Yorktown was also the scene of considerable
activity at one period during the Civil war
When General Mcclellan began the Peninsular
campaign April 4, 1862, he found Yorktown for
titled and a line drawn from the town across
the peninsula to the mouth of the Warwick
river Gen. ]. B. Magruder, in command of the
Confederate forces, had hardly more than 11OOC
men in ALL of whom 5000 were at Yorktown
General Mcclellan, who very much overest-
mated the Confederate forces, awaited rein
forcements and began seige operations. At the
end of the month Mcclellan had in position 115,
900 men while Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, who had
assumed command of the Confederate forces on
April II, had hardly more than $4,000 men on
the peninsula. Just as Mcclellan was ready tc
open fire. General Johnston withdrew May 3.
His rear guard was ovsrtaken near Williams
burg on May s. and an tndecisive battle waS
fought.
Yorktown is the county seat of York county,
Virginia, and is situated about 70 miles south
east of Richmond, on the York river. Although
one of the oldest and most historic towns in the
country Yorktown has never attained the prom

founders had prophesied for it, and today 1t has

Dew Ponds In Great Britain.

Among the most singular archaeological re-
mains found in Great Britain are the ancient
dew ponds, the construction of which is as
scribed to the neolithic age. The purpose OF
these ponds was to furnish drinking water for
cattle. An exposed position where springs were
absent selected and broad, beloved sur
face was formed and covered over with straw
or some other non-conducting material. Above
was spread a thick layer of clay strewn with
stones. During the night the cold surface OF
the clay caused an abundance Of moisture to
condense from lower layers of the air. Some
Of these anciet dew ponds are still working.

RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
ItChed So He Could Not Sleep

con July 81, 1909, we left Boston for
trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
few days nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form Of a
rash and was all over babys body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
srritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
it developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change Of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and 1t used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep, He was COM
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind Of Disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura

But before he could take one step
toward redeeming his word to Rut-

In the hut, Rutton lay dead of poison;
