It also states that when the parties accompanied a police man to the police station to make an explana. tion of their conduct they asked that the Americaa be arrested for the assault but that the sergeant at the desk refused to make the arrest.

In the forefront, to-day, of American states men, looms, large on the horizon, the colossal figure of Wm. H. Taft. Physically he stands over six feet tall, and is of a robust build, in propontion to his height; a veritable physical in, and his intellectual powers are, on the same massive scale: he is in high health, and the true way to describe his age, is, to state the fact that he is in the prime of life, at about the zenith of his powers, or in the words of Victor Hugo, you may say, he is young enough and old enough for anything.
But, in order to comply with ordinary usage, we shall give some particulars, and pass in very brief review some few of the facts of his biography which will prove at this time, spr: cially instructive and interesting.
Wm. Howard Taft was born on the 15th Sept., 1857, at Cincinnati, Hamilton County, U.S.A., and will therefore be only 48 years old, on his next birthday the 15th of this cur rent month,” which is distinctly young, as public men are regarded, in America, and in unge. In 1878 he graduated from Yale University, in the general subjects of a Uni- versity education, and from Cincinnati Col- lege, he graduated in Law, in 1889, and later in the same year, be was admitted to the Bar of the Supreme Court of his State. In the fol lowing year, 1881, he was appointed Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, which position he re signed a year later, for the purpose of becom ing Collector of Internal Revenue of the First District of Ohio, under President Arthur, and which Collectorship he resigned two years later, in 1883, when be resumed legal practice and devoted himself with great zeal to his pro fession.

The world knows, by this time, that this is substantially what the American Flag stands for.
Moffett went downstairs and appreached them as they turned to go away. On his approach one of them raised his cane, and when spoken to dealt Mr. Moffett a sound blow on the hand. Angered by the blow Moffett, using the flat of his hand, pushed me of them to the ground and the other from him. His dog had follow- ed him to the street, and when the one native fell to the ground he pounced upom him and siezed him by the sleeve, not doing any barin, however,
The other then ran for a policeman. On the arrival of the police officer all went to the station and there explanations were made. The officer at the desk, satisfied that the na- tives, had committed a violation both of the city ordinance and of decency, said that charges
