Of her grace Of character and give her nothing In
return but masculine boldness and efrontery"

J Joseph G. Pelletier, who presided at the
Roxbury meeting just referred to, lis a
Canadian Roman Catholic, who, since COM

is now serving as district attorney in Bos-

, G. Catheron, who has just been appointed
chief probation officer in the county in
which Boston, Massachusetts,, is situated
! His objection to Catheron Is that he opposes
the Roman Catholic hierarchy. The entire
board Of probation officers-seven in all
were Roman Catholics until Catheron was
appointed and now there are six Romanists
to the one patriot on the probation board.
