Irish Melodies But indeed there are some
who could not be pleased, these gentlemen
of the st. Paul press for instance, in
communicating it. They forcibly reminded
the spectator Of the Scotch m-major
who was whipping a man with
the cat o. nine tails. No matter where he
hit, the culprit moaned. ''Dom ye, mon,'
said the drum major, 81 can no please ye, hit
where can, high or low just so with
these gentlemen spoken of, SO don't let us
try to please them.
