Travesty on Real FaIstaff.

Yarmouth has claim upon all Eng
lishmen quite independently Of its as
sociations with the breakfast bloater,
remarks writer in St. Nicholas. For
it was the home of Shakespeare's Fal-
staff, who appears to have been man
Of exemplary piety. The Falstaffs
were an old Yarmouth family.
"A Falstolfe or Falstaff," writes
John Richard Green, was bailiff Of
Yarmouth in 1881. Another is among
the first of its representatives in par
lament, and from that the members
Of that family filled the highest mu-
nicipal Offices. John Falstolfe, a man
of considerable account in the town,
purchased lands at the close Of the
fourteenth century in Caistor, and be.
came the father of Sir John Falstolfe,
who, after a distinguished military ca
reer, was luckless enough to give his
name to Shakespeare famous char
acter. In Yarmouth, however, he was
better known as benefactor to the
great church of st. Nicholas.
