Yankee Goodness.

Is it possible to conceive q cooler bit Of
unexpectedness than that intensely striking
intermssion that Admiral Dewey ordered
during the great fight at Manilas
Let's ali stop fighting and 80 get some
thing to eat" think of it 1t was something
on the order Of making two bites Of a cherry;
1t was such a good thing and so easy-so
sure that 1t was pity to spoil it by need
lessly shortening the entertainment. '1rll
keep; let's 60 take something" While war
! s a serious thug. it has it's funny sides and
we have an idea that it will be quite while
until another happening arrives that will be
funny ms this. 1t wasn't intended to DC
funny; the breakfast hour had passed and
the men were surely w RI and hungry, but
if the battle had been even up to that time,
or going against us, there would have ntcn
no ten O'Clock bite taken at that particular
jun2turc.
