all things, like children. You don't
know how many letters / got from
them while was In Manila Bay"
His tirst unofficial caller in the
morning was boy In SAILORS uniform.
BIS mother, Mrs. Geo. R. Blodgett,
Of New York, brOught.him ont to the
flagship In launch at 10 O'Clock, an
hour before the time set for admitting
strangers on board. The launch wan
not allowed to stop at the gangway,
but Admiral Dewey, who was pacing
the starboard quarter deck, caught
sight OF the boy and shouted back to
the ofiicer Of the deck;
'sLet 'em come aboard" at the same
time beokoning to Mrs. Blodgett.
"WelI. what can I do for you, young
mani - he asked, whom the boy was
led up to him. ~ want to see Bob, p
said the lad. Bob is the Admiral's
pet dog.
"Bless your hoart, you can't see
Bob,n said the Admiral. "He's on
the sick list and has gone ashore to
see the doctor. But IN tell you what
III do; I'll let you see the pet Hon."
and the boy was satisfied.

Service Would Have Done"

New YORK, Sept. 29.--In response
to Mayor Van Wyck's welcoming ad-
dress to-day, in which the Mayor
said: 1.-THE greatest reception awaits
you that was ever rendered military
or civil hero. Such an outEouring es
the people was never dreamed of be-
fore. Never has the heart Of America
turned With such thorough accord,
and trusting care to one Of her sons
as It does to you. l place at your
disposal the freedom and unlimited
hospitality Of the city OF New York, .
the Admiral spoke as follows:
ssMr. Mayor and Gentlemen OF
course 1t would be needless for me to
attempt to make speech, but my
heart appreciates all that you have
said. How II ia that you have ever
rated my work so much | cannot
understand. 1t is beyond anything I
can conceive of why they should be
such an uprising Of the country. I
simply did what any naval captain In
the service would have done,
believe"
To this the Mayor responded;
"Admiral, no tongue can ever utter
or pen aver write an overestimate Of
what you did for your country. The
City Of New York has had made, to
commemorate this reception to you
the hero OF the Spanish American
War-a badge, which they desire I
shall present to you In commemora-

ing: "Dewey arrived at 8: 46 q. m

One Of the gentlemen said: "0ov-

''Never mind the salute," came the
prompt reply. The people we're anx-

the enthusiasm was waiting for the
expected moment, and 10 only rested
with the chief executive 10 say the
word, but he did not.
