He has but one fad, If fad lit may
be called, and that is his love for
animals. He has one of the finest
teams of driving horses in the city
and also an ugly-looking English bull
dog. The dog went through the bat
tie of Manila Bay with Dewey, so they
are real bunkies.
When the admiral was making a
tour of inspection of the fleet the dog
went along and was allowed the run
of a vessel while his master was
aboard. On one ship the admiral re-
turned from the mems quarters just
in time to encounter the dog sailing
in most hurried fashion from the Of

officers boot in hot pursuit
Admiral Dewey was white with an
ger and surprise. In a second, when
the captain appeared, following the di-
rection of the Toe of his boot, the ad-
miral, controlling himself as best he
could, demanded:
"Sir, what do you mean by kicking
nv dog in that manner?"
The captain came to swift salute
and his face, 1t was noted, was as
pale and drawn with suppressed anger
as was that Of the admiral.
"Sir," he said II would have kicked
that dog if he had been the personal
property of the Supreme Being; but
sir, l would not have kicked him
and did not kick him, until he 5iat

OLD FREIGHTER RISES
FROM WATERY GRAVE
North Alabama, Sunk in Big Muddy
Below vermiIIion in 1870, Appears
Above Surface of Waters.

Nermillion, S. d.. July lS.-The river
steamer North Alabama. which struck
a snag in the Missouri six miles below
Vermillion thirty-six years ago TINS
month and sank to the bottom OF the
treacherous stream. together with a
very valuable cargo yesterday was
seen rising above the mIrky waters OF
the Big Muddy. and crowds Of sight
seers are iiocking to the bank TO see
the old boat that has been stranded
for so long.
The steamer sank in 1870 whila
transporting a cargo of -four and
whisky from Sioux City to the yell
lowstone district. and while the older
residents remember the incident of its
sinking. it had passed from their minds
until the old ship began TO rise from
its watery grave.
There were fifty barrels of fine old
whisky aboard the craft and none of
1t was ever recovered, and ii Is quite
probable that Il search of the old
freighter will now be made in an at
tempt to find the liquor, which would
certainly look good to a lover of that
thirst destroyer with its added age of
thirty-six ears
