Admiral Depey's Resentment.

The righteous Indignation of Admiral
Dewey, and the vigorous snub administered
by him to the people, was well-merited.
Love and honor should have been the reward
of the Admiras old age, and it is deeply t.
be deplored that the i'll advised criticism of
part of the Eastern press should have dis
turbed the peace of our hero's home coming
Doubtless the objections to the Admiral's
dispositions of his gift desired that it should
be turned int" museum after his death
The American nation does not make gifts
with strings attached. The hearty sympathy
of the people at large is with the Admiral and
it is to be hoped that the attacks of yellow
Journalism will not jaundlce the national at
lection of the man who fought his country S
battles and won their victories. The restora
ton of his name to prominent position on
the Trumphal Arch is some reparation for
the sting while History will forget the petty
insult and preserve Dewey's name and honor
intact.

THE WATCHER ON THE STAIR.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: The little son
of Law Director Hogsett evidently be-
lieves that there are occasions when the
good citizen is justified in taking the'1aw
into his own hands.
Every night before retiring the little
chap carefully places a toy pistol beneath
his pillow. II
OF course they have laughed at him,
telling him that he might wake up some
fine morning and find that pistol, pillow
and all had disappeared together.
For he certainly has the reputation of
a sound sleeper.
But the other night his mother awoke
and remembered that something had
been left unlocked in the lower part of
the house. So she quietly stole down the
stairs and attended to the GRAND.
She was on her way back, and was
slowly ascending the stairs when a
hoarse whisper assailed her ears:
who's that?"
She looked up quickly. and there on
the top step. outlined against the gloom,
stood a tiny white figure. And the fig
ure's arm was outstretched. and in the
small hand was a cleaning toy pistol.
OF course he knew her as o as she
spoke. and was presently back in bed
again. with his precious shooting iron be-
meath his head.
At the table next morning he gravely
remarked:

mamma. that you spoke when you did"
