event connected with the battle was
when the American fleet, after more
than two hours of hot lighting. hauled
off. ostensibly for breakfast, but really
because it was short of ammunition
and because Dewey and his officers
were at that time in ignorance OF the
terrible effect their fire had had on the
enemy and they feared they could not
destroy him with the amount of am
munition they had left. Apparently,
tue Spanish vessels were practically
uniniured and were keeping up con
slant and heavy fire. Dewey realized
that he was in a hostile harbor, 700G
miles from the nearest home port. and
looked with dismay on his belligerent
adversary and then on what he had
left with which 10 put him out, rs

and il was then seen that the victory
had been won. Dewey then felt that
he could spare enough more cartridges
to polish off his enemy. which was
done. The breakfast story was good
one, but like other fairy tales. it will
have to be ruled out. Mr. Stickney
describes the ugly disposition shown
by the German naval force in the har-
Dor afterward, and tells how Dewey
brought them to time by notifying the
German admiral that he could have a
fight then and there, if that was what
he wanted. Mr.. Stickney's article is a
most valuable addition to the litera-
.ure Of the recent war.

The Vernon. Maple Sugar Makers
association is to be congratulated on
at last taking practical step to pro-
mote the interests of the sugar makers
of the state. The plan of establishing
one or more depots at which the prod
uct could be deposited and from which
1t could be marketed has long been
discussed, and generally regarded with
favor, but until now nothing has been
done. That it ought to succeed and
prove of great value to our farmers is
evident Heretofore, there has been
great waste and loss in marketing the
maple product, because of the limited
quantity each dealer had TO dispose of,
which did not warrant any special eff
fort in catering to the highest needs or
in making seasonable delivery. Worse
than that, was the almost complete de-
struction of the market by the mass of
filthy substitutes dealt out TO buyers as
genuine Vermont maple sugar. Now
IT is proposed to have the product that
passes through the comparatively man.
aged depot marketed under a trade
mark that will be a guaranty of purity
and viii, in time, bring a much higher
price for that reason. Practical men
have the matter in charge and
good results may be expected.
