the next President of the United States
that the members of the University Club
liked to look upon Mr.. Taft, but simply
as Bill Taft of Yale. rs"
Mr. Davis expected cheers, but not
such prolonged and enthusiastic cheers as
resulted from his mention of Taft,s name
in connection with the presidency. Every
body got UP on his chair and yelled him
self hoarse. waving napkins and every
thing else he could lay his hands on.
When the banquet was over nothing else
was talked of among the banqueters but
Taft for the next President.
What d splendid candidate he would
make" was the verdict of his admiring
friends and club fellows.
Strange to say. all of the local news
paper men, except representative of The
Star. had left the banquet hall for
few minutes just at the time the demon
stration took place, and the next day The
Star was the only Washington paper that
printed the story of the beginning of
Mr.. Taft's presidential boom. In fact,
country was fortunate enough to get the
story as soon as The Star.

photograph. the STORY was prominently
tracted widespread attention.

After the banquet Mr.. Taft walked
home down Connecticut avenue. and The
Star man walked part of the way with
him. talking about the banquet and about
his new-f1edged boom. The Secretary of
War was in the best Of humor. and it
could easily be seen that Mr.. Davis
speech had pleased him immensely. He
repeated 1aughingly remark he had
made in substance at the banquet in re-
Spouse to Mr. Davis. 1t was to the effect
that he was glad he was assured of the
support of the District of Columbia, as
that would insure his election beyond a
doubt. Although pleased, Mr.. Taft was
taking the whole matter as a huge joke
This interesting incident, destined to
become historical, was recalled last
Thursday night by the members of the
University Club who serenaded Mr.. Taft
at his home in this city. The club is now

Boy Alleged Incendlary.

The young son of A. Nee
Funk was detected by Andrew
Wingert, who was driving along
the Ellis Kyle farm, near Cheese
town, running from a large straw
stack that was on fire. Mr.. Win
CERT caught the boy and asked him
if he had set the straw on fire. 1t
is alleged that he replied in the
affirmative. The fire spread to
the barn and hogpen, both Of
which were entirely destroyed.
Several months ago the boywent
on the Kyle farm and started to
pick cherries. Mrs. Kyle told him
he could not pick them unless he
gave her half. The boy refused
to enter into such an agreement
and is said to have left the place
angry, declaring he would return
some time and chop the tree down.
