AN ANECDOTE OF DEWEY.

One afternoon Mr.. Dewey came down
to my table on the gun-deck With an
easy air he sat down on a camp-stool,
and said, quietly,
$50 you are the ships writer"
Eyes, Mr.. Dewey"
"And these, presume, are the ships
books?"
yes, SIR"
This is your liberty-book Let me

grim smile
Mr.. Kimberly tells me that you are
a conscientious bookkeeper," he said.
after pause.
''The men think that I'm too much
so, sir"
Dewey regarded me with a searching
look.
Why, what do they say?" he asked.
Boylike, impetuously anxious to
learn what manner OF man 1 had to
deal with, I blurted out,
They say they want less book and
more executive officer"
Mr.. Dewey's face darkened, and his
square-set jaw closed hard.
''If they mean by that that they
expect me to sail ship on sweet words
ana fair promises in spite of past ex-
periences, they will be badly out of

the game, though once again in the
second half it looked as if Chicago
would score. From the 55 yard line
the ball was carried steadily down the
field, Chicago's heavy backs plunging
into Wisconsin's line for gain after
gain. Here occurred some of the most
spectacular playing of the game.
Struggling desperately for every inch,
the defense Wisconsin put up made it
necessary to twice measure the dis
lance to see whether the necessary five
yards had been made. At last the ball
was brought TO the two-yard line but
Chicago could get it no further and a
moment later O'Dea's foot sent the
plgskin far up the field. Notwithstand-
ing the closeness of the score, Chica-
COS goal was in real danger only twice.
A kick by HeTschberger which was
cleverly blocked by Cochems resulted
in the ball rebounding to Chicago's
1O-yard line but a Chicago man fell
on 1t. Again a moment Or two later
ODea tried field kick from the 30
yard line, but the kick, though
straight, was far too low, and went in
to Wisconsin's line. The game
abounded with kicking. Herschberger
clearly outpunted O'Dea in the first
half. In the second half, however,
O'Dea more than held his own in This
respect, but Herschberger's quick dodg-
ing runs on the return made up for
this. In the second half Wisconsin
