"Who Struck Oily Pat.
terson?'' Question Answered

(From Chicago Record Heraid.)
''Who struck Billy Patterson" is a
question that has gone into history. It
is asked frequently Ivy persons who
have no idea who Billy Patterson was,
for It has become stock expression
signifying mystery.
But now comes T. M. Lake, formerly
Of Fauquler county, Va. and now a
retired merchant of Higginsville, NO.,
who says he knows all about the strik-
ing Of Patterson. Mr.. Lake was a
young friend Of the man who struck
the blow. Billy Patterson, according
to Mr.. Lake, was the bully Of Rich
mond Va, almost seventy-five years
ago. He was big man who loved
fighting almost as well as he loved
whiskey, and preferred the two to-
gether.
The day Patterson was struck the
blow which thrust his name into i'm
mortality he had obtained liquor, but
was finding it difficult to get fight.
He had taken up position in the cen
ter of a much-traveled sidewalk and
was making all passers take to the
street. He was particularly insulting
| to crowd Of medical students who
passed on their way to nearby stu
dents hotel.
Among these studente was Albin
Payne, a young man from Fauquier
county, q relative of Admiral Raphael
Semmes and man of fighting blood.
! When the group of students submitted
to the indignities offered by Patterson
his fighting blood was aroused.
"Let me at the bovine. he said, az
he walked up to Patterson. Perhaps
Patterson was too much surprised te
defend himself. for only one blow wa
struck and Billy Patterson went dowr
with a thud. It was believed at flrs'
that Patterson was killed, and the
students fed to their hotel, where
hasty conference was held and they
vowed not to tell who struck the blow
Hardly had Payne been taken out
side way to another students lodging
house when the police arrived, demand
ing the man "who struck Billy Patter
son., All the students were ques
4 toned. but each denied that he had
struck Patterson. Though 1t soon be

tdaneerously injured. the students KEEP
thar vow, Payne preferriug to avo'f
notoriety. Payne afterward became

An Easily Opened Gate.

choking or by strolling onto the rail-
road track and being hit by the cars.
Perhaps the whole herd breaks
through the neighbours fields and
destroys his crops. Such things are
mighty unpleasant and cause bad
feelings among the best Of neighbors.
Good fences and strong gates are
cheaper than good stock and dam
age suits. Good gates and fences add
to the permanent value Of the farm.
II . man has not sufficient pride In
his farm to keep up his fences and
gates the matter of economy should
compel him to give these matters
attention.
It IL poor economy to allow a pure
bred COW to break through 81 gate
and get with calf to some neighbor's
scrub bull. The poor gate is the
weakest link in the fence. There is
nothing that adds more to the gen.
eral appearance Of the farm than
good. strong fences. Such appearances
amount to hundreds of dollars If We
are selling our farms.
The gate shown in the illustration
will be found to be Of great con.
venience. A pin is set in the gate
post and a pole at least as long ~
the gate Is made to turn on It.
A box full Of stones heavy enough
to balance the gate is placed on one
end Of this pole. and to the other end
IL fastened . piece Of strap iron that
connects with the center of the gate.
The hinges on this gate are pieces OF
round iron 50 set that a ring on the
gate will slide up and down on them.
This allows the gate to be raised or
lowered.

REST FOR cow is ESSENTIAL


(By WALTER B. LEUTZ)
Too many farmers milk their c0ws
from "calf to calf" In some states
the law forbids the selling Of milk
Of COWS within two weeks Of calving
or i've days after. This rest is none
too long and In fact young hsifsTs
would do better II they were giveu .
longer rest before calving.
We once heard farmer at county
institute defend his practice Of milk
ing his COW up to the last moment ON
the ground that he worked every day
and wanted his cows to do the same.
A woman asked him II he did not
rest on Sundays and he rather shame
facedly replied that he worked every
day in the week. particularly during
the summer months. Not much use
arguing with q man like that, but ex-
perience shows that 1t is much better
for the health and usefulness Of the
COW, especially heifers, to give her
at least Z months rest during the
year.
A COW Is milk machine, It 10 true,
and We want to get all we can out
of her, but like machines made OF
steel and wood she must be given
time for repairs or she will wear out
all to quickly.

His Future Expenditures.

Among the most frequent requests
that go to the United States senate
are those asking some prominent
member to give money to charity or
CARNATIONS, hospitals and other phi
lanthropic undertakings. One day a
charity worker asked Senator Flint
of California. who is not wealthy
man, to give large sum Of money
for free ward in one Of the hos
pitfalls.
IT am sorry that cannot comply
with your request" said the senator
gravely; "but judging from the num-
Der of similar demands that have been
made upon me in the past. have de-
cided that l can promote a greater
charity. The vast amount of money
spent on hospitals in this town con-
vinces me that thousands Of people
are going to die and be buried with
out flowers. Hereafter, shall devote
my spare money exclusively to send
ing flowers to the dead."-The Sun
