STORY OF A RESCUE.
Gen BaIIisGton booth Tells of the
Time He Was n Saloon
keeper

In his article entitled "The Personal
Appeal of the Volunteers" in Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly, Gen. Balhng-
ton Booth cites this story of rescue.
"One Sunday evening, about three
years ago, l was sitting in a down
town saloon with friend. We had
been there for some time when l said /:
Let's get out of here. I'm tired of
this Place So, my friend acquiesced,
we left the harroom, and found our
selves walking aimiessly along the side
walk. Finally, my companion sug-
gested that we go to Cooper Union and
hear Col. Pattie Watkins sing and talk.
He explained who she was and what
the Volunteers were, and / thought
might enjoy the music anyway-so 1
went.
Il hadn't been to church for years,
but / had, nevertheless, always felt
good deal of respect for religion.

men and gamblers, and one of the very
first things that l remembered being
taught was how to mix drink.

keeper and gambler, but during all
that time my conscience was awake.
and l had qualms of conscience every
time l served man with a drink. 1
never had any love for the business,
and more than once / had walked out
of saloon belonging to me, telling the
bartender he could have everything
in the place, and have left the town for
good.
Il remember once owning saloon
that / felt ashamed to go to, and l
never did visit it, except when went
every Monday to get the $3.50 prom
ised by the pugihst whom had put in
to run it, How much more he made, or
what he did in the place, 1 never cared
to ash.
Every once in awhile 1 would have

taehments. This would have been all
the easier for me to do because had

TO SAVE THE MAORI RACE.
Ignorance of the People Responsible
An a Great Measure for Their
Taking on.

Considerable progress is being made
in connection with the movement for
providing school for Maori girls. His
excellency the governor and Lady Ran
furry have, in furtherance of the
scheme, recently had a most interest
ing.gathering in the ballroom at Gov
eminent house, Wellington, reports
the Pa, Mail Gazette
At one end of the room was a group
of Maori chiefs, their dark faces and
grizzled heads forming a picturesque
dado round the Cleaning amber-col-
ored walls. To some of the chiefs pres
ent their surroundings must have been
strange, though they never lost their
self-possession or dignity, and their
eyes never wandered down the rows of
people in idle curiosity. A few of them
carried meres or clubs. The governor
in short opening speech impressed
on his hearers the necessity of educat-
ing the Maori girls, the future wives
and mothers of the race. Among the
more prominent items of the pro-
gramme was Maori song by the
chiefs. Then Rev. F. Bennett Zone of
the native race). who is devoting him
self to this crusade, addressed the
gathering.
In picturesque metaphor he showed
the necessity of aiding the Maoris to-
day, who, if official returns are to be
believed, and no aid comes from their
white brothers. are dying as a race.
In speaking about the question of
dress, Mr.. Bennett told humorous
tale of an old Maori who came into
northern town from village some
miles away, one hot summers day. He
had little money and wanted to buy
European Clothes in the store. He
stood puzzled by the choice of raiment.
AT last his gaze fell on a yellow oilskin
coat, gay with red flannel innings To-
this he added comforter and a SOU
wester. and, thus attired. strutted in
the sunshine outside, his bare legs
showing below the coat. All day he
showed off his fnery in the streets.
but in the evening Mr.. Bennett found
him sitting outside a hut with nothing
but shawl twisted around his waist.
'Where are your clothes?" asked the
clergyman. TOO hot; no good said
the old man.
In summer money is fairly plentiful
with the Maoris, and the natives buy
clothes and wear fiannels and substan-
tial materials. In winter, when money
is scarce, they are often reduced to
straits. and their clothing is of the
most flimsy nature. This cause great
mortality. The little children especial
ly suffer through the ignorance of
their mothers, and Mr.. Bennett gave
many sad instances where know.edge
of diet and nursing would have saved
the lives of the babies. In one district
the poor Maori mothers were told -four
was good food for il ~ants. Probably
baked flour was meant. but the woman
used it raw, mixed with water, and not
one of the children survived.
