Greatest of nations, chosen strength Of God,
Imperial servant Of divine commands;
Within the tranquil hollows of thy hands
RepCse the sphered seas the ch9ugeful lands
Are thine and tracts Of empire vet untr0d;
The sword is thine, its splendur flares abroad.
Thou, whom thy mighty warrior dead acclaim,
Wilt thou iutrust its unpolutcd fame
To smo0th-iacCd pirates whose Uusp0keu aim

Under the flag our fathers bore.

LITERARY NOTES.

It is said that a series of "reminiscences
by Mr.. Dunsterville, the original Nc
Turk" of "Stalky & Co, may appear in
this country. They were, it is said, offered
to the English press but Mr. Kfpling OBJ
jected This possibility suggests three
ideas-hrst that the publication of these
memoirs will not tend to make Mr. Kipling
like America any better; second, that this
may be the advance guard of great army
of "reminiscences by schoolmates and for
mer friends of the Anglo-Indian genius;
and third, that if Mr.. DunstervilIe really
wishes to secure for his autobiography a

should offer it to Mr.. Box for his series of

in the most cursory fashion. Some of the

is time that people realized the patent fact
that good drama and a fine novel are
two things, and that their good qualities
are so opposite and so hard to combine
that it is generally much easiEr to write a
great drama than to make one out OF a

sponsibility and to determine if the men
were naturalized or not and to request
that proper punishment be melted out.

Some worl, for this, strive for that, and

Some long for what they haven't got, and what

And some rush Tor the mountain peak to get the

Then crawl ilto some sunless hole and sleep 1t

Some find this earth first rate place to slave
and stint and
And life's chief pleasure to consist In being
glum and grave,
And others with twinkle In the hand and

Will stake their lives that they spend more

Some take a drink when they are dry and some
when they are wet;
Some drink for sweet remembrance sake, som,

And some there be, like you and me, free from

Who have laid down rule for ife-never to get

Some turn to this, some turn to that, for fortune

And some won't turn for anything and get there

Where rich and poor and great and small turn

THINK STORY A FAKE.
Officials Doubt That Dewey Talked
of War With Germany.
POWERS ASKED TO IGNORE IT
Warrington VIII Warn Representa-
tives of Other Countries Against
Placing OBEDIENCE In Alleged In
terviews With the Admiral.

Washington, July 31.-The alleged in
terview with Admiral Dewey, in which
the admiral is made to say that our next
war will be with Germany, while re-
.bpected as a reasonable prophecy, Is dis
credited at the navy department. Secre-
tary Long said emphatically that he did
not believe the admiral had said anything
Of the sort, and the secretary Of state put
as emphatic dsapproval on the report.
Both pointed to the unbroken record Of
Admiral Dewey for discreet utterances
and admirable diplomacy since he went
into Manila bay to destroy the Spanish
feet. Neither the state nor the navy de-
partment will pay any attention TO this or
similar reports Of interviews with Admit
raj Dewey. To do so would, it Is said,
make him the subject Of petty annoy
lnces and allow every fakir In Europe to
Throw doubt upon his reputation.
Think 1t Political Canard.
While Admiral Dewey was in Manila
and he or General Otis had control Of the
cable they were able to prevent sensa-
tionaism and Misrepresentation. Now
that he Is In Europe, where the manufac-
turers OF sensational news are plentiful,
It Is expected that many things will be
cabled to this country about Dewey
which are malicious in their misrepresen-
tation. The rivalrles of European poll
tics will suggest the use Of Dewey's
name to strike at other powers and II
possible involve the United States. The
state and navy departments will trust to
Admiral Dewey's sound judgment and
tact to carry him through the various re-
ceptions and their attendant rivalries In
Europe.
The representatives Of other govern.
ments will be asked to take the same po-
Bition and hold Admiral Dewey RESPONSE
bic only for his own acts and public ut
tarances anf not to address this govern
ment with inquiries as to the genuneness
Of his alleged interyiews.
