He was a Minaker, one of the members of that estimable family among the early settlers in the South Bay countny. Squire Thomas and his estimable ' wife raised a large family. I remember were Hamilton, the late Thomas, An- drew, Calvin, Hiram, and their sisters, Malvina and Gertrude. About twenty years ago I met Webster Wel- banks, a son of Calvin's, in San Francisco. "He and his cousin, one of the Minaker boys, were in busi- ness there. At the head of South Bay there lived George A. Welbanks; his wife was also a Minaker. The chil- dren consisted mostly of girls. At the head of the bay also lived Wil- liam Welbanks, generally known as "Bill" Welbanks. I don't remember Who his wife was. -Anyhow there was quite a family of boys and girls. Of the boys I remember the names, Palen and Willlam, the latter 1 think married Tabitha 'Rorabeck who went to my school on Royal street in the early '50's. Tabitha was a close stu- dent, and became a school teacher. The last to mention of that numer- vous name is David Welbanks, who lived on the south side of South Bay. David had quite a large family of boys and girls. I named one of the giris--ocalled her after my mother-- Eliza. Ir she is living She will be near three score and ten.

All hail, Macbeth; Hall to thee, |} SO I Early Fall Thane of Glamis. All hail, Macbeth! 'Thane of Cawdor. All hail, Macbeth, who shall be hereafter. So chanted the three witches who lured Macbeth, by promises of power, on to the black deeds that have made .the name a synonypi for treachery justly rewarded. the castle of Cawdor has ¢ down to us, thanks to Shakespeare's great drama, as a scene of dark crimes and unearthly ° visitations, says the Kansas City Star. Whatever may have been the his- | torical accuracy of Shakespeare's story, Cawdor ever since has had an evil repute. In the play Macbeth was made Thane of Cawdor, the sec- ond honor promised by the witches, in payment for his early loyalty to | King Duncan in a war against lhe | Norwegians. But Macbeth, inspired | by the witches and driven pon by the | ambitions of his cold-blooded wife, | slew Duncan 'when the king paid a visit to Cawdor and followed this murder with numerous others. Now the estates of the Earl of Cawdor--earl is but a changed ver- sion of thane--are to be sold. Hard times have come upon the Cawdors, as well as upon' many other titled | landowners in England and Scotland. | So the old castle of Cawdor and the finely wooded lands surrounding it are on the market. Whether the old castle now stand- | ing on the estate is the one Shake- | speare had in mind is uncertain. There was a castle there in the morning of a Scottish history. The one there now must date back 500 years or more, and it has been changed little int enturies since it was built. There Story that .Thane William of Cawdor was gtant- ed permission to build a castle by the Scottish king whom he served. He 'was sorely perplexed as to a site, but in a dream he was told to put all the treasure-he had collected in a coffer, then to bind it on a donkey's back" and build 'his castle wherever the donkey should stop. The donkey stopped beside a hawthorn tree and lay down to rest. The castle is said to have been built about this tree. Certain it is that a hawthorn tree stood for many years in the lowest vault of the tower. The Cawdors have a grim history, one filled with tragedy .and no small amount of misfortune, The recent career of the family serves to illus- trate this phase of the Cawdor his- tory. There have been five earls of Cawd'r in twenty years, and two of the five met violent deaths. The present earl is only 20 years old. Muriel of Cawdor perhaps is the most famous in the line. At least she serves as a figure in one of the old Scottish folk romanges. She, was sought after by the Earl of Argyll for his son, Sir John Campbell, and was kidnapped when only 12 years old. Her uncles, the Cawdors, heard of the 'kidnapping and set out to re- cover her. They came upon her cap- tors and slew eight of them, all sons of Campbell of Inverliver, and obtain- ed what they believed Was the girl. But it ed out to be only a sheaf of straw dressed in Muriel's clothes, The Campbells had escaped with Muriel herself and she became the bride of the heir of Argyll. It was only nine miles from the castle that the Battle of Culloden was fought and the hopes of the Pre- | tender dashed. And Lord Lovat, the ' Scottish Jacobite, sought refuge .in Hail to thee, king | failure of the Stuart rebellion, The drawbridge still hangs in front of the castle, as it has hung for centuries, and the castle towers, gray and grim, above the birches and oaks about it. There is something at once solemn and Impressive about the ancient place, full in keeping with its history and its romantic place in Hterature. The thought of it passing into irreverent hands, to be changed .and modernized, cannot be other than: unpleasant. . Fathers and Sons. i The Hon. Frank Russell, K.C., who has been appointed to the vacancy on the Chancery Bench caused by the promotion of Mr. Justice Youn ger to the Court of Appeal, is the fourth son of the late Lord Chief Justice, Lord Russell of Killowen. He is 62 years of age, was called to the Bar in 1893, and took silk in 1908. The appointment gives us two sons of Lord Chief Justices who have fol- lowed so far in their fathers' foot- steps as to reach judgeships. Lord Coleridge is the other. His father was succeeded in the Chief Justice- ship by his new colleague's father, Lord Russell of Killowen. The sons of politicians follow their fathurs more often. Lord Gladstone and Lo Salisbury dre Cabinet Ministers whose fathers were Premiers. Sut Pitt and his father, the Earl of Chut- ham, are the only father and son who have both Ween Premiers.
