RAPHAEL SAINT.

On April 6, 1920, there passed
from earth possibly the greatest
genius the world of painting has
known. The immortal Raphael
at the age Of thirty-sevcn years
had completed his work and went
forth joyously to meet his Maker.
Critics long have cssaycd to de-
termine the particular class in
which the Young Umbrian be-
longed: they finally agreed that he
constituted a distinct sphere by
himself. Less than AIichelangelo
as many-sided genius, not so YER
satilc as Da Vinci. still Raphael
surpassed them both in the IRE
sistiblc charm, the elusive beauty
Of ethereal purity which stamped
his masterpieces.
The pure, moral atmosphere
which he breathcd and delighted
in pcrmeates his works and re-
veals the simple nobility Of his
soul which infused itself with pro-
digious lavishness into the speak
ing likeness of his religious ideals.
His Nadonnas glow with vivid
and palpitating realism, and they
disclose that spiritual passion of
love and affection that is found
only in the Italian soul. His
TRANSPORTATION is perhaps the
most widely known Of all his
works, and by it has he been
judged by the nations as the peer
less, the perfect master of art.
When Pope Julius II commits
stoned Raphael to decorate the
Vatican palace he conferred a
boon upon posterity. For here it
was that the slender youth poured
out the wealth of his seemingly
limitlcss powers. The vast design,
representing the various activities
of human life, is the most complete
and finished allegOrical series that
ever proceeded from brush of art
ist. 10 one who has viewed the
frescOes in the various Stance,
and who has looked with the intel
ligent eye Of appreciation upon
the marvellous profusion Of eXalt-
ed ideas that take life and form
! therein, the scene is very festival
Of joy.
The noteworthy fact of Rapha-
els career is that he was inspired
in his every effort by the deep
Catholic faith that animated his
productions. His life and work
are high testimonial to the pow
r Of true religion when welded
to he mind of Nature s most tai
cntcd son. Lilliputian arc the
sneers of atheistic pigmies who
fain would scott at the union of
faith and art. Unregenerate re-
formers snatched millions from the
true faith, and all their artists
together could not duplicate one
of Raphael's Madonnas. One re-
suit of the so-callcd reformation
was the possibility Of the count
less pagan atrocities that pass III
an effete age for art.
Well may Italy, Catholic Italy,
point with legitimate pride to her
goodly company Of artistic and in
tellectual gcniuses: every art and
science has it's leader, a Catholic
Raphael.

Our vocabulary is beginning to
show startling changes. says the
Fortnightly Review. We lately
read in news report: "The fam
lily is in extremely comfortable cir
cumstances, the father being a
ship carpenter" And in another :
"The man is a well-tO-do laborer.'
Both statements were made in
good faith, with no hint of the
jocose which but short time ago
would have been their portion.
Are we now to look for such re-
ports as these: "The family is in
actual want, the father being a
school teacher or church organ
list" or "Thc man is a poverty
stricken brain worker?''

Mary Pickford, known in child
hood as Gladys Mamie Smith, was
divorced from her lawful husband,
and quickly married another who
had dropped his lawful wife.

Low wages i'll the postoffice de-
partment have driven many eff
cient employees throughout the
country into other lines of work.
The result is that the postal au-
thorities are struggling with the
problem of keeping up a standard.
Other papers reach us from one to
two weeks late. If your paper
arrives tardy you will understand
the reason.

BY Charlotte Mary Butler.

One of the first requisites for a
useful life is a sound body, and the
first course of training man receives
in the United States Army is, there
fore, the physical During the first
month or six weeks after enlistment
the recruit is given a systematic and
gradual course of physical training,
including carefully arranged setting
up exercises, athletic games, short
marches, and other physical tests, all
tending to Straighten a man up,
strengthen his body, and keep him in
best possible physical condition to
enable him to perform his duties
properly.
Next in Importance is education.
In the army one may choose any
branch of study and be we'll instructed
in it. The best of teachers are re-
tanned, and it is compulsory to be
able to read and write. Five hours
each day for four days of each week
are given to vocational training.
All branches of the service provide
the Seven Essentials" free: !. Whole
some, bodybuilding food. ,. Clean,
comfortable, and healthful sleeping
quarters. 3. Clothing. L. Medical at
tention. 5. Dentist work. 6. Cheapest
life Insurance in the world. Z. Edu,
cation. Besides, soldier receives a
salary of thirty dollars q month from
the beginning, and this is clear of all
living expenses. It's what you have at
the end of the month that counts, not
what you get in the pay envelope
In the army one receives an educa-
ton, which develops the mind. Physi-
cal exercise and discipline which
develop the body, theaters, libraries,
athletics and other amusements
which provide suitable recreation.
Religion is also safeguarded by the
chaplains.
Formerly, the army was regarded
as a last resort for men who had failed
in every other thing in life, and that
the men who Joined it were good for
nothing else. But this idea is not in
the least applicable to the army of
today. Now it has the best of our
nations young men, men who are am
bilious and wish to better themselves.
Not many now deny the benefits of
universal training and more and more
are coming to realize the benefits of
the training open to those who grasp
their opportunity in the United States
Army, which has been called the uni
versity in Khaki"
Therefore, join the army! Here
lies your opportunity to earn, learn,
travel in France, Hawaii, Philippine
Islands, Panama, China, or the United
States.

CARRANzA FORCES
RA|DED BORDER
Witnesses Tel Of Regularly
Organized Attack.
GERMANS NOT MOLESTED

Five Americans Were Shot by Sol
diers in Train HoId-Up, But leu
tons Were Ignored.
San Antonio, Tex, Jan. 24.-The or
ganized and authorized character of
the border raids was further indicated
in an attested confession of Next
can prisoner taken in 1915 and sub
mitted to the senate subcommittee
investigating the Mexican situation.
1t was incorporated in a report of
Captain A. V. B. Anderson, then COM
manding troop A, twelfty cavalry.
The prisoner described the actions
of his organization in its movements
toward Norias, HiGalgo county, as
more of regular organized unit com
manded by a major of the Carranza
army.
He said after The expedition had ar
rived at a point some distance north
of the Rio Grande the major read his
orders for the attack and assured
them they had been issued in accord
ance with President CarranzaS in
structionS.
Similar testimony was given by
Thomas Mayfeld, a former Texas
Ranger, who submitted an affidavit by
Guadalup Cuellar that Carranza lead
ers had given orders for participation
IN one Of the raids. He described the
mutilation Of one American soldier by
soldiers from the CarranZa garrison.
They cut off the ears of the soldier
and carried them back to the garrison
as souvenirs. The statement was at
tested by Captain Frank B. Mccoy,
now brigadier general.
John L. Kleiber, a district attorney
of the border, gave a description of
the attack on a train near Brownsville,
Texas, which included another m
stance Of the immunity German ma
tionality gave. He was passenger
on the train. On the same train were
two who claimed 20 be Germans. They
were not molested.
Reiber's testimony was corrObOra-
tive Of that of others which tended
to indicate the raiders were in reality
a detachment Of the Mexican army.
Five Americans were shot on that &C.
casion, the leaders of the raiding par
ty being Aneceto Pisano and Luis de
Ia Rosa.
