J. 6REENWALD
ENTERTAINS
On Eve of His Departure for His
Old Home on a Visit After
Many Years Absence
John Creenwald, an old-limer
who is on his way to visit his old
home in Russia, pave his many
friends a smoker last evening in
Moose hall, which was well at
tended by all the old sourdoughs
and a few of I he chechaco ele
ment. Of course the boys were
all there, for they wished to bid
their old-time trail companion a
happy and pleasant mush over the
wet trail he hag lo follow. After
an introductory 8pev?ch by Arthur
Lang, Ed. Hunt danced a buck and
wing which was well received.
The host sang folklore songs in
his native tongue, followed by a
bout between Al. Dowling and
Charley Bush, which created much
interest. A. H. Pinkus rendered
a number of solo* on the piano,
after which the company passed
a pleasant evening at cards. Re
freshments and smoking material
were always at hand. The even
ing's entertainment wound up
with many Clod speeds to the host
of the evening.
Where Heroes Come From.
An analysis of Ihe Carn«?gie ho
ro fund commission's report, dat
ed January 31, 1912, shows these
figures on the total number of
awards made since the fund be
came operative April 15, 190'4:
Total number of awards, 583.
Awarded to wage workers, 406.
Awarded to students and school
boys, 92.
Awarded to business men, 33.
Awarded to professional men,
21.
Awarded to women and girls,
31.
It Is doubtless true that the
notable proportion of awards to
wage workors was duo mainly to
the fact that they are engaged In
the hazardous occupations which
fcive more frequent opportunity
for the display of heroism.
Bui the fact remains that when
Ihe opportunity arose, the men
[>f the dinner pail brigade were not
found wanting, but were ready to
make tho supreme sacrifice.
