0 1 DMIRAL DEWEY, head of the
J/L United States navy, has an espe-
cial reason for feeling in a fes
tive mood during the merry Yule
tide season. It brings him
double holiday. Not merely, you
mm und( rstand, the dual celebrations
of Christmas and New Year's day,
but another one besides. The
planation of surprise of red let
ter days in the admiral's calendar
at this season of the year is found in the circum-
stance that the birthday anniversary of the hero
of Manila bay occurred on December 2G. the da)
after Christmas. Moreover, the Admiral's friends
make as much of the birthday anniversary
they do of the general holiday that Just pre

is the holiday of gifts. If he had any say in the
matter it is doubtful if ho would change things,
for he has found that far from being overshad-
owed by the more generally observed holiday, as
many persons might expect, his holiday actually
takes on an extra significance by reason of close
proximity to the general holiday.
For one thing it affords Admiral Dewey excep-
tional opportunities to seo old friends, and the
has
admiral is a man of strong friendships 1
since his return from the Philippines he
made his home at Washington—which is the com-
mon headquarters for retired as well as active
officers of the service. And those officers who do
not live there make it a rendezvous, particularly
at holiday seasons, and thus it comes about that
there were in the capital at Christmas week an
exceptional number of friends and acquaintances
of the admiral—officers who served
with him in the Pacific and else*
where. Of course they called up< n
him on his birthday and he met
them at social functions during the
week.
As for the admiral himself, he

his celebration of ills birthday anni-
versary. On that day, as on every
other, he devotes a good share of
the late afternoon to a long carriage
drive, probably handling the reins
himrelf. F< rmerly the admiral in-
dulged in a horseback ride as his
daily outing, but with advancing
years ho has almost abandoned this
ftrenuous exrrcise. In addition to
his dally ride he is wont to walk
nmre or less each day, walking to
anil from his office nt the Navy De-
partment Annex building and in this
walk, on his birthday, he had as his
companion his only son. regard-

UNIFORMS IN THE NAVY
Both the officers and the crews of the older
navies used to dress pretty much as they
pleaded. In Nelson's time an attempt was made
to get the officers arrayed with some sort of
ijstem. but the sailors wore whatever they could
get hold of
That the dominant colors in dress in the Brit-
ish navy (and resulting In the navies of other
countries) were determined by a woman's In-
fluence Is shown in English records. The Hon
John Forbes, admiral of the fleet, said
"Adverting to the establishment of naval uni-
forms. I was summoned to attend the duke of
Bedford and. being Introduoed into an apart-
ment surrounded with various dresses my
opinion was asked as to the most appropriate.
I said red and blue, as they were our national
colors.
" 'No,' replied his grace, 'the king (George II.)
lias determined otherwise, for having seen my
duchess riding in the park a few days ago in
a habit of blue faced with white the drt
bis majesty's fan^y, who has appoiuted it for the
uniform of tie royal navy'"
While wearirg a uniform himself Nelson was
Jealous in guarding against further encroach-
ments on the sailor's prerogntive in the matter
of dress About the time of the French revo
lutlou epaulets bepan to bo worn in continental
navies; at first only on one shoulder, according
to the offlcer'H rank In 1783 Nelson, while in
France, wrote to his father:
"Two noble English captains am here Thej
wear fine epaulets, for which 1 think them
great coxcombs. You may suppose I hold them
a little cheap for putting on any part of a
Frenchman's uniform "
It was only a few years after this, however,
that Nel on himself was wearing an epaulet, not
only on a single shoulder, but on both.
In the United States navy uniforms were pre-
pcribed from the outset but with the very wise
clause, inserted as a parentl esis, "if they can he
procured." By a resolution of the continental
board of admiralty captains were to have a coat
of blue cloth with red lapels, slashed cuffs, a
stand up collar, fiat yellow button-', blue breeches
and a red waistcoat with yellow lace.

GOT HIS SOBRIQUET EARLY
"Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right
to the Title Long Before
Manhood.
There have been many stories about
the manner in which "Honest John"
to a new York letter, holds that it
came to him naturally, for even as a
small hoy the purity of Ills soul shone
through his face. "I think the first
time I was ever called 'Honest John'
was win n I was quite a youngster,"
ambulatory salesman of tinware ob-
served the ingenuous countenance I
presented to the world and hailed me.
'You look honest, hoy,' said he. 'What
might your name ho?' 'John,' said I,
quite simply. 'John'- Just like that,
the saloon ami got a drink,' said he.
And so I held liis horse while he went
In the saloon and got a drink. Hut
this was on lower Ninth avenue, in a
day when the avenue's honors weM
to the man who could clean the most
cops In a given time. By and by the
pang came along and beheld that
wagon lull of tinware. The peddler
was detained within by a sore thirst,
and the> took the tinware. And then
tliev came hack and took the cush-
ions off the wagon. Eventually, be-
coming daring, they unhitched the
wag( n and took it away. True to my
trm t, I stood there, holding the horse.
And by and by the peddler came out
of the saloon and sized up the situa-
tion. •Well,' said he warmly, 'you're
Honest John, all right. You saved the
horse.' "
They Both Knew.
The fool said one day In the king's
presence, "I am the king!" And the
king laughed, lor he knew that his fool
was wrong
A week later the king was angry, be-
cause of an error he had committed,
ind < xclaimed: "I am a fool!" And the
fool laughed, for he knew that his
king was right.—Smart Set.

"I liked my coffee strong and I
drank it strong," says a Pennsylvania
woman, telling a good story, "and al-
though I had headaches nearly every
day I just would not believe there
was any connection between the two.
I had weak and heavy spells and pal-
pitation of the heart, too, and al-
though husband told me he thought it
j was the coffee that made me so poor-
ly. and did not drink it himself for he
said it did not agree with him, yet I
loved my coffee and thought I Just
couldn't do without it.
"One day a friend called at my
home—that was a year ago I spoke
ahout how well she was looking and
she said:
" 'Yes, and I feel well, too. It's he-
cause I am drinking Postum In place
of ordinary coffee.'
"I said, 'What is Postum?'
"Then she told me how It was a
food drink and how much better she
felt since using it In place of coffee or
tea. o I sent to the store and bought
a package and when it was made ac
cording to directions it was so good
