ELIAS DUDLEY'S FORTUNE.
he Ordered Vice President Hannlbal
Ha0lin Out Of His Stora.


One Of the largest estates in Pressure
Isle, Ainn.. belongs to the heirs OF
Elias Dudley. an old-time merchant Of
the town. whose prosperity was largely
due to the fact that he once ordered a
vice president OF the United States out
Of his sore. Dudley was an old school
Quaker who came here from Pennsyl-
vania years ago and carried on q small
trade in buying ftlrs from the French.
Canadian equatters. He sold o few
standard groceries and kept socks,
mittens. and cheap clothing. Though
he could have made himself rich IN 4
short time BY selling liquor and tobac-
co. his conscience would not allow him
to keep either. So irm was he in his
principles that he would allow no one
to use tobacco In his store. In the
summer Of 1864 Hannibal Hamlin OF
Bangor. who was then vice president
came up here TO enjoy . weeks fishing
In SQuaw Pan lake. and called at Dud-
ley's store to purchase the needful sup
plies for his outing. While waiting for
his goods to Be put up. Mr.. Hamlin
lighted cigar and walked up and
down the 6oor. Dudley. who was In
The hack store. detected the odor of
tobacco. and came out In . towering
rage. ''Nr. Hamlin," said he, get out
Of my store at once. Nobody n allow
ed to smoke here. II President Lin
coin or Queen Victoria should come
into my store smoking I'd drive them
out the same way I do you. Go now.
and never darken my doors again with
the smell Of tobacco about you" Mr..
Hamlin threw away his cigar and apol-
ogi1ed. Amer that he told the story
to his aequaintanees - . good joke on

Der single case Of sleep on guard Of

war. One night when We were camp

suit with Gen. Cox. found the sentinel
on duty in front OF the headquarteya
asleep. The guard, q grim-lookinR
German, was leaning against the fence
post on the top step of the stile or
crossing, and was fast asleep. The
Colonel, coming from the front, was
much provoked at this unsoldierly
conduct and proceeded to take the gun
from the sleeping man.
"As the gun was fairly In the Colo
nel's hands the sentinel awoke. rub
bing his eyes and looking at the Colo

TRADE of abuse and much frantic 4es-
ticulation. the sentinel. watching his
opportunity. snatched the gun from
the Colonel's hands. and. bringing II
to a full cock and to . charge bayonet
position, yelled. Sergeant nit the
guard!' He repeated this aeaia ana
again in tones that soon aroused
headquarters and brought the o@ce-
and sergeant Of the guard to the post.
As soon as the sergeant reported the
German proceeded to relate how the
man before him had ridden up on
horseback. refused to give the counter
sign. and tried to take his gun from
him.

The daring feat of Lieut.. Hobson has
recalled to the minds of Americans two
similar individual deeds Of desperate
bravery which occurred during our
war with Tripoli. ...-..-
1t 10 hardly creditable that this coun-
try once paid large sums to the pirat-
ical Barbary states for leave to navi-
gate the seas without assault. During
the administrations of Washington and
Adams the ships of our navy were sev-
eral times employed In carrying silver
coin by the barrel to the Dey OF Algiers
and the Bashaw Of Tripoli.
By command Of the dey the Ameri-
can flag was hauled down from the
mast Of the George Washington, and
his own flag hoisted In its place. ana
the country suffered. for . long time
without protest. similar indignities
from the bashaw. At last the insolence
could be tolerated no longer, and war
was declared.
The next year the frigate Philadel-
phia struck rock in the harbor Of
Tripoli. and was seized by the enemy.
the officers were thrown into prison
and the crew OF three hundred men re-
duced to slavery. The Turks raised
the vessel. and began to rent her for
use.
Lieut.. Decatur. in a little vessel
named the Intrepid. with a half-dozen
daring young fellows crept into the
harbor at nightfall and made fast to
the Philadelphia under pretense OF
wanting anchorage. As they grappled
the huge ship the Turks leaped to their
arms. but the Americans were already
on board. They drove the crew over
the side. heaped combustibles In the
hold. set fire to them, and escaped in
their little boat to the war frigate
waiting for them while the Philadel-
phia burned to the waters edge.
Six months later the harbor Of Trip
oil was bl0ckaded by Commodore
Preble. Lieut.. Richard Somers and
eleven men VOLUNTEERED to 1T up the
Intrepid as a fire-ship. to take her in
to the harbor and explode her in the
midst Of the Turkish fleet to de-
stroy It.
Twenty thousand pounds Of powder
and two hundred shells were packed
in her hold. and a slow fuse attached.
On dark night Lieut.. Somers sailed
with her towards the Turkish squad
roe: but she was seen, struck by
bomb. and set on fire. She exploded
and sank, doing no damage to the en-
emy. Richard Somers and all Of his
crew were lost.
But when We talk of the brave deeds
of today which are successful. let US
not forget these American boys who
long ago gave their lives for their
vain.
