Not Very FIatterinp.

Last winter delegation of Indians
from far western state, on tour Of
inspection through the interior depart
ment, visited the land office, where
they were introduced to the clerk who
had especial charge of their section of
the country bumptious little individ-
ual with big head This official pro-
ceeded to Overpower the red men with
his Importance. Grasping each one Of
them cordially by the hand, he patted
them patronizingly on their backs
and then delivered a long speech, ex-
planning in detail the work of the of
flee, their interest in it, laying particu-
lar stress on the fact that he was the
motive power of it all. AS soon as
their entertainer paused for breath the
visiting Indians began to grunt and
talk among themselves.
What are they sayingY' asked the
egotistical clerk, expecting to hear
high praise Of himself. Tell me what
they are saying"
II cannot tell you," replied the inter-
prefer. "It was not for you to hear"
But the little man insisted, and with
great reluctance the interpreter finally
yielded. "They said," he translated,

gangway with his friends, and the en-
tire party went to the after cabin,
where the health Of the admiral the
Shamrock, and of course the Columbia,
were drunk with enthusiasm. The adj
miral remained on board for nearly
half an hour and then started for his

he stood on the rail of his white launch.
The unexpected arrival of the Olym-

elaborate plans of the reception COM

the arrangements for the reception in
Dewey's honor it was decided to con-
suit the admiral After hasty meet

of the reception committee visited the

it was very satisfactory, and that he

VIII Receive a Conqueror's Welcome at
New York Interview with the Hero of
Manila Bay.
New York, Sept 27.-Admiral George
Dewey arrived off New York at dawn
yesterday and the Olympia is now an
chored in American waters in the light
of Sandy Hook. The first shout of well
come came from the pilots and crew of
pilot boat No. Z, fifteen miles south of
the Hook lightShiD. The marine OBJ
servers along the coast had sighted the
Olympia in the first light of the morn
ing. The shore batteries of Fort Han
cock, manned by gunnerS called from
breakfast, let loose seventeen guns.
The flagship replied with twenty-one
and let go her anchors not far from
where the cup-challenger Shamrock is
mOOred. The admiral was in his own
country again after tWenty-three
months absence. The pilot had
brought aboard the Sunday papers and
a reporter Of the Associated Press was
received by the admiral in a cabin lit
tered by the illustrated Dewey edi-
tons.
Feels Almost Sad Over the Welcome,
''It almost saddens me-" he said, ''to
see what my people are doing for me.
The pride and qualification is immense,
and | cannot express the appreciation

said, lis not we'll. He yearns to be

and to scamper around. l feel a good
deal that way myself / am mighty
glad to get home. 1t isn't good for a
man any more than a dog to live on
shipbOard for tWenty-three months"
How the Admiral Is Looking.
The admiral said that he felt tired,
but he did not look so. His complex
ion is q clear bronze, his hazel eyes
bright, his bearing brisk and rather
jaunty. Some deep lines are under his
eyes and around his mouth, but his
voice is singularly clear and pleasant.
The admiraPs whole presence is that
of man in his fullest powers. His
manner is gentle and kind, but he is
exceedingly wary and did not permit
himself to wander off into politics or
to utter those positive views he no
doubt holds about the Philippines and
American affairs there. He said: II
cannot stand for any interview giving
my opinions on political subjects and
the Philippines. 1 disown any views
ascribed to me on those subjects"

table, las 1 came up on the car the
fellow next to me had nickel out and

along and, thinking it was a quarter,
gave him back four nickels. The fell

That was pretty slick, wasn't it?'
We'll, it would be- 1 said, if you were

But that conductor will have to pay
that out of his own pocket. He only

It's tough on him."
