After some search a policeman was found

scare them, for none Of the automobilists
cared to go to Falkenau the next day to
testify against the offenders.
Seeking an explanation for the wrath of
the villagers, Mr.. Byrne learned that an
automobilist a few hours earlier In the

GREAT NAVAL BATTLE
9 Days Fight Results in Prac-
teal Destruction of Russian
Fleet.

The long expected battle between the
Russian and japanese fleets in the far
East began in the Straits of Korea on
Saturday afternoon, May q, and con-
tinued for two days, with frequent night
attacks by torpedo boats on the Russian
ships OF Rojestvensky's eight big battle
ships six were sunk and two captured, the
cruisers were all sunk or captured, except
one, and all the smaller crafts, Golfers,
&c, went to the bottom or fell into the
hands Of the japanese, except five boats,
which escaped to Vladivostok The Rus
sian Admiral, Rojestvensky, was wounded
and taken prisoner He is now in Jap
anese hospital, with a wound in the head
Besides the loss of ships the Russians
lost about 5000 mem, 600 captured
and 4, 600 killed or drowned.
The japanese loss was five torpedo boats
and about 1000 men killed, wounded OF
drowned None of Togo larger ships
was damaged sufficiently to put it out Of
action.
The battle was the greatest sea fight OF
modern times. The fleets were not evenly
matched. Russia's was an untried force
Japan> was a seasoned and experienced
force. While the japanese victory will
eventually end in the total destruction OIL
capture of the Russian fleet, the success
was not as complete as was Schley's at
Santiago or Deweys at Manila.

Letter to Prof s Simpson
Westminster, MARYLAND

Dear Sir: The usual way TO buy paint is
to take the lowest price by the gallon. Mis-
take; the buyer loses by it; how much De-
ponds on the paint; it is 50 much gallon, or
so much year. How much gallon or year,
do YOU Think As much perhaps, as the total
price of the paint. 1t may take Twice the
number of gallons.
n Avery, Delhi, N Y, owns two houses,
both exactly alike He painted one with
Devoe and one with another paint Devoe 6
gallons; the other II.
Go by the name Devoe. There's nothing
cheaper. Go by the price; there's nothing
dearer, except not painting at all. Poor paint
is better than none.
What does it cost not to paint at all? Cant
figure it out exactly; say tenth Of the build
ing a year, besides looks.
What is poor paint worth, then? DOM
know and don't care; you don't want it, &c
by the name.
Yours truly
