FROM LUXURY TO LABOR,
An Alameda PoeteSs Joins the
Ranks of the Salvation
Army.
Her First Lesson in Army Discipline
Was Over Her Big
Sleeves.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, J
Q0S Rroadwav Dec 10

908 Broadway, Dec. 10.
Miss Rosa I. Coke is the latest young lady
to abandon a life of ease, refinement and
luxury for the stern experience of Saliva
ton Army officer. Cadet Coke left her
home on Buena Vista avenue, Alameda,
to-day and is now installed in the San
Francisco Training Garrison for women.
Miss Coke is an expert violinist and re-
ceived finished education. She has also
made a local reputation as writer of
verses. and has frequently contributed to
the War Cry. For some time she has been
staying with the families of Mrs. Carrie
Judd Montgomery and Major Keppel. She
has also been at Mills College for time,
but is not gradute of the seminary. The
story OF her call to enter the army work
was told by her last night at the Oakland
barracks.
II Just simply had to join the Salvation
Army she said. 81 felt that | could not
be happy elsewhere, SO | am going to the
garrison.
''Do l think / shall ever regret the step l
am taking? No-I have counted the cost.
| remember when / first saw the army in
Alameda. l was much younger then-I'm
10 now-and / was an earnest member of
the church. l passed the kneeling soldiers
on the street, but from that moment |
have never forgotten the earnestness Of
their prayers and testimonies. | knew
nothing of the government OF the army,
and thought that there was a good deal
that was mountebankish about their
doings, but / can hear them praying yet.
Then | attended the meetings, and the
result is that | am farewelling here to-
night.
''But l had one great disappointm ent
and must tell about 1T, because following
close on my disappointment | experienced
the first touch of army discipline. 1t was
when Ensign Reed came to the coast and
l was staying with the Keppels. | had
heard a great deal of the ensign and / ex-
pected to see tall powerful-looking man
who would command by look. / was so
interested in him because he was the first
officer to whom | owed obedience. When
he came-imagine my disappointment
when l saw that insignificant little thing"
AS Cadet Coke spoke she pointed TO Ensign
Reed, who was sitting on the platform, and
the audience laughed heartily for several
minutes.
Ensign Reed looked somewhat embar-
raised. but he was relieved as Miss Corse
proceeded.
"But insie nificant or not she said,
"what do you think was his first remark:
young lady, are not those sleeves a trihe
large for SalvationistP And felt as if |
would like to find hole in the earth to
drop into"
At the close of her address delegation
of ladies from the church in Alameda of
which Miss Coke was a member went up
to the platform and babe her farewell.
1t is understood that a sister of Miss
Coke is also anxious to enter the work.

Governor Blasdel counts his years as sew
enty -one, yet be could easily be taken for
man of fifty, and MS wife, who is two
years his junior, is equally well-preserved.
Yesterday was the fiftieth anniversary
of their marriage. which took place in
La wrenceburg, Ind, and not only were
children and grandchildren present at the
jubilee, but a great-grandson months old
was also one of the guests, making four
generations represented at the gathering.
The celebration consisted of a dinner, at
which were present the following, all
members of the family: Colonel S. w.
Blasdel and wife, Miss Edith Blasdel Mr..
and Mrs. Blaine Smith, Mrs. Strow bridge
and son Howard, the latter being the
great-grandson of Governor Biasdel of
Portland, Or, and Mr.. and Mrs. A. G.
Blasdel Jr., Mrs. l.. Blasdel Bernard and
her son Raymond B. Bernard, who are
residents of this city.
The handsome residence on East Oak
land Heights was still further beautified
with tasteful decorations, yellow being the
prevailing color. signifying the golden
anniversary. Handsome chrysanthemums
were used on the table and throughout
the rooms, and the occasion was a very
delightful one. Congratulatory kilograms
were received from friends in Nevada and
Portland and various places throughout
the State. and many handsome gifts were
presented to the couple by children and
friends.
Governor Blasdel was born in Dearborn
County, Indiana, and came TO Nevada
while it was still Territory soon after his
marriage in 1910. He was elected Governor
when that State was admitted into the
Union and was reelected after serving his
first term of two years, serving four years
in all. He has always been prominent IN
the affairs of the State of which he was the
chief executive, and is also well known In
California. He is man of sterling prin-
ciple, of liberal education, and has been,
as expressed by one of his daughters, "a
lovely father" his first thought being of
and for his family. He is man of I'M
usually fine physique, being six feet four
and one-half inches in height and devel-
oped proportionateiy. Yesterday the Gov
ernor was as mirthful as if he were indeed
as young as he feels. The gathering about
his table was a happy one, and reminis-
cences and tales of early days were told,
and the little great-grandson received as
much attention as any one representing
the fourth generation of family deserves.
Colonel and Mrs. S. w. Blasdel cele-
fifth anniversary, in Portland a month
ago, and on this occasion they received
congratulations upon having completed
quarter-century of welded life.
Each member of the family took piece
of the wedding cake as souvenir, declar-
ing that they would keep it until Governor
and Mrs. Blasdel celebrate their diamond
wedding twenty-five years hence.
