On shore. were the Spanish army. to
be held in check until troops could ar-
rive from America. and insurgent forc-
es with wild and passionate eagerness
to execute vengeance upon their op-
prcsois bv tire and sword and rapine.
The sole responsibility for the control
of this situation rested with Commo-
.lore Dewey. Foreign admirals were
kept within bounds by firmness which
meant force. The Spanish army sur-
rendered. Commissioned to capture a
fleet. he had conquered an empire for
his country.
The victory of Admiral Dewey has a
far wider significance than the heroism
of the fight. it opened a new chapter
in the history of the United States. The
lifting of the cloud of battlesmoke from
the waters of‘ Manila bay revealed a
new and potential power in the affairs
.if the world. The class which gradu-
ates here next June enters upon a larg-

Pride in one‘s state is like wife for
the old homstead. The absorbing
duties of his later life and tremendous
events in which he has been so distlnv

of Dewey from Vermont. His heart
has bcen ever full of the simple lives
and homely virtues of this staid old
New England commonwealth. Her soil
might not yield as rich returns to the
hiisbaudman as the prairie farms of the
west. but her marble and granite have
lll'dys furnished tombstones for her

a time i bought a lot of turnips for a
government snagboat on one of the
interior waterwnyo. and. visiting it not
long afterward. was surprised to find
lemon pie being served out to all hands
for dinner. i ate a piece myself. and.
flihough it was delicious. i felt it my
duty to roll down the steward for
sqitanderlng government funds.
" ‘Where. did you get the lemons for
those pies?" I ask aternly.
‘ 'You sent 'cm up with the others.

" ‘Wliy, I didn't send anything except
turnim.‘ I said in surprise.
" 'Well. that's what them pies is
made of.‘ he admitted relminntly. The
men didn't like turnip-a no other way.
