AUGUST 1 fl m HOVV ESKIMO SOLDIERljfrdlVnNSJQHT TO CHARACTER , Bravely Fighting In France for Lib. rtyj Hit People Should Bo Proud of Him. v nere In tlio story of bmv fironf Brit alo only Eskimo soldier Ml la k h ranee. John Sklwak was the hero's j name and when the great war started he beard the call In fur-..nr Labrador and before many month h,i,J Bne by ; he was In an English training camp. ! Some weeks later he wan on Ills w:.y ' to France, full of ardor. His death . occurred to the. Cambrel tank drive. The tanks were held hy the canal ' before Masnleres and John's company was ordered to rush a narrow bridge that had unaccountably been left stand- . iuK.. John, chief sniper for the bat talion, lately promoted to luneo cor porul, the muscular man of the wilds, outpaced ma comrades. The battalion still argue which was the Hrst to reach ; tne bridge. John or another. But John - Pufinll,.,! till, ltz.li.Vi - a ... ..... . ............ ,ivr,i;uL or me unto arch and turned to wave Ids companions it was a aeadiy corner of the buttle .'front. The Germans, granted a hre.nh. Ung space by the obstacle of the canal, ; were rallying. Big shells were drop, ping everywhere, scores of, uineh'iie Runs were harking across the narrow . line of protecting water. And Just beyond the bridgebend, la among the trees, the enemy bad erected plat forms In tiers, bearing machine guns. As John stood, his helmet awry, bis ( mouth open In shcuts of encourage ment unheard nmld the din, the deadly group of guns broke loose. That was why the bridge had been left. The Eskimo swayed, bent a little, then slowly sank. But even ns he lay they saw his hand point ahead. And . then he lny still. And they passed hlra on the bridge, lying straight and , peaceful, gone to n better hunting ground than he had ever nntlelpated. i LANDMARK IN CITY. OF PENN many Philadelphia Citizens Would t Deeply Regret the Passing of ' I Famoui Old Alehouse. Some Phlladclphians of sentimental and convivial turn nre disposed to re gard the possible advent of prohibi tion with gloomy mien, if for no other reason than because It would mean the passing ot the Old Ale House, on Drury street near Thirteenth. It Is not age that gives flavor to the Old Ale House. The legend on the rusty signboard which states that It was established by Mary McGIUan In - 1870 does not count for much In a city where many taverns can trnee a direct lineage from the days of I'enn. It is rather the garment of tradition with which the old taproom has cov ered Itself. It. was there that this and that heavyweight signed articles for an Im mortal bout. It was there Hint- nnli. tlclans hatched a celebrated deal about .which .newspaper editorials are still being written and public speeches still being made. It was there that many a young genius found the Inspi ration which changed him from n bo hemian back to a successful author. Over it nil "Mother" McGllhin pre sided with a discipline at once gentle and stern. The brawls were rare. The Old Ale House Is no less a land mark than a sight. The visitor is usu ally taken there In the early after noon, and while he sips the ale from his mug the attentive guide recounts the history, adding a line or two from personal reminiscences. The Ale House seems to fit all moods and to attract a variety of minds. It Is furnished in mission wood after the fashion of the, English inns of the eighteenth cen tury, but thut Is as far as an attempt at atmosphere has been made. 1 . Wartime Nerves. As the war progresses to Its finish. which will come some glad day, per haps even nearer than is now expect ed, the strain upon those who await its outcome with the most intense anx iety dally becomes more difficult to stand. The tense situation encour ages the development of a stale of mind which Is harassing, and one which, if not checked, must ultimately result in a more or less serious col lapse nfter such loug-continued pres sure. Great restraint of natural Im pulses ' toward over-exclteineut con cerning the wnr Is essential as well to the Individual as to the national well-being. Americans must keep their heads cool and their bodies strong in order to do their full duty In this great emergency. They must not give way to feelings of despondency when temporary discouragements to the ud vnnce of the cause occur, nor should (hoy become too sanguine of immedi ate success when the news comes of a decided advantage. The untroubled and serene mind Is to be sedulously cultivated in these stirring times. the Bellman. Tallow Dips In Denmark. Denmark has a lighting problem so serious that the Danish gMveriunent recently purchased 400 tons of tallow Crom which to make candles. Com mercial Agent Normal L. Anderson re ports from Copenhagen.
