Dewey and the Powder Rox

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 powder boy on the flagship acct
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
disobedience Of orders, serious Of
Tense 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"

MlNoT LEDGE LIGHTHOUSE
The First One Was Swept Away witt
IT'S nceun0nfa

The First One Was Swept Away With
Its Occupants.
The first lighthouse on MinotS ledge
was built in 1913. 1t was an octagonal
tower resting on the tops of eight
wrought iron piles eight inches in diam
eter and sixty feet high, with their
bases sunk five feet in the rock. These
piles were bfaced together in many
ways, and, as they offered less surface
to the waves than a solid structure, this
lighthouse was considered by all au-
thorities upon the subject to be excep-
tionally strong.
Its great test came in April, 1851. On
the 18th Of that month, two keepers
being In the lighthouse, an easterly
gale set in, steadily increasing in force.
People on shore, and no doubt the
keepers themselves, watched the heavy
seas sweep harmlessly through the net
work of piles beneath the house and
feared no harm. On the 18th, however,
the wind and sea had greatly increased
and the waves were flung higher and
higher toward that tower in the air.
Yet all thought they surely could not
reach sixty feet above the ledge.
That night was one of keen anxiety,
for the gale still increased, and all
through that dreadful driving storm
and darkness the faithful keepers were
at their posts, for the light burned
brightly. On Wednesday, the 10th, the
gale had become hurricane, and when
at times the tower could be seen
through the mists and sea drift 1t
seemed to bend to the shock of the
waves. At 4 o'clock that afternoon an
ominous proof of the fury of the waves
on Minot's ledge reached the shore,
a platform which had been built be-
tween the piles only seven feet below
the floor Of the keepers room. The
raging seas then were leaping fifty feet
in the air. Would they reach ten feet
higher, for If so the house and the
keepers were doomed? Nevertheless,
when darkness set in the light shone
out as brilliantly as ever. But the gale
seemed, If possible, then to increase.
What agony those two men must have
suffered! How that dreadful abode
must have swayed in the irresistible
hurricane, and trembled at each crash
ing sea! The poor unfortunates must
have known that if those seas, leaping
always higher and higher, reached their
house it would be flung down into the
ocean and they would be buried with
1t beneath the waves.
To those hopeless, terrified watchers
the entombing sea came at last At /
o'clock in the morning the lighthouse
bell was heard by those on shore to
give a mournful clang, and the light
was extinguished. It was the funeral
knell of two patient heroes.
Next day there remained on the rock
only eight jagged iron stumps.

and, before any one could interfere,
had boxed Ted's ears soundly and fed
to her room. No one made comment
on the scene save that Mr. Carleton
amusedly met the laughter In Anne's
eyes and told Ted that he would have
no more of his teasing. Rosalie's ca
PRECIOUS treatment of John had long
been disapproved of by her family,
and, while they were all sorry for her,
they thought it time she should come
to her senses.
Time had been slow and torturing to
John He wanted to tell Resale that
he loved her and her only. He wanted
to send her flowers, to give her every
desire of her heart, and he found it a
misery to see her or not to see her.
Meantime he was very attentive to
Anne, who was becoming vastly bored
with his raptures and sorrows and was
longing for him to win his Rosalie and
let her go back to her old peaceful
ways.
At last one night Anne walked and
heard Rosalie sobbing to herself. In
the morning she pleaded headache and
stayed in her room till nearly evening.
Anne had long conference by tele-
phone with John and took pains to
have her father and Ted spend the
evening elsewhere.
After dinner she went to Rosalie's
room and pleaded being tired. She
coaxed Rosalie to arrange her pretty
hair and don pretty gown SO she
could go down If any one should come.
While Rosalie was sulkily doing as her
sister wished, Anne heard the bell and
slipped down to answer 1t. She came
back saying it was some one for her
father and asked Resale If she would
mind going to the library and bringing
the book she had left on the table.
Rosalie, in her trailing blue dress,
went downstairs and through the hall
into the library. She had half crossed
the room before she saw John sitting
In q great chair in the dim freight.
She wanted to flee from him, but some
how her feet would not move, nor did
she find a word to say. Then to her
dismay she knew that slow tear was
falling down her cheek. John came
quickly toward her. It seemed very
comfortable to be leaning against him.

at her. She tried to smile.
"WeIl," he questioned, ''how shall it
be? You know you said you hoped you
would never have to refuse me again.
I hope you will not. Just for variety,
suppose you-take me-"
After the little minutes had cunning
~ slipped away and it was time that
he should leave her, Rosalie exclaimed
in dismay:
"Oh, Anne's book! She will be wait
ing for it."
II hardly think So" John asserted
dryly. "Your sister Anne is wise. She
knew better than to expect you in
moment when she sent you down to
mev'
"Sent me to your Resale echoed.
Eyes, my lady! Do you imagine your
sister has been trailing me about for
her pleasure? She is more glad to be

the people to boast the most perfect

not to sacrifice the purely graceful or

A year later occurred the death of
Mrs. Letitia Tyler, the wife of Presi-
dent Tyler, and from September, 1912,
until the second marriage of the Pres
ident, in 1874, eight months before his
retirement, the life of the Executive
Mansion was not gay. But when
President Tyler left Washington early
in the morning of June 25, 1874, to be
married in New York, Washington so
ciety looked forward to another gay
season. His bride was Miss Julia Gar
diner. young woman of twenty.
The bridal reception at the Execu-
tive Mansion in Washington occurred
on the Saturday following and was at
tended by nearly every official in the
city, all the foreign Ministers, army
and navy officers and great throngs
of women. All Washington, in fact,
was represented at that reception,
which was as notable an event as the
wedding itself.
The wedding of Nellie Grant was
the ninth to occur in the White
House. 1t was the first to be cele-
brated in the east room, and Miss
Grant was the third daughter of a
President to be married in the Execu-
tive Mansion. The first, as has been
stated, was Miss Marie Monroe; the
second, Miss Elizabeth Tyler
Miss Grant was IS at the time, a
handsome, happy and affectionate girl.
