The patent fact that Admiral Dewey,
as man of 60 years, has reached the
age where honors might easily become
burdensome, has been emphasized in
one way and another and especially in
his own remark, already much quoted,
that he began this hero business too
late in life" So far as the ability to
hold receptions, to appear at a success
sion of brilliant feasts and to face social
cOnspicuousness without WEAKNESS, is
concerned, his remark is doubtless true.
But it need not be a matter of regret to
the hero himself nor to his truest friends
and worshipers.
The people had, of course, to satisfy
themselves with a first outburst of tu-
multuous ovation even at a temporary
expense of their idols comfort. But
the real honor, as they well know, will
be paid him in the world-long gratitude
of the nation and by his place in his
tory. With this age has nothing to do,
and the very fact that it all comes at a
time when the more noisy tribute is less
attractive than it might have been once,
even to modest man, is almost cause
for thanlzfulness. Dewey, at 60, will
will not have his head turned by the ad-
ulation of the country.
Heroes, like most good things, are
better not to be plucked before they are
ripe.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

SEVERE STORM IN NEBRASKA,
The NeiGhborhOOd of Hardy Suffers
From HigI, Wind, Assuming the
Proportions of Tornado.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 16.-A storm of
unusual violence, particularly for this
time of year, visited the country in the
vicinity of Hardy, Neb., late Sunday
afternoon. The wind had been high
all day, and near night assumed the
proportions of a tornado. A large
amount of damage was done to small
buildings and several large ones were
unroofed. A brick schoolhouse was
unroofed, and the walls so badly
cracked that it will have to be torn
down. The enginehouse at the Hardy
elevator was wrecked. Several barns
were blown down, and the aggregate
less will amount to many thousands of
dollars. All over the state a high
wind prevailed all day, which was fol-
lowed by a steady rain. The rain will
be very welcome, because it is needed
by fall grain,and will check the prairie
fires which have become very frequent,
and have done considerable damage.

\ hither and see our mountains of crude
metal which we are manufacturing into
\ pig iron to be converted into plow-
/ shares and reapers instead of muskets
and bayOnets. What we want now is
not the blood of the Blue, but their
money. The South panteth after their
/ pOcketbOoks even as the heart panteth
after the water brook. The Gray boys
once snapped the Blue boys tobacco
for coffee; they are now anxious to ex-
change coal and iron and timber lands
for cash. They once built forts; they
now want factories. They once greeted
Dewey with grape and canister; they
are now eager to welcome the hero of
Manila with grape juice and decanters.
They stand among the tombstones of
their comrades, true to their dead for
what they were, yet loyal to the Union
for what it is. They kneel among their
monuments to kiss the Stars and Bars
in their devotion to the glorious past;
they rise to salute the Stars and Stripes,
and to pledge their devotion to the
Union through all the glorious future.

My ideal of a Southern patriot is the
man who bravely wore the gray until
his flag went down in tears and blood
at AppOmattOx, and then accepted the
decision of war in good faith and went
home to become loyal American citi-
zen and to rebuild his desOlated coun-
try. My ideal of a Northern patriot is
the man who bravely wore the blue
until the struggle was over, and then
laid aside the paraphernalia of war and
went home to help restore, not only the
union of the States, but the fraternal
of the sections. My ideal of
American patriotism is the reunion of
the Blue and the Gray for the purpose
of cementing all sections of our COM
mon country together forever. Let the
in gray mingle the Rebel yell |
with the shouts of the veterans in blue |
in giving a national welcome to the |
great ship smasher and navy sinker of |
the world; let the dew sparkle on the |
Northern hills and glitter on every |
Southern flower; let the dewdrops of |
JOY mOisten the eyes of valor and /
luiver on the checks of beauty; let the |
whole continent be dewey with delight
when Dewey comes sailing home.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS

A bold attempt was made last week
to rob the bank at Scviervillc. At noon
the citizens of this mountain village
were startled by the repeated click of
WincheSterS in the heart of the court
house square. Three masked men,
armed with Winchesters and braces of
heavy Colts pistols, were firing into the
open door of the Seviervillc bank.
The vollcy came moro as a 81 snal than
as q surprise to the officers of the town,
who had been warned that an attempt
would be made to rob the bank. They
accordingly secreted themselves in u
building opp )site the bank building
and the fire Of the bold outlaws was
promptly answeved by fusillade from
smoking Winchesters. VIM. ]. Thumer,
the leader of the robbers, dropped to
the ground wounded to the death. Cal
Derrick, another of the robbers, fell
seriously wounded.
The third man, William J. Herrick,
made his escape. For mile and half
he ran in front of fierce firing from the
pursuing officers. He entered an open
door of barn, out of sheer despera-
tion, and his place of refuge was quick
ly surrounded. Realizing that the odds
were immensely against him. he stepped
out in plain view of all, saluted the
sheriff, and crying ''goodby, boys"
placed his pistol to his head and blew
out his brains.
