Dewey Fighter, Even as a Boy.

Before entering Annapolis, Dewey went to the public school in the village, and also attended a military school at Norwich, where he formed determination to enter the navy. Dewey's father did not think much of sailors and told him so, but this made no diff ference to George. He kept at his father until he pro cured him his appointment to Annapolis. While a pupil in the district school at Montpelier young Dewey receiv- ed a severe thrashing, which he probably remembers to this day. The flogging was administered by Major Pangborn, the schoolmaster now editor of the Jersey City Journal. Prior to the coming of Major Pangborn as master of the school, the boys had whipped sev- eral masters. Soon after Pang- born had been installed it was de- cided that his mettle should be tried. George Dewey was selected by the other boys to make the test. Major Pangborn heard of the plot. Dewey was called from his seat in the midst of a session of the school. He refused to respond. The other boys chuckled. Master Pangborn walk ed down to where young Dewey was seated, and with the grasp of Hercules, took the lad by the collar and yanked him from his seat and walked him up to the masters desk. He was accused of the plot, but refus- ed to acknowledge it. When Mas ter Pangborn had finished with young Dewey he was escorted home, where he had to lie abed for several days as the result of his thrashing. Dewey was too big hearted to harbor up feeling a gainst the schoolmaster, and after wasd there grew up between pupil and pedagogue the most friendly feeling g.-From 1.-The Hero of

Lemo.s ill Hot Weather.

We know ln a dull sort of way that lemons are useful, and if we didn't, might easily find this out by looking over the papers, says the Louisville Courier-Journal. But just how valuable they are few of us realize. They are of great medicinal value, and are better than patent medicines and nostrums put up in bottles and baxes for the benefit CD of the human family.
 A teaspoonful of lemon juice in a small cup of black coffee will drive away an attack of bilious headache, but it is better 70 use them freely and so avoid the headache. A slice of lemon rub bed on the temples and back of the neck is also good for the head a.he. These facts help in beauti- flying one, for one can't be bsauti- ful and ailing at the same time. The days are past when the deli cate woman with "nerves" was the heroine of all the novels, and the "clinging vine" supposed to be admired by all men.
 Lemons taken externally, or rather used, will aid in beautify- ing any one. There's nothing more valuable for the toilet table than solution of lemon juice; a little rubbed on the hands, face and neck at night will not only whiten, but will soften the skin. A paste made of magnesia and lemon juice applied to the face and hands upon lying down for a fifteen minutes rest will bleach the skin beautifully.
 For discolored or stained fin- ger nails n teaspoonful of lemon juice in a cup of warm soft water is invaluable; this is one of the best manicure acids. It will loos- en the cuticle from the finger nails as we'll as remove discolora- tiors.
 Lemon juice in water is an ex- cellent wash. This is about the only thing that will remove tar tar. It will also sweeten the breath.

In reference to the army canteen system he says that he has always opposed it, and that ne only allowed it at his post when absolutely forced to do so. He maintains that it is de. moralizing to the men and that it seriously impairs their efficiency

MR. NEIL has estimated that
 the '9S cotton crop will be be.
 tween 10 and 12 million bales and
 that it may reach the latter fig
 ure. If this estimate should
 prove approximately correct, all
 hope for a fair price must be abandoned. This immense crop, together with a surplus carried over of q million and a half more bales, would, in all probability, bring the price of cotton down to prices. However, it is too early in the season yet to make positive declarations. It is quite possible that the conditions for the big yield may so change in the next 30 days as to reduce the estimated yield even to one- half. In that case, the price will
 likely advance with the season.

When the old props faint and fall us And the old hopes fade end flee. o Lord! most kind, most pitiful. Whom have we left but Thee! When youth and beauty in their prime Are withered at breath. When the very life of life is quencheo By the chill hand of Death. When the leafage we call happiness Is stripped off utterly, o Lord! the Lord who changest not, Whom may we trust save Thee? What can we do but tighten
 Our half-despairing hold Upon Thy sure and stesdfast word. Thy seamless garments fold? Anchor of drifting. struggling hearts. . Sore vexed by wind or sea. o Lord! the everlasting Lord,
 Our only hope Is Thee! Through blackest night, mid widest wave In heights and depths unknown. We stay us on that faithfulne1s Which never failed It's own. Beaten and blown, and buffeted. And long the way may be. But blessed the way, o pitying Lord! If but 1t ends in Thee.

VOTERS when you go to the polls next Monday you will be con fronted with the question of for license or against license. Now the saloon is either q friend or q foe to civilization. It either en- riches or it impoverishes. Does the saloon establish acadamies en- dow colleges, build churches and send out over the land its bencfic- iaries to exercise an elevating re- fning influence or does it not in- stead destroy the happiness of every home that comes under it's influence by making debauchees, criminals, desolate widows and helpless orphans where there was once sobriety happiness content ment and prosperity' Does not the saloon foster evil of every kind and increase the expense of the government by making crim- inals and filling the jails and pris- onsi
 The revenue from the saloon is far from sufficient to pay the cost of prosecution of the cases brought into court through it's influence. If yon do not believe this just make an investigation of the court records and you will then see for yourself. The honest laborer who has an appetite for drink will often go into the saloon and spend the money needed to buy food and clothes for his family and so would use it but for the enticing saloon.

A CONNECTICUT exchange

A CONNECTICUT exchange is re- sponsible for the resurrection of this old time chestnut and it's apt application to a modern event The response of the people of Porto Rico to General Miles in. vasion recalls the case of the sher. if who had been deputed to serve attachment proceedings on an aged maiden lady. The sheriff went to her house and said, "1 have an attachment for you" ," "Your attachment is reciprocated sir" was the coy response.
