Here is the story of how Great Britain's only Eskimo soldier fell in j France. John Shiwak was the hero's j name and when the great war started j he heard the call in far-off Labrador j and before many months had gone by j he was in an English training camp. | Some weeks later he was on his way ! to France, full of ardor. His death j occurred in the Cambrai tank drive, j The tanks were held up by the canal j before Masnieres and John's company j L i was ordered to rush a narrow briars i that had unaccountably been left stand- j ing. John, chief sniper for the bat- j talion, lately promoted to lance corporal, the muscular man of the wilds, outpaced his comrades. The battalion still argue which was the first to reach the bridge, John or another. But John reached the height of the little arcb aiid turned to wave his companions on. It was a deadly corner of the battle rnu ^ ri/vMrv%Artn nfo hroath. irunl. me unmauo, piauivu ? ui ing space by the obstacle of,the canal, were rallying. Big shells were drojv I ping everywhere, scores of machine guns were barking across the narrow line of protecting water. And just j beyond the bridgehead, *in among th? trees, the enemy had erected platforms in tiers, bearing machine guns. As John stood, his helmet awry, his mouth open in shouts of encouragement unheard amid 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 as he lay rhey saw his hand point ahead. And th i he lay still. And they passed him on the bridge, lying straight and peaceful, gone to a better hunting ground than he had ever anticipated. LANDMARKJN CITY OF PENN Many Philadelphia Citizens Would Deeply Regret the Passing of Famous Old Alehouse. Some Philadelphians of sentimental and convivial turn are disposed to re gard the possible advent of prohibition with gloomy mien, if for no other reason than because it would mean the passing of 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 McGlllan in 1870 does not count for much in a city where many taverns can trace a direct lineage from the clays of Penn. It is rather the garment of tradition with which the old taproom has covered itself. It was there that this and that heavyweight signed articles for an immortal bout. It was there that politicians 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 inspiration whirh chaneed him from a bo? hemian hack to a successful author. Over it all "Mother" McGillan presided with a discipline at once gentle and stern. The brawls; were rare. The Old Ale House 1st no less a landmark than a sight The visitor is usually taken there in the early after noon, ana wnue ne Bips me aie irom his mag 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 century, but that is as far as an attempt at atmosphere has been made.

It will be remembered that Charlemagne, having put aside bis first wife, Desiderius' daughter, took up the quarrel of Pope Aririnn T with the Lombard monarch, and after marching an army across I the Alps, captured the erstwhile fa| ther-in-Iaw's capital city, Ticinum, j and took the vanquished rulft* back ! to France, where he died in captivity. "Montdidier is attractively situated on an eminence on the banks of the river Don. It is the capital of an arrondissement in the department of the Somme, and is 62 miles north of . Paris by rail, and 23 miles southeast of Amiens. Its chief industries be-. fore the war were tanneries and the manufacture of zinc-white. "When the tides of war finally recede it is probable that the three buildings in which the citizens of Montdidier took the greatest pride will be crumbling ruins. These are the church of St Pierre, which was built before Columbus set sail on his voyage of discovery, and which contains a tomb and font of the eleventh century; the church of St. Sepulchre, a fifteenth century edifice, and the Palais de Justice, formerly the city castle. In the last named building visitors before the war were snown sii uuuauanji some Brussels tapestries of the seventeenth century. ? These were undoubtedly removed before the Germans entered the city. "Montdidier's most famous son was Parmentier, the scientist, who gave impetus to the culture of the potato f in France. A statue erected here com memorates his gift to the nation. {| "For a number of years this little j*" city was governed by its own lords, then passed under the dominion of the ? counts of Crepy and Valois. In the twelfth century it became a posses^ sion of the French crown and received a charter of liberties. In 1636 It of- J 1 ?3 ? .*,,1 ?I ierea a ganant aou sucteseiui icoioi ance to the Spanish invaders." On account of the absence of the' pastor there will no preaching at Aveleigh church next Sunday.
