One Encounter in Which Ho Cot
Hnilly nrsttvd.
Letter In Xevv York Sun.
The following anecdote of Commo
dore Dewey may be Inteiestlug at this
time:
Kaily In the fifties, when Dewey was
a boy, Major '.. K. Pangbotn, now a
resident of Xevv Jersey und for thirty
jeais editor of tho Dvenlng Journal of
Jersey City, being then fresh from
college, undeitook the management of
a dlstilct school at Montpeller, Vt.
The school had been In rebellion for a
long time, und the boy Dewey was tho
leader of tho antl-tcacher brigade.
Seveial pievlous teat heis had been "le
moved," ono had been stood upon his
head In a snowbank, nnd it was gener
ally said at Montpeller that nobody
could govern that school.
When Mr. Pangboin appealed at
school the Hi st day of the session he
noticed Dewey up a tiee throwing
Htnnes nt Bmull bnvs. lie told him
quietly that he must stop that. Tho
reply was that the teacher could "go
to" tho place teserved for a certain
class of depaited mortals, and Dewey
did not come down. School went very
smoothly that day, but there weie In
dications that showed the teacher that
trouble was coming. So he piovided
himself with a nice lawhldo whip,
which ho tucked away over tho door,
and then pluced seveial pleees of good
hickory on top of tho pile In the old
woodbox.
Next day the fun began. Another
boy vim wan disorderly was told to
tako his scat. He did ho, and peven
of tho big boys Joined him on his
bench. Thou Dowoy sfpped up nnd

ing that he had ever had."
'Go to our seat!" commanded the
teacher, who wns not so big a "man"
phvsically ns either of the bojs men
tinned. Dewey struck out, nnd tho next In
stant the rawhide was plajlng catch-,
and-go-all over him. The other "blg
gist boj" cnteied the fight, nnd was
ptomptlv lab' low with a blow fiom
one of the hlekoiy sticks. Dewey was,
bv this time, lying upon the ilooi,
howling for quits." and tho other bor
lay near him uneoii'-clous. The rebel
lion was over, and Mr. Pangboin had
no fin titer tti.uble with thnt school.
He took Dewey home to his fether,
and leniittetl that he had btousht him
his son, "mini what the worse for wear,
but ready for school work."
'Thank 011" replied Dr. D"wey. 'I
gues (Jemg'j will not give you any
mote tiouble. Ho will be nt school to
mortow." The father of the other boy tiled to
get a wan ant for the arrest of the
schoolmaster, but there was not r. mag
istrate in tho county who would Is-uo
one. They said thnt if anybody had
been found who could govern that
school, he was tho man for the place.
Young Dewev lemalned nt school.
He boon became a good scholai, and,
under his fiiend's tuition, fitted for the
Annapolis academy. Ycaib after these
events he wns wont to visit Major
Pangboin at his home In Hoston, wheie
the fanner teacher .is editor of the
old Atlas and Heu. On one of these
visits he said to him: '1 shall never
cease to be giatoful to jou. You made
a man of me. Hut for that thrashing
you gave me 1 should ptobably now
be In the slate pilson." Dewey was at
this time a joung lieutenant lr the
navy nnd a chum ot Major Pangbotn's
bt other, who was also a oung naval
olllcer. The two spent much time at
Major Pnngboin's home, nnd he al
ways speaks of Dewey as "one of his
bovs," and Is natuiullv very proud of
him.
This little anecdote shows that It
often happens that the worst boy In
school may be made the best boy, and
that It does not follow because a boy
needs n thrashing that he needs mmo
than one, provided It be well done and
at the light time It Is not on recoid
that the commodore has ever been
beaten since, or that ho has ever been
known to light In a bad cause,
