It may be noted ' I that the late President Grant was so . . innocent of music that he only knew two tunes. One was "Yankee Doodle" and the other wasn't. The tune was known in New Eng land before the Revolution as "Nancy Fisher's Jig," and there were verses to It commencing: Lucky Locket lost her pocket Lydle Fisher found it, Not a bit of money In It, Only binding round It. The regulars in Boston in 1775-1776 are said to have sung verses to the same air: 1 Yankee Doodle came to town, For to buy a flreloek; We will tar and featwf him. And so we will John Hancock. The tune came to be adopted by Americans through a letter of the Rev. W. Gordon, who, In describing the bat tles of Lexington and Concord, wrote: "The brigade under Lord Percy march ed out of Boston playing by way of contempt "Yankee Doodle," and they were afterwards told that they had . been made to dance to it" " There Is another tory to the effect that the song was first sung by a com pany of Maryland Continentals, and that It was their rendering of it that ln- troduced it into popular use and favor, ' NORMA HOW MEN OEM ENT (irennshnm Crowed wit li Visitors AtrMjidinr Clowns: Exrciss.
