CAPTAIN GRlDLEY.s noTHER.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

''You may fire when ready, Gridley!''
The laconic command of Admiral
Dewey to Captain Gridley of the flag
long live in the annals of the Ameri-
can navy, rich as it is in historic utter
ance
Gridley gave the word to the gun
crews that sank the Spanish flagship
and made junk of the feet of Spain.
A month afterward the brave Gridley
paid the forfeit Of that days work
with his life
Every schoolboy knows about Grid
ley and the one sided battle Of Manila
Bay.
Few of US have known about the
mother of the Olympia's commander
no less an American heroine than was
her son hero.
At the age of eighty-three Mrs. Anna
ing her bread by putting the red seal
on all official letters that go out of her
department. Some days she will affix
as many as 400 seals.
Hers has been career mingled with
sorrow and heroism.
Fifty years ago she lived in a Mich
igan town. Her eldest son-the future
captain-wanted to go to Annapolis.
The mother was loath to see him go.
With her it was the terrible struggle
"'twixt love and duty" She was pa
triotic and lent her boy to the country.
Three years after the civil war broke
out.
| The call came for army nurses.
At home Mrs. Gridley had an in
valid husband and two small children.
Again came the struggle between love
and duty. She went to the front as a
nurse.
While she was in the field an cpl
demic took away her husband and two
children, leaving to her only the son.
Again the clouds of war broke. The
battle of Manila was fought. There
| was no prouder woman than Mrs.
Gridley. few weeks later her only
son was buried with honors.
And now the old mother recollects
that though her boy was i'll that fate
full day of the battle, he stuck to his
post. And so she sticks no less brave
" to her task, having nothing now but
her memories and her daily task.
In Europe the mother of such not
ed captain would be given pension
for life
Gridley's mother asks no pension.
She asks only the chance to work for
the government to which she has given
her ala chance to work at eighty
threei
The formula seldom fails:
