The Question of Gratitude

Shakespeare spoke no greater truth than when he addressed ngratitude as "a marble hearted tiend. for there is no element in any person makeup as low as ingratitude Even the unintel- ligent animal will manifest his grati- tude for kindness shown to it. and dare an intelligent person do less? The eX- pression of gratitude for fayors or kindnesses received naturally encour ages further favors and kindnesses
 If We take an inventory of the bless ings received at the hands of the Al mighty during the past year and stop to think of those We are anticipating the coming year We would he inErati- tude personilied if We did not render thanks to God.

He was an imposing figure in our
ranks He had the most magnificent
beard I have ever seen, which he re-
Egiously kept parted in the middle, al
lowing it to billow down each side of
his chest in two huge rolls.
Another interesting figure was an
Italian, who, if all accounts were true
had lived wonderful life. One fea-
ture about him that marked him out
as an object of envy was his abund-
ance Of cash. Regularly every month
he received f400, paid through the
hands Of a high papal official in
Rome. often wondered what had
happened to him to require such elab-
GUS treatment
| mystery in the Legion, by a long way.
| Another whom the vail partially en-
veloped was Colonel ELLINGTON, the
| man who has so nobly won back his
| laurels in the field.
| I happened to be present when Col
| Ellington arrived in our midst AT
| that time he was in command of a
company Of friendly Greeks which
later formed the nucleus of the
Greek regiment in the Legion.
| At the outbreak of the war some
difficulty was experienced in dispos-
/ ing of the German and Austrian
| members of the Foreign Legion. Lat
terly it was decided not to allow any
Legionaries of those nationalities to
| fight on the Western front
This decision was rigidily adhered
| to, only one departure being made
from it in the case of a former men,
Der of the Prussian Guard, who, ow-
| ing to special circumstances, was al
| lowed to fight in the French trenches,
| That he well deserved the trust
| that was placed in him he proved by
meeting death valiantly after a hot
| fight when caught with some Of his
comrades in a hopeless psition.
Alas, that is the fate that has be-
fallen too many of the Foreign Le-
gion. In four short months alone my
own regiment dwind1ed from almost
| 1000 to 1000, and the English regi-
ment Of the Legion was wiped out
! entirely almost at the outbreak OF
| hostilities.
But the soldiers Of the Legion have
| always sought adventure, and I am
| quite convinced that none Of them
would think of flinching for a mo-
ment from the last great adventure
of ALL I am proud to have been
their comrade when they were alive,
and as long as I live will treasure
their memory and the memory OF
those still in the fighting line, though
| I have ceased to be soldier Of the
Legion.

What mad whim seized the man
don't know, hut one night while sta
toned in part of the trenches by
himself he proceeded in a. ringing
voice to recite shakespeare in Ger
man He will never be nearer shak-
ing hands with Death again, for a
Ifiercely-agitated French sentry rush
ed up, prepared to shoot on sight,
and thoroughly convinced that the
hated Germans had gained an entry
into our trenches.
| Like all gentAENen Of fortune De
tG1oick WAS an ardent lover Of the
fair sex. He seemed to rival even
the men Of the sea, for he contracted,
| a new affair of the heart in every
town to which his wandering feet led
him. Tt would not have been so bad
| df he hadn't brought away, with him
! a photograph Of every little girl that
made an impression on his fluttering
heart.
These photos threatened to make
EDe Hoick's life a burden to him, not
on account of the number and weight
of them alone, though that was seri-
GUS enough, but because he was so
simple and romantic that he consid-
cred it his bounden duty to embrace
each photo fervently before he went
into action. De Eoick 40 his devo-
tions was a sight worth gong miles
to see.
Another man who was a never-fail-
ing source of wonder to me was
Father Uhnn, little dried-up wisp
Of a man, who could neither read nor
write, but was a postmaster In all
the various branches Of work con-
nected with the regiment. Father
Uh1in had seen twenty years ser
vice with the Foreign Legion.
In his own line Father Uhlin was
a marvel. I have never seen anything
to equal his aptitude at procuring
something fror, a place which appar-
entity contained nothing. Let the
lcountry we were passing through be
ever so famine stricken to appear
lance Father Uhlin could magically
Iproduce form its. nhospitaib1e surface
food and drink for the best and in
abundance.
Perhaps it was his tongue that
worked the miracle! The man had
reduced the cursing of avaricious
peasants to a science. In two min
lutes he could reduce them to awe
stricken obedience and all the time
he'd he cursing in a variety Of Ian
|guage and dialects and in a manner
THAT was simply appalling. Nothing
but twenty years continuous prao-
tice could account for such a state
of proficiency.
On other little trick Father Uhlin
had which puzzled me sorely He
scould efface himself, disappear, van
ish entirely in a manner that was alb
solutely uncanny. If you were talk
ing to him you had only to turn your
back and by the time you had turned
again he was gone.
L never discovered how he did it,
though I asked him often enough to
let me into the secret, but he always
refused.
Then there was Sergeant Morino
who had four medals and had been in
27 campaigns. He had retired from
the Legion and was the manager of g
cinema theatre when the war broke
out, but his love of fighting and in
tense hatred of the Germans COMPEL
ed him to reioin AGAIN.

Auto IntOxicatiOn
or Food Poisoning

Kidney Disease and Auto-Intoxica
tion will be the subject of J. C. Ell
lott s lecture at First Methodist
church tonight at 1870 Man s most
vulnerable point is least guarded from
the assaults of disease. The kidneys
are the most delicate organs of the
whole body, yet they must eliminate
the most deadly pOisons of the whole
body. This is the cause of the fearful
death rate from kidney diseases. SO
delicate is the construction of the kid
ney for the elimination of the deadly
uric acid that the scientist says this
small organ weighing only four ounces
has fifteen miles of sewage When we
have a surplus of the heavy foods, es-
pecially meats and cheese, we increase
the amount of uric acid so largely that
we literally burn up the sewage of the
kidneys. The kidney shrivcls or dries
up and we have a stoppage of the wa
ter that should be eliminated from
the kidneys. This is called Brights Dis
ease. This may be caused from other
sources, certain fevers and other dis
eases, sometimes burn out this delicate
sewage The kidney has been called
the deaf and dumb organ of the body
because it never gives warning of its
abuse. When it strikes, it strikes like
"a German submarine without warming.

Must Reside On Land
After Money Is Loaned

When Geo. c. Vaughn of Tillamook
county, asked the state land board for
a loan of $1,000 from the rural credits
fund he stated that he was not living
on the land he proposed to mortgage
for that amount but that if the loan
was approved he would move onto it at
-once. This was a new angle for the
land board and the question of whether
or not it could be done was put up to
the attorney general.
After looking into the law on the mat
ter, the attorney general gave it as his
opinion that the board was authorized
to approve of such loan in that a per
son does not actually have to be resid-
ing on the land to be mortgaged at the
time the loan is made. The portion of
the law on which this opinion is based
reads as follows:
"The applicant although not residing
on the lands offered as security at the
time of making the application, will
reside thereon as soon as the loan is
made and the loan will be made for the
purpose of adding to the value of the
land as q farm home in equipping it in
a way to increase its productivity

Concerning the payment of death

death issued by the military depart
mont is satisfactory proof for the pay
ment of claims.
