From the Louisville CourierJournal
 A young couple had been courting for several years, and the young man seemed to be in no hurry to marry. Finally one day he said:
 Sal, l canna marry thee"
 Flows that?" asked she.
 i've changed my mind," said he.
 well, I'll tell thee what we'll do.' said she. "If folks know that it's thee as has given me up I shanna be able to get another chap, but if they think I've given thee up then I can get all I want. So we'll have banns published and when the wedding day comes the parson will say to thee, wilt thou have this woman to be thy welded wifeT and thou must say T will And when he says to me, will thou have this man to be thy welded husband?' I shall say, wanna"
 The day came. and when the min ister asked the important question. the man aswered:
 'I will"
 Then the parson said to the woman:
 wilt thou have this man to be thy welded husband?" and she said:
 "I will"
 Why" said the young man. fur ously you said you would say I winna.'"

the Portuguese people were In sym pathy with Costa and the kind of gov ernment which he gave them. As matter of fact, only a small proportion of the population cared who governed so long as taxes were low. Some sur face attempts were made to deal with the greatest abuses of the Manuel and Carlo regimes, but 1t is doubtful if the people of Portugal are any better off today than they were under their royal masters
 There are in existence many ugly
 stories of gigantic graft under Costa
 and the late prime minister himself,
 according to some of these unauthen-
 ticated tales, laid by an enormous for
 tune in Switzerland. The writer tried
 to find some basis for these rumors
 when Investigating the Lisbon polit-
 teal prisons a couple of years ago and
 1t is only fair to Costa to say that he
 was unable to discover single man who hand any reliable evidence. Costa was financial juggler of extraordi- nary cleverness and undoubtedly used all his arts in national finances, but there is apparently nothing to prove that this was more than a successful attempt to fool the public, a practice common to all countries.
 It Is impossible to guess just what will be the immediate effects of Cos ta's death. Another strong man may appear to seize the reins of power | There is no one in Costa's immediate entourage who has yet given evidence of ability or courage enough to suc- cessfulIy fill his shoes The present President and premier were but pup pets in his hands and will probably | disappear with the appearance of new dictator

A CORNER IN ANCESTORS
ny FRANCES cowLEs. THE PARRY FAMILY

Copyright. 1915, by the Mcclure News
 paper Syndicate.)
 The first American Parry. Thomas Parry. is supposed to have been a mem Der of the old Parrys of Madryn castle. The tradition is that he was the son of Love Parry, a high sheriff of Caernar- vonshire. If this tradition Is true then our Thomas Parry was a brother of Godfrey Parry, who was an officer in the army of King Charles I. one of whose descendants was Sir Love Parry, A baronet and officer in the British army He gained his promotion to the rank of general because of his valiant action on the battlefield of Waterloo, where he lost a leg.
 whether or not Thomas Parry was the son of Sheriff Love Parry or not this much is true that he was born in Caer- narvonshire, Wales, in 1880. He came as a young man to Pennsylvania where he was a very extensive landholder. owning 1000 acres of land in Montgomery county. Here was situated the Moreland manor tract owned later by one of his sons Thomas married Jane Morris of Penn sylvania, when he was 35 and had 10 children. They were as follows: Thomas born in 1716; Philip Wynn, born in 1719 Che married Miss R. Harker and had nine chidren), John, born 1721 the mar ried Margaret Tyson and had seven children), Stephen, born In 1723 Che mar ried Esther Walmsley and had two daughters), Edward, born in 172e; David. born in 172s; Mary. who married and had two sons, Isaac and Thomas; Martha, who married a Cummings.
 Such is the second generation of the Parry family in America and from them are descended practically all who bear the name in this country today They are notably to be found In Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York state. Tennes- see and New Jersey. They have inter married with the so-called best famil- ies' of the land, among which may be mentioned the following Morris. Tyson, Vaughan, Randolph Bull, Wayne, Lewel- Iyn and Wilson. They are probably as nearly as any one family could be a middle states" family, being neither strongly southern northern in their associations

 one that big guns, huge stores of am- intuition and military equipment of all kinds are waiting until a means can be devised of carrying them to the vast armies. And 1t is the allied fleet which is attempting the task of open- ing up a way for this purpose.
 There are also two other good req sons why the Dardanelles must be forced. The autumn of 1914, accord Ing to the story of "The Dardanelles'' (Andrew Melrose). saw a heavy wheat harvest garnered on the shores of the Black sea. It was . food supply of in- finite value to the allied forces at . time when the price of wheat waa mounting by leaps and bounds over all the world. But 50 long as tho Dardan- elles are closed to our merchant ships the Russian wheat must lie useless in the graneries. And so, if only to re. store trading communications between cast and west, the attempt on the Oar. danelles had to be made.
 The second reason why 1t is essen. tial that the Dardanelles should b, forced is that the Turks will be cut

ALFONSO COSTA WAS A REMARKABLE MAN Single Strong Character Thrown Up by Revolu-

London, August 1.-(Special )-Now that reports of the death of pr. Al fonso Costa, which came from Lisbon have proven true, Portgual. after a period of inevitable readjustment. probably can count on a spell of in- ternal peace. Incidentally. with the dis appearance of Dr. Costa, King Man uel's chances of regaining his throne are considerably frightened.
 Alfonso Costa was a remarkable character. There are many opinions both in and out of Portgual. on his merits. Some looked upon him as a true patriot, working necessarily fol what he believed to be the good oi his country; others regarded him al an interruptions schooner bent solely upon filling his own pock tets and sat. isfyins his own lust for power. Prob. ably history alone will decide whict of these opposite estimates Is tho truer.

 1rst result of the achievement will be the restoration of communications be- tween Russia and her western allies.
 The fact is not generally realised that at the beginning of the war the entrance to the Baltic was blocked by the German fleet. the Dardanelles closed by the Turks, while Archangel, the only other outlet for Russia. was shut off by ice. The conseQuence was that there was no means of setting ammunition and other goods into Rus uia. and 1t 10 now fully recognized that the whole exploitation of the Rus- sian setbacks In 0alicia is the simple

 To "One of the Lewis tribe," who asks for information of the family of Ellis Lewis, who settled somewhere in Penn sylvania.

 The father of Ellis, the first settler was Owen of Wales. and the family has preserved an unbroken chain show ing their descent from Howell. lord of Nannan, Wales, who, in turn, was de- scended from Cynfyn, who died fin 972 and was prince of Powys and King of Wales, whose ancestor was Howell Dha, King of Wales, who married Isabel, daughter of Picot de Say, Norman baron.
 The son of Ellis, the first settler of his branch of the Lewis family, was Ellis, of Red Land Valley, Pa, a large land holder there. His sons were E1i and Ellis. Eli was major of the First bat talion of York militia in TIT and laid out the city of Lewisburg, Pa., in 179S He married Pamela Webster and had nine children.
