Out' of the oldest and host known
unanswered conundrums in America
is. "Who Struck Hilly l'at terson V
The recent death of Charles Jerome
Honapartc, of Haltlmorc, Mdv and
who was Atlonnw < Jeueral under 1'ivs
ideut Hoosevplt has brought to my
memory a fuel that Is not generally
known. Hilly l'atterson, tin* man who
gave this inquiry to the world, was
grandfather or greatgrandfather of
this Name Honaparte, and his will con*

historic old town of Oarnesvllle, Frank

Hilly Patterson was the father of
the heairt 11*111 Hetty Patterson, the
wealthy daughter of .a lMilladeli>4>la
capitalist! who married Jerome Hima
parte, a brother of Napoleon, and who
/at the time was sojourning in th?
I'nlted States and leading an idle and
vagrant life. vVt the time of his mur
riage to the American girl his brother
while exercising groat power in France

and winning victories under the. Direct
orate, had not achieved the .-.eminence
and fame lie afterwards won. I
! Hilly Patterson, father of Mrs. J ??

wealthy man for those times, lj?ut he

and which ended, as such ? n rouftft If

irouhle started, hut Hilly Patterson
got mixed up in tin* melee and some
unknown belllgorhnt hit Itim a blow
behind the burr of the car and sent
Hie visitor stem winding. I tut Hilly
was game,, and on gaining Ills feet
began a sett roll for the pugilist. Hut
no one could be v' found who would
confess that ho bail delivered tbe blow,
in spile of the fact that ltilly, the
assailed man, raying with indignation,
p traded Minong (he eKuwd^leiunndtng j
t.? <ome one to point out to him th?
fellow "Who s|rnek Hilly Patterson?
It Is said' that the longer > Hilly
thought over the blow the angrier ho
irrtt and that be prolonged Ills visit to
thai section to try and discover bis
assailant. Finally lie departed tin
satisfied, but with vengeance' in his
heart. Hefore his death he hud drawn
up a lust will a iid testament, bequeath
ing Ills property In (Jeorgla, which ae
I cording , to the law hud to placed on

It will be remembered that after
his elevation as Kmperor, Napoleon
sent for his brother Jerome and forced
him to divorce his Amcriean wife and
marry an 'European princess, after
wards elevating Jerome King of West
phalia ; itetty refused to accept the
divoreo, and Insisted on her olaims:
but Napoleon was then all ?poyverfnl
and she was never permitted to again
meet her huslmnd, Her children, by
Jerome Bonaparte, assumed the fath

Crude Oil from Many
Fields Helps to Make
"Standard" the Best Gasoline
PETROLEUM varies greatly according to its source.
Some crude oil is best for one purpose while other
grades arc superior for different products. In many
years of experimental work we have discovered that
our widely varying sources of supply ? covering almost
everv developed field ? are of great value in contribu
ting to the ideal balance in gasoline.
\ou cannot get out of the motor anvthing more than
you put into it ? via the earhiiretor. No amount of skill
in operation will make a one-sided gasoline act like a
balanced fuel.
A one-sided. <gasnlinc nuiv be <piiek-slarting, or be effi
cient in some oilier one respect, but it i> not capable
of delivering the all-round cllieiencv of a well-balanced
gasoline. A gasoline of proper balance can be defended
upon not onlv for quick-starting but for smooth-running,
maximum mileage, and a clean motor as well.
It is the easiest thing in the world to test this improved
gasoline yourself. W ait until vour tank is nearly empty
and then try out "STANDARD" MOTOR GASOLINE
on hills with which von are familiar.
You can buy it wherever \ on motor.
