Family Ranked Among the Plain
People for Many Years.

The Tafts--those who at present are
the Tafts--hail ancestrally from Tx
bridge, Mass. They say that Tafts are
so thick in Uxbridge that even a WON
an can't throw a stone without hitting
one.
Some years ago-in 1874, to be exact
there was a Taft reunion In Tx
bridge, to which descendants OF the
original Robert Taft came fiocking
from all parts of the country. One OF
the conspicuous features of the affair
was a historical address by Alphonso
Taft. father Of the present Republican
candidate. He traced the history of
various branches OF the family, and
when he came to the one 90 which he
and his children belonged he said:
"Our family have not embarked much
upon national politics. except that they
try when national independence was
TO be won, and also when the Union
was at stake. But brilliant political
careers have not been characteristic of
the Tafts in the past. 1t is not safe to
say what may be in store for them.
There is a tide In the affairs of men
and also OF families"
This is taken from the account OF
the reunion published at the time. AL
phonso TAFT would perhaps have been
somewhat dazzled If he could have fore
seen how quickly and brilliantly the
family would proceed TO .embark upon
national politics" He himself started
the turn Of the tide which he predict
ed. 1t seems to be reaching its food
Ia the career OF the son who that year
was entering Yale.
AS Alphonso Taft described his i'm
mediate ancestors one sees where his
son got certain characteristics. Peter
Taft 1715) was "a large. cookbook
ing man of magnanimous disposition"
He had four SONS.
Aaron, the candidates ancestor, was
also so magnanimous that ne lost
money by indorsing friends notes
he was a man 'of great intelligence
and integrity" And then, going some
what further back, there was Captain
william Taft. who took Barney Cas-
tie IN the sixteenth century "by blair
uey quite as much as by military
prowess." Good stock was Captain
William from which to make a TWEEN
tieth century Secretary of War. Will

Merely a Su.,uestion.

During the dinner hour on board q
steamer the other day a passenger
was much disturbed by the vulgar way
In which the man who sat next to him
ate his meat. At last, after watching
him pick a bone In a very primitive
fashion. he could control his feelings
no longer. and, turning TO the offend
ing party. he said: Don't you think
YOU would be more comfortable II you
took that out on the mat!"-Tit-Bits.

6arbarous English Custom.

Boys in the west of England believe
that by squeezing a mole to death be-
tween the hands and touching the af-
fected parts with the blood that oozes
from the mouth of the dying animal
warts will disappear and will not re-
appear. The culprits are convinced
that moles. worms and other subter-
ranean jewellers have no feelings, and,
therefore, 1t is not cruelty to put
them to death in this way.
