A TAFT WHO MADE HIS MARK
President Tells of Ancestor Who
Wasn't Posted on the
Three RS.

That the first Of the Tafts TO come tc
America was a blacksmith who in the
latter years Of his life had to make "hls
mark" when signing d paper, was de-
veloped during visit of the four repuD.
hcan congressman from the Cumberland
mountain region of Kentucky, Tennessee
and Virginia to the White House with an
appeal for a pardon tor Pike county
Kentuckian recently sentenced to serve
five years in the penitentiary for alleged
obstruction Of process in federal courts.
The story was told by the president
himself, who was in rare good humor
when Representatives John W. Langley
and Caleb Powers of the mountain region
Of Kentucky, C. Bascum Slemp of Big
Stone Gap. Va, and Richard Waustin OF
Kentucky called with their appeal for
executive clemency for L. H. Sallyer of
HELLER, Pike county. Sallyer is one of
the prominent citizens Of the Cumber-
land mountain country and a man of
means.
Recently one compton and his wife
were summoned to appear before Judge
Mcdowell at Big Stone Gap as witnesses
in a moonshining case. The Comptons
had a dying child, which they did not
want to leave. When they received the
summons they consulted Sallyer. He
thought Of the dying child. advised them
to stick by it and they did, whereupon
the grand jury at Big Stone Gap indicted
Sallyer, who lived in Kentucky, for OBJ
st-ucting the process of the court. AS
soon as sallyer heard of the indictment
he bridled his mare and rode through the
mountains to Virginia. To the court he
strode and demanded an immediate trial.
He got a 1t and was sentenced to five
years. Now he is out on bail awaiting
the result Of the appeal to the president.
sallyer's petition for clemency was
signed with his mark. When President
Taft saw this he told the Cumberland
mountain congressmen-the only repub-
licans from these three states-about his
own ancestor, Henry Taft, about seven
generations back. the first Of the family
to come to America.
The president said this ancestor knew
how to read and write, but had been a
blacksmith all his life. and when UP in
the eighties the tendons Of his wrists
were so stiff that he always made his
mark in signing papers, one Of which is
now a valued heirloom Of the Taft family.

CONSIDERED A GOOD THING
Penalizing Remarriage of
Widow.

Why should 1t be considered as contrary
to public policy to leave money to wife
on conditions that she does not marry
againf Colonel Astors will, we are told
may be nullified because Of the clause
to that effect, and with all due respect
to public policy it seems to be very
sensible clause. The objection arises from
the wholly mistaken idea that women
should be encouraged to have as many
babies as possible, an idea from which
We wholly dissent after a critical in
spection and an involuntary hearing Of
most Of the babies within reach. Let us
put upon record the valiant opinion that
there are too many babies already and
that they are Of an astonishingly low
grade, and also the opinion that Herod
was one Of the most enlightened mon
archs of which history has any record
What we need is fewer babies and better
ones, and we have particularly small
hopes Of any baby born with a golden
spoon in its, mouth.
Now when a man puts clause of this
kind into his will his intention is clear
that while it is his duty and his pleasure
to support his lawful wife and to see to
it that she never for one moment has an
ungratified desire short of the moon, he
does not feel under any obligation to
support some other man whom he knows
nothing Of And why should he? Naturally
he assumes that any man wishing to
marry his widow will have amassed a.
sufficiently large fortune to do so, and in
that case he prefers his own fortune to
revert to the home for lost cats or to the
fund for the introduction of freedom to
the Cannibal Islands. Probably he has
no objection to his widow marrying again
II she is sufficiently fleet Of foot to ac-
complish that object. But he does object
to finding the funds for the other man 8
extravagances and luxuries. There seems
to be nothing in this that is opposed to
public policy. Quite the contrary.-San
francisco Agronaut.

SEEKING FLAG FOR IRELAND
Near View of Home Rule Starts En-
thusiastic Patriots on New
Tack.

! Now that Ireland is within sight OF
home rule quite a lively debate has
arisen as to what should be the national
flag. Most people would at once reply
that the golden harp on a green ground
has always been the accepted emblem,
but there are many who declare this is
not the national flag but pertains only
to Leinster,
At least ten flags have their adherents,
none of which includes any reference to
the shamrock. The most ancient is be-
lieved to be the spear and serpent flag
established In remote days to commemo-
rate the curing of Gaodhal Glas, ancestor
of Milesins, OF snake-bite by the rod Of
Moses. The OSulivans have carried this
banner in later times, Another and more
favored design Is the golden sunburst on
a blue ground, the traditional emblem of
Flonn MacCumhalps militia.
The arms Of Munster-three golden
crowns on a blue ground, representing
the three kingdoms Of Desmond, Ormond
and Thomond-figured as the Irish flag
after the Norman invasion in ITO. but
King Henry VIII Of England in 1547
feared 1t might be confused with the
triple tiara Of the pope, so he changed 1t
to the golden harp on blue ground.
The O'Neills. Shane and, Hugh, how
ever. grew to such strength in the latter
half of that century that their emblem
of red hand on a white ground was
regarded as "the red hand of Ireland"
BY the time the seventeenth century had
opened Munster was flying three crowns
on a blue field, Connaught a parti-
colored coat, Meath a king enthroned and
ground.
The Cromwellians regarded the golden
harp on the blue ground as the Irish
national flag but shipping letter of
1642 refers to the harp being shown on
"a green field" But at later date
the Irish who fought against Cromwell
under a banner showing a red
cross on a golden ground. This emblem
is used in the Ulster arms of today.
The green figured at the battle Of the
Boyne in $780, but on the side Of King
Williams forces. while their opponents
fought under the white cockade." Grat-
tan's parliament used the harp on
blue ground, but the united irishmen
used green again in 1873 because, 1t is
said, the blend Of blue and orange that
produced green typified the union of
north and south.
Since then green has mostly figured
In Irish history, though Charles Stuart
Parnell considered 1t an unlucky color.
In the Union Jack there is a diagonal
cross called by the English ''st. Patrcks
cross" and extracted from the arms Of
Trinity college; while in 1S4s there was
an Irish tri-color, presented to Dublin
citizens by Meagher, and composed of
green, white and orange.
With such wealth of choice It is
not surprising that efforts are being
made to produce composite emblem.
prize has been offered for the best but
meanwhile Francis Joseph Bigger of
Ardrigh. Belfast, has contributed a shield
design that covers most of the ground
He thinks the flag itself should be
square. not oblong, for such flag waves
better, is less easily damaged and shows
the design more clearly.-Dublin Letter

SARTORIAL HINTS.
By Elizabeth Lee.

That long sleeves are fashionable
even for the smartest Of evening sowns
should be welcome news for the elder.
~ woman who wishes to be modishly
as well as becomingly dressed.
l can imagine a very lovely gown de.
veloped from ivory charmeuse and black
lace or figured net that would be an ex-
cellent standby. The skirt finished with
a slight train would be Of the white silk
and the tunic running up into points on
the waist and down the arms over the
wrists would be made from the lace
These sleeves should fit the arms per-
fectly, and end In a point filed in with
llisse ruching.
The top Of the gown could be ar
ranged In folds of silk and white tulle
falling into the points of black lace in
V effect.
Such a gown would come in for day
or evening reception, dinner, luncheons
teas. etc.. and, in fact, any occasion
where formal toilet Is required.
Another style of sleeve suiting the
elderly woman who is slender is formed
Of puffs from elbow to wrist, endine
for an afternoon gown, the friI tied to
the wrist with ribbon.
Inc sleeve buttoning from wrist to
elbow Is another becoming model. A
simple linen frock closing down the left
side. the edge cut into round scallops
and buttonholed or bound, fitted with
surplice waist and wrist length
sleeves. would be smart. The collar in
sailor shawl effect would be scalloped,
also the sleeves at the wrist continu-
fine embroidery would be in keeping
with this dress Small pieces of en-
broidery can be brought into use for
making long sleeves.
| have in mind a biscuit-colored wool
back satin gown that was brought up
to date by a few motifs of black chiffon
embroidered in and applied with
cream The skirt was cut away in
the front at the hem and slashed to
close up the left side. The part cut
and the bottom Of the skirt hemmed
with black chiffon, which ran up the
side to the waist line
A point of the embroidery was set
on at the bust and taken into q sash
Of the chiffon tied in the back The
At the arm smoothly. and deep pointed
cuffs of the embroidery ran up to the
elbow to meet them. BY the way, now
that the very tight-itting sleeve is in
vogue-I mean from the elbow down.
ward-the little glove fasteners will be
found much more convenient than hooks
and eyes. They fit snugger and are
easier to open and close than hooks.
For summer wear the full length
mousquefaire sleeves made from net
or chiffon would be very cool as well
as smart looking. A half-worn gown
could be renovated by having the yoke
and sleeves cut away, the waist in "
effect. The front edges and the wide
armholes could be finished with a fiat
trimming. The vest and mousquetaire
sleeves should be Of net or chiffon, and
one Of the new net rufus tied to the
neck with black velvet would be a fin
ishing touch to a charming frock.

UNUSUAL TIES FOR
THE SHIRT WAIST

A most unusual and good-looking era
vat for wear with wash silk shirt waists
made in mannish styles is Of black satin
There is fiat bow of the satin and one
long end of the satin made double and
widening out toward the bottom.
This end Is about eight inches long and
Is one and half inches wide at the top
and two and three-quarters inches wide
at the bottom. Six round silver or gold
buttons are placed at half-inch intervals
at the lower end.
On some of these ties piece Of rather
heavy cream flet lace is folded fiat
around the satin end. about an inch and
a half from the bottom, and the buttons
are sewed in row on the lace.
Another black satin tie has a square
bow laid In fiat plaits and one long end
OF the double satin with a little ecru
vaienciennes friiled on each side for about
four inches of it's length up from the
lower end. The effect is very quaint.
