and when Is was teaching the poor
girls of london missions how to read
and write. A few years later she was
given charge of the training of women
cadets in the army home in London,
and she continued the task until her
marriage in 1888.
Mrs. Booth Tucker and her husband
came to New York In 1896, when Bal
lington Booth was recalled to Lon
don. She entered actively into her
work and soon gained the love or her
followers and the respect OF the whole
American people. The great mass or
executive work Of the army In this
country fell upon her shoulders. She
was a master Of detail and was ever
in close touch with all the great move
ments OF the army. In addition she
was constantly on the platform
preaching, praying and singing. She
was natural leader and through her
influence many wealthy men have been
interested in the work Of the Salvation
Army.
Mrs. Booth Is survived by SIX chill
dren, between the ages Of five months
and thirteen years. The motherless
little ones are being cared for by
friends at their home in Mount Yer
non, n. Y.
At the time of the accident she was
returning to Chicago after visit to
the Salvation Army colony at Fort
Amity, Col. At the same time her hus-
band was speeding from New York to
Chicago to meet her. He did not learn
Of her death till he reached Chicago
and was Frustrated at the news,
which has caused deep grief in Saliva
ton Army circles and in religious cir
cles generally throughout the English
speaking world.
In the same wreck In which Mrs.
Booth Tucker lost her life Col. Thomas
G. Holland, governor of the Fort Am
ity colony, was fatally wounded and
20 other persons were injured.

why Not Learn English.

1T Is we'll to be able to read and
speak one or more foreign languages.
But in the agitation for bringing about
this laudable culture" Is 1t not being
overlooked that knowledge Of ones
native tongue Is also well, Is indeed
more important than knowledge even
of French?
Not all Of us will have French Wallets
or maids. Not all of us will need to
read German philosophy and history
and science that can't be got in trans
lation. Not all Of us viii sell goods to
Spanish speaking peoples who have no
money to buy goods with and no need
for goods. But all of us viii have to
read, write and speak the English
language, and how many Of us will
ever be able more than to read, write
and speak 1t.
There never was such language as
the English, especially since we Amer
leans have got at 1t with explorative
and inventive minds. To know how
to pronounce It's wonderful words, to
understand exactly what they mean, to
have a large and well selected stock
of them in our neutrality-suspicious. Is a
liberal, all-round education, one that
no man or woman could have without
being Justly noted everywhere as a
person of superior intelligence.

Relapse of a Redwonan.

Major Pratt, Of the United States
army, who Is in charge of the Carlisle
Indian School, admits that many Of his
graduates who return to tribal life fall
into Indian ways again. Therefore he
is doing all he cansto prevent the .edu-
Gated Indians from going back to the
reservation.
He tells of an incident he saw at
a Western Indian agency. A squaw en-
tered traders store, wrapped in a
blanket, pointed at a straw hat and
asked, How muchee?'
Fifty CENTS" said the marchant.
How muchee?" she asked again,
pointing at another article.
The price was quoted and was fol-
lowed by another pointing and query
of How muchee?"
Then she suddenly gazed blandly at
the merchant and asked, mildly, do
you not regard such prices as extor-
tionate for articles of palpably inferior
quality? Do you not really believe
that a reduction in your charges would
materially enhance your profits? beg
you to consider my suggestion"

all Texans have in their great State.
That Is one thing that makes a senu-
ment against division of the State, but
the real reason-the one that out
weighs all the potent arguments for
dividing the State in order to increase
the influence of the west In the United
States Senate-is found In more
grave condition.
The reason Texas must never be d.
vided 1t this: There can be but two
kinds Of republics-the considerations
Of States and the centralized govern
ment which becomes In the end moth
ing but monarchy. The United States
Is drifting too rapidly into monarchi-
cal form Of government.
1t Is not even now governed by men
1t is controlled by money. The power
Of the financial interests Is paramount
to the power of the people. The re-
suit will be q dissolution Of the con-
federacy OF States or a monarchical
form of government. l want Texas to
be big enough to stand alone when the
dissolution Of the Union shall come
This Is reason enough for never divid-
ing this State.

With how many people does the
business Of life mean literally the get
ting Of money? We all have dreams
of philanthropy, perhaps, and would
give something to humanity as well
as take from 1t. But with how many
of us does the idea Of giving come first
and that of getting take second placer
Moneymaking Is the first great pur-
suit-in this country, at least And
the fact is showing itself even in the
colleges. The Princeton Alumni Week
ly calls attention to the fact that In
this years freshman class, which con-
tains over 400 students, the number
Of men entered for the degree Of bach
elor of science considerably exceeds
that entered for the degree Of bach
elor of arts. The Weekly notes that
the scientific department at Princeton
now, for the first time In the history
OF the institution, Is larger than the
academic, and explains this condition
Of affairs by saying that many young
men enter the scientific course with the
definite purpose Of slipping out Of 1t
after sophomore year by taking all the
academic electives of senior and Junior
years. Unprejudiced observers will
view the increase In the enrolment
In the scientific departments of uni
versities as evidence of the growth Of
utilitarian views Of education. The
spirit Of commercialism has struck
deep into the thought of the time.
Young men are seeking education that
will help them In the race to get rich.
Maybe the old-fashioned ideas of edu-
cation, that 1t simply made cultured
gentlemen with the habit Of thinking
things that could not be applied in ac-
tual life was all wrong, and In the fu-
ture the office of the university will be
to make engineers of various sorts,
doctors without Latin, lawyers with
out logic or history, ministers without
literature and architects without the
Is dazzled by the enormous fortunes
and the boundless opportunities for
wealth that lie all around him. He is
impatient to get rich and forgets that
riches are not an end of existence, but
only means. He forgets that he may
cultivate within his mind and heart
better riches than lie in all the out
side world. Perhaps the majority Of
fathers and nearly all the sons who
take counsel about the matter at all
do not regard anything as education
which does not definitely and directly
prepare the boy for what is loosely
called the business Of life" Yet this
business of life" includes little that
makes living sweet. Is the aim and
end Of twentieth century education,
then, to become again the same as
that Of primitive man, the sole enlight-
eminent of whose darkened intellect
was in the direction Of obtaining sub
sistence?
