AN INCIDENT OF THE BATTLE.

One incident, which l have already
mentioned briefly in my dispatches, is
worthy OF more extended repetition, as
illustrating the feelings OF the enlisted
men for the COMMANDMENT chief. Com.
modore Dewey, while walking back and
forth on the starboard side OF the upper
deck, noticed that one OF the petty Off
cers-a man whose duties cid not call
for HE presence there-was making
pretense OF finding something to do on
the port side, but wac also keeping a
careful lookout on the comm odore.
This mans record OF nearly forty years
Of service in the navy and army Of the
United States has caused him to be re
garded with special interest by the OIL
GERS OF the Olympia, and he was to a
certain extent. a privileged character.
So the commodore, beng familiar with
the manners Of seamen, and seeing that
the old man had something on his mind,
said to him:
"Well, Purdy. what Is it?"
IL hope, SIR" replied Purdy, straight
ening up and saluting, rye don't intend
to fight on the Sd OF May"
"And why notY"
"Well. We see, sir" said Purdy, with
the most serious air possible, the last
time fought on the Sd of May got
licked" And then he went on to tell
OF the ill-fated day OF Charlottesville
when he had carried u gun in the army
and had gone to defeat under Fighting
Joe" Hooker.
"All right, Purd!," said the commo-
dore, I'VE won't fight on the Sd OF May
this time; but when we do fight, Purdy,
he continued, with an air of friendly
confidence, "you'll have different kind
OF May anniversary to think about
Remember that; Purdy."
LAY, ay, sir,' replied Purdy. as he
saluted and scuffed Off. And little
while later heard him telling a group
OF the other bluejackets that we'd lick
hell out O. the Spaniards il there was
ten times as many OF them!' And prob.
aqly to this day Purdy believes that il
was due to his timely hint that Dewey
went into Manila bay at once, so as to
avoid the "hoodoo" that was hanging

THE WAY TO GO TO CALIFORNIA

THE WAY TO GO TO CALIFORNIA
is in u tourist sleeping car, personally
conducted, via OF the Burlington route.
You don't change cars. You make fast
time. You see the finest scenery on the
globe. Your car is not so extensively
finished nor so fine to look at as a
palace sleeper. but it is just as clean,
just as comfortable. just as good to ride
in, and nearly $50 cheaper.
