The Chronic i,essimist.

serious to alarm anybody, the chronic

its repetition becomes too monotonous
for anybody to read, the habitual

saved Nv His Flag Lieutenant.

New York World: Dewey declined
to be h~obsonized yesterday. He was
willing to kiss children and the women
of his own immediate family but he
wouldn't let a strange woman Kiss him
right in full view of the thousands who
besieged the Olympia.
1t was early in the day, but the ship
was swarming with visitors. Among
them was pretty girl, smartly dressed
and fine of face and figure.
She was among the few who made
their way to the deck that is kept sa-
cred for the admiral. She got close
enough to shake his hand and to say
a few words of congratulation, and the
admiral responded pleasantly, with the
remark that he hoped that his guest
would see the ship and enjoy herself.
Suddenly the girl drew his hand
close to her and pursed up her lips.
They were pretty lips and the face was
winsome and sweet.
Dewey looked nonplused. First he
started to help out the kiss, then he
hesitated. There We're q lot of people
looking. Would he be another Hob.
son?
Doubt and %indecision chased them
selves across the hero's face. The girl
was pretty, very pretty; her face was
winsome and her lips all ready. Dewey
qnailed before the sight.
If he refused, what?
If he gave in, what?
But the ubiquitous Brumby, his flag
officer. was equal to the occasion. He
pushed the woman back. 1t was a
gentle push. There was nothing rude
about it, but the admiral was saved.
The red lips lost their would-be kiss
and the face fell.
But Dewey recovered himself.
81 am glad to have met you," said he,
passing on to the next caller.

opinion that there is not likely to be
any difficulty about Mr.. Harrison col.
Letting whatever has been promised
him from any government that may
be in power in Venezuela. They say
that any element in power probably
would regard this as a debt Of
honor, and that the fact alone that Mr.,
Harrison was formerly the chief ex-

cured for Venezuela the recognition
Of her rights, would be sufficient to in
sure him fair treatment under all cir

of the obligation Of a new government
to pay this debt Of the old should the
revolution succeed; yet should the OBJ
legation be repudiated it would be a
departure from custom for the United
States government to attempt to com
