Never before in the history of newspaper and book' publishing has such an offer been 'made. The book is a work of art. It is called "Panama and the Canal in Picture and Prose," and is written by Willis J. Abbot, who is the author of many books of history and travel.

This book is beautifully bound in tropical red vellum cloth, is twice as large as the usual size novel, and contains more than six hundred rare illustrations, many of which are reproduced from water color studies to full page size. Your friend would indeed be proud to possess such a volume, and when it is made known to them that they can get it from the Call for six certificates and the small expense of distribution they will quickly take advantage of the opportunity. At thi present time it behooves all progressive people to learn all they caii of this mighty achievement, for tha great Canal will soon become a working factor among all the nations of the earth. Not only is the great engineering feat, described in this book, but the country and people are shown in very phase and from every angle, both in picture and prose. Taken as a whole the story Is complete, and nobody could get a better understanding of the subject, even though months were spent in the Zone, than could be gained, by reading this interesting narrative.

In another column of thi issue is printed a Panama Certificate. Six of these certificates and expense amount shown therein will put you in possession of this $4 volume without further cost.

child of Edward and Frances Howell, being the fifth son. Richard was born in 1S29. He was married twicte. His first wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Halsey, and-hls second wife was the daughter of Joseph Raynor. The order of birth of his children is not exactly known or to which of his two wives they Belong.

From the documents it ia presumed that most of the children belonged to his first wife. He had the following children: Richard, Josiah, born 1675; llezekiah, born 1677; Edward, Obadiah, Christopher, David, Edmund, Ruth, wife of Jonas Bower Isaac and Sarah 10 sons and 2 daughters. By late, records we find our line of descent is through Daniel, the seventh son, who was born in Southampton, 1680. (5) Daniel Howell was born in Southampton in 1680. and died April 25,.

1732. Daniel was married but I am unable to give his wife's name. He had the following children: David, born 1705; Phoebe, born Sept. 28, 1707, who married John Scudder; Elizabeth, born Jan. 9, 1709, jvife of William John, born 1712, died June 1732; Hannah, born Feb.

1727, in all 8 sons and 2 daughters. (6) Our ancestor is David, the first son of Daniel, above mentioned. He was born, as I have noted in 1715, and died October 24, 1775. He married Mary Baker and had the following children: Daniel, born 1739; died Feb. 27, 1812.

He married Deborah, daughter of Stephen Rose. For his descendants see Cooley's genealogies, of Trenton, N. for the whole family. The second sort of David Howell and his wife, Mark Baker, was John, born June 14, 1727; then David, who died in 17S5, then Joseph, born 1729, died 1800; Amos, Timothy, born 1743, died in 1S04. (7) In our line of ancestors is John Howell, the second son of David and Mary Baker Howell.

As we have noted he was born June 14, 1727, and married Naomi Hart, who was born Sept. 1736, and was nine years his junior. She was of the White Hart family, so named to distinguish them, from the Black Hart family, on account of complexion. To John Howell and his wife, Naomi, were born Ezekiel, Oct. 30, 1775; Archer, born Oct.

19, 175S; Susanna, born August 28, 1760; Noah, born Mav 22, 1762; John. Feb. 5, 1765; Huldah, born May 28, 17C8; Esech, born Jan. 14, 1771; bom August 28, 1773, died 1832; Joseph, born Feb. 18, 1776, and Abner, born Dec.

Because the spirit of selfishness is stronger within us than unselfishness.

We are all under its spell. After dwelling on the evils of selfishness in various departments of human endeavor and narrating a Hindoo story to illustrate the deteriorat-ing influence of this, retarding quality, Rabbi Joseph, referring again to the text, addressed himself more especially to the congregation and said in. conclusion: '-Welcome, then, oh thou newly born daughter of time, 5,874, come and bring healing to every aching She is survived by a daugiuer, Mary, and also four brothers, and a sister as follows: Joseph and Howard Walters, of Bethlehem; 'Klwood and Oliver Walters, of Allentown and Mrs. George Fry, of Egypt, Pa.

The records show Edward Howell disposed of estates in Bucks couiwy in K.

among which was the manor of Westbury in Marsh Gibbon, purchased by his grandfather, William Howell, in 1536. The old stone manor house is still standing (1887) -though the remains of an old foundation near it shows that some portions of it have been taken down. It is of two full stories and what Js called a double house, nearly covered with ivy. In 1639 Edward Howell came with his family to Boston, where he was made freeman March 14, 1639-40. He soon moved to Lynn, where he had a grant of 500 acres.

During the winter of 1639-40 a new settlement was projected on Long Island, of which he seems to have been the leader, as the compact or agreement of terms of founding the plantation is in his handwriting, as well as the laws adopted, by the first settlers and to the last year of his life, he was always a magistrate and member of the Colonial Legislature at Hartford. The manner in which his name is mentioned in the colonial records of New-England and New York point to the same conclusion. Edward Howell built the houses occupied in his lifetime by William P. Herrick, nearly opposite the present residence of Captain James M. Herrick, and the two adjoining house lots to the north, his front' extending to Job's lane, as he had purchased three shares in the corporations of the settlement.

This house was taken downvabout 1862, by Captain Philetus Pierson, who purchased the homestead. His three shares entitled him to own 3,000 acres within the boundaries of the town. Edward Howell's son, Major John Howell, married Susannah and had 11 children, seven' sons and four daughters. It is said of Major John Howell, he was a man of distinction and onewho more than any other of his contemporaries in Southampton was entrusted with the management of public business, especially in its graver relations with New England and the colonial governmet of New York. But we must pass to his brothers.
