NOT HIS KIND OF A CANNON
Admiral Knew All About One Species,
But the Other Was Beyond His
Comprehension.

The late Admiral Dewey was very
fond of music and when receptions
were held at the Dewey home musical
entertainment was always provided.
Among the admiral's favOrite singers
was Mrs. Susanne Oldberg of this city
and she related an amusing story that
reveals the distinguished hero of Ma
Mia bay in the light of a wit.
One of the admiral's favOrite selec.
tiOns was duet, called in musical par
lance a canon, where one voice is an
swered in imitation by another
throughout the piece. He seemed par
ticularly pleased always when this
canon was sung and would unfailing-
ly say to Mrs. OIdberg: "Tell me why
is this music called canon? What a
queer name for a piece of musicw
"WOuldn't it be bringing Goals to
Newcastle for me to try to tell you
anything about a canon, admiral?'
Mrs. Oldberg would whimsically in
quire. To this he would jOkingly an
swer: mo, indeed. I'm afraid that
here is a type of canon l know moth
ing about. My cannon is spelled with
two ms, you know, and though it some
times sings and often repeats, it GER
tainly isn't fit for drawing-roOm use.'

Hen Made Good.

The telegraph messenger at Ashland,

Union News, is familiar with the prin-
ciple embodied in Elbert Hubbard's
story, "a Message to Garcia" although
this will probably be his first intima-
tion that such story was ever writ
ten.
A local cOnfectioner called for a mes
senger to go out to a farmhouse for
two dozen eggs. Gerald was detailed
for the errand, which ordinarily would
consume thirty minutes. At the end
of three hours he returned with the
eggs, and was promptly called on the
carpet by the manager to explain his
long absence from the Office. In a round
Irish brogue Gerald explained that the
farmer had only twenty-three eggs, and
he had waited two and One-half hours
for a Plymouth Rock hen to lay the

THROUGH THE NEEDLES EYE
hieh Man Admitted II Was Hard to

Sitting at his big desk in the office
OF the Thornton Manufacturing COM
pany, Mr.. William Thornton was die
tating letters when the name of Rev.
Dr. Cotton, the minister of the church
he attended, was brought in. Mr..
Thornton dismissed the stenOgrapher
and told the boy to show the clergy
man in.
When Doctor Cotton came in, Mr..
Thornton greeted him cordially, but he
secretly wondered what had brought
the good doctor there so early in the
morning.

hour of the day, Mr.. Thornton" he
said, but [ have just come from the

in the eye and answered, 81 will stop
coming whenever you wish it, Will
liam. Do you want me to stop coming
when you are amply able to help in
such cases?"
Mr.. Thornton thought a minute, and
then replied warmly, "NO, doctor,
