Thoy my that a nlco lltllo city

ntudilod tho Imposing mnM of unow
orowned hill before him, hu got up
nnd doltliomtoly put hlit foot through
hla canvna and went off nnd got
drunk. "Ifn too d big" whs hi
only exaiifte.
That'll tho way any one inuat faol In
trying to portray tho almrneler of
Beoretnry of Wnr William II. Tnft.
Ho'ti too big. You ouu ooopor round

Phlllpplno commkwlon, he onllod
Judgo Day In oonHUItatlon. Ho told
of hUs troubles, of tho man ho had
nanvnimud nnd found wanting. And
thou ho ondod with: "IIolp mo out,
Day. I must hnvo n bin, brond man;
nnd ho must bo strong, faithful, lion
out."
And Day wild: "Woll, why don't
you appoint hlin; you know him.
That description Ills 'IllII' Taft to it
hair."
And wliuu President McKlnley
IhouKht It over, he thoiiKht ho, too.
Hut Tail didn't WHtit the Job. "I'm
not thtt man you want," wild he.
"Why, I Imve novor ovon bollovod
thnt tho Philippine should he re

prevailed upon him to accept, for ha
Mr. MclClnley's lllunt rloiiH Hticeeasor

ho graduated from tho age of knicker
bockers nnd pudgy ankles clad In
home-knit stockings. Tho story goea
tliat whon tho prosont socrotary of
war was going to school In Cincin
nati, his school report one month
showed that tho futuro statesman had
dovotod moreof his attention to hand
ball and other dolightB of youth than
to his books.
Mrs. Taft, mother like .oxcusod the
boy. "Even If tho report Isn't very
good ho's nlmost at tho head of his
class," said she.
No Mediocrity for "Willie."
Hut Judge Taft shook his head.
"Mediocrity won't do for Wllllo,"
said ho.
Unfortunately for Willie, that wns
ovorheurd, nnd tho other boys In tho
family, boy llko, mado hla Wfo miser
able, If anything could mako "Dill"
Taft unhnppy at that ngc. Hut tho
fatlior was prescient.
Modloorlty won't do for "Willie,"
suro enough. It novor has dono for
him. Why, ovon whon ho wns n
Junior In Yale tho other hoys of hla
olmw ifckod him out for a grout
ostly ovor somo matter of groat lm
modlato intorost. In those days a
freohman had only tho bnro right of
oxlstonco conceded him by tho sopho
moroa. CortoJlnly ho had no right td
walk on tho cloan sidewalks while
there was mud In tho streets. And
as Plgott and Tnft, strolled beneath
tho elms a gang of half a dozen
sophs rushed thorn. Under tho sophB'
rule, Taft and Plgott wero duo for a
ducking in tho mud. Plgott, who
was a featherweight, stood aside.
Tnft said seftly: "But I do not care
to go omt In tho mud."
Now, can't you Imnglno with what
unholy Joy that soft spoken declara
tion rnusb have flllod those sophs?
Thoy gava tho war cry and tho view
halloo, and tho other vocal outcries
Intended to express happiness, nnd
chnrged.
Whon they got through chnrginj,
William H. Taft was slowly walking
up Elm stroot, arm In arm with James
