freshman had only the bare right of
existence conceded him by the sopho-
mores. Certslnly he had no right to
walk on the clean sidewalks while
there was mud in the streets. And
as Pigott and Taft, strolled beneath
the elms a gang Of half dozen
sophs rushed them. Under the sophs
rule, Taft and Pigott we're due for a
ducking in the mud. Plgott, who
was a featherweight. stood aside.
Taft said softly: But do not care
TO go out In the mud"
Now, can't you imagine with what
unholy Joy that soft spoken declara-
tion must have filled those sophs?
They gave the war cry and the view
halloo. and the other vocal outcries
intended to express happiness, and
charged.
When they got through charging,
william II. Taft was slowly walking
up Elm street, arm in arm with James
p. Pigott. out in the cold mud stood
the half dozen sophs, beginning to
realize that they had tried to butt o
fair-slzed locomotive of the track.
As long as Taft remained at college,
he had the freedom OF the sidewalk.
The whole sophomore class would
have hollered for help before they
would have tried TO fuss with him
again.
Not that he was belligerent He
was too peaceful, In fact, to suit his
most warlike friends. who learned

INCIDENTS IN W. II. TAFPS LIFE WHICH SHOW THE
STUFF THIS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IS MADE {

when he hears II, for II has been
ding-dolnged into his ears ever since
he graduated from the age Of knicker-
bockers and pudgy ankles clad In
home-knit stockings. The story goes
that when the present secretary OF
war was going TO school in Cincin-
natl, bis school report one month
showed that the future statesman had
devoted moreof his attention to hand
bah and other delights Of youth than
TO his books.
Mrs. Taft, mother like excused the
boy. Even II the report isn't very
good he's almost at the head Of his
class" said she.
No Mediocrity for "willie."
But Judge Taft shook his head.

said he.
Unfortunately for Willie, that was
overheard, and the other boys in the
family, boy like. made his hfe miser-
able. n anything could make "Bill"

father was president.

sure enough. II never has done for
him. Why. even when he was a
JInlor In Yale the other boys OF his
class pcked him out for a great
man In embryo. IL was known then
that his real, living ambition was
one day 20 ST upon the supreme
bench. And the Yale boys Loyalty
held that II wasn't question OF
win TAFT getting to that elevation.
The only question was how soon
would he reach H. And incidental
