THE VALIANT 69TH
FATHER DUFFY, HEROIC CHAP
LAIN, PRAISES THEIR RE-
LIGIOUS SPIRIT.

Father Duffy, chaplain of the famous
the religious spirit of the men.
Addressing a vast audience in New
York, Father Duffy said that the most
striking thing about the regiment was
it's religious life He explained that
not all the men were Catholics, and
that there were many Professionals
and Jews in the regiment, but that by
the traditions that have associated
themselves with the Sixty-ninth it's
external religious life has been Cath
Ole. He described the religious cere-
monies that stood out in his memory
the midnight Mass in the old church
at Grande in 1917; the midnight Mass
a year later on the Rhine; the Easter
Mass a year ago, when with the steps
of ruined church as the Communion
rail 1000 of the men received Com
munion.
Il rugged UP the altar" Father
Duffy said, wherever it was most con-
venient, and while General Michael
Lenihan was our brigade commander
he served as my assistant at Mass.
Sometimes the boys, 1000 at time,
| would receive the Bread of Life. AL

they received Communion and were
prepared.
| 'The non Catholics admired the men
| for it, he said, Il think it was the
plump, outright, t-give-a-hang way
they went at the practices of their re.
ligion that aroused this respect
When the Jewish holidays came along
it was arranged that the four score
Jewish men in the regiment kept il
properly. Without sticking my re
ligion before the boys who we're not
catholics, | tried to be friendly and
useful in various ways. 1 think the
spirit manifested in the regiment was
| a fine tribute to the fundamental de
cency and tolerance of the American
people. The boys led splendid
moral life Many of them, Protestant
and Catholic, said their prayers morn

LincoIn's Tribute.
"Of all the forms of charity and
n 10
wards of the hospitals, those of some
Catholic Sisters were among the most
efficient. I never knew whence they
came or what was the name of their
order. More lovely than anything |
have ever seen in art so long devoted
to illustrations of love, mercy and
charity, are the pictures that remain
of those modest Sisters going on their
errands of mercy among the suffering
and the dying. Gentle and womanly,
yet with the courage Of soldiers lead
ing a fOrlOrn hope, to sustain them
in contact with such horrors. AS they
went from cot to cot, distributing the
medicines prescribed, or administer
ing the cooling Strengthening draughts
as directed, they were veritable an
gels Of mercy Their words were
suited 20 every sufferer. One they
! incjtod and encouraged, another they
| Gained ana soothed. With every sol

| his wife, his children, all the loved
ones he was soon to see again if he
was obedient and patient. How many
times have | seen them exercise pain
by their presence or their words,
How often has the hot forehead OF
the soldier grown cool as one of these
Sisters bathed it! How often has he
been refreshed, encouraged, and as
sisted along the road to GONZALES
| cence, when he would otherwise have
fallen by the way, by the home mem
cries with which these unpaid nurses
filled his heart!"

Some Famous Generals

ITO his Famous Leaders series of
i stories for young readers, Charles
II. l.. Johnston has added the seventh,
very timely book called Famous Generals
Of the Great War, the cover of which
bears picture in colors Of Gen. Pershing
in field uniform. The volume includes
sketchy accounts of the lives of King Al
bert of Belgium, of the Frenchmen, Joffre,
Foch, Petain, D'Esperey and De Castel-
nau; the Englishmen Sir John French,
Haig, Allenby, Maude and the South At
rican, Jan SHUTS; the Italian commander
Diaz; and Pershing, the chapter devoted
to him also mentioning Major-Gen. james
G. Harboard and Col. Neville and Catlin
of the Marine Corps, Gen. Harboard hav-
ing served with that force for a time at
the front.
The photographs of these Generals re-
produced in this book are all excellent and
every boy will rejoice in reading the de-
scriptions of the battles they fought with
so much distinction for themselves and for
their countries.
We wish to point out that when Per-
shing went to West Point in 1884 they
were not doing "squads right" as Mr..
Johnston states. "Four right" was the
command in those days.

many years, and as free lance journalist.
There is no part Of the history of France
since the Second Empire that he is not
closely conversant with. Paris and Her
People is a remarkably complete resume
Of life in Paris between 1870 and 1900.
From the downfall of the rather despi-
cable Louis Napoleon, through the feverish
months of the Commune and the years Of
swift rebuilding Of national spirit and
strength marked by political crises and
the passing of presidents, assassinations,
anarchist horrors and financial scandals,
the author unfolds swiftly moving mar
ratiye that never hesitates too long over
any single episode. Naturally the require
ments of the book make it impossible to
treat extensively many a subject that
warrants more consideration, but the vast
canvas that unrolls is its own reward. The
background is Paris and before it move
hundreds of marionettes, some of them
existing for mere paragraph, others
averaging several pages. A host Of actors
and actresses, authors of all sorts and
conditions, dramatists, poets, painters,
sculptors, statesmen and political oppor-
tunists, inventors and professional men,
have their little moment, fit into the whole
and then disappear. The r:sul. is re-
complete picture Of three dec
AIDES of life in the most fascinating city
in the world.
Mr.. Vizetellys manner is often terse,
but he knows exactly what he is writing
about. He traces the theatrical history
Of Paris through those thirty years, nam
ing all the great successes and describing
all the famous players. The more impor-
tant books are mentioned. Political stu
atoms suelf as the Boulanger conspiracy
and the Dreyfus scandal are described.
The anarchist terrorisms between 1890
and 1894 are brought in. For each year
be gives the deaths of famous personages,
many of them now famous no longer, SO
short memoried is time, and describes
them in a few illuminating sentences.
The great crimes OF each year are intro
1uced. Indeed, he leaves nothing out that
would go to give complete panorama of
the period.
AS critic Mr.. Vizetelly must be taken
with pinch of salt. He knows what he
likes, but it is altogether too apparent that
he likewise knows what he does not like.
He dismisses Paul Verlaine as a mere
degenerate and adds: GAS poet he Ger
taihly takes fairly high rank, vigor of
being perhaps his chief quail
ty." Comment would be superfuous. The
exquisite delieacy of the poet of the Fetes
full Of faint voices signing on
The wind and gentle dropping Of rose
leaves, is as far removed from vigor as
Mr.. VHetelly is from poetry.
But it is not as critic that Mr.. Vie
ELY is to be valued. 1t is as chronicler
armed with myriads of anecdotes and
thousands of facts and the ability to put
hem into absorbing narrative form that
MS value lies. Paris and Her People is
delicious and worthy addition to those
volumes, such as Republican France, My
Adventures in the Commune and The
Court of the Tu7eies, that have gone
before. H. s. G.

A big boost was given the pork in
dustry in Marion county Saturday after
noon when about $50 members of the
Pig Club, organized by G. w. Eyre of

sist any boy or girl to the extent Of a
$40 loan to get started in the art Of
pig raising. He will also accommoda; ;a
them by furnishing young pigs to any
member at prices ranging from two to
five dollars.
Along with the other matter, there
was presented the proposition of organ
izing Standard Pig Club, which pro-
vides for a certain degree Of efficiency
in the work. For this latter organiza-
tion the following officers were elect
ed president Elmor Roth; vice presi-
dent, Frank Egglcr, secretary Francis
Smith.
A number Of active club workers
and leaders were present and made brief
addresses which not only gave the
Young people good deal of informa-
tion and counsel but injected lot Of
enthusiasm into the movement. Among
the speakers were Supervisor j. w. L.
Smith, of the Pig Club movement;
County Superintendent W. NJ Smith,
N. G Maris Of the Oregon Agricultural
College; Mrs NJ. L. Fulgcrson, assist
ant supervisor for Marion county; A.
I O'Reilly, Of the o. A. c.; w. H.
Steusloff. Walter Denton, Supervisor
Josiah Wills of Polk county; G. W.
and David Eyre Of the U. S. National
bank.
Among other matters discussed was
the question Of Systematically inereas-
ing the membership of the club up TO
800 if possible. 1t was also arranged
that members might devote themselves
to raising calves or sheep if they pre-
ferred. There was every evidence Of
enthusiasm and determination in the
ranks and there is little question that
this club win develop into the strong
est organization in the valley.
At the close Of the meeting the mem
bers were delighted with an invita-
tion from David Eyre to visit the Spa
ice cream parlors at his expense.

Weathered Storm.

The bill to increase the salary Of
the justices of the supreme court was
the only one of the dozen or more
state salary bills to weather the storm
which broke in the senate Saturday
afternoon when the ways and means
committee turned in adverse reports
on the measures boosting the pay war
rants of various officials
On all but the supreme court salary
