Captain William Fowler (he has
thirteen letters in his name) was the
rea! founder of the Thirteen cluo.
The Knickel'oockcr cottage was the
scene of it's inception. Captain Fow-
ler had invited group of friends to
dinner there. The guests, seated
and enjoying a good time, suddenly
discovered there were thirteen at the
table, that it was the thirteenth o.
the month and that the clock regis
tered just 11:13 p. m.
They were having a great time.
Captain Fowler's brain conceived the
idea of perpetuating the laugh at the
empty superstition. Result, the clu5

"Morituri te salutamus'-translat-
ed literally reading, eve are abcut

the unique organization. It's init;a-

thirteen cents-S1.6 .69-and it was
voted to have thirteen officers. The
annual dues come to thirteen cents a

Among its honorary members have
been such great men as the late Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Grover Cleveland.

room lighted only by candles fastened
in small replicas of hu,.lan skulls, set

the honor overly much.
It was in the New HebriQes Island
where he had been shirwrecked that
he became king. TAe 4.Iikans are the

winning the day. For this he WIS

Upon the death of the king, he was
