'Tis high honor and most worthily
bestowed, and IL, we believe, the first OK
its kind ever given by the Battalion.
She Is worthy to whom 'tis given In
liherseIf for the rare genius with which
! she is gifted and as the child Of ono
who fell ia a cause ~ holy as any that
was ever lost or gained u cause sacred
tn all who wore the gray. 'Tis fitting

effect, their tails might be put up In
papers. The police may be the attrac-
ton. g1 Perhaps, the city fathers OF
| Louisville may want to know thing
or two of bunko. Here is a fine chance
| for Kellogg and the board. Or yet,
I maybe they have heard Of our Water
