Tru* Version of Oewty't Femout I
Order at Manila Bay. Joaquin Miller’s Story of the Colonel'e
Inherited Title.
Dili Admiral Dewey'ever give the i
now Iiiatorii-al order. “You may fire
when you are ready, Gridlcy ?” In- I
teforted rpectutora of (he engage
ment say that those words were nev
er spoken, but the sentence was ar
ranged after the fight was over. The
inside facts regarding the great May
day battle of ISOS put a new light
on the incident, and one who talked
with the admiral soon after that
battle is authority for the following
veracious account:
Admiral Dewey never gave the
order, in those words at least. That
utterance was put in his mouth by
others and agreed upon as an appro
priate one to hand down to poster
ity along with the other famous say
ings of history. Soon after tbo last
shot had been fired and the Spanish
power in the Pacific was a thing of
the past the newspaper correspond
ents gathered about the admiral, as
it the custom on such occasions, to
get the facts for their dispatches.
The admiral told briefly everything
that had taken place, and when he
hod finished his recital the group
fell to discussing the events of the
day. Finally one of them remind
ed the admiral that it waa custom
ary for some famous utterance to be
handed down from every important
engagement in history; some terse,
brief expression characteristic of
the man who led hit forces to vic
tory. "Didn’t you make some ut
terance or give some order during
the fight that we can use in this
connection i” asked one of the news
paper men. "No,” replied the com
mander in chief; "nothing in par
ticular that I recollect.”
"Well, didn't you give some direc
tion of some sort that can be used
in that way?” "No," replied Dew
ey; “nothing that’i noteworthy.”
“Well, what did you «ay when you
ordered tho fray to begin?” asked
the correspondent. “Simply order
ed Captain Qridlcy to go ahead."
"Ah I” ejaculated the correspond
ents, breathing sighs of relief. And
thereupon the famous order, couch
ed in tho words which have become
known everywhere, was suggested
and agreed upon generally. Tho
subsequent disnatches wero featured
by the words then arranged and put
into the slinpo in which tho order
will appear in histories for centu
ries to come.

Visitors to Washington will recall
the bronze statuo of Abraham Lin
coln in the center of Lincoln park.
It was purchased with a fund raised
by former slaves to commemorate
their liberator. There is a replica
of the'etatue in Boston, reared by
the li^rality of Jloses Kimball.

Joaquin Miller was one of the
first investors in Texas oil well*.
Passing the question of financial
profit, these wells furnished him
with at least one good story. The
poet visited the Lone Star jiute to
inspect his property and there met
a man who answered to the title of
“colonel.” One day when* this man
and the poet were together the talk
turned to the war of secession. Mil
ter thought his companion hnd
taken part in that struggle, hut thr
colonel said he had been a noncom
batant. Then Miller mode a bob
guess that the title was derived
fro' i a militia commission. But noi
so, .’.or was it a result of an appoint
ment on tho governor'* staff. Nei
ther did it come from service dur
ing the Spanish-American trouble.
“Ah,” said Miller at last, think
ing he had tho mystery salved, “you
commanded the Texas, rangers at
one time. They were bravo men,
and it was an honor to lead them."
“No,” said the colonel, “I never
had anything to do with the
rangers.”
"Well, tell mo,” persisted Miller,
"is tho title merely assumed? Hava
you no right to it?”
"Certainly I have a right to it—
tho best kind of right,” replied the
colonel in an offended tone. "If
you muat know how I got it I’ll tell
you. I inherited it.”
"Inherited it!” ejaculated Miller.
“From whom,your father?”
"No, sir. From Colonel James
Smith, who died two years ago.
While in Canada Lord and Lady
Lansdowne pleased the Canadian
people \/y tteir friendly and unas
suming manners, which were in
marked contrast to those of former
governors general and their wives.
It is related that at a garrison ball
at Ilulifax the colonel of the regi
ment that was giving the dance
came up to Lady Lansdowne and
said: “Lady Lansdowne, won’t you
give me a dance, please? I’m tired
of dancing . with these silly little'
colonial girls. They have no style.
I believe I’m engaged to one of
them for the next dance, but you
might be kind enough to rescue
me.” Lady Lansdowne replied in
tones loud enough for everybody to
hear that the colonel was unfit to
associate with any decent peopler
colonial or otherwise, and conclud
ed, “If this is the way x you treat
your guests I will relieve you of the
presence of one of them at once.”
Then she ordered her carriage and
left the ball.

The Pope'i Wig. -
I recently saw in a newspaper a
repartee of the pope, who has a
ready wit. The following story of
him is current in Italy, where he
personally, is most popular even
among the antidericau. He has, or
is supposed to have, some nephews
who find it somewhat difficult to
extract money from him._ r The wife
of one of these nephews~Ts said to
have undertaken to get-some from
him. She solicited an interview
and, having obtained it, said: “Holy
father, I come to seek your advice.
I am poor, I have a large family,
and, alas! I am in debt. I have
been gifted by heaven with a good
voice, and the proprietor of a music
hall has offered me a large salary to
appear on his stage and sing a few
simple songs. Ought I to accept the
offsr?”
“Certainly,” replied his holiness,
“and I only regret that my official
position will not allow me to be
present at your debut.”—London

His first two songs, it is said, wers

the most popular of his pieces and

night, he found a lot of commercial
men in full possession. They greet

of them slapped him on the back

Then a chorus said: “Yes, get fun

The Taciturn Man.
Mrs. Van Yorst, the author of
“The Woman Who Toils,” had many
amusing and odd adventures during
her life os a worker. One adventure
that has not heretofore been printed
concerned u taciturn man.
She met this man on a New Eng
land road mending a worm fence.
“Can you tell me,” sho said to
him, “how far it i* from here to the
ncxi town?”
He pointed forward. “Milestone
little * further on-will tell you,” he
growled.

Vnn Worst. “But the milestone will
be no good to me, for I can’t read.”
she said.
Thereupon the taciturn mftu
chuckled a little. “Ho, ho,” he

it” '

The late Rev. Georgs Koenig, s
Brooklyn clergyman, who was rath

one of his parishioners whom he
saw with her hair profusely curled
“If the Lord intended your hair u

young lady replied saucily:
“Us did when I was a baby, but
now lam quite able to curl ft my
