MY BOY’S EYES.
I’v read of the light in a lover's eyes,
Of the glow of the setting sun.
Of the silver moon and the twinkling
stars,
When the long, busy day Is done.
But never a light in sky nor on sea.
Nor of sun, moon and stars in one,
Like the wonderful light in my boy’s
eyes,
So brimful of mischievous fun!
Those roguish brown eyes, with a I
glint of gold,
! Lashes a beauty might envy,
I Demurely cast down for a moments
tho't.
To flash upward at some memTy!
The soft peach glow on his dear baby
cheek—
Tiny dimples that come and go,
Vouchsafe, dear God, I may ever keep
This treasure that Thou didst bestow!
—Annabelle Dennison MacOonnell. ]

TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 20. — Am
erican Lake, where has been estab
lished Camp Lewis, for the training of
many thousands of soldiers of the new
"Liberty Army." is In a section rich
In historic lore.
American lake Is one of several
lakes in an expanse of level country )
between Puget Sound and the foothills
of the Cascade mountains, to the south
of Tacoma. This section is known as
American prairie, the name given to
it at the first Fourth of July celebra
tion on the Pacific coast In 1841. Up
to that time It was known as Mission
ary prairie. The celebration Is said
to have been the first prearranged pat
riotic observance west of the Missis
sippi river.
There were not many whites in this
section up to 1841. Fort Nlsqually
was maintained as a Hudson’s Bay
Company post through the early part
of tiro last century and up to 1870. It
was at this fort that Captain Charles
Wilkes arrived with two schooners
early in 1841. This was part of an ex
pedition on scientific research, author
ized by congressional act of May 18,
1856. Under Instructions several ves
sels proceeded Into southern waters,
and later two schooners, the Vin
cennes and the Porpoise, voyaged
along the California coast and the Pa
cific northwest section, in the spring
of 1841 they entered Puget Sound.
it seems to have been purely
a scientific expedition, and the sev
eral scientists along operated with
Fort Nlsqually as their base.
As the Fourth of July was coming
along, arrangements wero made for
observing the day, and this included
a barbecue and program of sports, par
ticipated In by marines and the friend
ly Indians. This celebration took
place at the head of lake Sequalit
chew, near old Fort Nlsqually. It
was on this occasion that Captain
Wilkes and a small party walked over
to the adjoining lake, and while this
lake had no important work in the
celebration, he named it American.
Up to this time the lake bore the name
of Spootsylth, which suggests the un
canny reputation it bore among the
Indians. They would for some super
Btitlous reason never bathe in the
lake. Americans are not given to that
feeling, and do so with impunity.
Among the early residents there was
some dispute as to how Wilkes came
to name the lake “American.’’ The
reason appears obvious, but some re
counted the fact that Dr. J. P. Rich

Silken when he named the lake. Mrs
Richmond's first name was America.
*nd some have contended the captain
gallantly applied it.
Anyhow. It became American Lake,
*nd American Prairie.
A modest monument marks the spot
if the celebration. The historians sup
posed they knew this exact spot up
to eleven years ago, but to make cer
aln, Stuglmas Koquilton, an aged In
llan, was one day taken out. and while!
many changes In vegetation had taken
place since he saw it forty years be
fore. he fixed the spot In a different
location, and there the monument was (
unveiled slxty-flve years after the I
celebration.
The town of Stellacoom, about five
miles from American Lake, Is the old
est town on Puget Sound. A mile to
the east are remnants of the old bar
racks of Fort Stellacoom. where In
their day Grant and Sherman served
as young officers, long before tj»e
Civil war.

AMERICAN FIELD HEADQ'WR
TERR, France. 8ept. 18. — "Hey, ina
dame! Nix on that, Bee vo play"
That's our American soldier speaking
French. "Pas throwez dishwater In
the front yards. C'est tras non bon. ■
Premiere thing you know there'll be !•
tres flies buzzing around and then j:
we’ll all be mort a la t&phoid."
A soldier from the states Is stand- •:
Ing In the doorway of the little white- •:
washed French cottage, whera he j
makes hts home during the training •;
period, and Madame, her dripping j
dlshpan held under her arm. Is begin
ning to understand.
From his lingo she gathers that i
throwing dish water Into the dooryard ■:
is one of the little things one doesn't ■:
do In America. The soldier takes the :•
dlshpan from her. walks to the edge •:
of the street and goes through mo- ;•
tions of pouring its contents into the
gutter.
“Company vouz?” he asks, hopeful- •:
ly. “Company. Yourez vous dishwa- :•
ter Into el guttero." He absorbed •:
some Spanish on the border. “Ah! •;
Oul, oui,” says madam, as the light ::
of full comprehension spreads over ?
her weatherbeaten face. “Verree
good.”
The quick and resourceful efficiency :j
of the American soldier has over
thrown many customs in these little i;
French villages. The Americans •:
threw themselves Into the valley :
towns all in a bunch. Details of sol
dlers cleared up the streets and since :
that day It has been everyone's duty '
to keep them clean.
Cleanliness came in the extreme de- J
gree — and came to stay. Whitewash
buckets appeared and the Bmudgy
gray of old whitewash smiled anew
In the brilliant Bunllght. And sanita
tion came to the barn yard.
rtiiogeiuer uitj villages were not
much worse than some American farm
villages. But they were not up to
the army health standards until the
soldiers made them so. The French
people have given the American boys
a welcome such as no foreign troops
ever before received in this country.
The American soldier Is saluted in
grave military fashion by every
French youngster along the road. And
he salutes back.
The floppy-hatted "Chasseurs"
(chasers) — the French regiment that
la helping to train the Americans —
has learned the meaning of "put 'er
second,” and before long the French
and Americans wilt be playing com
petitlve ball.
On the other hand the American
soldier has a speaking acquaintance
with the waitress at the village hotel.
When he drops in during the evening
and asks for "trois hard boiled oofs,
avec pain et choloah. toot-Bweet,” she
comes back with a smiling “Sure,
Mike,” and brings in the desired nour
ishment plenty quick.
