;sri CONDENSED STORIES. CONDENSED STORIES. 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. Mosts Had Changsd. 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. Bostonians tell a story concerning the remark of Oliver Wendell Holmes when ho wga first shown the Lincoln statue In Boston. Beneath that statue and on the granite basy 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. iprried his widow.” — New York Bogus Bohemlanlam.

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 Truth. _____ The Usual Way.
