Who Struck Mr..
Patterson?

John Phillip Sousa's reference TO
the Did mystery Of Who struck Billy
Patterson recalls the only explanation
I ever heard OF the cause for that
much repeated query.
In June OF 1894. while camping IN
the Yosemite valley with Herbert
Hoover and other college associates.
got up a great campfire gathering
to which were summoned only the col
lege folk then among thu hvndreas of
campers IN that woiisafful valley.
Our campfire was in n natural amphi-
theater under the Royal Arches, up
nea Mirror Lake and close beside the
Icy Mercer river. The registry that
night showed men and women present
from 81 different colleges Of America
and Europe.
James Brett Stokes. Princeton 81. a
giant who played guard at Princeton.
related the story responsible for the
question 'who struck Billy Patter.

In years gone by there was an an.

Billy. bound hand and foot, was

his Eyes. The command was given.
The blow fell upon Bily's powerful

r AVERAGE CITIZEN AND THE TARIFF

Women since the days of Abigail
Adams have demanded education
and advantages for all people. No
one can yer know what the early
mothers sacrificed in order that
their children might have educat-
ional privileges. What is true OF
the early mothers is true today Of
the women OF America They want
all the young men and women to
have the advantages OF education
II h wages are 70 low that a
father cannot support his sons and
daughters, while they are being
educated. the children must enter
tho ranks Of the bread winner,
handicapped by lack OF training
and stunted in all future develop
men-.
In deciding for or against the
tarin on goods imported into this
country women have but to make
q simple choice Of two things. 1t
Is whether they are willing to pay
a little more for some articles or
whether they would prefer that
less wages be paid TO the workers
OF this country. II Europe can
make and sell at q proht a lamp
chimney for four cents and bur
lamp chimney manufacturer pays
n man four and one-half cents
Just for blowing. II is perfectly
apparent that either the blower
must get less or a tariff must be
placed on lamp chimneys OF such
an amount that the working man
can have four and one-half cents
and the manufacturer can also be
paid for his outlay.

they stepped up and took their grog

1t took some time to serve out grog
to a large ships company. but It was
done as quickly as possible. the grog
tub returned to the spirit room. the
keys returned to the orderly and the
officers of the deck informed and the
fact entered IN the log that gros IL
served to the crew.
While the new order of things was
very unpopular 1t was accepted with
better grace than might have been ex-
pected under the circumstances.
It should be remarked that the so
called spirit room on a man OF war
was not a room in the generally I'M
derstood sense but was the after hold
below the orlop deck. the space be-
tween It and h berth deck above be-

a room for the captains clerk and one
on the opposite side for the purser's
clerk and some storerooms for cloth.
