pose, and although the rough classes
are not always persuaded to join hands
with the army in religious matters, the
feeling entertained for the reG-vested
soldiers is kindly.
There is good reason for this kindli-
ness. Aside from the religious meet
ings the labors of the Salvationists are
almost incessant in works of charity
and mercy. Their religion takes the
practical step of feeding hungry man
first and then preaching to him. They
recognize the fact that man out of
work and with no prospect of finding
employment is not likely to hearken
readily to good advice unaccompanied
by substantial aid They understand
that the ragged tramp lacks self-re-
spect, in part at least, on account of
raiment, and if they can they provide
him with something fit to wear. Their
religion is of that common-sense va
riety that recognizes the body as we'll
as the soul, and admits that the former
must be in comfort. temporarily at
least, before the latter is likely to re-
ceive much attention. Keeping this
practical principle plainly in view they
have organized many charities. homely

folk. They have Il "scrubbing bri-
gade," composed of women, who,
armed with buckets and mops, visit the
homes of the poor. The mother is
sick, the father drunk, the children
are in abiect misery, dirty and hungry.
In comes the scrubbing brigade, takes
friendly possession, mops up the floor,
washes the children and prepares
something for supper. Such charities
as the washing of neglected children,
waiting on the sick wives of the poor,
are not brilliant-th they will never be
chronicled in the papers nor spoken of
in society--but there is Il stern self
sacrifice about them that makes friends
wherever such deeds are told. Nor
are they forgotten. More than one
member of the army has been saved
from insult, if not from injury, by the
protection of persons who have, direct
~ or Indirectly, received these unpre-
tending yet substantial services. Few
hearts are so hardened as not to re-
spond to a kindly act done with neither
expectation nor hope of reward, and
there can be no doubt that much of the
success of this unique organization is
due to the simple, almost costless char
ity dispensed by its members.

astounding, but not more so than the
popularity which the army idea has
achieved wherever organization under
this name has been attempted. Ser
vices of the Salvationists are held in
every language in Europe; little bands
of uniformed men and women are to be
met alike with in the streets of Paris,
Rome. Madrid, ST. Petersburg, and
Constantinople. Everywhere enthusi-
asts caught at the idea as of the high
est practical value in evangelistic
work; everywhere men and women
were found ready to devote their lives
to this peculiar calling. In India and
Ceylon bands of native converts were
formed who now carry on operations
among the masses of dusky population
and find eager listeners. In many
other parts of Asia the Salvatlonlsts
find a hearty welcome and among the
excitable natives of the Dark Continent
they are equally at home. 10 para

The Woman Who Has Tact.

There is nothing that carries a
woman so far toward the goal Of So
cial success as tact. She may not
possess those qualities necessary for
leadership, but she will have no diff
ticulty in securing SO firm a foOthold
that she need have no dread Of a
greater power dawning upon the So
cial horizon. The reason for this is
that in reality tact is but another
word for goodness OF heart, and In
nate kindness to all must be the key
stone that the woman of the world
builds the castles of her ambition
upon.
The tactful woman always says and
does the right thing at the right
time. She never wounds by these
gaucheries which all unintentionally,
yet nevertheless painfully, remind us
of things we had rather have forgot
ten, or tells us unpleasant truths
that are no less bitter because we
know that there is no denying them.
Tact passes over every faux. pas
and somehow manages to convert
them into something pleasant before
the embarrassed perpetrator has a
chance to raise a blush at his own
awkwardncss All graces of mind
and body seem embodied in that one
word, for woman may be painfully
plain, yet with this virtue che be-
comes radiantly lovely in the eyes of
those whom her consummate art has
rescued from some dire strait. She
may be poor, but TO those about her
the richness Of her nature atones for
the lack Of worldly wealth. Her
gowns may be dowdy, but as she
dwells among us she appears to be
clothed in garments of radiant light,
and it would be a brave spirit indeed
that dared to cavil at the makeup of
a woman whose gracious presence and
tactful spirit had spared them many
a period of embarrassment. Above
all virtues cultivate tact, for in it lies
the secret Of all others.

Career of a Famous Detective.

Vidocq, the great French detective,
was born in Arras in 1916. He began
life as a baker and early became the
terror of his companions by his
athletic frame and violent DISPOSE
ton. At the same time he was a
notorious thief, and after many dis.
graceful adventures he enlisted in the
army. In 1896 he returned to Paris
with some money, which, however,
he soon squandered. Next he was
sentenced at Lille to eightyears' hard
labor for forgery, but repeatedly es-
capped, and in 1908 he became con-
nected with the Paris Police as a
detective, His previous career en-
abled him to render important
services. and he was appointed chief
of the safety brigade. chiefly COM
posed OF reprieved convicts, which
purged Paris of the many dangerous
classes. In 1918 he received full
pardon, and his connection with this
service lasted until about 1928, when
he settled at st. Mande as paper
manufacturer. Soon after the revo-
luton of 1880 he became a political
detective, but with little success. In
1913 he was again employed under
the republican government, but he
died penniless in 1857. Commercial

ConSitlcrate Father.

Doctor Story, the father Of the
great chief justice, was man of
sterling common sense and genuine
kindliness. One illustration Of his
method of family government indi-
Gates that he must have been greatly
beloved for his sympathy with boyish
fun.
One evening after the family had
gone to bed the elder boys rose,
dressed themselves and crept softly
down into the kitchen. They built
a roaring fire in the great fireplace,
skirmished about the pantry, and
having secured plentiful supply Of
provisions, prepared to make night
of it,"
Suddenly, to their dismay, knock
was heard at the door. They put out
the light, hastily hid the food, and
concealed themselves about the room
as best they could. The fathers
step was heard on the stair, and in a
moment he entered, bearing a lamp.
The smell Of food attracted his at
tention, and glancing round, he saw
the leg OF boy protruding from
under a table. Without word he
marched straight to the door and ad-
mitted his visitor, who had come to
consult him professionally.
The two sat down before the fire
and began talking together, but after
a time scrambling noise was heard
under the table, and this the visitor
commented on.
''Ah," said the Doctor, didn't you
know we keep a dog?"
When the visitor took his leave the
Doctor retired and left the boys to
their fun. He advised his wife to
discourage such raids in the future,
though he had not the heart to put
an end to such hearty enjoyment
when it was actually in progress.

speech, to it appears an easy and
natural mode of expression.
Speaking of the audience. however,
not the least remarkable thing about
the Salvationists is the character OF
the audiences attracted by them.

male-bar-room habitues, frequenters
of dives, mingle with people of every
other class of life in the street meet

Forests Disappearing

DR.. Joseph T. Rothrock, the bot
anist OF the State Forestry Commits
sion, has been working for TWO weeks
in the Licking Creek region in Miffiin
and Center Counties, and finds that
there are only about twenty-five
cubic feet OF merchantable timber to
the acre in all that district OF $50
square miles, which was once a great
forest. DR.. Rothrock believes that
his surveys and estimates will result
in bringing the people at large to
their senses regarding the destruc-
tion of timber and lead to better ar
rangements for taking care of the
woodland One of his favorite ideas
is the plan OF establishing forest sani-
tariums, such as the Adirondack
region in New York. where the pub
lie may go for the health-giving rest.
