From the 1923 Lucky Bag:
Warsaw, Indiana
"Bull" "Torro" "Knight"
EITHER an inherent desire for water which can't be used for bathing purposes, or a local pogrom in "Moscow", caused this noble youth to migrate from the old homestead and affiliate himself with the disciples of J. P. Jones. At any rate, here he is; much and many, as was admitted by his omnipotent contemporaries, who sacrificed many brooms and much energy to impress him with their doctrine of R. H. I. P.
This gentle treatment led our "Torro" to believe that, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," had no bearing on the existence of "Plebes". Result—he and the Executive Department tangled, and the latter, being victorious, shanghaied him for three months of sea duty on the good ship Reina.
Women, especially the peroxide type, prove fatal to our hero. He is powerless to resist them, even to the extent of swimming the Severn in mid-winter.
But, despite the knocks, "Torro's" career has been an enviable success and the best wishes of his friends, a multitude of them, will always go with him.
