A STORY OF DEWEY.
Why Salute Was Not Re-
turned.

j. Martin Miller. the Washington news
paper correspondent whose recent inter-
view with Admiral Dewey has created a
buzz of excitement not only In this country,
but in Germany and Europe. knew Admiral
Dewey well at Manila. Mr.. Miller has been
a globe trotter in his day, and has covered
every part Of the globe. He was at Manila
during the warm times there when Admiral
Dewey was the hero and master Of the bay
Speaking of Admiral Dewey at that time,
he said:
"A few days after Admiral Dewey was
promoted from commodore to rear admiral
a big French man-of-war came steaming
very near the Olympia. Admiral Dewey's
fla gship The Frenchman gave the COM
modores salute and waited for the return
by the American flagship of the salutation
But the Olympia's guns kept perfectly still,
while the new rear admiral was quietly
reading under the awning. The French
commander was puzzled. He did not know
what to think. He waited for quite while
and after consultation with his staff -decid-
ed to send boat over to the Olympia to
ascertain why the salutation was not re-
turned. Admiral Dewey simply said to his
ok officer: Send back word to the French
comma nder that he has evidently not looked
at my pennant. / know of no reason why
] shouldn't return a salutation that is in
tended for me-

League Of Educators.

The office of the assistant attorney gen.
eral for the department is not the least bit
disturbed by the allegations contained in a
dispatch from South Bend, Ind, in which
1t is alleged that the disclosures" regard
ing the business methods of the office were
made through the filing of an injunction
suit at Chicago by Henry Wurzer to compel
the department to cease holding the mail
addressed to the League of Educators. 1t
was alleged that one of the officials of the
Attorney Generals Office had offered to Sc
cure the release of the mail containing SIC,
coo in remittances If the suit were with
drawn.
1t is stated that this matter was consid-
cred by the Postmaster General personally
and that no such statement offer was
made. On the contrary the League of Edu-
Gators was told that it would be permitted
to receive its mall provided it returned to
the senders the remit ances, which amount
ed to over $4,000. This the League of
Educators refused to do and the mail was

WHERE HOPE is DEAD.
Russia's Great Penal Colony of Sakha"
lin Island a Living Tomb.

Russia's Great Penal Colony of Sakha-
lin Island Living Tomb.
No word Is more feared in Russia
than Sakhalin, the name Of the Cars
penal settlement along the northern
coast of Asia. 1t stands for living
tomb and is perhaps one of the most
desolate and dreary islands in all the
world. The island Is nearly 700 miles
long and varies in breadth at different
points from Is to so miles. A range
Of mountains forms the backbone, in
dividual peaks rising to the height of
nearly 5000 feet. Dense forests of
spruce and fir cover the lower slopes
of the range, but, owing to the lati-
tude, the timber line Is low, and the
lack of transportation renders the for
est useless. Chilly rains throughout
the summer, days, sometimes weeks,
Of steady snowfall during the winter,
a leaden sky, cherries shore, a gray,
wind-lashed sea, these are the charac-
teristics Of the 'accursed island"
Formerly the unhappy wretches con
demned to Imprisonment on Sakhalin
marched overland on foot to their des-
tination. The sign post at Alexan-

My brother, do you ever in your tancT
seem to see
The wet snow on the bushes where we
crossed the little stream?
DO you ever hear the simmer OF the
sweets that seemed to be
So glad to tender freedom to the vag-
rant clouds of steam?
And the sirup dripped in snow
That was spotless, long ago!
Can you gancy that you taste it as ii
tasted to you then?
Oh, to see the embers brightly
Glowing where we watched them
nightly
And to hear you playing on your old
ACCORDION again!
Once more they hear the music of the
drip, drip drip,
Where the pals, propped up ON billets,
lean against the maple trunks;
There are marks that wooden runners
leave behind them as they slip
Where the woodland ways are soggy
and the moss comes loose IN
chunks;
All the soft west winds are blowing
And the sap is flowing, flowing
Where the farmers boy goes splitting
sweet elixir here and there;
The smoke is drifting blue
And the brooks are singing through
Tha woods where once whistied, full OF
visions that were fair.

"Hit Me; I'm Big Enough.

He wasn't very big, but he was a
sturdy little chap with face that bore
the marks of much thinking and pre-
mature responsibility. 1 learned after
ward that he was supporting a crippled
mother and an invalid sister who had
been left helpless in the world by the
death Of her father. He might have
run away from home and evaded the
responsibility, but he didn't think of it.
He just sold papers.
At the loop on 18th street a crowd
was gathered, waiting for the evening
cars. A ragged little girl was selling
flowers at the 18th street end Of the
waiting station when a man, rushing to
catch his car, knocked her against the
side of the building. Without stopping,
probably not having noticed what he
had done. he continued his rush, when
the boy stepped in front Of him, de-
family.
"Say, what do you want to knock a
girl down for? Hit me; I'm big enough"
The man paused in surprise, and then
glanced around. He saw the flower girl
picking up her wares, and understood,
Without a moments hesitation he went
back to her, gave her money enough
to make her eyes sparkle with joy, and
said:
I'm sorry, my dear, that hurt you
didn't see." Then, turning to the boy
ne continued: you said you were big
enough, young man, but you're a great
deal bigger than you think. Men like
you will have lot to do with keeping
this old world in condition of self,
respect"
Then he caught his car and the boy
and the girl stood there WONDERING
what he meant.-Denver Times.

~ nee more they're making ready
Il II for the drip, drip, drip,
~ Of the sugary sap that trickles
from the bare-limbed maple
trees;
Ere long the farmer boys'll turn the
buckets up and sip
The nectar Nature gives to them she
wishes most to please;
l can see the wood smoke curling,
l can hear the brook that's purling
Past the sugar house that's standing on
the little grassy knoll;
In my fancy | can hear
The first robin singing near,
And an old, delightful longing takes pos
session of my soul.
All, those were happy mornings when
the old mare dragged the sled,
With the barrel standing on it, where
the leaves lay thick and wet,
When the clear drops fell from branches
lightly swaying overhead
And l whistled out SO loudly that the
tunes may echo yet;
How stopped the sap around
On myself and on the ground,
How the barrel used to teeter as the old
sled bumped along!
Oh, | wonder where the mare is,
And l wonder if out there is
Still some boy who gathers sap and
makes the woods ring with his
song2

"Great and mighty king" said the
youth, in tone that gave evidence Of his
truth, Il think God will answer my pray
ers as quickly as those of any of my peo-
pie, and SO far as the Natchez are in the
right, will I pray for them"
"And thou wilt tell him all the wrongs
we suffer, and all the indignities that are
heaped upon usP'
II will" replied White Hand
Then thou shalt be the well-beloved
of the Natchez. Let US return now, and
as we go, / will tell thee more. The
white chief at Rosalie is called Chopart.
He is a bad man, and liar I dare not
tell thee all the evil he has done. But
he has robbed us Of our cattle, and We
can have no redress. He has encroached
upon our lands, and we cannot drive him
off. But o! the day of deckoning must
come. Beware, my son, that thou lettest
not thy sympathy run with these bad
men, for the hour is nigh at hand-the
hour of vengeance and retribution!'
The king spoke no more, only to bid
White Hand goodnight when they reach
ed the dwelling. and soon the youth was
with his princess. Truly his situation
was strange one. and that night he
prayed long and fervently, but he dared
not let his wife know all his prayer.

 The report of the management recit- cd that the republic of Panama now eX- ercised sOgeTeignty over the isthmus and added: "In view of the accepted fact and in the face of superior force, we can only maintain and continue eX- isting enga asements with the United States

agement of the theatre that the fire was not caused by an electric wire or attributable to any defect in the equip ment of the theatre. It started, they claim by the bursting of a calcium light apparatus. The concussion was so great that it blew out the skylight over the stage and auditorium This statement of the theatre management is contradited by many people who were in the theatre and who declared that when the explosion occurred they saw flames in a narrow streak cross ing the wall near the upper part sof the drop curtain.
 w. A. c. Sellers house fireman, who was severely burned in trying to lower the asbestos curtain, describes the scene upon tke stage and the cause as follows:
 ''I was standing in the wings when I heard all explosion and then inn mediateIy went forward a cry of 'firen from the stage and ali over the theatre. Looking up l saw that the curtain was ablaze and at once I rang for the fire curtain. We got it half way down when the wind, rushing in from the broken skylightS bellied it out so that it caught and we could not budge it. With the stage hands I climbed to where it was suspended,' and together we tried to push it down. Our efforts were futile, and seeing that no human power could move that fire curtain and that the stage was mass of flames I turned my attention toward warning the actors and trying to save those who were in trouble. The women werC frantic and the men not much better. I stood at the stairway leading to the
