Every graduating class at Annapolis
! leaves behind it the fame Of certain heroes
| in the line Of physical prowess or mental
endeayOr. says the Philadelphia Post
One Of these heroes was George Dewey a
fne, manly, athletic youth, the pride Of
the boxing and fencing masters and the
terror of all DULLES
In Dewey's class was youth of an ex-
ceilent bent for applied mathematics, but
so tender of physique that he often suffer-
ed from the rough horseplay of his elders
Dewey took this boy under his protection
and the two became fast friends. They
swung their hammocks in the same watch
on their graduating cruise and when the
ship touched at Liverpool obtained permis
sion 10 run up TO London on days leave.
by rigid economy the two had scraped TO-
seiher a little more that e apiece, and they
landed in the English capital arrayed in
splck and span new uniforms, with the air
of financial magnates. A round of sight
seeing had reduced their combined capital
to two sovereigns and their return tickets
when their boyish appetites announced the
hour of noon.
With the cautious economy of his ances-
tors the Scotsman suggested a chophouse
but, then as now, nothing but the b5st
would suit Dewey and he accordingly
steered his chum into the finest notel he
could find.
The two seated themselves at one of the
tables ana scanned the menu with a mag
nifcent air. The very first item that
caught their eyes was strawberries and
cream" and this, with its Renaissance of
home, they proceeded 10 order.
Now. the time was winter, and strawber-
ries from the Dollhouse are expensive in
London, SO it was small wonder that the
other guests who had learned the Ords r
looked inquiringly at these specimens of

A DIVISION or SAMOA.

Repeated references in the cables to
terms upon which ana agreement for di-
vision Of Samoa between the United States,
Great Britain and Germany the three
Powers interested in the islands, could BE-
made gives point to the suggestion thar
active negotiations looking TO such a di-
vision are already well advanced some
time ago If was underst ood that Germany
had proposed "a div.siou and suggested that
to her be- allotted Upolu, the middle ISL
and OF the group. TO Great Britain Savaii,
the westerumost island. and to the United
States Tutuila, the easternmost island.
Page Pago narbor is in Tuuila, ana there
are two small and insignificant specks Of
land of It's coast which. presumably. would
go with that island.
a counter proposition was made by Eng
land under the terms of which that Power
proposed TO give Germany an equivalent
if the latter would retire from Samoa.
Now a leading German newspaper is au-
thority for the statement that the only
exchange of territory which Germany
would consider would be the Tonga group,
which are situated near the Fiji Islands,
ana are IN dHtcl line from SdIlod 10
Auckland. 1t would appear from this that
Germany wants a big bonus for her abb
sence. since the Tonga Islands are about
as important as the whole of Samoa. I'm
der this suggested scheme, Great Britain
and the United States would be left in
Samoa, this country in possession of Tu-
tuila ana Page Page harbor.
The possession of this harbor furnishes
just about the only good reason for our
remaining in Samoa at all 1t is argued
that. as Samoa is on the ship route to the
Far East We must have "A naval and coal
ing station there; and this is the chief ox
cuse for all The expense and trouble the
islands have been 10 us. There are less
than 5m white persons IN Samoa. only
twenty-five of whom are Americans. and
nearly all of those are officials OF some
sort or other. The total value of all eX-
ports per aunum from the islands is less
than $4,000 and of imports into the ISL
ands less than $4,000 OF this small trade
less than 10 per cent. is with the United
States. The profits for a year on the
American trade would hardly pay the coal
bin of a revenue cutter for the same length

highly of his scientific discoveries than he
did of the mauy orders and other tokens
that were showered upon him during his
long life. He was apt to forge, TO put on MS

TO remind him of his duty by putting his
various orders in the pockets of his dress

vited with the other Heidelburg professors
10 dine with Baden Prince. He entered
the room late after the guests had assem-
bled, and one of his colleagues turned to
him and said: Excuse me, Herr Geheim-

thought for a moment, and then plunging
his hand into his left trousers pocket, pull
