It was the Yankee historian, an army officer during tho World wur who first brought to light the facts of Admiral Schcur's amazing stra- lcTy and tactics in a monograph, "A True Account of the Battle of JutIund.'

 Captain lfrothingham has called attention 10 the remarkable fact hat the German admiral had thus voluntarily placed his fleet again in the same position from which hc had once withdrawn. Admiral Schcer has since said that this move in attack, which brought & lesser German tore" against one which Lord Sydenham has de- scrihed as "27 Of the finest hattle- ships in the world" was intended as a surprise blow to upset British plans and to facilitate the German fleet breaking loose to get back to its base at night, The admiralty narrative says that Admiral Scheers motives "shoud be accepted with reserve. His intention was more probably to sip past the rear Of the British fleet and make for home"

 Mungle. the Thingum and the Zum- | zee.
 They were following the crooked legged man and the Snickle to the mans new house where he had taken Mrs. Mingle's magic cupboard and the magical hobby horse. It was very easy to follow the crooked legged man and the Snickle | for they never once suspected that our friends had found the magic door which led out of the mans strange little house.
 "Ha! Raggedy Ann and Mrs. Mingle and their friends will never get out of my house!" the crooked legged man laughed to the Snickle. For they can never find the little magic door which leads down to the brook!"
 And we shall have the magic cup board all for our very own!" the Snickle laughed. II could eat lot of cream puffs right now if I had some!"
 "Ha! Then we will go right to my house and get some out of the magic cupboard the crooked legged man said.
 In a short time the two came to the new house of the crooked legged man and went inside. So Raggedy Andy held up his rag hand for his friends to stop.
 We will slip up quietly to the door!" Raggedy Andy said. Then when hold up my hands. we must all rush inside the house and surprise the crooked legged man and the Snickle."
 So all, walking upon their tiptoes slipped up to the crooked mans house and stood waiting for Raggedy Andy to give the signal for them all to rush inside.
 But just as Raggedy Andy was about to lift his hand as signal, the door flew open and the crooked leg eed man and the Snickle came flying out, turning head over heels as they came.

os HEALTH-- BE CAREFUL OF WATER

Be careful of the water you drink on your weekend or vacation trips during the summer months!
 Such was the warning 10 Mir. Mann and other residents of Anytown.
 While most running streams are likely to be free from pollution. and while most springs are pretty safe bet, still 1t is wise to inquire regard ing the water in any district.
 Wherever the slightest suspicion obtains in out-of-the-way places, water may be boiled with but little trouble.
 Typhoid and other fever ravages

 Pure water is easily obtainable in most sections. but where far-away spots are reached by auto, the gam ble is not always q good one. The ounce of precaution that lies in boil ing the water is certainly better than the inroads of fever epidemic.
 A small quantity of chlorinated lime will help kill germs that may be living in water. but for safety's sake it is better to build fire and kill the germs and get rid of the impuri- ties through boiling.

 My heart sank clear to my feet. Had Alice really made good her threat and killed herself?
 She certainly had not. Instead she had gotten hold of Karl Whitney and they had been married late in the afternoon and left for New York.
 Just what Alice told Karl cannot imagine, but I know him we'll enough to know that whatever she told him, if she threw herself upon his pitying CnlNalry, ne WOulu uU dHylHlllS Sue asked him.
 The clipping from the paper read:
 Late yesterday afternoon Miss Alice Hamilton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Graves Hamilton was married to MT. Karl Whitney very quietly. It will be remembered that Mir. Whitney and Miss Hamilton issued invitations to a large we'd ding week or two ago, but owing to the sudden illness of Miss Hamil- tons father the invitations were re- called.
 "The young people were married at the rectory of the Church of the Epiphany, and evidently have gone out of town for day or two. For moment Mir. Whitney was seen as they were leaving the rectory, and he said that the hurried marriage was decided upon yesterday for although MT. Hamilton was gaining daily, 1t would be quite a while before

 "The wedding of MT. Whitney and Miss Hamilton unites two of the largest fortunes in Pittsburgh. Mir. Hamilton is one of the great steel magnates of the world, and Karl Whitney was the heir to not only his fathers immense fortune but those of his two uncles. He is reputed to be worth sixty million.
