Young Dewey remained at school. he

it was found impossible to carry out
the order, for the men were dangerous.
Dewey was notified OF the situation. He
was writing q letter in his room at the
time.
"He went to the place where these
giants were, and he told them to come
out and submit to the irons. They did
not stir. Then Dewey said quietly to
an orderly, Bring me my revolyers,
anil when he had his pistols he again
O.. lied upon the iueu to come out, and
t,hey did not move Then he said: 1

that place alive
"He counted one, them he cooked the
~reyolvers, and he connted two. We all
expected to hear che report, for we
knew that Dewey meant what he said.
The men knew it too. They stepped out

lone of them said afterward that
when he saw Dewey's eyes he knew
that he would either be a dead Jacky IN
a moment or he would have to yield,
and when the irons were put upon him
he was as sober as he ever was IN ms
life. Dewey went back to his room and
finished the letter he wa writing"
Early in the fifties, when Dewey was
a hoy, Major q. K. P,ngborn, now a
resident of New Jerseys nd for 80 years
the editor Of The EveIting Journal OF
Jersey City, being then fresh from col
leRe, undertook the management OF a
district school at Montpelier, Vt. The
school had been in rebellion for a long
time, and the boy Dewey was the lead
er of the a%ntiteaoher brigade, says the
New York Sun. Several previous teach
ers had been removed, " n had o
stood upon his head in a-snow bank, and
it was generally said at Montpelier that
nobody could govern that school.
When Mr.. Pangborn appeared at
school, the first day Of the session he
noticed Dewey throwing stones at small
bows. He told him quietly that he must
stop that. The reply was that the teach

GENTLE DIR. GATLING.
MILD OLD GENTLEMAN WHO MAKES
MURDERCUS MACHINES.

At Eighty the Inventor Perfects a Now
Terrible-The First Calling Gun and Its
History.
DR.. Calling, whose very name has a
warlike sound, Is at work on a new
gun. It will be big and terrible and
quite deadly at long distances as we'll as
short. Having about reached the limit
In the matter of speed, his new gun
will show that death in large doses can
be dealt out almost as rapidly as IN
small ones
DR.. Richard Jordan Calling now lives
and works in Cleveland. Although be
has reached 80, he is still industriously
turning out the murderous machines
which have made his name famous In
all parts of the world. Yet he is neither
q fire eater nor a man hater. On the
contrary he is a mild hammered, soft
spoken old gentleman whose kind dis
position shows clearly in his bright blue
eyes. He actually claims that his death
dealing machine gun Is a humanitarian
instrument and often compels peace
where in its absence there would be o
bloody contest.
DR.. Calling was born in North Caro-.
lima. He showed mechanical genius as
q boy, but at first he studied medicine;
hence bis title. Then be dropped physic
and developed his talent. His first effort
of Importance was to make a screw to
propel water craft. When he applied for
q patent, he found that John Ericsson
had beSn before him. He then invented a
rice planter, which was something OF a
succes1. In 1914 he got a patent for a
mobilization of his rice planter designed
for drilling in wheat. This was the first
wheatIdrill, and for many years there
after br. Calling was principally occu-
pied il making these drills and selling
them TO farmers. He was successful and
made money.
He Twas moved to experiment on a ma.
chine gun by the pathetic scenes OF war
timesl He saw many men leave for the
front and many come back in boxes. He
decided that there was a great waste OF
life in the game of war as then played

The POindexter Case.

Mr.. Dubois:
Dear Sir:-In your last issue Of the
FIVE MILE BEACH JOURNAL you ac-
cuse me of prosecuting a defenceless
man and think my conscience should
trouble me. You also quote from
another paper an article that appears
to be O reprimand from the Grand Jury
and say it refers to this case. | felt
that the evidence was strong against
James Robert Poindexter and that |
was justified in issuing the warrant.
The borough tool house was broken
open, the tool chest also and two new
shovels and several other tools taken.
One of these shovels was found in the
possession of J. II. Poindexter. The
Road Supervisor asked him where he
got the shovel. He replied from Mr..
Hilton. MI. Hilton stated that Poin-
dexter brought the shovel when he
came to work for him. The Supervisor
wanted me to issue a warrant imme-
diately for Poindexter's arrest. l de-
ferred the matter to give POindexter q
chance to establish his innocence. /
got the shovel; he replied from Kay
Conley. Kay Conley stated that Poin-
dexter told him that he got 1T from
Moses Banks. As the warrant up to
this time had not been issued and Pom
dexter knew nothing of the intention
to issue one. He was certainly unbi-
ased in his statements. To the Court
he claimed that he got the shovel out
OF Nj. Newconb's barn. Mr.. New
comb proved to the Court that he did
not have such a shovel in the barn.
On the advice Of a lawyer l issued the
warrant.
The Judges charge to the jury should
be sufficient evidence that | had no
intention of prosecuting this man. The
Judges charge was "Gentlemen of the
jury, in this case of the Borough of
Wildwood against James Robert Poin-
dexter for the larceny of a shovel the
facts given by five witnesses to prove
the case has been cOntradicted by the
defendant, James II. Poindexter, alone.
Now it is for the jury to say whether
these five men are liars, as the defen-
dant states or not. The fact that the
property was found in the possession of
Poindexter makes it evident that he
committed the larceny and it is for you
gentlemen of the jury to say whether
he is guilty or not"
He was found guilty and given thir-
ty days and costs. | was required, to
the neglect of my business, to spend
four days at Cape May Court House to
give evidence in this case. 1t seems
very strange that /, who have always
been very cautious in issuing warrants,
should be accused of Indignantly fol-
lowing THIS man up.
- Yours respectfully,

ABOUT W
Anecdotes That Throw Light
Upon a Hero's Character.
CANNON BALL AND O0ATTAILS.

Dewey Didn't Mine h Shot, but Kicked
Because His Coat Was Ruined-Three
Mutinoers Cowed A Battle With =
schooitescher That Dewey Didn't Win.
Commodore George Dewey, whose
name, for his great naval victory in
Manila bay, rings today throughout
the civilized world, is q Vermonter, a
taciturn man on board ship, square
shouldered, and with big forehead
and eyes that look straight ahead.
In the navy department he has been
looked upon as a long headed thinker.
Old naval officers knew that Dewey
would fight, and they laughed at the
naval strategy board when it gave
out that alarm was felt for his safety in
Asiatio waters. They remembered that
this Commodore Dewey was the man at
Port Hudson whose eoattails were shot
away by o cannon ball, and who, on
learning this, said:
On it. I don't mind the shot, but
they've ruined the coat"
Il was safe to believe that a man Of
that cool intrepidity would fight his
squadron for all 1t was worth.
An instance Of Commodore Dewey's
cool forethought was displayed at the
naval fight before Port Hudson in the
civil war, when he was q lieutenant on
the war steamer Mississippi. Before 60
ing into action he gave orders that the
vessels decks should be ~whitewashed,
which enabled tho guns crews to see
the running gear Of the guns, for nc
lights were allowed on board the vessel
that night.
Commodore Dewey had many friends
in this city, and it Is for that reason
that 80 many persons know of him as q
mar Of singuhrly gentle disposition,
modest manner, unassuming, undemon.

Thought Of many who have me- Com
