NEVADA.

One of the brave jackies who was
with Dewey" at the battle OF Manila
Bay tells this new aneodOte of the
great admiral. The teller is Harry
Ileghman. a sailor of the cruiser Bos-
ton. and his story is this: The most
affecting Incident which occurred, and
which all of the sailors will remember
through their lives. was The action of
powder boy. These boys act as aids
10 captains aud leutenants in carry
Ing messages and dong errands. When
the order was given to strip for action,
one of the boys tore his coat Off hur-
riedly. and 1t fell from his hands and
went over the rail, down into the bay.
few moments before he had been
gazing on his mothers photograph. and
just before he took his coat off he had
kissed the picture and put 1t in his in
side pocket. When the coat fell over
board he turned TO the captain and
asked permission to jump overheard
and get H. Naturally the request was
refused. The boy then climbed down
the ladder. He swan around TO the
place where the coat had dropped. and
succeeded In getting 1t. | believe it
was still floating when he got there.
When he came back he was ordered In
chains for disobedience. After the bat
tie he was tried by court martial for
disobedience and found guilty. Com
modore Dewey became Interested in
the case, for he could not understand
why the hoy had risked his life and
disobeyed orders for a coat. The lad
had. never fold what his motives were.
Eut when the Commodore talked to him
Iii kindly way, and asked him why
he had done such strange things for an
old coat, he broke into tears and told
the Commodore that his mothers pic
ture was in the coat. Commodore
Dewey's eyes filled with tears as he
listened to the story. Then he picked
the boy up In his arms and embraced
him. He ordered the little fellow to
lie instantly released and pardoned.
Boys who love their mothers enough
to risk their lives for their pictures can
not be kept In irons on this feet he
said"
The American soldiers In the Philip
pines are sometimes obliged to read let
iers from home under difficulties. 1.-THE
boys were all anxious to read their let
ters," writes one of them, "but the
question was how to obtain light.
Our squad thought they had solved the
difficulty with some gum oil in dish
and rag; but no sooner had we good
light burning than the bullets began
singing around us at great rate. The
light was put out. | had plenty OF
matches, however, and | adopted an
other scheme. | covered my head with
a poncho and scratched matches till the
letter was read, although almost sur.

Don't shoot until you can see the

given by gallant Col. O'Rorke at the
summit of Little Round Top. Don't

by a Twentieth Kansas captain one
night near Manila, according to Albert
