Not long ago i read in a French

while studying in detail the conduct
of the Spanish-American war, had
been particularly impressed by the eN-

which they rendered the regular troops.

GERMAN SAYINGS IN PRAISE OF THE
GERMAN NATIONAL BEVERAGE.

new generation has come on the scene since
tho Introduction of beer into the United States;
ard although there are beer saloons where one
never hears q word Of German. and where
neither furniture, decoration nor general ar
rangement suggests the German style, there are
other places where beer has developed German
"Gemiithlichket," and there the enterprisihs
dispenser of beer has helped to promote the
foreign atmosphere by furnishing his place III Ola
German style. There are few large cities III IN"
limited States where one cannot find an Alt
Deutsche Rerstube. Hardwood tables, benches
and chairs deliberately carved. showing gro
.esque heads or devices In which the grape or
barrel are conspicuous massive shelves orna-
mented with old-fashioned drinking mugs ana
panelled walls covered with pictures in which
Bacchus and Gambrnus are the central ngures'

had been transported whole from across the
ocean. and justify the expression: Grad vie IN
Deutscbland-allb but the beer" Afavorite decora-
tion in these places consists Of Nolkssagen and
Srrichv;;rter which are painted in scrolls on the
walls These sayings all refer to beer and their
general tone is a mixture of gross humor. sacr-
Ieee and veneration-for beer. Occasionally one
sees the old motto about wine, woman ana song
but more prominence is given to newer verses
which embrace every theme, from the scolding
mother-in-law to the Angel Gabriel-alway avs
with a reference to beer or song or life In the
beer hall.
Many of these verses are written In pro-
vincial German not to be translated, ana lose
their force and humor when they are rendered
into proper German. No one who has not
breathed the real kneipe atmosphere can fully
appreciate the legend which is painted in Gothic
letters over the door Of uptown bierstube:
"I.eber die Gure'l gesprengt

While this inscription gives the drinker cour-
age TO do his best toward depicting the hosts
stock the next motto shows that the beer Is
cold for profit not for fun:
while your money lasts you are welcome here;
When it's gone-no more beer"
Some of the inscriptions on the same walls
and they are about the same in every bierstube
are:
Dust makes thirst; and. man being dust
Day and night drink he must
"On judgment day II will appear,
