full blast.
At any rate, "in some manner un-
known to John Knox and every one
else" says the Peoria Star, "he lost his
balance and fell out of the window"
He must have been affected by the
Peoria outside fresh air. Midway be-
tween the first and second stories he
struck in his descent. a wooden plat
form.
This broke his fall, we are told, but
he went through 1t and landed on the
ground. Upon recovering himself he
found that nothing except his fall had
been broken. On the contrary he felt
better than When he sat on the window
sill. His mind was clearer, and as he
reasoned the thing out he became con-
vinced that the fall had lone him good.
Next day John Knox, looking sur
prisingly well and feeling remarkably
cheerful, appeared on the diamond and
distinguished himself by making some
exceptionally good plays.
1T is the wonder OF all aware Of the
accident" says the Star, that he was
not killed or seriously injured" But in
reality the wonder is that anybody
should wonder at anything hat hap
pens in Peoria.

marriage with the daughter Of the gen

Of work in India. by which the Saliva

The commander himself has walked bare

formerly member of the ruling class
The commanders first visit to this coun-
try was marred by an unfortunate Incl
dent. Disguised, he visited a number
Of low lodging places to find out their
actual condition. For some reason the DO

arrested. Steve Brody, the bridge jumper
went his bond, and he was discharged in
court. This was in 1896, when he came
| to take charge Of the American Salvation
Army.

Omaha Bee.

The recent visit of the venerable, but
still energetic, leader Of the Salvation
Army, with Commander Booth Tucker and
the members Of his staff, has stimulated
public interest in this grand old man of
the uniformed evangelists. General Booth
is one of the men of the day, a leader of
mon and a unique and interesting figure.
While in Omaha the general explained
how the name Salvation Army came to
be used. At the time when the army was
first assuming form in his mind and to the
others working with him, there was a great
interest in the forming of volunteer corps
In London. 1t was the custom of General
Booth to print large posters announcing
his meetings with catch lines to attract
the attention Of the public. One of his
compatriots had written out a copy for
one Of these posters which he showed to
Mr. Booth for his approval. The head
line, making use of the volunteer popu-
larty, read. "A volunteer army for
Christ" The general looked it over and
then runnig his pencil through the word
''volunteer," substituted Salvation The
author of the poster liked the change;
alrs Booth liked it; the general liked it.

work which he had chosen to do. At the
very beginning of his desire to enter the
ministry he suffered a nearly fatal i'll
ness. After a slow recovery he went to
see the old family physician, who said:
1.-THE life Of Methodist minister will
cut short your career, if you try to take
it up, and you will shortly be before q
tribunal where you will answer for COM
hitting suicide"
But the impulse was stoo strong to be
resisted. and the general went ahead. His
first efforts, however. among theSf loWly
must have been rather discouraging to
himself, and many less determined per-
son would have probably decided to let
existing conditions remain. The young
fellow had become interested in the work
of Wesleyan chapel at Nottingham With
a party of earnest young men he set out
| to work the highways, Open-air meet
ings were held and professions led down
the Goosegate. with the result that the
chapel soon began to fill up with mot
ley crowd of tatterdemaions. Booth and
| his co-workers were enthusiastic, but one
day the good old preacher of the chapel
with a worried look on his face, drew the
energetic young man aside.

Il wanted to- ask you, Mr.. Booth
know you won't take offense at this-if
you and the other young brothers couldn't
manage to bring your people in at the
back door at chapel and seat them in the
rear, where they won't be so noticeable
to the-er-more respectable members of
the congregational"
His Recruits Not Welcomed.
He first allied himself with the Yves
leyans but found that he was not very
welcome and could not work along the
lines he wished. The reformers were in
too unstable and divided condition, on
the other hand, to appeal to Booth with
his high sense of organization. He also
had some thoughts Of joining the Congre-
gationalists, but finally decided upon indie
pendent work. Later on he became the
preacher of small Reformed chapel in
London, at stipend of $3.50 year
Shortly before this Mr. Booth met Miss
Catherine Mumford who later became his
! wife. The first meeting occurred at a
gathering where an enthusiastic, but UNI
wise partizan, forced the general to re-
cite, among party which did not number
many temperance advocates, a poem
called the 'Grogseller's Dream In the
heated discussion which followed. Miss
Mumford championed the general so
strongly that a mutual admiration
sprung up A wedding did not follow for
long period of difficulty and indecision,
during which the general was once re-
duced to a 12-cent piece which he char
acteristically gave to an invalid girl.

AppropriatIng Popular Airs.


The use of popular airs by the Salvation
religious fervor, was a startling innova-
ton. 1t is said that the practice began
in England a number of years ago in
this manner: Captain Baugh wrote some
verses which seemed to fit the tune of
"Champagne Charley better than any
other. The matter was brought to the at
tentfon of the general, but he was dubious
OF the effect of using a tune which had
had such associations, and finally vetoed
its use. At a meeting shortly after, a song
was called for, and some person struck up
TINS new song. Enthusiasm was reused.
General Booth was pleased
why, that is a pleasing tune. What is
it?' 40
THAT is Baughs new song, set to
Champagne Charley" was the reply,
We'll" said Booth, 1--WE want all Of
that kind we can get''
Commander Booth Tucker was. before
joining the army, a magistrate in the In
dian civil service. His connection with
the Salvation1sts was brought about in
this manner: Some one sent a COW IF
the War Cry to Australia to a friend
who. in turn. inclosed it to Calcutta. from
which latter place it finally came into the
hands Of Magistrate Tucker wrapped
about something sent from the market
MIR. Tucker happened to pick up the sheet
and mediately became interested. He
had never heard of the army before. He,
finally resigned from the civil list and
went to England to join the general. Later
he returned to India, with others, to start
the campaign in the empire.

the first instance, intended to be nautical
rather than military, and was meant to
catch the eye of the Whitby fishermen;
the; subsequent addition of the other mil
itary titles was a matter of necessity. 1t
became essential to define the position of
the assistant evangelist, and what more
convenient term could be found than that
of lieutenant? Elders and class leaders
were no more and some substitute was
necessary. Sergeants and sergeant ma
iors just met the difficulty.
The rapid increase Of the work made it
advisable to group the stations into dis
tricts. under the charge Of the most expe-
rienced evangelist. A distinguishing title
again became a necessity. The clerical
catalogue had been abandoned as insult
able. Hence it appeared advisable once
more to have recourse to military phra-
sociology, and the major and colonel were
accordingly introduced. AS to my title

before he finally reached a position where
he could see his way to success in the
