All these things sound good, and
they are pleasant memories but
there's something still more striking
about this Odd iaah in this out-of-the
way neighborhood. He says that
Thomas a'Becket was his ancestor.
Thomas a. ecket--once Archbishop of

then after some years knighted by his
church. and his grave shrine for
pilgrims for three hundred years; and
this man at Weeks Mills direct de-
scendant of the famous Archbishop.
Perhaps 1t Is only tradition. But his
other statements are verified by pa-
pers and signatures. In this latter
claim, too, he has evidence which
bitches him on to the Thomas a'Beck-
ct lineage. Thomas a'Becket-Chris-
tian Coppelman-only step between
"a few centuries fills the gap. They
were both fighters and fighters of the
same principle. We don't know Just
where Thomas a'Becket got his ex-

tian has the same kind OF stun IN his
makeup. He lives in a very humble
home; he Is cared for by a very de-
vout wife.
