MOUNTAIN CLIMBER
 DIES IN ENGLAND

LONDON, April 20.-Tne Rev. A. s. W. Young, who has just died at his home on the Thames, was the last sur yiyors of three brothers who won the attention of the world in 1866 by mak- ing the first ascent of Mont Blanc without a guide. On ;neir return they fell 2,O00 feet over precipice, one of l lem being killed but the other two escaping practically unhurt
 The three brothers Young, athletes and experienced mountaineers, an nounced their intention of climbing Mont Blanc at the most dangerous season of the year All endeayors to dissuade them failed, and in view of the great danger of the enterprise, the main streets of Chamonix were thronged with spectators and tele- scopes were much in demand.
 Towards II o'clock the three broth
 CTS were discerned, looking like pig mics, far up on the loftiest terrace of the Grand plateau, climbing with remarkable vigOr. They disappeared in the Corridor" and were lost to view for an hour, when the reap peared and were seen standing to- gether on the extreme summit of Mont Blanc They remained there for a few minutes and then commenced the descent
 Suddenly all three vanished, and an instant later they appeared 2,000 feet below One of the trio had slipped on the edge of a precipice, and the brothers. being roped together, were shot down an almost perpendicular slope of ice to a point where it joined the border of the upper glacier. Hor- ror-stricken, the watchers below pres ently saw two of the men rise to their feet, and for two and a half hours they bent over the prostrate form of the third, who seemed inert.
 Then the two, one walking with great difficulty, began the laborfous
 descent, leaving the lifeless body of their brother. It was dark before they reached the Corridor" and they did not reach a safe stopping place until about o'clock in the morning. A rescue party from Chamonix after
 ward recovered the body of the
 brother whose neck had been broken by his fall.

You've knocked around quite a bit"
 Yeah" he said.
 For a minute he was silent. He steered with skillful hand past long line of divisional lorries and straight. ened out down the long, straight paved highway. The sun was bril- liant and spring was in the air.
 "I1l bet the mosquito fleets out around Seattle today" he said, half musing.
 And when the run was over and we were all back in our billets, passed by the Nissen hut which the orderlies and chauffeurs use as a mess and sitting room. I caught a glimpse of the American driver sitting at the tin-panny piano they have there. In a syncopation so perfect that I thought at first a mechanical piano was at work, came the strains of
 "They built garden for a rose
 And they called it Dixie Land"
 Had I heard that first, the yeah" wouldn't have been a mystery, not even for two minutes.
 Sorry I cant give Kentucky's name. But you P1neville folks will probably know who I'm talking about.

HAILED FROM PINEVILLE
 BUT HAD BEEN AROUND

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN THE FIELD, March 15.-For the first two minutes my new chauffeur was a mystery to me. l could not quite place him. Then 1 pinned him down and all was quite plain. The new driver had been furnished me by the army, of course. He was taking the place of another who had paraded sick. I could see that he was lance-corporal, that he belonged to the army service corps, that he knew how to drive car, and all that. That I could see at a glance. Then I said something to him and the mystery began. He replied to me by saying:
 Yeah"
 I've heard most of the dialects of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand Newfoundland, Canada and Jamaica, and nobody from any of those coun- tries that I had ever heard talk said Yeah"
 "Where'd you come from?" I asked the new Tommy.
 q was with the Australians, suh," he said But before that?"
 q was driving a Canadian officer. !"
 50 you are a Canadian?"
 No, suh."
 How did you come to be driving a Canadian officer, then?"
 "The English loaned me to the Ca nadians."
 Did you enlist in Enslante ~,
 NO, suh. I enlisted in Canada. \
 But I thought you said you were not a Canadian"
 I'm not, suh. I only enlisted there"
 You must have been living in Can ada"
 No, suh"
 Where, then?"
 Detroit"
 Michigan"
 Yeah"
 "English?"
 No, suh. American" You don't talk like a Michigan der"
 ''Pm not a Michigander."
 What part of the States are you from?"
 Kentucky"
 q used to live close by. Were you ever in Cincinnati?"
 q should say! Do you know Vine street, Fountain square and the old Arcade?"
 Like a book. And Clifton and Av- ondale and Mount Auburn" And Coney Island, the Zoo and Chester park Were you ever in Pine ville?"
 "Pineville what?"
 "Pineville, Ky" Not that l remember"
 That's where I was born"
 How in the world did you get from Pineville, Ky, to Flanders?"
 Well, you see, I got to know some thing about motor cars and then, after ! moving around quite little-Frisco Seattle and around thataway-I headed up in Detroit. l got job in a motor ! factory there. One day a man asked me what about joining the British army It looked pretty good to me and to some others, so about a couple of dozen or so of us decided to have 1 a look. The man said to come over to Windsor-were you ever in De- troit? Windsors just across, you know, from Detroit-and he'd fix us up. This was back in 1916.
 Well, when we got over into Can ada everything was all right. We went to England and soon had our uni l forms. They didn't make us re nounce our nationality. So here I am.
 What about joining the American army, now that we are in the fight Are you thinking about getting trans. ferred?"
 'It's a lot of trouble to get trans fer, Besides, we are all right where we are. It doesn't matter which army we are in just so we are in one oi 'em, and doin' our little bit. I'm sat isfed."
