mi dxwkt bwomd
Aown in tho long and trying monthi
that followed his naval triumph the
qualities of a statesman and a wiho ad
ministrator an woll as a fighting loader
of tho victorious fleet And enhancing
these qualities was that of manly mod
esty displayed in tho qulot dignity with
which he met the occasion This trait
of Deweys oharaotcr was evidouccd
from tho moment he reached tho stand
aide by side with tho president Ho
paused at this point for a moment
apparently to tako tho place
that had been prepared for him on the
right of tho platform lest he should ap
pear to nsnrp tho place due to the chief
magistrate President MoKinloy grasped
tho situation in an instant and taking
tho great sea captain by tho arm placed
him by gentle forco in the chair that
hd bcou intended for him Later iu
the day as the carriages bearing the
official party drove away from tho
between walls of cheering people
the president again displayed his tact
by remaining covered and ignoring the
demonstration himself leaving its ac
knowledgment to the admiral alone
Trjrlnr Djr for tha Admiral
For Dewey it was a trying as well as
a triumphal day It hat been given1 to
Jew officers in tho naval history of tho
country to sit before a crowd of thou
sands while the chief of the naval es
tablishment dilated upon their exploits
and then to stand bofoie the samo crowd
to receive at the hands of the president
a sword prepared for him at the behest
of the representatives of tho whole peo
ple The strain upon Admiral Dewey
reached alnkost to the broiking point
ft ono but those nearest to him could see
how he labored to repress his feelings
during the address of Secretary Long
bat when ho arose to receive the sword
from the Hands of the president uo one
could mistake the flash of the white
gloved hand as it rose to dash away the
tears before the admiral came to the
rigid attitude of attention before his
chief
When it became Deweys turn to re
ply his voieo failed him and ho made
tho effort twice beforo his lips would
respond When he did Micceed his
tones were clear and steady but so low
that only those nearest to him could
hear
There was an exquisite bit of comedy
following tho trying formalities though
It escaped all but those directly on the
stand As tho admiral closed and took
his seat he turned to the president and
in a tone of quizzical appeal inquired
Now really dont yon think I did
pretty well for an amateur
Joy Over Schley
One of the juost remarkable features
of the eventful day was the ovation to
Bear Admiral Schley on the return of
the party from the capitol to the white
house His carriage was soveral num
bers behind that of the president and
Admiral Dewey and received an ova
tion that could scarcely be ranked below
that accorded to tho admiral himself
The tumult grew as ho carriage pro
ceeded down the avenue and the crowd
surged around it until tho horses were
brought to a foot pace Finally a com
pany of high school cadets came to the
rescue and formed about tho carriage in
sv hollow square Thai protected and

Of course the pictures are done rapid

An expert will range six or eight
canvases on a shelf that Is used In
stead of an easel aud generally has a
colored print tacked up above us copy
Then he proceeds to rapidly block In
the subject A favorite scene Is a
mountain lake with a ruined temple In
the foreground He will indicate tho
lake the sky aud the mountains with
out attempting any details and pass on
to the next canvas Iiy the time he Is
through with the last one the paint on
the first Is dry and he proceeds iu tho
same order with the trees clouds and
temple Meanwhile his helper Is put

by the time daylight wanes the row
will be done Hy this system of work

loses no time In waiting on the drying

Tlio stories that missionaries send
homo often throw n vivid light upon
the dark and savage conditions that
encompass them One of thu teachers
of thu American Hnptlst Missionary
union Iu Ills annual report tells of a
recent Incident that occurred far up
thu Kongo river among thu natives
living around the shores of Lako Turn
ha only n short distance1 south of the
big river
Early one Sunday morning as tho
missionary and his wife wero prepar
ing for the duties of tho day they
heard n shout from the lake An old
man was seen seated In n ennoo which
a number of stalwart fellows were
paddling as fast as they could toward
thu little river that carries the waters
of thu lake to the Kongo n few miles
north The old man wiia crying iu a
frantic and despairing voice
Mpebo mi Moukasa
These were the names by which thu
missionary and his wife are known to
the natives Tho old fellow called
them again and again till ho snw the
white man and his wlfo standing on
the beach Then he shouted to them
Oh come and save met They are
taking mo away to kill nnd oat me
The missionary understood tho situa
tion at once Tho place is not more
than a days travel from tho mouth
of tho great Mobangl tributary of thu
Kongo The banks of tho Mobnngl are
lined with canuibul tribes and It Is one
of thu greatest hotbeds of cannibal
ism
Explorers have often told of thu
canoes sent out from these tribes to the
districts a little south of the Kongo for
no other purpose than to buy slaves or
steal men to carry uwny to their homes
for their cannibal feasts Hero was an
old friend of the missionaries who had
fallen Into the power of these savage
forngers Not a moment wns to be
lost for thu canoe was shooting past
tho station aud rapidly approaching
tho foot of the lake
At n word from tho whlto man a
half dozen young blacks launched n
canoe in the lake and piled their pad
dles with nil their might It wns an
exciting chase Tho cannibals seeing
they were pursued redoubled their en
ergies to reach the river n few miles
north of them It wns a boat race in
dead enruest aud tho stake was a
human life
There were rIx of the pursuers and
only four of tin fugutlvo canoemen
The chasing party had a larger sum
total of muscle nnd this advantage be
gan to tell Slowly tho mlsslonnry boat
gained on the cannibals who saw at
last that they would certainly be
caught before they reached the river
Then they paddled like mnd for the
shore and the pursuers were only a
fuw boat lengths from them as they
ran their canoe up ou the beach
Tho cannibals jumped out aud three
of them made their escape Into the
woods carrying with them a consider
able quantity of brass wire the form
of money they use in buying slaves
The fourth man was made a prisoner
and was taken back to the missionary
settlement with the poor old captive
who was uow trembling with Joy as a
fuw moments before he had quaked
with feur The missionary says that If
he had not called for help he would
probably have been killed before night
The expected then happened Of
course the savages did uot relish the
Idea of returning to their people with
out auy victim and with one of their
party mlBslpg The white man felt cer
tain they would try to ransom their
comrade aud sure enough the crest
fallen man eaters after a little while
appeared within hailing distance
They had brass wire they shouted
and how much did the white man want
In exchange for their friend
He wanted nil they had and after
considerable parleying a lot of wire
wns brought half way to the station
The old man said he was sure this
wire was all his captors had In the
ennoo and lnnlly it was accepted and
the prisoner released The men prob
ably made their way as best they
could back to their tribe
The wire was worth only 4 but the
missionary says this was enough to
keep the old mau In food for over nlne
mouths aud the fair Inference Is that
the cost of living on the upper Kongo
hns been reduced to a bedrock basis
The Kongo state Is rigorously sup
pressing cannibalism us fur ns Its In
fluence extends and therefore the na
tives who Indulge In the practice no
longer dare In accorduueo with their
former custom to send large expedi
tions out to buy slaves Now nnd then
however n small party engage Iu the

smnlluess of their numbers to escape

COOKING VERSUS MORALS
Perfect Blenla Are a Savins Grace to
Jinny Men
When a man does not get the stimu
lating nourishment which his nature
craves he resorts to liquor to supply
thu want With this fact staring one
iu tlio face Is It not wise to teach that
unfailingly good food with nil the ele
ments that stimulate and nourish the
body and tho brain has Its moral ns
well as its physical benefits
There are cases on record proving
the benefits of public school cooking
where tho domestic sky has been per
fectly cleared of clouds because good
food was offered where beforo It had
been badly cooked nnd consequently
did uot properly nourish In one home

skill as a cook tho mother who had

The mother wns by no means above
turning to account some of the prac

and she begnn also to brush up her
own knowledge that she had carelessly
allowed to fall Into disuse The re
