which it is impossible not to adver-
tise here if we're going to say any
thing about Mr.. Major at all.
"Oh, look who's here; hope he'll
stick, said Colonel Ida Craft, who
later said she Intended making no
joke.
Mr.. Major was a very potent factor
in the hike to Governor Suffers in
auguration at Albany He carried all
the baggage of the mixers and the
camp followers on the journey there.
Moreover he did it very cheerfully,
and he Just as cheerfully announced
that he is filling similar office for
the "On to Washington" army.
The volunteer baggage carriers
principal attribute seems to be his
kindness, which disappears rapidly,
however, whenever he comes into
contact with any user of intoxicating
liquor or tobacco. Outside of-but no
names are going to be newfoundland
body on the hike has any bad habits.
And, it just occurred to the Eve
ming Star correspondent, that he
owes somebody an apology. Ernest
A. Stevens, Phi. D., of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, is the man. And don't
forget the Phi. D. or any of the rest
for doctor doesn't one have to call
a man doctor" If he wears Phi, D.
after his name?) told the writer to be
sure that he didn't. Yesterday, with
several of the other sleuth hounds of
| the press. the Evening Star cores
pondent announced that Doctor, Mis-
| ter. or whatever it is, Stevens, had
| quit the army. He didn't. He just
] ah--sort of-ah--oYerslept himself,

| Stevens's English accent).

'Y'know the bally old army was
to start at IL O'Clock. dash 1t all, and
what did | do but oversight myself?'
| Stevens announced when he caught
up with the band-wagon in the aft
ernoon. Twas beastly annoying to
me, y'lnow. when | found out I'd let
you steal a march on me, but, by

"Hurrah" cheered those who saw.
And just to show that he was a
right sort of chap, y'knoW, even IL
he did have us going alAng a whole
halliday without him, why, Ernest a.
Stevens. Phi. D., of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, was just going to let
us have these few little lines that he
dashed off in bed, and, moreover, he
didn't mind If we told that he, Ernest
A. Stevens, PHI. D., of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, wrote thenl-not a DIT.
Stevens assured the army that his
verses are to be sung to the tune OF
Home, Sweet Home" To tell the
truth. Home, Sweet Home" or some
other far away place is. the first
thing that comes to ones mind When
one hears Stevens's ditty, which is
suffrage paean, but singing 1t to
"Home. Sweet Home" Nix. Twas
tried, and the person who tried 1t
was set upon by ferocious bulldog
and mangled almost beyond recos-
milton. Anyhow, here are the verses.
After reading them anyone will be-
lieve that Stevens is as good walker
as he says he is:
L
When the cause Is great and true;
There is no such fun as hiking
When the sky is bright and blue.
CHORUS.
Cause. cause. cause great cause
There's no play like fair play
And nothing else will do.
II.
It's walk from York" to Washington,
For cause that's right, we feel;
Through Jersey, Penn and Wilmington,
For your rights and a square deal.
Repeat chorus9
Well walk and talk through Maryland
And visit the Chesapeake shore;
Then later greet Columbias band
And enter the White House door.
(spring the chorus again.) =
".
It's for home this pilgrim warrior song
For land with suffrage square
! SO We'll walk and speak and march
Till the land is free aud fair.
Pretty, isn't it? Stevens insists it's
only a little trihe he dashed off in
an odd-a very odd-moment. and
, adds:
You mustn't expect too much of
one on hike"
But that isn't bringing the pilgrims
into Trenton They got there even
though they had to pass by Public
schools Nos. IS and 10, the latter also
known as Thomas jefferson School.
The pupils of these two institutions
emulated the Princeton, Rutgers and
Lawrenceville boys, only they hadn't
learned the restraint their elders pos
sessed.
Roundsman William Walters, of
the Trenton police department, how
ever. suddenly rolled into view, and
said: Trust me, ladies, and I'll pro-
tect you" and led the army triumph
antly into town.
And that about cleans up the days
I work, except. of course, for the din

the show at the Taylor Opera House
