he beard the call In fur-..nr Labrador
and before many month h,i,J Bne by

! Some weeks later he wan on Ills w:.y

The tanks were held hy the canal

was ordered to rush a narrow bridge
that had unaccountably been left stand-

outpaced ma comrades. The battalion

beyond the bridgebend, la among the
trees, the enemy bad erected plat

As John stood, his helmet awry, bis

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

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.

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.
