LITTLE CRAY NUN
RAISES REGIMENT
Gathers Force of Representa-
tiVeS From Every Race on
on New York East Side.

NEW YORK. April 90. - A little
gray nun has brought out of the
melting pot of New York's east side
a regiment Of soldiers ready TO give
their services and lives If need be TO
the United States.
Sister Marianne Of Jesus is moth
err" of four companies Of Columbus
Volunteers" Italians, Syrians, Rus
slams, Jews and youths from every
race that goes 10 make up that great
cosmopolitan population of the east
side are members Of her troop"
Twice a week for more than a year
they have heard from the lips of
Sister Marianne OF Jesus of the debt
Of gratitude and honor they owe TO
the United States, and the soft
spoken little nun has instilled in
them spirited patriotism.
AS mother superior Of the Insti-
tute of Christian Doctrine, Sister
Marianne was quick to recognize
the need for military training among
the youth of the east side. The ma
tional guard made no appeal to these
boys, few Of them went TO school
and none Of them could afford to
join organizations which might give
them military training.
So Sister Marianne took il upon
herself TO stand sponsor for the mill
tary training of these east side boys
and 10 instili in them the spirit of
loyalty to their country which
would make them ready 10 offer
their services TO their government
when the time of need came.
Funds for the equipment Of the
troops were slow in coming. Tn
daunted. Sister Marianne went on
with her work of organization and
secured a drill master. There was
no drill hall, but this did not per-
pick the nun. In the main hall of
the institute. where saints smiled
down from their little shrines on the
wall, the embryo soldiers were gath
cred for drill.
Maj. zen. Organ of the New
York national guard was finally in
terested in the endeavor of the sis
ter of charity, and through his aid
and the persistent work of Sister
Marianne and her associate sisters
there were finally funds sufficient TO
equip the troop with uniforms, rifles
and banners. IL was "A proud day
for Sister Marianne when she stood
on the steps Of the institute and
"her regiment" went marching by
i'm a blaze OF khaki and brass, each
soldier saluting with the colors
dipped to the mother of the regl-
ment."
After year of training the boys
are ready" Sister Marianne says.
With war clouds hanging over the
nation this quiet little woman, who
traces her Americanism back to the
revolutionary days, feels confident
that every boy in her regiment will
do his duty by his cOuntry-and it's
an adopted country for most of
them.
Some OF the boys have already
spoken to me about joining the
Roosevelt brigade" Sister Marianne
said. but 1 do not think they have
decided how they shall offer their
services. They are all poor boys.
whose families need their wages up.
10 the last moment, but when that
moment comes they will volunteer
for the duration Of the war"
And she smiles when they call her
Mother of the Regiment'-thisli lit

Jesus.

Calling the court to open he
asked the cop what all the commo-

me up on the witness stand, where

Then the whole police court be-

had come straight from his bed

when she brought her story-books
and pointed out the pictures to
Joey. and told him all the things
which had happened in the stories.
But this day. although it was the
end of September, was specially
hot. and Joey felt feyerish. and he
did not care for Flossie's stories.

Joey was a little boy who lived
about quarter of mile away. He
was the son of the head gardener.
Flossie and he were playmates.
Joey was nice boy. He often
brought her a wild birds egg and
in the blackberry season quantities
of the largest and ripest berries.
But a week ago he had fallen from
a tree when trying to catch SOUR

A GOLDEN APPLE

1t was a golden and red apple
and Flossie stood under the tree
and looked at it with longing eyes.
Her lips were within just a few
inches of it, and her own golden
hair touched it as she moved up
and down. She wanted the apple
with a longing which she had no
words to express, but not for her.
self.
There was not soul in sight;
the orchard was empty. On the
ground were several apples, and
Flossie might have helped herself
to any of them, but none was so
whole and perfect as this. Some
were damaged in their fall, others
had been pecked by the birds, some
were scarcely ripe; but this apple
on a branch which hung low from
the old apple tree was perfect.
But the home order was that
when the children entered the or
chard they might eat one or two OF
the windfalls, but they were never
to pick any of the fruit from the
trees.
