I branch of the family early settled in
| various sections of New Jersey and Penn
sylvania, and from there spread to other
States of the Union.
Hugh Montgomery. who settled Lon
donderry. n. H. came from the north
OF ireland, and was presumably Of .
Scotch origin, as were most Of the Prot
estant families of the north of Ireland
who settled in New England at this time.
He landed I'm Boston in IT'S and was
one of the original proprietors of Lon
donderry. He was farmer by vocation.
and was prominent in the local history
, Of the settlement which he shared in
founding. He married one Jean Nc
Gregore. Their second son, Hugh, was
brave scout in the French and Indian
war. The descendants of these Mont
gomerys are to be found in the West
as well as in New England. There is a
branch OF the family in Wisconsin.
Still another branch Of the family was
rounded by Archibold Montgomery, who
was born in the north of Ireland and
settled near Philadelphia in PENNSYLVANIA
during the latter part of the eighteenth
century. He had extensive land near
Philadelphia which he sold Just before
the breaking out of the Revolution for
5000 He. received payment for this
transaction in continental currency,
His sons. Joseph. William. James. Archi-
bold. and Charles, all served valiantIy
in the war of 1872. Their descendants are
to be found extensively in Western Penn
sylvania.
The coat of arms of the Montgomery
family here illustrated is blazoned: Three
flOurs-de-lis. This device on a field of
azure was borne by the New Hampshire
family OF Montgomery. The crest is
blazoned: Crest. out of a cap Of main
tenance an arm in armor. erect, grasp
ing a sword.
VIII you give me the origin OF the
Shirley family?''
The Shirley family of England from
whom probably sprang all who bear the
name claim to be the Oldest knightly
family of Warwickshire. England. They
trace their origin without break to one
Sasuualo. or Sewallis, who name would
indicate that he was old English stock
He is mentioned in the Domesday book
as mesne lord Of Eatington, County War
wick The family resided at Eatington
till the reign of King Edward III, though
in the meantime in the twelfth century
they had adopted their surname from
their manor OF Shirley in Derbyshire
Eatington is to this day one OF the
residences of the existing representative
OF the family The American Shirleys
are supposed to have sprung from the
English Shirleys, of Winston and Pres
ton, County Sussex. a younger branch
of the Warwickshire Shirley family.

finds pessimism in English railway world
similar to that existing here, and says
present low prices In England for railway
securities are due to fear that serious re-

HELPS EACH TO FIND
CALLING.

Not only does vocational edu-
cational provide for doing work
that brings in vastly more money
in the long run. but it enables one
to find out what he is best fitted
for and to choose what he
really wants and can do. BY
recent figures from St. Louis
based upon over 400 children
who left school as soon. as thy
could get working papers, ninet,
per cent. went into purely un-
skilled work. seven per cent. into
low grade skilled vacations, and
three per cent. into skilled vo-
cations. OF the ninety per cent
who went into unskilled voc,-
tons, seventy per cent. did work
that was simply fetching and car
rying in some form-blind alley
occupations, which lead nowhere
Those who are unframed must
take what they can get. Those
who spend two years in the voca-
tional school for boys, or the
Trade School for Girls. in New
York City, Immediately get good
positions as helpers or appren-
tees in the vacations Of their
choice at much better wages than
those who have had no such
tt aiming. They also advance
rapidly in the work. The work
in the schools of this kind is of
such variety that it gives the boy
and girl a chance to try out va
rious kinds of work and to find
for what they are best fitted.
With good vocational education
courses in the public schools no
boy or girl need become a misft
in the worlds work.-Ex.
