The Two He's Played Since He's Been in Vermont. From The New York World, Montpelier, Dewey played a joke on three mountain. eers yesterday. When the special train reached Jonesville a stop of three minutes was made. Mountaineers and farmers who had ridden miles to get a glimpse of the admiral, stood at respectful distance, At the car door appeared S.

R. president of the New York Central railroad, and Dr. W. Seward Webb. Perhaps ten rods in front of the main crowd stood three lank mountaineers.

Noticing these men the admiral smiled, and nodding his head in the direction of Mr. Calloway said: "Allow me to present Admiral Dewey. I know you will all be glad to shake his hand." For a moment the men made no move; then the one addressed replied: "Golly, he ain't no admiral. They ain't any of you fellers fighters no more' you're green pumpkins. You can't fool us.

Gente, we know an admiral when we see one, if we be woodchoppers." Roars of laughter came from the car platform. Last night George Goodwin Dewey, the admiral's son; Liedtenant Brumby, his flag officer, and two members of the party, took a hand at practical joking. At midnight they went guard line of the first regiment and asked for Adjutant General Theodore S. Peck, They were told that the general was at the hotel. "Tell him" said one of the men "that the admiral presents his compliments and is sorry that the general is not in." It was dark and the guard could hardly see the men, In an instance he was off with the news.

Five minutes later light blinked in the tents, drums rolled and the entire regement was turned out in full parade, while the band sleepily tooted, "Hail to the Chief." This morning the admiral was told of the joke by his son. "A good one," he said. "I'll carry it out for you, George." So when he met General Peck he told the crestfallen officer that he was very sorry that he was not in. "You know," be said, "I'm apt to take midnight strools, and the call was entirely informal." General Peck tried to explain that he was seldom absent from the camp, and then rushed off to spread the story. When Governor Smith asked the asked the admiral's Chinese cook a.s to the battle of Manila, the latter gave this vivid description: upee bay, admiral mukee upee downee, quick.

Bly and bly, shootee go big gunse, bumee, bumee. Admiral say go aheadee, glid by any old timee. Then bangee, bangee. Puff. Muchee smokee, lot noises, Spanish fieet go hellee.

Alle done." Don't forget that when you need a suit no matter what you want you can get one very cheap at the Globe,.
