OeWey's Awakening.

Admiral George Dewey has at last
awakened to the important fact that
the people do not propose to spoil a
naval hero, not even to save Democ-
racy from Bryan. He says, or, at least,
an interviewer alleges that he says. Il
thank God they don't appear to want
me-" What Mrs. Mildred Hazen Dewey
has to say is not recorded, but there
self on the matter in private. if not in
public. The several swings which Ad-
miral Dewey has made around the
circle have evidently brought him to a
realizing sense of the fact that the
people want him for a naval hero and
not n President. He was greeted
everywhere as the victor of Manila.
not as a candidate. He got lots of
cheers, but not a delegate. His boom
was of the kind that wouldn't boom.
And now, just as everybody was for
getting about the unfortunate fizzle he
made trying to break into politics. he
brushes the icy stalactites off his can
didacy and is quoted as saying: Il
have no hesitation in saying that my
sition is just this: Some time ago The
Democratic leaders, or those whom We
have always regarded as the leaders.
asked me if l would allow my name to
he used in connection with the presi-
dpncy. After thinking this proposition
over several weeks, I said yes and
accordingly announced that if the
people wanted me to serve in that
capacity. l would gladly do 50. But.
l thank God. they don't appear to want
me"
! This clears up the mystery of the
admirars candidacy. His statement
does not implicate his bride as one of
the guilty parties, but it will be felt
that his devotion shielded her and the
finger Of suspicion will still be pointed

By that means you become so accus-

winning his second race in England.
His first victory had found him unpre-
pared. He was ready for his second
with a speech composed for him by
newspaper friend neatly copied out on
paper and stored away for use in his
coat pocket.
When the crowd outside the club
house insisted upon seeing and hearing
the winner, he was helped out upon a
window ledge by his friends and held
there by the coattails and the legs.
The crowd cheered him wildly. He
was too confused to speak. They
cheered him again. He threw out his
hand in a gesture of helplessness and
moved his lips in some inaudible mum
BILE of apology for his inability to deliv-
err a speech. They could not hear on
account of the noise that they were
themselves making, but they encourag-
cd him with a generous applause. He
saw his escape and proceeded to shake
his head and work his lips in a fine
frenzy of oratory, gesticulating elo-
quently and smiling his thanks. The
noisy and good natured crowd cheered
him to the ecno, and his friends drew
him in from his precarious position on
the window ledge.
