AND SUCH IS FAME.

All tnae q Email school Girl Knew OF
Dewey's Great Fight.
One OF the most popular of the young
professors In the male high school tells
an amusing little story on small, up
to-date school girl. She went to one of
these district schools over which a
cousin Of the professor presides. 1t is
usual to have visitors at the building
now and then, who ask the scholars
questions and see that everything is In
good shape. One day not SO long since
party Of callers came In and request
ed the pupils to write the answers to
several questions propounded them.
One Of these questions was: 'aTell what
you know about Admiral Dewey's
great fight"
The. children set to work figuring on
their answers, but the teacher noticed
one of the girls did not make a move
to do SO.
why don't you write your answer to
the question: she demanded Of the
idle pupil.
Tain't not use," was the slow re-
sponse. 81 don't know nothing about
it."
But" demonstrated the teacher,
you must try, anyhow; you must not
sit there idle while the others are do
ing the best they can. See If you can
not think of something, my DEAR"
mo use," protested the pupil "All
know Is that Dewey and Corbett
fought, and don't know which whip
ped, and don't care either"
Such is fame, and the bold sailor who
sunk Montojo's fleet must go promen-
aiding down the halls Of time with q

to exhaust diplomacy in dealing with
Spain before resorting to arms. He ex-
hausted diplomacy completely and then
prepared to fight. AS an organizer of
the natives he was wonder. Like
Bonaparte, he seemed to exert a
strange fascination upon his people.
wherever he went he was followed by
troops of admirers, and while other
generals suffered at times he and his
camp were always supplied with the
choicest supplies and comforts. Nor
was the feeling of more than admira-
ton confined to the Tagals, stolid Igor
rotes, and half-naked Negritos. Cum,
ming and skeptical half breeds, and
even Spaniards themselves, seemed to
share In this odd hero-worship.
