few of them will compar With the cele-
bration in which the hero of the Asiatic
fleet will participate. There will be W
days of it at least; three, if the guest can
be persuaded to receive so much atten-
ton. And during these days the people
will let their enthusiasm run wild. Here
tofore the Washington centennial has
held the palm for patriotic celebrations,
but the Washington centennial will not
be an instance to Dewey day. The actual
appropriation made by the city is, of
course, comparatively small, being only
$3.50, 900. but the decorators of buildings.
the flag and bunting manufacturers and
the dealers in fireworks have orders
enough ahead to assure them that the
total expenditure in honor of the home
coming of Dewey Will not be a penny
less than Sc, 900, 900.
From one end of the city to the other,
from the Battery to Harlem, New York
will be n mass of flags and bunting.
The biggest buildings on Broadway are
to be dressed in gala attire from roof to
basement, and the contracts that have al
ready been made for this will range from
SIC, 1000 down to a few hundred for the less
pretentious displays. Everyone, how
ever, has evidently determined to spend
every cent that he can possibly afford in
order that the great naval commander
may be properly received. and lmost
every bunting mill in the country, as well
as all the firms of photographers, are
; working overtime to turn out the orders
that have already been placed.
AS to fireworks, the assertion that there
| will be more than on the Fourth of July
does not begin to convey the extent of
the small boys part in the Dewey cele-
bration. He will make more noise than
he has ever made in his life and from
present indications he is to he ably assist
ed by his father and all his older reia-
tives. Never has there been such a rush
of orders for crackers and
everything else in the fireworks line and
the only ear of the dealers is that their
stock will be cleaned out before Dewey
day arrives.
In addition to all this there are to be
Dewey breakfasts and Dewey dinners and
the admiral will also be presented with
a gigantic loving cup to which the people
of the entire city have contributed III
silver ten cent pieces. Nj official cello
bration will consist of a shore and land
parade. one on the 29th. the other on the
10th. and these parades will give every

New Yorker a 3 we'll as the hundreds of
thousands Of excursionsists who will
visit the city an opportunity to see the
face of the man of whom so much has
been heard, the men who were with him
at Manila and the great warship from
which he directed his wonderful work
in the Philippines. While Dewey is nat
urally the great attraction the men who
obeyed his orders and the boa on which
he sailed will not lack attention.
To go into details of the New York
celebration is impossible but it is enough
to say that every feature, from the artis-
tic arch to the private celebrations. will
be carried out without regard to cost in
money or labor. The same assertion
will apply to the Washington reception.
There everything is to be done under the
| direction of the president himself, and
the plans have naturally been made on
a most extensive scale. There are to be
parades M there is nc reason to doubt
that the presidents suggestion that
there shall be plenty of red fire and fire.
! works will be enthusiastically complied
with.
Then there will be the reception at
the White House, which will be of the
most magniticent description. and moth
ing will be neglected to make the hero of
Manila bay feel that he is welcome and
! that his great achievement has been fully
appreciated. Old men in Washington
admit that they cannot remember an oc-
casion when the enthusiasm at the COM
ing of a government official. from the
president down, was so general and heart
felt as it is in regard to Dewey.
| There is no officer in the navy who is
more highly esteemed and respected by
I his men and the same sentiment extends
through the government apartments and
down to those who have met him socially
or in private life. In fact there is alb
solutely no one who is jealous of him and
it seems to be the general opinion that il
the object of all this good feeling could
realize how he was to be received he
would scarcely dare to come home. AS
it is, however, he is SO punctilicus in all
the Observations of life, as Well as appre-
ciative Of attentions paid him. that he
will be a gracious and grateful Lion. even
though he will make no more concessions
to the hero-worshipers than is absolutely
necessary. @
1t was Admiral DeWey's wish tina

be on hand to do him honor. The invi-
tations to the members of the legisla-
ture and to the companies of the state
militia have been sent out by Governor
Smith and the programme that has been
arranged calls for a celebration of three
days. After that is over, the wishes of
the admiral will be considered and he
will be permitted to find the rest and
quiet that he so much desires, for lone OF
mis- old friends would be so unkind as
to show him so many attentions that he
would regret having selected his old
home as the scene of his much needed
vacation.

1t is unfortunate that there is but one
Admiral Dewey to return to this country
on the 28th, for so many cities are clam
oring for the hero of Manila hat 1t
would require several men to do justice
to all the engagements. AS it is, how
ever, the admiral has been very conserv-
alive in his acceptance OF invitations.
He realizes that he has succeeded in WIN
ming popular approval and he knows that
every man, woman child in the coun-
try is anxious to pay their respects to
him, but he is by far too modest a man to
be willing to submit quietly to the storm
OF applause thai would greet him if the
people had their way in the matter. He
will visit New York, because he cannot
very we'll avoid it; he will &c to Wash
ington, because his duty requires him to
visit that city, and then he will go to
Vermont, to the home of his %boyhood. for
the simple reason hat he would rather
spend his well earned vacation at this old
home, surrounded by the friends who
loved him when he was plain George
Dewey, than to visit any other place in
the world.
This in brief is Admiral Dewey's plan
for his homecoming. Later in the year
he may go to Chicago and it is more than
possible that Boston and Philadelphia
may have him as their guest for a day.
aIl1OuSn dIteT lie has UeeI lHlOuSH lG
elaborate celebrations that have already
been arranged he may decline positively
to take part in any more public recep-
tons, for it is the plain, unVarnished
truth that Admiral Dewey is one of the
most modest men in either branch of the
service today. His work at Manila gave
no hint of this fact and his treatment
of those who attempted to interfere with
him contained no indications of difidence
but when it was suggested that he should
return to enjoy some of the fruits of the
honor he had won he trembled at the
prospect. At first he was inclined to re-
fuse to receive any attentions at the
hands of the New Workers ard he only
consented upon the promise that the ex-
~erciscs should be las simple as possible
After Admiral Dewey has passed through
the ordeal that awaits him at New York
and Washington he will probably Won
der what kind of a reception he would
have received if his suggestion of SIM
plicity had not been made.

Elephant Hunting In Nnh,

When the elephant is pursued on foot
1t Is invariably sought in the deptbs of
the forest, where it has retired for sboI-
Ter from the MONDAY sun and also for
the short repOse it takes during the "a
hours. The hunter, having tracked his
quarry to its retreat. is obliged to use
the utmost stealth in approaching it.
the elephant being very light sleeper
and awakened by the slightest unusual
sound
The difficulty of moving through a
dense thorny jungle without making
any sound dissimilar to those which
might be produced by nature. such as
the stirring of the branches by light
breeze or the occasional falling of a
dead leaf, is greater than can be realized
by any one who has not tried it.
On getting within arm S length of his
game the swordsman slowly raises him
self to an erect position and deals n

ground, at the same time leaping nim-

ered' bites sheer to the bone, severing

A kissing Nation.

In no other part of the world is kiss.
ing so much in vogue as in Russia.
From time immemorial it has been the
national salute. Indeed it is more of a
greeting than caress
In public affairs, as in private. the
kiss is an established custom. Fathers
and sons kiss, old generals with rusty
mustaches kiss, whole regiments kiss.
The emperor kisses his officers. On a
reviewing day there are almost as MANY
kisses as shots exchanged. If a IiIlipu-
tan corps of cadets have earned the i'm
perial approval, the imperial salute is
bestowed upon the head boy, who passes
1t ON with hearty report to his neigh
Dor, he in his turn to the next, and so
on, through the whole juvenile body.
On holiday or fete day the young
and delicate mistress of a house will
not only kiss all her maidservants. but
all her menservants, too, and if the
gentleman does not venture above her
hand she will stoop and kiss his cheek.
To judge also from the number of
salutes the matrimonial bond in these
high circles must be one of uninterrupt-
"a felicity. A gentleman scarcely enters
or leaves the room without kissing his
wife either on her forehead, cheek or
hand.

A Sister LOaf

AT one time, when two Cheyennes got
to gambling, one lost, and luck seemed
to be against him. After he had lost
every piece of property he had, in des-
peratlon he put up his sister and lost
her. This aroused great indignation
through the tribe, but no one intimat-
ed that the unfortunate girl should not
go and live as the wife of the man who
had won her in game of cards.
Over 20 years ago the writer was su-
perlntendent of the Arapahoe Indian
school at Darlington during a period of
hve years During this time not less
than four young Indian women came
to the school. asking admittance and
protection from marriage that was
about to be forced upon them. The pro-
lection was given, and the young wo-
men afterward married according TO
their own choice. Since then these
tribes have been gradually breaking
away from their original customs until
now they are married with the lawful
marriage rites. s.-Southern Workman

Luxury, Right or wroDr

Discussing the right or wrong ot
luxury in The North American Review
Professor F. Spencer Baldwin. a Bostor
university authority on economies
comes to these conclusions.
There are justifable and there are
unJustitiable luxuries.
In general it may be laid down that
luxury which contributes to the eff
cheney of the individual in the widest
sense and which does not impose ON 90
clety for the satisfaction of its demands
an unwholesome and degrading form Of
labor Is perfectly justiiable.
MS sanction Of luxury is not TO be
stIetched to cover unlimited self in
dniSence. The part played by rational
self sacrifice in the development of char
acter Is not to be overlooked. Constant
self indulgence is demoralizing
But IN general man has right 70
spend money for anything that enricbes
and dlversifies his life, and thus aids in
the developing and rounding out of his
personality, provided the labor that is
required for the production of the arti-
cles IN question be agreeable and innoc-
uOuS.
On the other hand, luxury that de-
morallzes the individual or calls for a
noxlous form of labor is unjustifable. "
