A little boy 'way back In tho last
row raises his hand to ask why tho
companies wear tho colors they do.
Perhaps some of tho little girls who
nro wearing a collection of badges
would also like to know.
Very well. If you will close your
books and stop padding your time
cards and keep perfectly quiet, I will
toll you something about them.
Company A's colors aro pink and
light blue. A company must hove
some colors, and why not pink and
blue? Tho Phi Beta Kappa colors are
the same, but there can bo no connec
tion between tho two.
Company B wears a strip of blue
with a pleco of yellow at one end, and
the reason is this:
Many years ago there was a com
mandant of cadets named Lieutenant
Pershing. Ho was a cavalry officer,
and wore light blue trousers with yel
low stripes.
By and by he went away, but before
ho left a committee from B company
waited upon him and asked him for
the trousers.
"Why, gentlemen," ho said, "those
trousers cost seventeen dollars."
"That's all right," said the chair
man of the committee, "wo will think
just as much of them as though they
cost thirty-five."
"Yes," chimed in another, "tho boys
will cherish them because of their
associations rather than their money
value."
So they cut up the trousers with part
of the yellow stripe on each piece.
Company B men have been wearing
them ever since.
"We have always heard that Lieu
tenant Pershing was a great man, but
,vye aro nevertheless astonished by ,the
manner in which the trousers are last
ing. Ho wasn't such a tall man elthur.
Company C wears brown in honor
of Captain Orlo Brown.
The badge of company D is more
complicated, and a longer tail is at
tached thereto. The regulation badge
consists of a piece of white duck, upon

which are arranged a red spot and
the letters "D" and "p. d. q.," and tho
figures "120" all In red.
Tho reason for this peculiar device
is somewhat as follows:
When Julius Sedgwick was captain of
tho company In '96 it won tho cup
because It marched with tho regulation
cadence of 120 steps to the minute,
which any one will admit is p. d. q.
In the evening the company gave the
town Its regular annual coat of paint.
In tho excitement a bucket of paint
was spilled, and In a spirit of econo
my the boys wiped It up with their be
loved captain, who happened to be
wearing white ducks.
Tho trousers were ruined. To the
victors belong the spoils.
The boys divided them as mementies
of their victory.

It is up to me to say something nice
about tho Delta Gamma convention
and the delegates. But there are so
many nice things which might be said
or which go without saying that there
is no need of my attempting to do the
subject justice.
The poet (?) who, for obvious rea
sons, does not wish to havo his name
to be known, has paid the business of
fice double local advertising to have
the following printed In this depart
ment. Whatever may be said of the senti
ment expressed, the style of tho writ
er savors too much of tho lato James
W. Chattorn to be truly pleasing. It
is called
