The table presented to Admiral Dewey by
the Maritime exchange of New York, ac-
cempanying the scrapbook history of the
war, is noticeable specimen of woodcarv-
ing art. The four legs are carved eagles,
two feet eight inches high. On each end
is carved, in bold relief, the prov Of the
Olympia. The whole table is finished in a
warm, rich brown tone of oak, which con-
trasts pleasantly with the seal binding Of
the book it supports. The top, which is
30x3S inches, is in three pieces and manip-
ulated by clever ratchet device, which
raises each side toward the center to prop
erly support the massive covers of the book
when open, thus avoiding the danger of the
great weight of the cover breaking the
binding-which is made Of the skin Of the
largest seal ever brought into the United
States and Is heavily mounted In silver

Miss Flora Uri San Francisco woman,

ceived a handsome testimonial from the
Iowa volunteers the day before their de-
parture for home as a token of their ap-
probation of the care and attention she be-
slowed on the sick and wounded members
OF the regiment. Miss Uri not only at
tended to the men herself, but in number
of instances paid their way in the infrm-
aries Of San Francisco. and 1t was for this
reason that Adjutant General Byers pre-
sented her on behalf of the soldiers with a
handsome pair OF Satsuma ware vases which
the regiment had bought by subscription
while quartered in Manila.
This is not the first testimonial that the
young womans work has evoked, for the
regiment had previously presented her with

quet prior to his departure for the Asiatic

discounted the purists who made him say
Wen laud the duty done" by defantly re-

verse:
And when he takes the homeward tack
Beneath an admrals flaG.
Well hail the day that brings him back
And have another jag.
Hopkins new poem written for the oc-
casion was in part as follows:
We drank to him no empty toast.
Nor was our boastlng vain
For on the far Philippine coast
He "singed the beard of SPAIN"
And up from all our hills and wales.
From city, town, and shore,
A mighty shout the wclkin halls
We'll done, brave commodore
Now let your admiral's pennant fly
You've won IL like a man.
Where heroes love to do or die,
Right In the battles van.
And on our history's matchless scroll,
Writ large along its lines,
With those who've played in deathless role
The name of Dewey shines.
Fill all your glasses fun again.
We filed them once before.
And drained them to the bottom, when
We pledged the commodore
An epoch struck on Times great clock
The day he won the fight;
Henceforth our Anglo-Saxou stock
Keep step for law and right.
Henceforth with kin beyond the. sea
We bid oppression die.
And pledge the better days to be
Where'er our standards fly.
Then fill your glasses to the brim.
Let no one fall or lag.
We're in good trim, and promised him
We'd have another jag.
And now to make our toast complete,
1t leaps to all our lips,
Here's to the captains of the fleet.
The men who fought the ships.
And fill us up one bumper more.
Till every glass o'erruns;
Drink, If you never drank before!
The men behind the Guns!
