DEwEY's REBuKE.
Splinter from the Pensacola
as a Souvenir.

Though Admiral Dewey is model
OF patience and considerate polite
ness. he can be peremptory and cut
tingly ironical when occasion calls.
His friends recall an interesting in
cident illustrative of these traits. 1t
took place in 1915 when he was COM
mander of the Pensacola of the Eu-
ropean squadron, says the Philadel-
phia Post. His vessel visited a
Mediterranean port which has seen
few American war ships since the
war with Tripoli. As the Pensacola
needed sprucing up, Commodore
Dewey gave orders that no visitors
be allowed on board until noon of
the next day.
Il happened that New York
nabob was in the harbcr with his
Yacht. In his launch he made for the
Pensacola without delay. but was re-
fused permission to board by the
deck officer.
NO visitors will be received until
noon tomorrow" the millionaire
was informed.
''But you must let me on now.
the nabob urged. 81 am Mr.. So-and-
So. you know" mentioning his
charmed name. II pay more taxes
in America than any other two men.
and. in fact. I own half the United
States navy"
LET him up" came an order from
the commander.
The man of millions clambered
aboard and was met by Dewey.
81 heard your remark that YOU
owned half of the United States
navy" said the commander: and
then. STOPPING. he cut with his knife
silver of wood from the deck and
handed it to the boastful visitor.
"Take this souvenir OF the Pensa-
cola and keep it, remarked the com
mander. 1T is yours; it is all you
have ever owned or ever will own OF
the navy of the United States. Shall
be glad to see you with other Wis
itors any time after the noon hour
tomorrow
So saying. Dewey turned and
| walked aft. and crestfallen Croesus
crept back to his launch.

to pay the six months salary due. This
they proceeded to do SO quietly that no
one surmised general canvass was
being made. Before Sunday the entire
amount was secured.
Friday, after school. the Junior
leaguers met and decided that mas
much as the grown-up folks would not
help in the matter, they would do what
they could; so they voted 10 pay over
every bit there was in the treasury.
Upon counting. $685. was found to be
the correct amount.
''Oh. girls" cried Lottie Newman. as
she made some figures in the treas

a Mt.u,e Of the D.y.

It is said that certain ministe, was
in the habit of selecting the texts of
his Thanksgiving day discourses from
the Book of Lamentations. The ele-
gies of the weeping prophet have their
place in the sacred volume. There is
time for everything, and there are
occasions in which the mournful dirge
and the fearful lament are fitting:
but the appropriate thing for Thanks
giving day is the glad carol and the
psalm of praise. There are other days
in the calendar on which to bewail evils
and to strike at social and political
wrongs. Let this one day at least be
set apart for thanksgiving.-Baptist
Union.

Who Fixed Thanksgiving Day.

According to the Boston Transcript.
it was a woman who was the means of
having definite day in the year set
apart for the national observance of
Thanksgiving. Mrs. Sarah Josepha
Hale. a Boston woman. and editor of
the first woman's magazine published
in this country. worked for 20 years
to accomplish this end. Time did not
6aunt her courage, but rather in
creased her insistence. She wrote 10
governors of states and to presidents
of the United States. At last Presi-
dent Lincoln adopted her suggestion
in 1864, when there was reason to re-
joice over the success of the north in
restoring the union.

much scandalized. Such thing hao
never been cone before-not even

that the Rev. Wesley Norwood had re-

faithful service.
II don't believe in bringing up such
matters in the religious services of the

Notwithstanding this, it was gener-

something must be done. But when

seemed as far from accomplishment

something extra while getting reaoy
