It has come sooner than the most hope ful expected, says the Kansas City Star. ’ Admiral Dewey would be much interest ed in the accounts of his naval career as served up in the dime novel. In these stories Dewey is only a hero of the sec ond magnitude. The real hero is a boy who does positively wonderful things. One of these Dewey dime novels is entitled “Itewey’s Cabin Boy; or The Hero of the (Fleet, a Story of the Great Battle in Ma nila Bay." I'he first page illustration shows Jack— that's the young hero—na-ading a cup of coffee to the admiral, who is as spick and span as if here were on his way to a naval station hop. A short distance away a Spanish cruiser is firing a broadside at him. while in the middle distance two Spanish cruisers are burning like Fourth of July bonfires. Between the Olympia and the Spanish fleet the bay is covered with fountains where the shells from the Spanish guns have fallen short and* are kicking up the water. Jack has just sunk a Spanish ship or two from the fighting top of the flagship. He had gone there against the admiral's or ders. and when the gunners were over come he took charge of things and plunked a hot shot in the right place. As he hands the admiral his fighting stimulant the grim warrior looked at him with amazement in his handsome face, for the lieutenant bad just told him that he was the jn<> who had destroyed the crew of the Spanish ship which was going down. On the first page are vignettes of Dewey and Frank Starr, the hero, and a small ■picture of Jack tossing a burly’ Spanish sailor into the air. The story gives the details of the battle of Manila with a free dom and particularity that no newspaper has been able to do. Perhaps, howeve-. this is the fruit of the author’s imagina tion. Here is a description of the hero: Jack Starr, was the son of a poor widow up in Vermont, the home of the commo dore. He was but 14 years old when he first went to sea with the commodore, a small, slender, blue-eyed lad, who loved the commodore as a father and believed him to be the greatest captain who ever sailed a ship. He grew stronger until how he was tanned like an old salt and as familiar with the ship as the oldest tar afloat.” The sailor talk in the story so savors of the salt sea that it actually makes one thirsty. "Shiver my hulk, messmates," says the old bo s'in, "but here’s everlasting friend ship for Jack to the last shot in the lock er!" Here is another situation and a bit of dialogue to show the wonderful familiarity of the author with the Spanish language:’ "Jack and the bo's’in went ashore to gether, and after roaming -about the city for some time, the latter went into a sa loon for grog, leaving Jack waiting for him outside. The youth stood apart, gat ing at people passing in a quiet way, when two Spanish sailors came reeling by, both being the worse for liquor. "Recognizing his nationality by hi* uni form, the Spaniards stopped and leered at him, and one said to the other: < arasnba! here's an American.' “ 'Diablosf hissed the other. 'ye§! Run into the pirate, mate!’ and he made a rush at Jack, who sprang aside to let him pass. The sailor nearly fell but recoverd himself and rushed at him again, aiming a vicious blow at his face. "Jack dodged him again.” ‘He knew they were Spaniards from the word* ’caramba" and ’diablos' they used ” There are other dime novels in the baok ; stalls, many more on the preasts and a ' host being penned. Os ihe Sampson stories, one of the most ‘ thrilling is entitled "Young Bob Sampson J or. Afloat With the Fighting Admiral. ' It i tells the weird adventures ot aa orphan boy who was moved by the wrong.-, of the , Cubans to enlist in the navy. He ha 1 just been refused by the recruiting officer when he met a colonel in the army. *ho wa- a 1 clerk in a gun store the last time Bob met him. The colonel is on a dangerous m*- sion and orders the recruitng officer to ac cept Bob. There is a pretty girl in the story named Nettie Browning, who worships B b in a perfectly maiden way. Ob, it’s just glorious! 'Well, Bob meets the admiral and th<y discuss the coincidence of name It hasn't come out yet, but it is a sugar-coated pill to cannon balls that Bob is the admiral's lost nephew. The last thing before th? brutal “con tinued in our next" comes an exciting epi sode in which Bob, having taken the admi ral s glass, sees a shell coming directly toward Sampson from a Spanish battleship. Bob drags the admiral back in time to save his life. This incident entirely escaped the newspapers. A picture an the first page of the installment of the story shows the im mense power of Bob, for he has the admi ral off his feet by a mere touch of i.is right hand. In the picture the admiral has on his white gloves, and, very properly, is dressed to kill. Admiral Sampson appears in another thrilling story called “Yankee Doodle With Admiral Sampson’s Fleet; or. Scouting f or the Admiral.” This is probably the warm est story in the lot, for the hero meets and falls in love with Senorlta Inez, v. ho re turns his regard. But ill these stories must be read to be thoroughly appreciated —no mere description is id <|u.ate And, after reading them one will have more de tails —rich, warm details—of the war th in he would ever get in reading th • a :-ount Os more eyewitnesses. Certain newspaper correspondents in f 'iii‘.a are maligning the American army. It is ‘impossible that men so ’brave as the Aitnericans should hold the Cubans in ni'h scorn as these correspondents pretend the soldiers do. For three years the Cu k»ns have held at bay the army that even AUlerie.'ins had to fight hard to defeat. For many years they have suffered starvation and torture uneonquered. That they are worn out with the struggle may be ex pected. That they are hungry is natural. Trained to regard all great Powers with suspicion, it is not surprising that they should view with alarm the awful majesty of (American arms and be fearful lest the fruits of their long strife be lost. Instead of scorn they deserve pity and encourage ment. (Americans must take into consid eration the tropical nature of t'he Cubans. They wrong them if they insist upon them displaying the vigor of the Anglo-Saxon. Major T. O. Summers, the yellow fever expert, says acetate, of ammonia and tea from watermelon seed and orange leaves will be needed to treat yellow fever at Santiago. The acelate be can buy, and the orange leaves he can get in Cuba, but let him say the word and Georgia can furnish a ton of melon seed, and bales of lemon grass. The scientist who recognises the value of these “old woman remedies” in yellow fever, is truly the iwise physician. “What would you do if we interfered with t'he bombardment of Manila.” said the German admiral, Diedrichs’ to Captain Chichester, of the ißrltish ship in the bay. “Only Admiral Dewey and myself know that,” was answered from the quarter deck of the Immortalie. ’•Null sed. "General Peter Tracy, of (Memphis, en joys the distinction,” says the Chicago Chronicle, “of being a com in of Dewey and the uncle of Hobson.” “For the purpose of settling the war in demnity Spain.” says the Chicago Record, “will probably >be obliged to make islands legal tender.” “Ti e war,” says the Indianapolis Jour nal. "has completi'd the work of recon ciliation so nobly ‘begun by the Georgia watermelon.” in arl ab I llencne. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, Hl., makes the statement that she caught cold which settled on her lungs: she was treat ed for a month by her family physician but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her drug gist suggested Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefltted from the first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found herself sound and well; now does her own house work and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this great Discovery at H. J.

Give New York a Chance. Did Boston have her Revolutionary tea party told in every school history? So did New York when out Sons of Liberty, as sembling without disguise, boldly boarded the British tea ship London and dumped 18 chests of the hated tea into the salt wa ters off what is now Battery park. The Boston massacre is often spoken of as the first bloodshed of the Revolution, but it was "antedated nearly a month and a half by New York’s battle of Golden Hill, wherein at least one patriot of New York city lost his life defending a liberty pole that stood on what is now City Hall park from the assaults of the soldiers of King George, . Did Boston have a Paul Revere? New York more than matches him in Marinus Willett capturing almost single handed the guns which a British regiment were car rying off to use against the patriots assem bling in New England, and the act of Wil lett far outranks in picturesque heroism the story told in verse by Longfellow. Frau nee's tavern, still standing at the. cor ner of Broad and Pearl streets, in thia city, where the Sons of Liberty plotted in dependence and where after independence had been won Washington delivered his famous farewell address, easily ranks with Old South church and Faneuil hall as a •pot sacred to the lover of his country.— New York Teachers’ Quarterly.
