How Dewey ANSWERED.

When Admiral (tren COMMODORE
Dewey was first appointed to the
Asiatic squadron before the Spanish
war he found the fleet in great need
of coal. He knew that coal was a
necessity, and withiut waiting fol
orders from Washington Immediately
purchased a large supply. The gov
eminent officials we're not in the habit
of having the department heads pur-
chase supplies unless authorized, and
ii was only a few days after the wal
department had learned OF the action
of Commodore Dewey that he receiv'
ed the following message:
why did you purchase SO much
coal without authorization"
Dewey's reply was just as laconic.

the ministry. While the regiment
was at Camp Douglass this summer
some of the boys of the company
thought to have a little fun at the
expense of the two ministers. When
the beer, which some one had sent
to the regiment as a treat, was to be
served, they asked their captain II
the two ministers might serve 1t.
He said they might. The boys
were jubilant and served notice of
their new duty to the two students.

town in Tennessee years ago, and
went to that city to practice law. He
has been uniformly successful. His
brother, upon the other hand, re-

Returning to his native town some

Hello, uncle" he said, but the old
man did not recognize the boy he
used to know in the prosperous look
ing citizen who addressed him.
WELL" acked. the lawyer, "how

Hale ON Fighting.

The retiring senator from Maine.
says the Washington Herald. has long
been regarded as a man who, while
not necessarily hunting for a fight in
congress, can put up a pretty fair
battle when occasion demands. An
old friend of Senator Hale told this
story the other day and 1t is said to
be illustrative of the Hale temper
ment:
One of Hales sons, now an attorney
in Portland, was then a small boy.
One day he came into his fathers
Office and remarked that he was 60
ing to have a fight with another
Iyoungster the next DAY.
His father r%eproved him and said
that he didn't want him fighting with
his playmates.
But ! don't see how ! can get out
of it, insisted the boy. Hes dared
me to fight him and ! told him I'd
fight him."
MY boy said Senator Hale
gravely, "if you agreed to fight some
body, then don't fail to fight him, and
above all else, see that you win"

Here's One for Women.

Clement J.. Driscoll, New York's
commissioner of police, spoke frankly
in a recent address of the American
women's poor shopping abilities.
THE American woman" said, Mr..
Driscoll, could make TO better reso-
luton for the New Year than to
handle her housekeeping money
more conscientiously. American hus-
bands have a fne reputation for be-
ing generous, but / am afraid in
many cases their generosity is much
abused.
81 am also afraid" continued Mr..
Driscoll, that Notwithstanding their
generosity, American husbands are
subjected to a great deal of pickering
at home about money.
The following conversation be-
tween a Brooklyn father and his
daughter bears out this fear:
Papa said the child, what is
the difference between parsimony and
economy
u will explain the difference by
an example," the father replied. If
| cut down my W exposes, that is
economy, but If ! cut down your
mothers then it Is parsimony.'"

His Sneech for Himself.

Magistrate O'Connor was picking
his disgruntled way through the rain
the other day, says the New York
! correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times-Star. He had hailed a street
car from the pavement, and sheltered
under his umbrella, made for the
rear platform, when a four-ton fur
niture van whirled on him, drawn by
three briskly trotting horses. Mag
istrate O'Connor escaped demolition
by a brisk sidewise leap. He called
a remonstrance to the driver. AS
far as he could see, that parsonage
had his head thrust around the cor
ner of the furniture van, while he
called back interesting items to the
magistrate. O'Connor chased him
in the street, caught him at a block
AIDED corner and had him arrested.
The driver appeared before O'Connor
himself, when the latter had got into
his silk robe of office.
Il could send you to the work
house." said the still angry magis-
trate. but I will let you off with a
fine of SIS. | intended this as u
warning to all reckless drivers"
The driver looked at Magistrate
O'Connor sullenly. and thrust his
hand into his pocket. He peeled off
five ones and started for the clerks
desk to pay.
Hold on, there said Magistrate
O'Gonnor, gathering up a bunch of
his silk gown in rvo hands.
Haven't you anything to say for
yourself?"
YES" said the driver, sourly.
They ought to make you guys wear
them Mother Hubbards on the street,
SOS a fellow could dodge yuh."
