Descended from Famous English Kings. (Caro. Tickner, in Harper's Weekly) "Let no man faucy he knows sport," said tho late Moncure D. Con way, "unies* he has family-treed an ancestor of Goorge Washington." Yet, despite the many clover schol ars and antiquarians of America, who have tried their hands at this sport, it has remained for a fellow of the Royal Historical Society of England, Rev. Frederick W. Ragg. to convey to us the latest Interesting revelation regarding the ancestry of our first President. Barring those who champion tho truly democratic standpoint, less prevalent to-day than It was In 1S20. which scorns to connect itself with Old World titles and abhors royalty, there romain many liberal souls among us who do not grudge to one who was acknowledged llrst in war and itrst In peace a share in the hom age accorded the first family of Flag land. Edward I was himself a mighty warrior, and first in many wars; his prow sss was early exercised on tho Turks, durlOg that last crusade ever embarked on ny England's kings,and when the throne became his own he successtully carried out his p oject of uniting England, Scotland anJWales. He brought the famous Scone to Westminster Abbey, and under him Englnnd became a mighty nation. He was a monarch wise and great, even though ho had little leaning toward democratic government and did not display special fondness for Magna Charta. Edward Longshank? was not an ancestor to be despised by his de scendant George, of knightly bearing and equally long legs. That this direct line of descent has not until now been established may seem a blt surprising in view of the exhaustive research that has been devoted to the Washington ano*-"try. The reason ls, however, not difficult to understand when one reflects that such research has been concerned ex clusively with the male line, while this royal blood ls introduced into tho family by Marguaret Butler, who mnrrled Laurence Washington in % 1588. Good for Everybody. Norman R. Coulter, a prominent architect In the Delbert Building. San Ptti.iclseo, says: "1 fully en dorse al! that has bee: ?aid of Elec tric Bittere as a tonic medicine. Il ls good for everybody. lt corrects itomach, liver and kidney disorders In n prompt and efficient manner and builds up the system." Electric Bit ters ls the best spring medicine ever sold over a druggists' counter; ns a blood purifier it is unequaled. 5 0c. ut all druggists. News from Conneross.
