learned men of the name of Williams
was Col. Jonathan Williams. He was
related to Benjamin Franklin, and
was in France with him about the
commencement of the Revolution. His
father was chairman of the meeting
which voted to throw the tea into Bos-
ton Harbor in the year IVA. Col. JON
athan Williams was a major in the
United States Artillery and was after
wards appointed colonel in the corps
of engineers at West Point.
He was the discoverer of the marine
thermometer, by means of which, by
showing the difference of temperature
of the water in the Gulf Stream and
the surrounding ocean mariners could
readily tell whenever they were in the
stream.
Col. Ephraim Williams, who was
borun in 1715, took part in the colonial
wars. In his regiment, at one battle,
the chaplain and surgeon and quarter
master were his relatives, all Williams
by name, and his brother Joseph was
an ensign. By his will, Col. Williams
made a liberal donation for a free
school at Wiliamstown, Conn, called
after his name, which was the founda-

In the War of the Revolution many
Williamses were enrolled in various
branches of the service, from colonies
to drummer boys. Maj. Gen. Joseph
Warren, who fell at Bunker Hill, was
fifth in descent from Robert Williams,
a grandson of Deborah Williams.
Gen. Otto Holland Williams was a
distinguished officer and a confidant
of Washington. David Williams was
one of the captors of Andre, the spy.
The offer of money and the splendid

THE GENEROSITY
OF MR.. TOGGS
By FRANK E. CRAFT.

Mr.. Toggs was peculiar; but every
one is peculiar who is assertive and
does not think in all things just as we
do
Mr.. Toggs was not considered a
generous man: but then the standard
for generosity varies so that we can
not always accept even the Judgment
of friends.
Mr.. Toggs was generous with him
self. This was unquestionably con-
coded. In dress he was generous to
prodigality. Tie appearance of his
well-developed six feet two of phys1-
cal manhood, from the Iustre of his
high-top hat and Immaculate linen to
the sheen of his number tens, was
faultless.
In business, however he was close:
SO close that he could shave a bargain
to a finer point and grind transaction
to a keener edge than any other man
in the market. But that was business
and we do not look for much display
of generosity in that particular field.
1t was in his family relations that
Madam Gossip charged him most
unsparingly. She said he kept no
servant for his wife; that he doled out
to her a pittance of SIS a week for
expenses of table, fuel light and per-
sonal requirements; that he never al
lowed her family to visit her on ac-
count of the added expense that would

more than once proposed the erection
of a monument to him. A tablet to
his memory is seen on a wall of the
chapel of the college.
One of the distinguished presidents
of Williams College, Mark Hopkins,
was a connection of the Williams
family.

the Williamses are allied by marriage,
is the Gallup family. Capt. John Gal

The name of Williams is very an
cient Most of the original members
of the name were doubtless Of Welsh
extraction. They form a large por-
ton of the principality of Wales
somewhat like the O's of Ireland and
the Macs of Scotland.
Not few of the names in Wales
trace their lineage as far back as
Adam. thereby making a genealogical
tree of imposing proportions.
It seems to be well established that
the family is lineally descended from
Marchudel, who belonged to one of
the fifteen tribes of North Wales. He

Great, King of the Britons, about S49
The royal house of Tudor was de-

The earliest form of the name is
Wilhelm, which is composed of Will
and Helen. 1t is a little Pathological
to say that Will means will, but not
quite so much so to say that Helm
signifies helmet, it being the diminu-
ton form. Originally then, Wilhelm
meant something very like STOUT

mouth, England, in 1898. With his
wife, Elizabeth Stratton, he came to
America in the ship Rose, in 1885. He
settled in Roxbury, Mass, and lived to
the age of 100 years.
There is a tradition that his wife,
Elizabeth, was much opposed to COM
ing to this country, but, being strange
ly impressed by a dream that If she
came she would be the mother of a
long line of men who would become
prominent in state and church, she
consented, fully believing that her
dream would be realized. AS the fame
of many Americans by the name of
Williams is world wide, her dreamI
has apparently been fulfilled.
Prominent in church and in educa-
tional matters, they have left enviable
records. They were also ready with
PEN and sword to lead the way to in
dependence. William Williams, fifth
in descent from Robert Williams, was
a member of the American Congress
in 1876 and 1777, and as such was one
of the signers of the Declaration of In
dependence from Connecticut.
In confirmation of the patriotism of
Mr.. Williams, the following anecdote
is told:
Towards the close Of the year 1875,
the military affairs of the colonies had
such a gloomy aspect that strong
fears began to prevail that the contest
would go against them. In this dark
time the Council of Safety for Con-

Another distinguished member of
the Williams family was oliver Crom-
well, the Protector and Pretender. His
ancestor, in the fourth remove, was
Morgan Williams, or rather Morgan
ap Williams, a Welsh gentleman of
considerable property, whose father,
William APP Yevan, held a position OF
honor in the house of the Duke of
Bedford, and even, it is said. in that
of his nephew, King Henry VII.
Morgan Williams married a sister
of Lord Thomas Cromwell after
wards Earl of Essex, and his descend
ants assumed the name of Cromwell.
Carlyle says that Cromwell de-
scended from Gen. Williams of
Berkshire, or from Morgan Williams.

my nose was a trife pink, and if
Johns shirt-front looked as though a
cyclone had passed over it, he was
happy and my eyes were bright, we
both felt about ten years younger,
and there wasn't the least sting of the
late unpleasantness left behind.
Since that epoch-making occasion,
I've had the commonsense to respect
the power of tears, and to use these
potent weapons of defense when the
occasion demands.
Mind you, I don't hold any brief
for the cry-baby, or the tyranny of
tears, but I've learned that, while to
the masculine mind they are a fearful

spects and yields to them as he won't
yield to the most virtuous- anger, or
the best brand of feminine logic And
they stir all the chivalry of his ma
ture.
Last summer, when the hot and
badgered agent at the railroad station
said, in the tone of voice of not very
torbearing bulldog, that there was no
chance of my carrying my trunk
through on the next train, I thought
for one wildly imprudent moment, of
protesting, reproaching, or demand
ing my rights. You see, I was on my

1t threatened to be a regular break

a voice husky with remorseful fear,
that was not to take on in that fash
ion, and that he'd get my trunk
aboard, if he had to wreck the road.

Indigestion may affect a complete
transformation in its victim. 1t will
make either saint or a demon of the
worst or best of men, or change a lion
into a lamb. Mr.. Toggs, after few
hours of torture, became a lamb.
He uncomplainingly swallowed

alarmed.
AS day and night in regular order
succeeded each other until five revolu-
tons of the earth on it's axis had been
completed, and Mr.. Toggs avowed that
the milestone was growing heavier, the
fox was unwearied in his endeavors
to claw out his vitals, and the mex
tinguishable fires burned with in
creased fury, and in the face of all he
was growing more and more lamb
like, Mrs. Toggs became correspond
ingly more alarmed. This complete
change could presage only one thing
the coming end.
"Dear!" gasped the tortured Mr..
Toggs, as he turned a look of intense
longing upon his unfailing wife, and
noted her anxious face, won't you
The Savannah morning news., 1903-04-26

Then Mrs. Toggs had a presentment
by rafting in the closet that he was
marked for death, and her little body
stopped in anticipation of the crushing
blow.
BY noon Mr.. Toggs declared that he
felt well enough to go out for walk
about the block. AS he was adjust
IF you'll give me the money, I'll set
tie the account for the medicines at
the druggists
Mr.. Toggs never liked bills to hang.
Mrs. Toggs handed her departing
lord and master a shining golden eagle
"a part of her weeks allowance for
all household expenses.
The druggist claimed half of the
gold, and Mr.. Toggs tucked the change
in his lower right-side waistcoat
pocket. But feeling a suspicious SEN
sation that prophesied a return of the
tortures, he hastened home, and calm
ly submitted to the untiring efforts of
his faithful nurse for relief.
That night Mr.. Toggs fell into a re-
freshing sleep, and awoke in the morn
ing a completely delivered man.
Here, dear, is that five dollars I
promised you," and his thumb and in
deX finger went down into the lower
pocket on the right side of his waist
coat, and he laid a five-dollar bill on
the bureau.
Mrs. Toggs murmured her thanks
between stifled sobs, but refrained
from touching the sacred testimonial
of his dying love. For, surely, Mr..
Toggs was nearing the end of his
earthly career. and his avowed i'm
provement was only a delusion. She
gazed upon him in helpless abandon
ment to the inevitable.
Mr.. Toggs proceeded with his toilet,
and when it was completed he turned
suddenly toward the bureau, and pick
ing up the money he had shortly be-
fore laid there, said in his old way:
81 think Mrs. Toggs, you saved this
much on me in household expenses,
for have not partaken of a single
meal while have been sick. I may
as well pay Elizabeth with it,"
And he FASTENED to find Elizabeth.
AS Mr.. Toggs left the room, his wife
experienced a sensation of joy. Mr..
Toggs was better. He was his old self
again. She was relieved of the dread
that hung over her and she was
happy
Here's the five dollars I promised
you," Mr.. Toggs said to Elizabeth,
who was busy preparing the morning
meal. He laid the bill upon the side
board in the dining room and strobe
away.
Mrs. Toggs and Elizabeth were so
happy that they could only gaze in
admiration at Mr.. Toggs as they sat
at the table, while he ate sparingly
of the morning repast.
Happy Mrs. Toggs stood with Mr..
Toggs lustrous high-top hat in her
hand when Mf. Toggs appeared ready
to leave for his office. After he had
taken a last reassuring look at himself
in the hall mirror, he went to the din
ing room, and said to Elizabeth, as
he took the five dollar bill from the
sideboard:
81 think your board has been worth
this much for the time you have been
with us as our guest"
Mrs. Toggs never questioned her
husbands intentions. It was enough
that he was well once more, and she
was happy
What Elizabeth thought and said as
she journeyed homeward would not be
complimentary as an epitaph.
All that day Mr.. Togg's countenance
was lighted with a complacent smile.
He was man well satisfied with HIM
