"HELLO  DEWEY."
(UHOLB SAM TO GEOROB)
Following Is Joe Kerr's (Manville D. Kerr)
welcome verse to Dewey, recited in the Admiral's presence at the smoker for the marines at
the Waldorf-Astoria hotel on the evening of
September SO, 1899, by Co), Stewart, the Yankee
comedian, attired in the character of TJnole
Sam;
Hello, Dewey;—have a seat.
How're th' boys?  An' how's th' fleet?
Little weary?—Never mind.
You oan rest when you're inolined;
Rest on Laurels, if you please,
On a hero's couoh of eaga;
Not, however, till we've had
Chance to show you that we're glad:
Glad you're not now with the dead-
Glad you had a level head-
Glad you laid the Spaniard ibw—
Glad you proved a noble foe-
Glad you kept your record clean—
Glad we made you a marine;
Glad you bravely fought and won—
Glad for evety thing you've done;
Glad?  By gad, we're glad, my lad,
That George Dewey had a dad;
Glad he had a mother, who,
Loyal to Red, "White and Blue-
Years ago when he was young-
Taught him how to,—rung by rung,—
Mount Fame's ladder—never stop,
Till, by grit, he gained the topi
Taught him, when he'd won the flght,
How to stay there, on tho height.
Glad to see you, George, but—say
Don't get spoiled on Dewey day;
Don't get "rattled" at the noise,
Made by millions of my boys;
Most of whom would "lead tbe dance"
If, like you, they had the chance.
Words like these all men admire:
"Gridley, when you're ready, flre."
Keep that up,—keep cool, my lad,
We'll raise Cain because we're glad.
You just "watch our smoke," my boy.
Note our overwhelming joy;
Don't get dizzy—calm content
Sometimes makes a president.
Hear that shouting, prolonged, loud?
George, th' whole darnednntion'sproudr
Proud ot what you did that day
In Manilla's beastly bay.
Proud of you, proud of a fleet
That knows no fear—knows no defeat.
Of whom the wide world stands in awe,
God bless you, George, hip, hip, hurrah.

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
The Fire Fiend Destroys Nearly
All The Buildings on A. J.
Doherty's Big Stock
Farm,
About nine o'clock Friday evening
fire was discovered in tbe cow barn on
A. J. Doberty's farm four and one-
half miles south of Clare, and tho every possible effort was put forth to
check it, it was all in vain, and all
that was saved on the west side of tbe
road was the house and one horse
barn. The wind Was from tbe west
and at one time it was thot the house
would be consumed also, but tbo badly
damaged, it was saved. The entire
loss will reach $18,000, and Mr, Doherty carried $11,000 insurance on
buildings, stock, implements, grain,
etc.    '
Nearly the -entire product of tbe
farm,—hay, grain, besides implements, one tborobred bull, several
calyes  and eighteen hogs—was con
sumed. Thetbreshers were to have
been there the next day.
Just how tbe fire originated will
probably never be definitely known
but it is supposed tbat it was unintentionally, or thru carlessness. set on
flre. The insurance agent is expected
here today to adjust tbe loss. The
risk was carried by the Continental
Insurance Co., 0. H. Olark, agent,
The fact tbat Mr. Doherty is already getting material on the grounds
to lebulld shows his energetical
make-up.
