel
gians, who are being taken care of there.
The Cambridge University men have
filled their cricket buildings and hospital,
and given all the money and clothes they
can, and now are calling on American
college men to help them. There are
more Belgians now at Cambridge than
students; over half the college body is at
the front.
Other American colleges are sending
help in this time of need. Yale has
raised eight thousand dollars for the Red
Cross, and hopes to maintain a motor
ambulance at the front; Princeton is sup

: Old magazines have also been collect
ed to send to the State Prison and to va

doin men provided Thanksgiving dinners
for fifty poor1people in Brunswick.
Plans have just been announced for the
"Hiwale Campaign" in January, when
the Y. M. c. A. hopes to collect three
hundred dollars for Anand S. Hiwale,
1909, the Bowdoin missionary in India.
In the spring old clothes will be collect

Bowdoin men contribute. on the aver
age, nearly dollar apiece each year for
work of this sort.
