Tavora1O, an Island Near Sardinia,

Some Of the encyclopedias and many
newspapers have commented on the
smallest Independent country in the
world, and have given the credit there

A late issue of the Westminster Ga
Zette takes these authorities to task,
declaring that they are mistaken as to
the government which can lay claim to
being the smallest independent terri
tory on the globe, and says that the po-
sition belongs to Tavorale, an islet off
the, northwest coast Of Sardinia. It's
size is three miles long and three-quar-
tiers of a mile broad and it's popula-
ton numbers exactly ffty-6ve souls.
From 1886 to 1882 the islet was gov
erned by one Paoloto, who had all the
authority Of king, but when he died
in the latter year he advised the in
habitants to form a republic, which
was done. ALI the adult Islanders.

The Booth children were earnest Chris

them stiff or unnatural. Emma early
became a successful worker among
children, and those who needed it were

Of the present army. While still young
in years, she became mother to the
young women she trained and sent out
to do salvation lassie's work. The
largest halls in England were often
toe small to hold the thousands that
came to listen to the talks of this Tat
ter day saint and prophecies" as she
was called. 1t was not long before 5000
trained women were sent out to rescue,
train and inspire others, from the Gore
Read Training Home. A cadet was
found to be unfit for service in the field
aud was therefore offered position in
the Training Home without wages. The
girl wept, exclaiming, Il don't care
about the money, but may l still call
you mother?" a privilege which was
gladly granted by Emma Booth and re-
ceived with delight.
1t is said that the mere actual work
Miss Booth did in the home aside from
outside labor was something terrible"
The establishment of the Home Muir
sery was one branch of her work. En-
ma Booth became one of the most skill

valued helper in the Cabinet. This
was one of the considerations that led

he s of French Huguenot descent. His
pcs. ton as assistant commissioner in
the Civil Service made his humility in
that land of caste when he resigned to
join the Salvation Army and brought
himself down to poverty and on equal
terms with the poor natives so remark
able that they followed him like sheep.
He taught crowds of them in Villages
by day, and by night he held large
moonlight meetings under the trees. At
times when he broke away from them,
going oft with his comrades for two
days fasting and prayer in the jungles,
the people would break up in parties
and search for him carrying him food.
When the Army got into legal troubles
anc members of it were arrested, Com
missioner Tucker was allowed to plead
the Army's cause in the courts, and
his thorough knowledge of Indian law
made him a powerful victor Wealthy
Parsees and others, through adhering
to their own religion, became power
fl. financial supporters of the Army,
for they saw it was making a reforma-
ton in the people, and as natives and
lovers of India they desired to help.
Commissioner Tucker had been sent
to England in his young days to be
educated After his return to the land
OF his birth, and while engaged in his
duties as government ofIicer-his pas
time being that of hunter, in which
he was skillful-a number of the War
Cry came in his way. Reading this
Salvation Army publication so inter-
ested him that it led to his thorough
Identification with the Army, his mar
riage to Emma Booth and his recogni-
ton in India as great religious leader.
The failure of Mrs. Commissioner
