GENERAL BOOTH
ACTIVE At EIGHTY
Salvation Army Leader Hard
at Work.
Venerable Leader Now Proposes to
Again Visit Australia in Interest
of Humanity.

LONDON. Aug 1e.-Generaf Booth, OF
the Salvation Army, has once M been
taking one OF his famous automobile
tours, which has embraced the whole
south of England. The general is now a
picturesque figure and looks much Ike
the representations in the Bible histor-
les of our childhood days of Moses and
Elias.
The strong Semitic outline, the long
gray beard, the mass of Wiry gray hair
and the keen black eyes show most
plainly that he has somewhere the
blood of the Israelite. There has always
been a great admiration for the enter
prise, capacity and power of this old
man. but in his old age his views have
broadened TO an extent which one should
never have thought possible.
Actions Speak for Themselves.
The other day. speaking at Canter-
bury. he said:
Il do not care whether a man Is a
Roman Catholic or theosophist or a fol-
lower of Christ. It is NOT his belief
care about; it is what he Is doing
whether or not he is working to make
the world better, or simply living in
idle selfshness,"
Every man who has succeeded has al
ways probably an intense. belief in
himself, and General Booth is not be
hind in this quality. He finished his adj
dress by saying:
If you will help the social work OF
the army you will have the blessing Of
the poor. the blessing of God and the
blessing of General Booth "
At the age of nearly eighty ne starts
again for Australia, where he has ac-
quired 20C90 acreS of land which the
army will gradually clear and develop
I in the interests Of the waits of the new
country. Australia needs. he says, what
Europe has too much of-people.
New System in Mind.
Since I have visited that country"
said he, Il have had in my mind a sys-
ZEN which has been long in my thought.
but which has weathered considerably
since my Australian campaign. Give
peasant proprietorships a fair chance in
England and it Will succeed" he said.
AS we'll as it does in France, TO which
think every student of sociology in
this country will say amen.

From the Deep
PVT
[Original. ]


Ny dear wife came to me literally
from out the deep. One afternoon the
mate called to me from the ~forecastle
that he saw a boat on the starboard
quarter. The events that followed in
rapid succession are as fresh in my
mind as on that eventful day, but nev-
er till now have | been completely hap
by, for not since then till now have l
been free from dread.
l ordered the vessel put off a couple
of points, and as we neared the boat |
could see that 1t was an officers boat,
probably the captains gig that had
belonged to some ship. l could see
something lying in the bottom, and as
we got the boat under our bows it was
plain hat the something was n wom-
an. She was brought aboard uncon-
scious and carried below. | gave up
my room to her and directed that she
have every attention. The truth is
that when | saw her lying on the deck
oblivious to all about her there was
something in her face that drew me
strangely to her.
AS soon as she was provided for |
and | examined it. 1t was an old boat,
and it had been so battered that | could
not read the name. There WAS moth.
ing about it to identify it. At 0 o'clock
that night the woman came to herself,
but the stewardess said that she was
too weak to be questioned. The next
morning the newcomer had revived
sufficiently to talk, but said that she
could not remember Il single event in
her past life. l had known a similar
case where a nan had been shipwreck-
ed and nearly starved, On recovering
consciousness he had, like this woman,
forgotten the past. directed the stew
ardess to search the woman's clothing
for some mark, and she found on an
undergarment the letter @. This was
all there was in the way of possible
identification.
In time the woman came on deck
and sat wrapped in blankets, revived
by the fresh air. Fol the want of a
better name we called her Miss Query
She was about twenty-five years old,
but whether she had been married OF
not of course we couldn't tell. Not all
of us considered her pretty, but to me
there was something infinitely more
engaging in her expression thar Nero
beauty, an expression rejecting some
great past grief. | took her into my
heart, and she has kept her place
there to this day.
We had picked up Miss Queery not
far out of New York on Il voyage to
the Pacific and Japan. l insisted on
her making the ship her home until
we returned to America, for, in the
first place, l loved her, and in the sec
ond common humanity forbade my
leaving her in a foreign country to
shift for herself. She had no other
course but to accept my hospitality anG
completed the long voyage with us.
Our return was one persistent plead
ing that she would become my wife
She resolutely declined on the ground
that she might have a husband. IL

vain l argued that the chances were
that one Of her age was not likely tG
have been married. She said she would
not take that one chance. At the same
time she gave every evidence that she
loved me. Indeed, the fact that we
must be separated by an uncertainty
was as great a grievance to her as to
me.
Before sailing on another voyage l
discussed with her what course we
should pursue. l proposed that we
take action to discover her identity.
Then If she had not been married our
course would be plain. If it came
out that she had Il husband living,
she could choose between us.
Your past life is blotted out" | said
land there is no law to prevent your
marrying whom you like" To this she
replied, Suppose after marrying you II
should come to my knowledge that
had a husband, would you consider it
my duty to leave your Certainly
not" | replied. IF you knew today
you had Il husband living, Il husband
identified With that past obliterated
life, and married me, l would not
blame you"
This ended the argument, for she
gave her consent, though the marriage
was to be of the Scotch order, simply
mutual pledges in presence of wit.
nesses.
Three voyages my wife made with
me, during which we were both su
premely happy. At times | noticed a
dread cross her brow and knew what
she feared. But | laughed at her fears
and assured her that on the high seas
nothing could part us.
We were stopping at a hotel between
our third and fourth voyages. One
morning my wife took up Il morning
paper-she always scanned the papers
when ashore-and, suddenly CHANGING
at her, | saw her SILVER with some in
tense emotion. As soon as she had col
lected herself she said:
at has all come back to me-" And.
handing me the paper, she pointed to
an item giving an account of the kill
ing of Richard Quinlan, a s%eafarin2
man, in Il drunken broil in a sailors
boarding house. MY husband!' she
exclaimed. lie was drunk when he
put me in the boat. | had lived II life
of horror with him and was glad when
he sent me ont on to the ocean to die"
So it was that the name of the m2n
she had once dreaded brought back all
at once an existence that had been a
blank for years. Her father and moth.
er were living, and she at once started
for the New England village where
they lived. She found them wei and
returned, after Il brief visit, in time ta
sail with me. MARTIN PEASLEY.
