Remarkable Feat Credited to Hero OF
Spanish-American Wsr.

Though Admiral Dewey is universal
ly known to be hale and hearty. hardly

called on him at his Washington home
not long ago and found the admiral
standing on the front steps. Dewey
invited him in, but the disabled man
looked doubtfully at the steps, seeing
which the admiral reached into the
carriage, picked him up bodily and
carried him up the steps and into the
drawing room, where he placed his
burden in the easiest chair at hand.
