The aim of the A. O. H.,, was ever the foster- ing of loyalty to church and loyalty to county and since it had be2n transplanted to this shore it meant lovalty to the country as much as to that of the past. “We have no wars to face today, but we have a greater danger in the lack of respect for laws. for marriage, for siciety—the greed that is mak- ing men forget to rememniber, “Thou shalt not steal.” We have a fight to fight and we should be foremost in up- holding the good of the countr as an order. In our parochial schools wa have a million and a half of chil- dren and we constitute according to the last census, 25,000,000 of the people of this country. This is quite » number and quite an influence and we have 15,000 churches preaching obedience to law, upholding of mar- riags and the sanctity of life. “I am.proud of the advance that we have made, but T am prouder of the dear old men ‘and women, the Irish fathers and mothers, who came here and toiled that they might give their children the mea to go to college and become what they have become —foremost in all fields.

Remember the work done by tha Sisters of Charity on the battlefields: hold high ideal and he worthy of the principles that those men and women believed in—thuth, sincerity. honor to God an - obedi- ence to law, We stand for this. We feel that we should give our time to the solution of the grave difficu- ties, civic and economic that loom before us, and if we give our atten- tion with earnestness and faith as in the past, there will be fulfillment of our finest ideals and w2 shall be as strong in this land in defense of its zood as were our fathers in the day: of old.” Because of the weather, the ‘field day planned for Thursday by the New London Hibernians and to which the Norwich brothers were invited, has been indefinitely postponed for the season, but a social or other enter- tainment may’ be arranged in its place. MOOSE. Organizer F. R. Norton of the Loyal Order of Moose expects to have mat- ters in readiness for the institution of the Norwich lodge next week, proba- bly on Wednesday or Thursday eve- nin~ T. A. B, hall on Broadway has been ‘engaged for the occasion. There will be about forty to receive mornirig | the initiatory rites of the order, which of its proscnt. will be %vministered' by National Or- ganizer illiam 8. Boote, assisted by Deputy Norton. Mr. Boote is npw en- gaged in Moose organization in Bridge- port, where the lodge is flourishing. Deputy Norton's efforts are resulting in a steady increase -in the list of prospective candidates and his slogan continues to be a thousand members and a Moose home. In Baltic, next week, the interest of the residents is to be stirred up by. an opening meeting in the Baltic hotel A fine entertainment programme is be- ing arranged in the effort to make if an atiractive occasion. Speaking of their methods, Organiz- er Norton says: “When a lodge of Moose is institut- ed a representative of the supreme lodge, or the organizing department, ‘keeps in touch with it for one year, and attends the meetings regularly. They do not institute and run away; they stay with the lodge until the offi- cers are fully able to transact the bus- iness thereof, and must see that the lodge has a substantial financial start, so that when members become entitlea to benefits they will be in a position to meet all claims. Should an epi- demic break out in the city and affect the lodge to the extent of depleting its treasury, the supreme lodge weuld im- mediately come to its rescue, as they maintain a reserve fund of one million dollars for such a contingency.” KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS. ‘White Cross council, No. 13, K. of the fall term on Sunday afternoon. The regular work of the organization of has been light during the summer months, but with t advent of fall quite a programme being prepared by the officers of the council for the consideration of the members. At tomorrow’s meeting, several new- 1y elected members will receive the first degree and a number of applica- tions for membership will be consid- ered. Suggestions for a proper ob- servance of Columbus day which oc- curs in October, will be considered, and plans will be made for an exem- plification of the third degree -at date, there being a L e cle of candicates eligible for this degree. It is expected that the meeting tomor- row will be largely attended and in- teresting. RIGHT ON THE JOB He Didn’t Behevs In Letting the Place Seek the Man. A little story of success starting with the use of want ads. is contained in Business and the Bookkeeper. A Min- neapolis manufacturer explains his lik- ing for men who, even if they lack cer- tain important qualities, have “initia- tive and originality.” The manufacturer, who at the time of which he spoke was just out of college, in Chicago and out of work. an advertisement offering a position. addressing. as instructed, "T24.” He inclosed his reply in a liarge red en- velope that could be seen and recog- nized at a distance. He was in the newspaper eoffice early the following morning. In one of the boxes in which replies to advertisements were kept he saw his red envelope. He waited three hours until the letter in that box was given to a man calling for them. He followed the man to a west side fac- tory. As the messenger laid the bunch of letters on the manager’s desk the Jjob hunter was standing by it. “I'm ready to go to work,” he said. The manager’s reply was not “elegant,” but in addition to being exclamatory it was 1uterroga:m’x. How did he manage to present himself on the scene? The young man in need of the job pointed to his red envelope. The manager lcoked at it and looked at him. Then he turned to the messen- ger. “Find out who this young fellow is and put him to work,” he said. will hold its first regular meeting | answered | | busy. | least one-half the men save money on HIS _PAY AND HIS PHOSPECTS.’ Even as a- Private He Can Run His | Salary Up to $35 a Month, and as a “Noncom” He Can Double That and | In Time Retire Rich and Pensioned. There are many opportunities opes | to the man who enlists in the United States army and wears the uniform of Uncle Sam with honor to himself and his country. The pay is good, the food is good. and the chances for ad- vancement are numerous. It is up to the individual man himself to make good and to take advantage of the- situation. ° Writing in the Columbian Magaziue on army affairs, Edward Marshall in discussing the status of the. enlisted man says: Summarized. this is what a man who thinks of marching for his Uncle Sauel as an enlisted man has to con- sider: On first enlistment the soldier for 01d Glory nowadays gets.§15 a month. | far better pay, for instance, than the average clerk’s, for board. lodging and clothing are furnished by the govern- ment.

Privates’ pay increases ! 83 a month for each three year en-; listment. An expert never gets to be a petty officer, there- | fore, can run his pay up. with good | conduct and intelligence, to $35 a! month and all his necessaries *“found” | in five enlistments covertug fitteen. years. . Noncommissioned officers are taken | from the ranks on recommendation of | their company or troop commanders and are often given their posts uponl‘ their first enlistments. These men are really well paid. A sergeant major is! allotted to each regiment. He receives $45 monthly when he is appointed and | $4 additional per month each time he re-enlists. Regimental commissary ser- geants, regimental quartermaster’s ser- geants and the three battalion ser- geants in each regiment get the same high pay. Each company has a first sergeant at $45, with an increase of $4 upon re-enlistments; a second ser- | geant at $36. with $3 increase for each re-enlistment; a corporal at $18, with $3 each for re-enlistments. The gov- ernment acts as banker for the sol- diers, too, if they desire to have it, and noncommissioned officers have left the | service with as much as $20,000 saved —not one, but many. If he sticks tight to the service for full thirty years a noncommissioned officer is entitled to retirement on pay ranging from one- half to three-quarters of his service pay. Seventy dollars monthly is not unusual pay for a *“‘noncom” to retire on. And every year of service seen outside the United States counts as Two vears at a home pest. A man, rifleman who | | rather that to | after termorrow, therefore, after fifteen years of service in the islands may, retire on his half ‘pay. ; The food the "noncoms” and.the other enlisted men are given is whole- some and well cooked. the medical at- tendance free and able, post and gar- rison schools have been provided at all posts for the primary branches, and " at several posts trade schools have been established. A worthy man, no matter where he may be sta- tioned, is almost certain to get trans- fer to a “school post” if he asks for it. Cooking. baking, blacksmithing, veterinary surgery. electrical and sta- tionary engineering. all are taught at these trade schools. as well as many other things. Thus a boy who has had little chance to get an education may, after he has joined the army. get a very good one. There seems to be but one thing which army life does not offer to the enlisted man. But that one thing is home. s In its degree indeed the life of the enlisted man now offers more induce- ments than the life of the West Point- er. The commissioned officer’s pay is small when khis expenses and the ef- fort he must make to get commission- ed are considered, and, furthermore, the noncommissioned officer is not so subject to political influences as the West Pointer, who gives him his com- mands. Discretion the Better Part. Mr. Callaban had received a long | tongue lashing from Mr. Hennessey, and his friends were urging on him the wisdom of vindicating his honor with bis fists. “But he’s more than me equal,” said Mr. Callaban dubiously, **and look at th’ size of 'm.” . “Sure an' you don’t want folks to be sayn'. ‘Terry Callahan is a cow- ard? ” demanded a reproachful friend. *“Well, I dunno,” and Mr. Callahan gazed mournfully about him. *I'd ’ave ’em sayin' day *How natural Terry looks! ”—Metropolitan Magazine. How a Hindu Uses Clocks. The Hindu places a clock in his showrooms not hecause he ever desires to know what the hour is. but because & clock is a foreign curiosity. Instead. therefore, of contenting himself with one good clock he will perhaps have a dozen in one room. They are signs of bis wealth. but they do not add to his comfort, for he is so indifferent to time that he measures it by the number of bambov lengths the sun has traveled above the horizon. Oysters as Rat Traps. Catching rats with oyster shells is the unique method employed by some pearlers round about Broome., Western Australia. They leave a large oyster on the floor of the cabin at night. It opens for a breath of fresh air, and the smell of fresh meat attracts the rats. When the rodent thinks he’ll try a little supper, the oyster sudden- ly decides that he doesn’t like fresb air. Next morning the shell is pried open and the dead rat thrown over- board. He’s Still Doiny. “What does your father do for a liv- Ing. my son?” asked the kind old lady. | “Time just now,” replied the youn- ster, “but he used to do everybody.”— New York Times.

It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Tastoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: Flirst—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: T7hird—It is an agreeable and pasfret substitute for Castor Oil. unlke Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, etc. It is absolutely safe. It does not comtain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. It is Our duty, however, is to . expese danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisening innocent children through greed or ignorauce ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Halls Journal of Healtk. l‘\li\;l:. { unmu \'_7 Promotes Digesfion. ness znd Best Contains neither Opsum,Morphine nor Minesal.

Leister, of Rogers, Ark., says : ‘“ As a practicing phy- sician I use Castoria and like it very much.,” Dr. W. T. Seeley, of Amity, R. Y., says: “I have used your Cas- toria for several jears iz my practice and kave found it a safe and reliable remedy.” Or. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Cal., says : “After using your Castoria for children for years it annoys me greatly to have an ignorant druggist substitute some- thing else, especially to the pa- tieni’s disadvantage, 2s in this case. I enclose nerewith the wrapper of the imitation.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says : “‘ Physicians generally do ot prescribe proprietary prepa- rations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many * other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice be- cause I have found it to be a thor- oughly reliable remedy for chil- _dren’s complaints: Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom- mendation of Castoria.” Dr. W. F. Wallace, of Bradford, N. H., says: 1T use your Castoria in my practice, and in my family.” Or. W, 1. McCann or Omaha, Neb., says : ‘* As the father of thir- teen children I certainly know something about your great medi~ cine and aside from my own family experience, I have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. Howard James, of New York, City, says : *“ It is with great pleas- ure that I desire to testify to the medicinal virtue of your Castofia. I have ased it with marked benefit in the ease of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent resul s from its administration to oth r children in my practice.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- pbia, Pa,, says : *“The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs tQ be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chica- go, I, says : “I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice and find it very satisfactory.” Pr. William Belmont, «f Cleve- land, Ohio, says: ** You Castoria stands first 'm its ciass In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything thatso filled the place.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says : I prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as I have never found anything to equal it far chil- dren’s troubles. f am aware that there are imitationsin the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher’s.” Dr. Channing H. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo., says: “I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact that most medi- cines of this character are obnox- ious and therefore difficult of ad- ministration. As a laxative I consider it the peer of anything shat I ever prescribed.” Dr. L. O. Morgan, of So. Amboy, N. J. says: “I prescribe your Casto~ ° ria every day for children who are suffering from constipativn, with bet#er effect than I receive from any other combination of drugm.” Dr. H. J. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: ‘I have used your Casto- ria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and-priv- ate practice for many years. The formula is excellent.” Dr. Wm. L. Bosserman, of Buf- falo, N. Y., says: “I am pleased to speak a good word for your Casto- ria. I think so highly of it that X not only recommend it to others, but have used it in my own family.” Dr. F. H. Kyle, of St..Paul, J- Minn., says: ‘It affords me plea- §~ sure to add my name to the long . list of those who have used and - now endorse your Castoria. The fact of the ingredients being known . through the printing of the formula on the wrapper is one good and sufficient reason for the recom- mendation of any physician.
