Rev. and dear Father:
A letter from my father telling me
that you had kindly inquired for me,
together with many pleasant memo
ries, prompted this note.
Last year I enlisted in the Canadian
contingent of the British army, and
am serving in the I'D Seaford High
landers. Very, very soon now l am
going out to France, and wanted to
tell you (before / go) that over in
France one Tommy in kits realizes
the great comfort of being Catholic.
Oh, Father, it has been wonderful
experience, this proving ones man.
hood,-but it has been far more Won
derful to see Holy Mass offered up
on portable altar in an open field,
and to hear the voice of a priest, in
khaki and riding boots, giving bene-
diction to thousands of lads.
| have just spent an interesting
leave of absence in London with the
R. c. General Chaplain of the Canadian
Troops Am enclosing couple of
cards and a K. B. S. leaflet. The sol
diers are much interested in this
work.
Knowing that you realize the diff
culties of camp life, am sure of par
don for stationery and this abominable
pen.
Now l must close this note. Pray
for me, Father. And please remem-
Der that if it be Gods will that | have
to make the supreme sacrifice in
France, did so gladly and as a good
Catholic, grateful beyond words to you
who baptized me for the inspiration
that has made man at last of

REMEMBER.

Remember now, young man I pray,
Your mothers mournful prayers !:
Remember how she reared you up
With all her utmost cares.
Why would you break your mothers
heart
And bring that grievous woe
TO the dearest friend you ever had,
Who dearly loved you so?
Refrain from all your wicked ways
THAT she may happy be;
Prove to the world her sovereign
And teachings-this l plea.
If she lies silent in the grave
Or at a distance be,
Do not forsake her sacred ways,
"ris life and peace for thee.
Connect your thoughts with those
above
And be controlled below,
Remember what your mother told
you
In years have passed before.
Now will you let this linger long
Within your heart l pray,
Remember now the days gone by,
What mother used to say.

SULLY NOT IN TROUBLE

DOUGLAS, April 30-The telegram regarding doings of the Territorial Court at Ketchikan and which ap- peared in the Daily Empire of the 24th. instant was evidently mixed on the wires as it stated that Walter Sully of Ketchikan, an Englishman of 20 years residence in Alaska, had been convicted with an Indian on the charge of theft As Walter Sully is a brother of H. " Sully of Douglas, the latter was naturally as tonished that his brother had so far fallen from grace" as to be guilty of theft The Ketchikan Progressive Miner of April 24th, however, set the matter straight and caused the features of the Douglas Sully to re- lax by stating that Walter Sully, an Englishman of 20 years residence in Alaska, had been admitted to full citizenship before the Territorial Court, evidence of itself that Sully was of good character as foreigners are not usually convicted of a crime and made citizens of the United States at the same sitting of court The error doubtless occurred through a too much "skeletonized" press dis patch. Walter Sully is a prominent resident of Ketchikan and has a growing family there.

J. R. c. BENEFIT PARTY
 HELD LAST NIGHT
 WAS GREAT SUCCESS

DOUGLAS, April 30.-The card
 party given last night at Labor Un- ion Hall by the Treadwell Parent Teacher Association for the benefit of the Treadwell Junior Red Cross drew a large crowd, no less than 21 tables being occupied by players to say nothing of about twenty who did not play.
 One wall of the hall contained a display of Red Cross work done by the pupils of Treadwell school and it was one which would do honor to any junior organization anywhere, containing as it did practically every thing in the line of Red Cross sup plies, and enough to fill several boxes.
 Members of the Junior Red Cross
 were active all evening, the girls in
 uniform selling lemonade and the
 boys selling ice cream which to the
 amount of ten gallons they furnished
 themselves and at 10 cents per dish
 they realized between $16 and ST.
 On the lemonade which sold at five
 cents the girls took in about half that amount.
 The fine glacier picture, four feet
 long, donated by Gabriel Paul,
 brought $21 when raffled. There were
 82 tickets out and No. 68 was the
 winner The holder of the lucky
 ticket was not present last night and
 the identity of the holder had not
 been made known at noon today. A
 number of cakes which were donated
 sold at fixed price of $1.50 each.
 Admissions at the door amounted to $2650, the net profits of the enter tainment being in the neighborhood of $75.
 The prize winners at cards were :: Ladies-Mrs. R. E. Coughlin, 1st;
 Mrs E. Holmes, End; Miss Carrie
 Datelefs, booby.
 Gentl6men-Gabriel Paul, 1st; Joe
 Bruner, End; MT. Morgan, booby.
