At tho uamo time, Blrsky, In my Judgmont none of them countries up to date haa got away with a clean enough victory to hang out no much as a rod flannel undorshlrt over." "But you also got to admit that tho Ger mans mado a big victory of It there in tho North Sea, Zapp," Blrsky said. "Woll," Zapp said, "tho way victories is worked nowadays, Blrsky, a man has got to bo a victory oxport to toll ono, when ho sees It, but as I understand tho matter, when tho Kaiser got tho nowa over tho phone, Blrsky, ho wasn't so tickled over It neither." " I couldn't hear a word you say,' ho said, becausa tho volco at tho other end of tho wlro seemed Indistinct ns of somo ono sponklng through hair. " 'Llston, Boss,' the volco rays, 'It's mo, von Tlrplti. Could you como over for a little whllo?' " 'What's tho matter now?' tho Kalsor says. "'Well, I don't llko to toll you ovor tho phone,' von Tlrplta says, and tho Kaiser puts on his hat and coat. "'Ea fehlt ntir tioci,' ho says to his wife.

"'How could I get back from WIlhelmB haven for lunch?" tho Kaiser says. "'And I was going to have somo real tripe,' sho says, breaking Into tenrs. 'The first meat wo'vo had slnco Bhovuos.' . "'There, thero, It can't bo helped,' tho Kalsor sayo, Jumping Into his machlno, and when ho gets out at VlIholmshaven, a little crowd is standing round a feller In an ad miral's uniform, who Is laying exhausted In a chair. " 'Don't gather round him llko that,' tho Kaiser says. 'Give, him air.' " 'I did glvo him air,' von Tlrpltz says, 'I fanned him and I fnnned him.' " 'Did you try mathcmntla spirits of am monia?' the Kaiser asks. " 'Listen!' von Tirpltz says to tho crowd. 'Did I try mathematlo spirits of ammonlal Ho's full from ammonia like nn artificial lea plant.' So tho Kalsor leans ovor tho admiral and shakos him by tho shoulder. "'Now quit that trembling and tell us about tho victory,' ho says, and aftor a whllo tho admiral pulls himself together. " 'Wo won, ho says. 'Wo won by twenty miles.' "And tho Kaiser says: 'Woll,' ha Bays, give tho school children a holiday nnd tell von Itoventlow to announco that wo sunk six English battleships of tho Im class, two battleships of tho Urn class nnd ono super dreadnought of tho In class.' "'And how many cruisers, torpedo boats and destroyers should ho say wo sunk?1 von Tlrplta asks. "'Lot him uso hid own discretion,' tha Kaiser says, and so noon as von Itoventlow hears that ho has a free hand, ho goes to work and sinks tho Shark, tho Haddock, the BluofUh, tho Mnatjes Herring, tho Ap petltsltd and ten other crulsors of tho Fish class, nnd from 21-A to 41-A of torpedo boats In tho Party Wlro class." "You are Judging this hero sea fight from what the English Is giving out," Blrsky commented. "Oter a Stuck," Zapp declnrcd. "I am Judging It according to the Law of Proba bilities, which means that If two parties toll different stories about the snmo Oesohichte, Blrsky, tho chances Is a hun dred to ono thnt they nro both lying.

A Rainbow Birthday Party Described by ESTHER MILLBR, Itoxborough. I want to tell you about Bud's birthday party. Ho is just 6 years old. Mamma and Aunt Edith had the rooms decorated In crepe paper, all the colors of the rainbow. In the parlor they had strips of tho colors slightly rolled from (he four corners ot the room to tho light In the centre of the room, and a small American flag directly under the chandelier. They draped a large American flag llko a curtain between the dining room and parlor, and then the dining room was decorated the same. They had different colors hanging from the light, right over tho centre of the table, and the streamer separated the little guests. There were 19 guests beside my Aunt Alma, from Cheltenham, and mamma's Aunt Rae, from Roxborough. Bud received many pretty presents. Tho guests all went homo happy, for they all said they nil had a dandy time.
