Many stories have been written and
told about Admiral Dewey and his
heroic deed at Manila bay, but none
show the kindness of heart of which
this modern hero is capable as the fol-
lowing. which has just come to light:
When the order was given to strip for
action Just before the battle of Manila
Bay n powder boy on the flagship acci-
dentally dropped his coat overheard.
He asked permission to jump after it,
but was refused. In spite of the re-
fuSal he dropped overheard, recovered
his coat, was caught and arrested for
ldiSObedicnCe of orders, Il serious Of
fense in the navy, especially under this
commander, The boy was brought be-
fore the admiral, who kindly but firm
ly demanded an explanation. Break
ing into tears, the lad said the coat
contained his mothers picture and he
could not bear to see it lost. For once
the admiral relaxed in his discipline.
Release him. he said. "A boy who
loves his mother enough to risk his
life for her picture cannot be kept un-
der arrest in this fleet"

To boil water would seem to be a

it right off for use in tea, coffee or
other drinks before it is spoiled. To let
it steam and simmer and eyapOrate I'M

Seattle in Billings during the land rush
has proved timely and most effective
for socialism. Every opportunity has
been utilized to get the message to the
great throngs that have poured into
Billings at the land drawing. For nine
consecutive evenings our speaker has
held street meetings warranted to open
the eyes of Billings citizens to the
magnitude of the growing socialist
sentiment and the Importance of the
socialist movement. This, AIDED to the
Collins meetings has stirred up Bill
lings and put life into the movement
from which we have every reason to
expect excellent results.
