FINEST BABY HoPITAL.
Ward in New York Post
 Graduate Hospital.

Harry Beardsley in Leslie's Weekly.
 So probably the finest hospital for children in the world, the babies ward of the New York Post graduate hospital. is an interesting place from more than one point of view; and it is still more significant of human charity that those who receive the direct benefit of this, which is considered the most costly and best equipped institution on earth for healing the ills of. children are the very poorest children of New York City. The babies ward of the Post-gra duate cared for and healed there are from the poorest quarters of the city, and the ward Is supported by some of New Yorks most wealthy women.
 Some of the methods in this hospital are absolutely unique. In the babies' division are two departments. the sur gical ward and the medical ward. In the first are the children upon whom ojerations have been or are to be per- formed, and in the other are the chil- dren whose illness requires no surgery. In the former are children from two to seven years old, and the inmates of the latter are mostly very young infants. some of them of premature birth-tiny, emaciated, and unnatural looking.
 The finest childs hospital In the world has another provision which should not be overlooked, for it is boon o moth CTS When an infant too young to leave it's mothers breast Is taken to the hos pital the parent Is permitted to remain with her child without cost In a special ward devoted to mothers and their ba- bes she sleeps in a cot alongside the white crib of the child. As long their babies are confined in the hospital the mothers live there too. They take their three meals together hair a dozen of these women, all wearing dresses of the same sort-a uniform not unlike that of the nurses. And when the children are well enough to be taken from their beds the mothers carry them in their arms to a beautiful recreation room at the top

A great deal of interest is being mani fested in the coming visit of Commander Booth Tucker of the Salvation Army in i the United States, who will visit Birming ham March 12 and 13 Accompanied by 8 dozen or more commissioned officers of the Salvation Army majority of whom are stationed in New York. Commander Tucker is making a tour of the principal cities of the south.
 The party will arrive in Birmingham Saturday, March F, and the next day Sunday-Commande Tucker will deliver two lectures at the Jefferson theatre. The first lecture Love and Sorrow" will be at clock and the second, Life Work of Consul Emma Booth-Tucker, at s o'clock. Both lectures will be illustrated with stereopticon pictures.
 Commander Booth Tucker is man with history as picturesque as it is remark able.
 Though born in India. he was on the pa- ternal side of an old family of English gentlefoIls, while on the maternal side he traced his ancestry back to the old no- blesse of France one of his brand oomte de Lautour, having been guillo- tined during the revolutionary terror.
 It was characteristic of the family, no doubt, to have part In public affairs. Com- mander Booth Fuckers grandfather had been prominent in the great East India company's government, and it was only natural that the grandson should be ed- ucated with a view to the public service. At an early age he entered the Indian civil service, passing through grade after grade of office until. while yet a young man, he was appointed assistant commissioner In the Punjaub, a position equivalent to that of an assistant governor of one of the provinces of northern India
 Both socially and politically the position was one of capital importance. The as- sistant commissioner maintained in a sense, a small court he was surrounded with servants, underlings and hangers-on, all eager and emulous to do his bidding, and had he so chosen he could have lived the life of an oriental potentate, full of ease and luxury.
 Frederick St. c. de Lautour Booth Tucker was of a different mind. He de- liberately put aside the temptations of fiummery and as a genuinely Christian gentleman used his best endeavors to i'm prove, to uplift and chrstianze those over whom he had authority.
 More man once. from his governmental superiors. came an intimation that any att tempts on his part to 'proselytize" the natives were undesirable-an intlmation altogether logical far as the Anglo Indian government was concerned, but

INDIAN AGAINST INDIAN.
Terrible Battle in Which Band of
 Sioux Was Wiped Out.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
 One of the last survivors of the enemies of the Sioux is Ye-on-Gesic, now passing his hundredth birthday. Eighty-iive years ago the Sioux tribe. which invaded the west and entered the plains of Iowa and Dakota, sought to dislodge the Chip pewas from the timbered country in Min nesota and Wisconsin. They nearly ac- complished this 'undertaking,a owing to overwhelming numbers. They made fre- a1ent incursions into the Chippewa coun- try. and many sanguinary battles were fought. eliminating in the massacre by the Sioux of settlers in southern Mime sota in 1862.
 Sixty years ago Ye-On-Gesic was ia nous chief and warrior of the Chippe- wa tribe, and he tells the writer of the last great battle with the enemy west of the Mississippi river. He says:
 Tt was when we were encamped on the Yellow, Bone and Devils Lakes that quite large party of Sioux were report ed coming up the Yellow river from the St Croix to battle with the Chippewas. Our chiefs believed they were only scouts sent forward to reconnoiter. At that time

INTEREST AROUSED IN
 SALVATION ARMY LEADER

1 full of thought for the young commis- sioner, who. however, continued in his work regardless of what might be the con sequences.
 He was pondering this question when one day there feh in his hands copy of the War Cry, now so well known the world over. He read and re-read 1t until 1t was frayed well-nigh to nothingness; then he acted upon conviction. He secur- ed six months leave of absence from his duties, and, going 10 England, spent the entire time in studying the Salvation Army, it's methods, it's means, it's ration- ale. it's results.
 As overjoyed as astonished, he made his choice. There were those, not alone of his class but of ais blood, who tried in every way to dissuade him; 1t was use less, he had, as he was convinced. found his place, and now, God helping him, he would assume 1t.
 The whole world knows the result of his choice. Throwing over, utterly resigning the post he held under government-one which. already dignifying. must ere long have led to higher things-he returned to India as mere. commonplace worker in the Muktifauj (Salvation Army). He who had but a few brief months ago met the ceremonious salaams of all classes now came back to them to wear the yellow turban of the Salvation Army, well-nigh SS COntcHpllDl6 dS lHdl Oi tHc DcBBin5 fakir; to take his place among them that for Chrst's sake he sought, who in by gone time had held him in reverence.
 Barefooted, scorched by the blistering sands, burned by the tropical sun, this man who had once Yuled his thousands of interiors, now went about among them, upon their charity, and everywhere leav- ing behind him a new conception of life and mighty possibilities both for the pres- ent and eternity.
 Came then rare great soul out of Eng land to join him. For wooing he won Emma Moss Booth. and once they were welded they set to work together to meet the crying need of India. For. several years they carried on phenomenal Chris thanking work among the Hindus. from one end of the country to the other; then, transferred to an important post at the Salvation Army international headquar ters at London thev remained there until seven years ago. when they were given command of the Salvation Army work in this country.
 Not only by heritage by practice, by custom. but as wei by the gift of an in- born genius Is Commander Booth Tucker equipped with the power to conduct and enlarge the mighty work that he is now so capably administering. When the his tory of our country in the early days of the Twentieth century is written up, the name of Commander Booth Tucker should be found prominently among those that have wrought great good.

I was an amateur warrior. When the en- emy was reported within the country l was given charge of a band of young men numbering forty-nine and directed to in- tercept the scouts of the Sioux. For that occasion l was made a chief. It was the proudest moment of my life.
 With the young Chippewas under my command I started down the Yellow river. All my men were anxious for ad- venture. For two days we watched for the enemy. but saw no signs. On the morning of the third day my scouts re- ported large war party of Sioux just landed south of Yellow Lake. Within an hour my men had been surrounded.
 Suddenly I gave the Chippewa war cry, and the battle began. It was a terrible battle. lasting until the sun was high in the heavens, and there was no more life in the woods. My party numbered less than twenty-eight when we were through. Today I am the sole survivor There were no Sioux left. All were dead.

Des- chanel kept the professor in the back ground, and sought as lecturers to be in- geniously informing, interesting. and even entertaining. He had no need to try to be seductive. A more graceful being never held forth in lecture room. and he cer- tainly found a mine of wealth--if wealth be synonymous with enjoyment in the play of his mind wit. and fancy, both when he studied and expounded His deep scholarship In the branches of literature he dealt with. and his delicately search ing criticism. at once sagacious and in- tultive. placed him among the highest at the College of France.
