Giorgio Polacco's brilliancy as re-

Judge by story told by Algernon st.
John Brenon. Mr.. Polacco was ap-
preached on one occasion by a Milan
csc agent offering him an engagement
at Lisbon. Mr.. Polacco named GER

gagement, however, fell through, as
Mr.. Polacco had to go elsewhere. The
next season the same agent asked Mr..
Polacco his terms again and for the
same city. Mr.. Polacco named them
The agent, acting with a certain celer
ity, asked Mr.. Polacco to sign Their

Polacco took his contract home to his

folded it up and looked straight at hei
husband. "Giorgio," she said, very

HOW FRENCH YOUTHS DIED
Boys Of Great Military School Of st.
cyr Worthy Of Its Best
Traditions.

There were many stories OF
the boys of the senior class of the mill
tary school st. Cyr, who took, the day
of the beginning of the war, an oath
to put on gala dress, white gloves and
a red, white and blue plume, when
they had the honor to receive the first
order to charge.
They did il, too Theatrical? Isn't
it just splendidly boyish? They did it,
you see The first of them to die, a
young sublieutenant, was found after
ward, his red, white and blue plume
trampled in the mud, his brave white
gloves stained with his own hot young
blood. Another Of those st. Cyr boys,
shot In the face hideously and unable
to speak. stood still under fire and
wrote his orders to his men. 1t was
his first day under fire.
A boy fell injured between the
barbed wire in front OF his trench and

so many tragedies. His comrades
afraid of hitting him, stopped firing.

NOTES FROM THE ALEXANDRIA

On last Wednesday evening the
Scrubs" played the Regulars" a
very exciting game of indoor base
ball at the club gymnasium, in which
game the Regulars" were Ivicto-
rious. The score was to in favor
of the Regulars" The Scrubs"
played a very fast game, and at one
time it looked as if they were about
to put one over on the Regulars, :"
but the artillery for the Regulars"
came up just in time to save the day.
Pitcher Paul Malone worked for the
Scrubs" while pitcher MCGUIRE did
the hurting for the Regulars. AL
though Malone had never worked in
the box before, he did excellent
work, and the prospects look bright
for his becoming an extra pitcher on
the Regulars"
Quite a few of the members are
on vacttions now, and are spending
most of their idle time at the club
making improvements around the
gymnasium. A baseball diamond has
been lined off and painted so that
practice games can be held without
any difficulty The swinging rings
have been lowered and strength
ened, and other gymnastic apparatus
is being put in fine shape for the
coming winter. Thanks to these
members who are taking such an &C
tive interest in the clubs welfare
Three or four new members were
taken in during the past week, ant
the club is rapidly growing.
The swimming tank still holds it
own, and is a big drawing card TO
the club. Preparations to repair tn
diving board are under way. and /
is believed that when this board 1
repaired it will be one of the hes
diving boards in the city.

No Fear Of Error.

Rev. Alfred Noon, patriarch OF the
Sons of Temperance, said in Lunen-
burg:
I'm glad to see that England, as re-
CARDS her beer, has followed the ex-
ample of Russia with her vodka and
France with her absinthe.
English beer-over here we call 1t
porter, stout or ale-is very strong
and insidious. II makes men slaves.
There's a story on this head story
about young man who used to take
his beer out OF his own pewter mug.
He said to the barmaid one day:
Always give me my beer In my
own mug. Never any other. Make no
mistake
"'Oh, no fear Of making any mis-
take about your mug. sir said the
barmaid.
MOP said the young man.

HEALTH A PATRIOTIC DUTY
Pamphlet Urges Every Citizen to Join
an Organized War on
Disease.

In pamphlet entitled Fighting
Trim" issued by the United States
public health service, Surgeon j. NJ.
Eager lays stress upon personal en-
deavor of every individual as of the
highest public importance in the or
ganiZed war against disease. The
wonderful victories that have been
won in combating infectious maladies
have had tendency to divert popular
attention from the equally important
personal fortification against diseases
Of all kinds. The question of prepared
ness against onslaughts of the enc
my, a query prominent in the minds
Of everyone in these days of warfare.
is put in special personal bearing as
relating to the dangers threatened by
disease, the permanent enemy Of
mankind
Are you personally prepared, it is
asked. for the hand-to-hand encounter
with disease that you are sure to be
forced into sooner or later or in which
perhaps you are already engaged? Un-
less you are willing to succumb with
out a struggle, fight you must. no mat
ter how feeble your fighting proclivi'
ties are. The inevitability of the bat
tie against disease is strongly insist
ed upon.
In the defense against disease two
things are necessary-a systematic
union Of fighters, the sanitary organi
cation. and personal preparedness, the
product of intelligent and diligent per
sonal hygiene. Personal prepared
ness is the patriotic duty of every citi
zen as an aid to national sanitary de
tense. No man as a member Of so
ciety is morally free to live unhy
CHEMICALLY or to acquire diseas'
through lack of personal care. Lik
slovenly soldier, the person VIII
neglects his health risks imparting t,
others his loose morale, or even trans
hitting disease to the whole commur
ity.

Unique lightshlp.

on the Island of Islay, on the west
coast of Scotland, there is stationed,
at the Otter Rock, a unique lightship.
II is unnamed; yet 1t can be relied
on to display the warning light to
guide the mariner on this dangerous
coast. It is a most ingeniously con-
structed vessel and the only one OF
its kind. In its two steel tanks a
sufficient quantity Of gas can be stored
to supply the lantern for several
months.
Experiments have shown that the
light may be depended upon to burn
continuously for months at a time.
The approximate duration Of the light
can be predetermined, and there Is no
danger whatever of its being extin-
guished by wind or spray.
The light is visible at distance OF
from eight to twelve miles. The light
shin also has a bell, which Is made
to ring automatically by means OF an
ingenious device that utilities the gas
as It passes from the tanks to the
lantern to work the bell clapper.
