New Hnven, Conn., April 1. Under graduate Yale welcomed former Presl dent William Howard Tnft hack to his alma mater to-day In a manner no less hearty nnd enthusiastic than was tho godspeed given Woodrow Wilson by tho Princeton students when he left Prince ton a month ago to take up the duties nt Washington that Mr. Taft was about to lay down. The parallel Is unique In tho history of this country. Mr. Tnft Is no stranger to New Haven, having made frequent trips hero during his presidency by virtue of being a mem ber of the Yale corporation, but It Is doubtful If he ever received a more cordial welcome. Practically tho entire student body, 3,0i'O strong, reinforced by n band, was at the station when Mr. Taft ami his party ar rived this afternoon from New York An equally large crowd of eltlens was also present. As the Taft party stepped from tho train, Captain Spalding of the foot ball team of last year stepped forward and presented Mrs. Taft with a great bouquet of violets. A moment later, Yale's famous "frog chorus" cheer with nine "Tafts" on the end, routed from 3.f0 throats. Both Mr. and Mrs. Taft were deeply moved by the reception. Mr. Tuft's fa mous smllo was lacking for a moment and he wore a serious look. As the dem ontsratlon grew, however, he smiled broadly and doffed his hat In acknowledg ment. Headed by the "Y" men of the athletic 1 teams and a bulldog ."training nt Its leash, I the procession proceeded to the campus ' to the ringing strains of old Vnle songs ' sung by the students. Mr. and Mrs. Taft with a delegation from the faculty fol lowed In an automobile. Arriving nt 1'nlverslty square on the campus, Mr. Taft was escorted to a bal cony on Memorial hall. As he staited to speak he received another ovation that lasted five minutes. Visibly affected, Mr. Taft said: .Men of lale: ou will believe m" , when 1 tell you that I am greatly touched by this student reception. When it was suggested to me, I deprecated It and i thought It might be better to defer It until I took my departure; but as I hope that may be Indefinitely postponed, and as 1 hope that Mrs. Taft anil I are to be come permanent residents of this city and members of the faculty of Yale College. 1 , thought it was best to take what was coming to me at flr.-t. "Men of Yale, I come here, wanting to help what little I can the young men who aro going out into tho na tion. I want to help preserve that part of the nation that Is worth pre serving and without which the nation cannot exist. If I can do this. I shall thank God for tho opportunity. "I am here to work In tho ranks with you and to aid tho president of the college who Is now away from you but who Is soon coming back In Im proved health. 1 propose a cheer for Arthur Hadlny." A long Yale cheer was 'riven with a will nnd another for Taft. Then caniu the Impressive singing of "Bright Col lege Years," Yale's song of songs, with the assemblage standing with bared heads. Mr. Taft Joined In tho sing ing. Mr. nnd Mrs. Taft later went to tho hotel where they are to make their home temporarily. GUILTY OF EXTORTION.

I Ml II t by eriuont oiiiiiu for Mnrjliuicl Count;. (E. I. rarrlnerlon in Boston Transcript.) People In Hauerstown, Md., marvel nt the activity and zeal of Mary Ij. Tltcomb.

Miss Titcomb 1b thu li brarian the only one the Washington County Free library has ever had. Washington county covers an area of r,0 sipiare miles, and tho farmer In the most remote corner Is Just as much en titled to a book ns tho mechanic on the next strict. There are 50,0"0 people In tho county and tho one Ki'eat Industry Is agriculture Miss Tltcnmb's special np peal, then, Is to tho fanners. At first the farmers were not liuncry for books. Indeed, some of them Krum bled mlKhtlly when tho library was built. It has been Miss Tltcomb's task, begun 11 years ago, not only ti K these books Into the hands of the fanners and their when, their soiIh and their daugh ters, but to get the books re.nl. wo" She has accomplished this result, to n large extent, and by means which are a striking tribute to the resourcefulness of womankind. Her work has boon, to ure a pet ex pression of hers, tho evolution of tho obvious "You couldn't expect a buey former to drive 10 miles for a book." fhe explains; "the obvious thing to 'lo was to cairy the book to him " A be ginning was made by sending out Iiokcs of books which were located In stores or homes In remote districts, I be books biing changed at freuuent Intervals V.TU13 plaa hOM uooa continued uoUl caw F.

Still, tho man and his wife on the back-roads were not reached. Yet the man paid his mlto Into the tax box and was entitled to the rights and privileges of the library. Miss Titcomb lay awake nights thinking about this isolated, book less farmer The fact that he didn't know he wanted a book made no differ ence to her. Showing him that ho did want it wan a part of the library's work. A concord wagon was being sent out to collect and deliver the station boxes, and the suggestion suddenly popped into tho librarian's mind that this wagon might Incidentally deliver Individual books along tho way. Then the proposi tion elaborated Itself until It had assum ed the form of a speclally-bullt wagon such a wagon ns had never before been seen, a mlnature library on wheels. Miss Titcomb worked out tho plan and had the wagon built. When it had been completed, 2e0 books were selected with the greatest care nnd placed on the shelves. Then a man who had lived among the people for years wius given tho reins nnd told to fill tho county with books. Ho proved to bo 11 mnn of re markable tact anil unfailing good nature. Many farmers and even a preacher spumed his books. Ho was told that the women, like the men, had no time for Idlo reading. Yet he continued to go his re.unds patiently anil persistently, offer ing his wares without money and with out price. He stopped at eaeh bouse. Color and previous condition of servitude mudo no illfferenco though these things count In Mnryland. Gradually the wall of prejudice was broken down, until tho periodical coming of tho book wagon was hailed at a red-letter event. It was found at tho start that one mis take had been made, as was plainly seen, when a farmer's wife threw up her bands and exclaimed: "Oo on, go on! Wo don't need no dead wagon here." Other people making remnrks of a similar nature, the sombre black which had been used to give the wagon dignity was relieved by painting the wheels bright red. Thus the wagon continued Its excur s.ons into dlstnnt corners of the county, cuxxliu; 1U Wttlcama fx a U hi, of, Uctton, Goods Section an evenly woven fabric, very suitable for dresses and separate colorings in stripes and checks, Priced at 25 cents per yard history, philosophy and agricultural treatises until one day last summer, when It was lifted on the cowcatcher of a locomotive and distributed along the track. Then It activities ended, for a time But Instead of grieving. Miss Tit comb sat down and planned an nutnmo bile library, which Is now in operation, serving the farmers even better than the library wagon. Many are the Interesting experiences which romo to the librarian's ears. She tells of an eager lad who Inquired if Jhero was anything of Shakspeare's on the shelves. "I read one of his books, once," said the boy, "and I think he is a real good writer." Poetry is always In demand and books about the war aro of unfailing Interest. There nro other ways in which Miss Titcomb strives to reach tho farmers and their families with good reading. Small collections of books aro .sent to the coun try schools and along with them go mounted pictures. Tho way In which tlm Interest grows Is remarkable. Tako one school for an example. Ten books were sent the llrst term and read 2G times. The next term they wcro read 5? times, and when the fourth term closed, they had been read 171 times. Miss Titcomb has been engaged In this sort of work during most of her active life. First she was librarian nt Rutland, Vt., where tho library was started by women and has been managed by women ever since. When she left Rutland, It was to becomo the llrst secretary ot tho Vermont library commission, nnd to spend much time in organizing new II braiie.s throughout the State. Then she went to Maryland and began the unique work which has attracted attention nil over the United States. Much has been accomplished, but much more Is being planned. If Miss Titcomb has her way, the farmers ot Washington county will be the well-read farmers of the nation. She wants regular branchos in the larger towns, weekly story periods In all the country schools nnd still more books to give out, "For," she says, "given a rural population Inoculated with tho rending habit, all tho other things which make for mral uplift will bo added unto Lb am."
