Saturday when he was thus selected he did not'reaiizfc its solemn duties. *► There were no smiles Thursday when he faced anew *task —one weighing heavily on nis heart and on those of his comrades. In his new position he exercised leadership In laying to rest one of his,rank. Final honors wore paid to John H. Patterson, 2347 Division St., Thursday afternoon. He went to his grave recipient of all the solemn tribute his comrades could pay to a man whose duty was done well.

Playing hooky, he joined the army. He told of the narrow “squeak” when a bullet pureture/i his boot and felled the hor* 1 beneath him. He told of his second escap? when another shell ripped his Csat from his body with sufficient force to knock the wind from his lungs. All of this happened to a bo/ no; yet 20. As for his new position of commander, he just , couldn’t help getting It sometime. Twice before, he had been nominated and defeated by a narrow margin. But. he never has “politicked” for it, he says “I have no plans for my term of office.” he said. “I will do well to hold down the Job.” And If the “boys” can sit around their headquarters over the old engine house at 222 E.
