A Corner in Ancestors
THE WOODWORTHFAMILY

Behind Scituate the evil of the At
lantic is drawn and our ancestry is
lost in the midst of bygone ages"
mus speaks one of the Woodworths
OF the apparent mystery of the origin
or this great family in America.
Who were these Woodworths. who
took such 4 prominent part in the
early history of one of the most i'm
portant New England settlements. who
fought bravely and freely in the revo-
lutionary war, and who enriched our
history with poets, doctors. soldiers
and statesmen of note?
The first man known 70 bear the
name was one Walter. who probably
came and settled in the town Of Sci
tuate in 1885. Men of Kent" these
early settlers of Scituare are described
and it is only reasonable to suppose
that Walter was Of kentish origin
himself. Some suppose that he was a
descendant of the Woodwards. of
whom there were many in Kent
Others see some reason to believe that
the name grew out of the union of
a man named Wood with maid

and college studies. They will read it
as they would a story, and look out

Teachers in public and high schools.

AT an expenditure Of from ten to
fifteen minutes a day this series will
familiarize you with the history of
America.
By the time the series is ended, if
you have read earnestly and intelli-
gently each day, you will know as
much about the growth, development,
and government Of our country as
college graduate.
You have probably neither the time
nor the inclination to read page after
page Of ponderous volumes of history,
mostly written in very dry and
tedious style.
But this series constitutes tabloid
history of the United States, written
in easy-to-read English of the best
kind.

much that is vague or entirely incom-

entirely" next cautioned the master.
'Never fear, SIR" Selwyn replied,
with confident smile.
The eventful moment arrived duly.
Selwyn was exquisitely dressed for
the scene. and his envious associates
stood about admiring him. At the cue
for his entrance he strobe upon the
stage in all his beauty of youth and
togs. He spoke his modest speech
with assertive emphasis. Suddenly the
mighty Forrest leaped upon him with
tigerish ferocity, seized him, shook
him, threw him violently from side to
side, released him only to pounce upon
him again with increasing ferocity,
swabbed the stage with him. held him
at arms length to loud accompani-
ment Of applause from the gallery and
at last flung him into the entrance
whence he had emerged in pride and
left him a soiled, sore. perspiring. dis
heveled, bruised and Disguised heap OF
humanity-What there was left of him.
