It can not penetrate tho flesh. and
the nail turns naturally outward

and perpetual merrymaking under
severe fire, say that he was the most
popular of the $500 men of the 101st
Infantry. Col. Logan. who command

that "Connery did more for the mo-
rale of the regiment than any other
twenty men put together.

Representative Connery considers the

pants of the dugout not to let the
next shell strike them. To take this
mans mind off the danger, Connery
began dancing an Irish Jig, the Tip

he helped to brace up the one who
was suffering from shell-shock. After

memories to be reviewed in public

treasures them close to his heart as
the greatest achievements of his ca

While in service he was content to

organizing minstrel shows and jazz

at Montreal College, Canada He then
played the part of Clint Harkins, a
Quick Wallingford." He went with
The Man Who Owns Broadway" for a
short time.
AT the end of his Wallingford sea-
son, Connery married and he and

vile. His father and her father had
years ago under the team name Of
"Connery and lie Gault-" Mr.. and
, Mrs. Connery went on under the same
team name. After one season his
wife quit the stage. Then Connery
did a single in vaudeville on the
his own theater in Salem, Mass,
where he had a stock company in
which he played as well as being
manager and director.
The last company he was with be-
fore the war was Miss Margaret An
Gins, managed by George Tyler. in
which he played the part of q Rus

he was given this part they were re-

to Connery and said, in French: "Ex-

He replied. mo, 1 am an Irishman

Recently, when Miss Anglin was

Throughout the war, Connery was

Connery left college at the end Of
