DEWEY IN FULL DRESS.

There are many anecdotes told Of
George Dewey in t.iose far-off days in

Pie aad a temper that had habit of as
setting itself and that caused good DIR.
Dewey considerable worry. He was a
leader among his companions in all kinds
Of childish pranks and was fighter. In
fact his combativeness was always pro-
nounced.
Once In his fathers buggy he set out
with Il companion to bring home the
cows. They foand the ford over the Dog
river, which enters the Winooski near
Montpelier, impossible. Against the adj
vice of his companion. George drove into
the rushing stream. The top of the buggy
was carried away and the lads only saved
themselves hy getting on the horses back.
When George returned home his father
was away and the youngsters innate
sense Of ta.ties prompted him to go 70
bed. The father soon afterward made
his appearance in Georges chamber and
began cniding him for his rashness. From
the depths of the bedclothes came this
childish appeal: You ought to be thank
ful that MY life was spared" The good
doctor turned away without another
word.

George Dewey was sent first, when a

GT HE demonstration accorded Ad-
IL miral George Dewey in New York
was one of the grandest, most gole
geous and spontaneously enthusiastic in
the whole History OF human pageantry.
1t was an outpouring of the popular heart
and affection for the nations hero and
the worlds greatest naval captain, and
throughout the broad domain Of the Unit
ed States, from his own native rock-rib-
bed New England to the sands Of the
Golden Gate. from semi-tropical Gulf to
almost arctic SHOWS, the people Of every
creed and color joined IN the spirit Of
New York's reception to the victor Of
Manila bay.
Admiral George Dewey is worthy Of
that reception. He proved himself a
fighter when fighting was to be done
and carved his name by the side of Far
ragut, Barry and Jones in fame's eter-
nal temple. He proved himself a states
man, discreet, diplomatic, dignihed, DUR
ing the crucial days following the battle
of Cavite. when indiscretion night jeop-
ardize what had been won and lead to
unknown dangers. And at all times and
under all circumstances he has proved
himself an American gentleman.
From that May day, in 1898, when the
news of his snperb victory over the Span-
ish feet in Manila harbor electrified the
nation, causing many people at first to
question its accuracy SO astonishingly
complete was it, Dewey's name has been
oftenest on American lips and his fame
has been enshrined in the national heart.
He became the hero, the idol Of more
than 7o,000,000 people, and from that
moment to the present he has not omitted
or committed one act, the omission or
commission of which dimmed one ray of

In answer, George stripped off his coat

that George was still rebellious, asserted
that he would add to the punishment if
Mr.. Pangborn had not given enough. The

dutiful.

A Fighter at Annapolis.
At Is young Dewey went to the Nor

there he conceived taste for military
life aud expressed a desire to go to AM
napols. At the age of IL he entered
that Institution in the class of 81.
At that time Dewey was strong,
active boy OF medium height, with fash
ing black eyes and shoulders beginning 1
broaden. He could swim as one born to
the water and exceled in all outdoor ex-
ercises. At Annapolis he found the line
sharply drawn between the Northern and
Southern boys and he proceeded prompt
" to get into trouble. He had spirit
that would bear no insult and he was
singled out by the leader Of the South
era lads as the most promising of the
Serthern faction for a little excitement.
The Southerner was not disappointed.
George was far from reseuting the term
Yankee; he thought tlstsof dough

So one day coming out of the mess hall
George waited for him and calmly knock

mix-np that followed. Some time after

head in the reading room which re suited

In the war with Spain one of the ad-
miral's brothers sent his two sons to the
front and the son of the other volunteer

Ncrmont's quota was already filed. And
the Vermont regiment, by the way, was

Dewey's Father.
Admire, Dewey is in the ninth genera.
ton from that Thomas Dewey who car
ried his household goods to Dorchester
in 1888. the admiral grandfather,
Simeon Dewey, was born in Hanover, n
H., considerably over century ago and
bought farm near Berlin, four miles
from Harover. Here, in 1901, the adj
miral's faeher Dr. Julius Yemans Dewey.
was borG. In 1922 Dir. Dewey settled in
Montpelier, marrying, in 1925, Miss Mary
Perrin -Four children were the result
of this union, Charles, Edward, George
and Mary, allo whom are living.
DR.. Dewey, father of the admiral, was
a deeply religious man. He was a man
of culture aud Of force of character, yet
he had a heart that was full of the milk
of human kindness. He was poor lad
when he struck out into the world for
himself. BY teaching school in Montpe-
lier be earned enough money 10 enable
him to study medicine and take out his
degree. In Montpelier and the surround
ing region DR.. Dewey was greatly below
ed He was pioneer in hfe insurance
and founded company of which his son,
Charles, is president, and another son,
Edward, director. He founded Christ
Episcopal Church, Montpelier, and here it
was that the future admiral was bap-
tized, attended the Sunday school and
was confirmed. Here, too, when the flu
ture admiral was years old took place
the first funeral from the church, that of
his mother, Mary Perrin. Many years
afterward DIR. Dewey was carried from
the same church to Green Mount Gene

He was warrior, diplomat, interpreter of
international law all in one. And for
thirteen months he kept his vigil in Ma
Mia harbrr, ready for any emergency
that might come.
Once, after the battle of Manila, when
Spain was about dispatching a squadron
under Camara to the Philippines, Dewey
sent cabIegram to the naval department
suggesting that Camara would turn back
il the United States were TO make DEM
onstration on the coast of Spain. There
upon il was announced that Commodore
Watson would be sent across the Allan
tic. The hint was sufficient and Camara
turned back to Spain from the Sucz
canal.
The strain of these eyentful months
in the tropics bore heavily on the admiral,
and when he set out on his triumphal
voyage home he was q sick man. Foru-
nately his health is restored and he is
able TO enjoy the demonstrations that ev.
erywhere await him in the land that he
has SO signally served.
