of Manila Bay on May 1st, 1898, died
at his home in Washington on Tues

years.
Admiral Dewey was born and rear

graduating as second lieutenant, and
at the outbreak of the Civil war was
placed on active duty. He command

Just prior to the outbreak of the
Spanish American war he was sent by
the government as commander of q
fleet to the far east, ard while an
chored in Hongkong harbor, received
news Of congress declaring war. The
laws Of nations prohibit vessels Of
nations at war Of remaining In neu-
trail harbors over twenty four hours,
and he was notified to seek some
other harbor.
The admiral knowing that the Phil.
ippine Islands belonged To Spain, set
his fleet in molten for Manila Bay,
arriving there on the morning Of May
1st. 1898, sank, the entire Spanish
fleet and captured the city without

States. Since the war and until his
death he has been chief adviser at
the navy department. and his name
will go down into history as one OF
the greatest naval officers the world
has ever produced.
The remains will be buried at the

EMPTIED BASKET OF EGGS
Truthful Story Of Rats Strategy Which
of Course One Is Not Com
PEELED to Believe.

Really" said the young man as he
leaned over the cigar counter at the
corner drug store, II can scarcely hope
that any one will believe this story.
l will just tell it and let it go at that.
My wife the other day bought dozen
eggs-nO that is not the most imprOb-
able part of the stOry-yes. she bought
dozen eggs and hung them up in u
basket in the cellar some distance from
the floor above. Hearing noise in
the cellar she was afraid to go down
stairs. l tiptoed my way half u dozen
steps down and there / saw fine
piece of strategy-I mean rategy-as
one could wish.
Three rats in string, the top one
on the cellar wall. the lowest one In
the basket, were passing the eggs from
one to another. made little noise
and the rats pulling themselves up to
the top Of the wall. disappeared.
Eleven of the IL eggs had been taken
from the basket. There they were ali
in row on the top of the wall.
II went upstairs to call my wife to
show her those II eggs. wasn't gone
more than five minutes. When she
came down the cellar steps with me
and was pointing to the top of the
wall-well, the eggs were gone. Then
looked into the basket for the twelfth
egg. 1t, too. was gone! An even
dozen. at 4S cents!
"No. I don't expect you to believe It.
I just tell the story. Maybe you'll
even doubt the price of the eggs."-
