POLICEMEN IN THE COUNTRY

The reorganization of the famous Broadway
squad has restored one Of the spectacles of
New Yorks chief thoroughfare. In truth
the sight afforded by the ninety blue coated
giants who guard the Broadway crossings,
from the Battery to Forty-fifth street, is
worth looking at by those who talk about the
physical degeneracy OF the modern man.
The shortest man in the lot stands feet 2
inches in his stockings, and the heavy police
shoes and helmets add a few inches to this
generous natural endowment They tower
above the eddying throng that fills the street
all day long like so many blue beacons above
stormy sea. Women children and the
physically infrm make for them from blocks
around, certain that they will be safely
ploted through the wilderness of trucks,
cabs and cable cars that turns the street into
very Charybdis during business hours.
The two roundsmen in charge of the two
sections Of the squad are probably the big
gest policemen in the world. Their names

"when I was a boy" said William Ewar,
Gladstone in one Of his speeches, 81 was
particularly proud OF a ceCtaln youthful an
cestor OF mine, who ran away from home TO
fight at the battle OF Nevilles Cross. The
manner in which he eluded parental vigil
ance and escaped to the wars does as much
to his ingenuity as to his courage" Speech
OF Right Hon. w. II. Gladstone to the
pupils, Chester schools 1861
The writer had been at some pains to dis
cover who this particular anceetor was, and
has finally succeeded in identifying him as
william Gledstanes (such was the ancient
form of the Gladstone family name). who
dwelt at Manltowe, on the Scottish borders,
where his father held lands from the first
earl OF Douglas. No book has ever been
published on the former William Gladstone,
but through the courtesy of Mics Florence
Gladstone and of Sic william Fraser, author
OF "The Douglas Book" eGough family and
local tradition has been gathered to make
plain the story OF this remarkable boy.
For VIII Gladstone was only a boy when
in 1916 his father, Gledstanes of Manitowe,
was called upon by zen oveTlord. Earl Doug
las, to march against the English.
Now little VIII was very anxious to go
forth by his fathers side and fight In the
Scottish army; but, the boy was OF small

A literary man Of fame and a master Of

he gave it up on both counts, yet "giffen"
is a proper English word, neither obsolete

The young girl and her mates had been max
ing game amcng themselves by giving out
to each other for spelling and definition short
words that, like "giffen," could be consid-
cred part OF the living literary English
tongue; to allow any others was to make the
game too hopelessly difficult; as 1t was, when
any one was able to show acquaintance with

The giant OF the family, Frank l.. Taggart,
lacks but half an incn of measuring seven
feet. About a year ago he was inspired by
his brothers success as a policeman to seek
admission to the service. He made journey
to New York for that purpose. 1t takes a
good deal to startle the citizens OF the
metropolis, but young Taggart created a
genuine sensation and was followed by an
admiring crowd of small boys wherever he
went. The clerks in the civil service bureau
were thrown into panic by his appeacance
and had to get a new set OF measuring in
sruments before they could ascertain his
dimensions.
Taggart's stature proved a bar rather than
an aid to the realization OF his ambition, and
he was rejected In the physical examination
The department has rule which provides
that the maimum weight for man six
feet shall be $50 pounds and that for every
additional inch In height he must weigh
fifteen pounds more. At that time Taggart
tipped the scales at just 1876 pounds, but in
order TO be accepted he should have weighed
