men and women stroIling in Jefferson
fquare were startled by an unusual
sight A crowd of men were gathered
tight about a disturbed center. That
renter resolved itself into the figure of
two men. They We're in tense postures.
One Of them was a red faced young
man, Of big build, with dirty nailed
hands and untidy hair. The other was
an old man with bent shoulders The
old man held up a small American flag
and he was talking loudly As he
talked the young man spat at the flag.
Then the crowd suddenly began to
spread and there appeared in the hand
OF the old man a long barreIed, old
fashioned revolver. At the same mo-
ment the young man had fled. His
pursuer followed him for a block, then
policemen appeared.
That was Trogden breaking up an
anarchist meeting.
In San Francisco Trogden is known
as the man who put the anarchists on

first, when he began proceedings. easy

Trogden went to jail Then he ex-
plained-told just why he didn't like
canning the flag. And san Francisco
oheered him. During the interval of
reused patriotism-for with the coming
OF the warships people awoke TO the
touch OF q usually quiescent emotion
Trogden became a popular hero. Which
did not bother him, for he was busy
chasing half a dozen raucous voiced
enemies Of law and of their country's
flag from the city He did this, then
went home quietly and was forgotten.
And even in the days when he was do

were crowding hilltops and cheering

viewed him with a bit Of tolerance con-
cealed IN our approval.
A Man of Ideals
For in this day It is hard for most
OF US to understand ideals, and TO
have patience with their active ex-
preston. Therefore in this day it is
good sometimes to listen to stories
which bring ideals. The story of How
eli G. Trogden, American, is one 1t
is the story Of man who spent his
life fighting for his country's flag. It
ought to explain TO the dullest why
this man, spending his latter years
IN San Francisco. looks upon the flag
as sacred symbol. And it ought to
remind all Of US of things which we
.re prone to forget
Today Trogden is slightly bent man

And so Trogden gives a very poor story
of that day. 1t is about as brief as

last spring the pulses OF ordinary
men and women began to quicken
strangely to a vague feeling that they
could not trace. All they knew was
that the great fleet was coming. and
that with their natural excitement over
the approach of the pageant in San
Francisco bay was mixed a subtle ex-
citement they could not understand.
Those who cared to think about it re-
membered that it was the same thing
they had felt when the troops went
away and when the troops came back
from the Spanish war. And these knew.
of course. that 1t was patriotism But
1t didn't bother them badly, for they
were busy. The feeling came upon
Trogden. And it so happened that the
next day was Sunday and he was walk
ing in Jefferson square. A crowd was
gathered about a mana loud voiced
man, with a mop of disordered hair.
The man was talking about the feet.
He was talking with excitement, and
Trogden stopped to listen, for he had
an idea of what was up. and his blood
was hurrying through his veins. He
felt a little as he did the morning when
he clambered up the trenches at Vicks-
burg.
The fleet ought to be sunk" re-
marked the speaker
