A drawing teacher il the upper re
pions of the borough of Manhattan tell
me of a curious instance CT what sh'
calls the crescent freshness of the metro

/ corrigible pupil in that particular room
! making the half hour spent there daily
enc of mingled doubt and anguish OF

and his hands were lowering over It,,

"'Tommy, said the drawing teacher
suddenly and sharply "what are you

"Nothin, was Tommy's instant re-
ply. Then he added, "Nothin but keep
in this ere dawg from Tunnin away.
"What dog?' quericd the drawing
teacher. II see no dog What 90 you
mean?"
"Course ye don't see no dawg," said
Tommy, ceasing his gymnastics under
her sharp glance and Strengthening

scholars were all attention by this time,

wanted, and he assumed q look of I'M

lie delighted a large audience in the

tinguished himself by unexpectedly
proving he was an orator OF rare
dramatic force. For more thah an
hour he held the audience speiipouhu,
while in the simplest of language and
with few gestures, but with wonder
ful force and pathos, he told the story
of his immortal exploit in the harbor
of Santiago de Cuba. Throughout
he made no reference to the part
borne by himself. almost the whole
! of his thrilling story being devoted
! TO eulogizing his gallant companions
| and of their mnnnificont bravery an1
| death, the noble American seamen
whom he affectionately referred to as
''jackies."
| The occasion of Lieutenant Hob
