The magnificent victory won by
Commodore Dewey over the Spanish
fleet at Manila will go down as one
OF the quickest and most daring
achievements in the naval history, not
only of the United States, but of the
entire world. That he dared navigate
the harbor In the dead of night, know
ing 1t was mined, SO as to be in
position as soon as day broke to at
tack the enemy, was an exhibition Of
pluck that has amazed the world. His
success in annihilating the Spanish
fleet has been recognized by the United
States government by resolution OF
congratulation, and he will also be
promoted to rear admiral. From navy
officers In all parts OF the world his
achievement has called forth words of
admiration. While much has already
been written about Commodore Dewey
We must not overlook the gallant COM
manders who SO nobly stood by their
ships in the battle of Manila, and upon
each of whom share of the honor
OF the great victory must be given.

aboard the old steam sloop Mississippi,
under Farragut, in the early days of
the civil war. Commodore Dewey is

drink changes the whole character Of
a man or woman. 1t causes a person

A Suggestion.

Is there any way by which drunk
ards can be prevented from being
served with liquor? We believe there
is one which is not only practicable but
easy. Someone has proposed that only
those who have a certificate of sobriety
shall be served. This we see many OBJ
jections to, and it would involve great
difficulties. Instead of that we suggest
that any drunkard who is brought I'M
der the operation of the law shall be
compelled to wear the blue ribbon in
the buttonhole of his coat or other
conspicuous places at all times as a
recognized sign of total abstinence.
Concealing the blue ribbon in order to
get drink should be treated as a con-
tempt of court, while giving, supply
ing. or selling liquor to anyone wear
ing the blue ribbon should render any
one so doing liable to a severe penalty.
There are thousands of total abstainers
who would gladly wear the blue ribbon
in order to help to save the drunk
ards thus. so that it might not be a
sign OF reproach or proof of drunken
habits, while effectually guarding the
drunkard from the drink.-Medical

Leaving All with Thee.

Lord, with Thee we leave each thing,
All our heavy weight of sorrow;
All our griefs to Thee we bring,
And the dread Of coming morrow.
All-believing,
Never grievng,
Them with Thee, dear Master, leaving
With a trust IN Thee complete,
Laying all at Thy dear feet.
Yea, 20 Thee we bring them all,
Life's sweet gifts of JOY and pleasure
Glow before Thee, Lord, we fail
Pouring out our hearts best trcasure)
To Thy keeping,
Not with weeping,
For Thy care doth know no sleeping,
All that we have deeply priced
With affection undisguised.
All Our heavy lead Of pain,
TO Thee, Master, are we bringing;
Toll that seemed but idle, vain,
Troubles, small and yet so singing,
Lonely, weary,
Sad and dreary,
Mourning over past days CHEEKY,
Mem'ries over which we wept,
Nothing now from Thee is kept.
oh, forgive US for the past!
All our folly all our SHINING;
In the years whose mem'ries last,
Help US make new beginning.
Though day waneth,
Still God reigneth
And thy mighty arm sustaineth,
Hopes and fears we leave for aye
With Thee, and for aid we pray.
oh, be patient! We are weak,
Human, foolish, oft mistaken:
To our hearts new courage speak,
In our souls new life awaken;
Thou, most Holy,
Kneel we loWly,
And we pray Thee, pardon wholly
We are listening for Thy voice..
May it make our hearts rejoice!
