health, he recently celebrated his
seventy-seventh birthday and on
that day he looked hale and also
went to his office as usual. He told
an inquirer that he always had
good health.
When a man can have good
health for seventy-seyen years his
case is worth while looking into
even though he should drop deau
the next day. A friend asked how
he kept his tigor undated.

do you do to keep SO hearty?"
Yes, that's true commented

but he quit early to give the boys

While on the seq, he naturally

In battle smoke. Dewey was tiar-s
ing fighter from the first. Born AT
Montpelier, Vt, he entered the
Naval Academy IN 1854. -Four years
later he was graduated and at
tached tofa steam frigate until the
outbreak OF the Civil War.
All are familiar with his marvel
Gus and daring victory at Manila
Bay, but the history OF his daring
and resourcefulncss during the
Civil War has not filed a proinin-
ent place in history, because Dew
ey was then a young man and was
a minor official. He was a lieuten.
ant commander of a boat under:
Farragrt, which forced the pass
; age of st. Philip and he was in the
subsequent fights which gave Far
ragut possession of New Orleans.
In the Battle Of Port Hudson his
boat, tho Mississippi. ran aground
in the smoke, Of battle and could
not be foated again.
SHIP FIRED UNDER M
SHELLS OF ENEMY.
AS the smoke cleared away Dew
ey's men saw they were exposed to
the fire OF the enemy's guns. The
Confederates Immediately openec
fire on the Mississippi and Dewey
realized he could not save his boat.
But rather than surrender to the
enemy he and his men poured coal
oil on deck and set fire to the yes
sci. The men then put out in / oats
and escaped. ~ sFt
Dewey was put on the Atla.atic
blockading squadron and had the
difficult task OF watching for those
dashing blockade runners who
would fight to the last to get past
the Union boats In order, to carry
their commerce to Europe.
At the end OF the Civil War Dew
ey was given a post with the
European squadron. In 1867 he
was married to the daughter OF
Gov. Iehabod Goodwin OF New
Hampshire and his only son was
