The Jew counts t a disgrace yr not to

The Jew counts 1t a disgrace not to take care of at least his own kindred, and would feel himself deeply ashamed if he did not bear the burden of his poor relation. In addition to this feeling of family responsibility, he cannot look with indifference on the poverty of members of his race, he must exert him. self to see that a helping hand is ex- tended to them. And Jewish philan- thropy is wise to degree wise anu ready; the helper does not wait til too late to give the lift needed, neither does he make pauper of his beneficiary.
 A student that has made careful study of social conditions in Chicago says that of all the philanthropic schemes that obtain here none seem so admirable as that followed by the Jews of Chicago. When they find case of poverty occasioned by loss of work. after relieving the immediate necessities of the household and having found out the character of work for which the wage earner is best fitted, they either obtain some regularly paid employment for him or else set him up in business for himself, taking a note payable at some distant date. In most cases they are repaid their outlay, and have the pleasure of knowing they have helped family to help itself.
 The Jews are greatly interested in helping the young; in putting them on their feet, and in providing protection for them when helpless. There has just been dedicated in this city home for Jewish friendless and working girls. new institution built and endowed by Chicago Judaism. It is an institution modelled on broad humanitarian lines; and, as an illustration Of the active in- terest of Jews in philanthropic work, on the day of the dedication of this place, plans were already under way for mak- ing immediate additions to its accom- modations. The Jew. at least in Chi cago, opens his pocketbook wide for charity.

people needing assistance.
 We are wont, in our comfortable homes, in prosperous portions of the city to forget that the other half is just over there somewhere; that a few blocks off, as 1t were. cold and hunger are things of real meaning; that there are townspeople of ours that actually never get quite enough to eat are never thoroughly warm from December to May. that lack sufficient clothing to brave the take spurts of doing something in the way of relief work. but in the intervals of sloth the hungry go unfed, the cold unwarmed.
 Just the other day the newspapers told of an ex-convict's desperation, his poweressness to keep up the uneven struggle. A young fellow. but 26, when discharged from the Joliet prison, he de- termined to go no further in career of crime. came to Chicago and tried to get work He could find no work, he had no money; so the line of least resistance was to lie down and die.
 On the same day two other cases of suicide desperation were reported, the cause in each inability to get work. So even in these fat times. these days of continued prosperity. we must realize that the old prophecy yet remains true the poor ye have always with you. And the occurrence of the occasional trage- dies makes the city man conscious that his whole duty is not done when he pays over to the organized charities his tithe. or whatever may be the propor- tion of his income dedicated to benevo- lence.

 Is it the just-closed season of giving that is still influencing, or is it that New Year resolutions are bidding us be good at least in the first days of the oppor- tunities of 1905?
 Whatever the impelling motives at the hour of writing our big town seems to have thrown of her sometime cloak of indifference and donned the broad mantle of charity. The boulevard dwell- CT now is not wholly absorbed in ma terial comfort and prosperity, in self ish indulgence; he and she appear to be concerned to very considerable degree in efforts to give some one else beside themselves at least taste of the good things of life, in efforts to bring cheer to the ailing and afflicted, in efforts to protect youth and helplessness. An in stance of the general charitable inten- tion, We note the following (some just over, some soon to bel large occasions planned for the relief of the necessitous: At the Illinois theater, the recent bene- fit for the Passavant Memorial hospital, an institution old for Chicago, founded in 1865, for which society women under take to provide the extras" reaped s goodly harvest; the affair being attend ed by society in full force, and, though noted actors and actresses obligingly did stunts perhaps the chief interest of the afternoon was centered in the young society women selling programmes in the foyer. The Cribside society lately obtained, through the kindness of Mr. Burton Holmes and the popularity of his "Travelogue," neat sum for their pet protoge, the Children's hospital. Early in February there is to be great con- cert in the interests of the juvenile court, a Chicago experiment in which there is evidenced widespread interest.

A IEcENp OF LAUGHTER.

There is a poetic legend that Psyche,
troubled at heart, went to consult a
wise woman about trait in the char
acter of Eros which caused her I'm
easiness. FaIteringly she told the story
of how the ambrosial plumed boy had
entered her window in the darkness, re-
lated how winged love had nightly
companioned her. how he had stopped
from his high estate to court her, sim
pie maiden though she was. and yet
that was the crux Of the whole plant
vet he laughed at her; laughed at her
simple maiden moods, laughed at her
trembling joy, laughed at her wish to
see his face, laughed at her love.
Those of you who know the story will
remember the affectionate Gliding Of
the old mother; remember how she told
poor, fearful Psyche that the littleness
which made the god laugh was the very
thing which bound him in the bonds Of
love; told her that he must ever love
her the more the more she made him
laugh. Love and laughter! Have they
not been coupled since the world be-
gan? The heart beats faster, the blood
courses merriIy through the veins, the
world shows fairer, the beloved one
shows fairest of all, and, catching a
hint of the infinite joyousness of things,
the ultimate happiness of one day to
be perfected creation. the lover laughs.
Laugh like the gods, the laugh of one
who is supreme and knows himself to
be so, the laugh OF one who is young
with the ichor Of immortality in his
veins, of one who is changeless. time

However. those days are long since
gone by when Eva Booth made and
won, as always. her fight for the right
of Salvationists to hold open air reli-
gious meetings. She took the matter to
parliament and had it settled there.
Miss Booth was at the head of the
school that trained women for army
work. Next the whole management of
the army's work in London was put
into her hands. At length about nine
years ago she was sent as commander
in chief of the army in Canada. While
there she opened Salvation Army work
among the miners of the Klondike and
along the Yukon river. She herself has
been to the Klondike and inspected the

pleaded with the town authorities, Wis

gained her point not only for Torquay,
but for all other resorts where the army
wished to go.
Next came the bitter fight alike of the
tough element and of opposing theoIog-
ical denominations to the open air reli-
gious meetings Of the Salvationists.
Whatever ingenuity could devise to
break up these meetings was done. Vic
toria was queen in those times. and her
majesty herself seemed not to have
much use for the Salvation Army. At
any rate, the period at which Eva Booth

BOOTH
COMMANDER OF THE SAL
WALTON ARMY In AMERICA

Evangeline. or Eva, Booth was born
in 1865 on Christmas day. She is very
slender and not tall. looking so delicate
that the wonder is how so fragile a
body can support one with schemes so
lofty and all pervading. The little lady
has dark brown hair, very curly, which
she wears short in beautiful, clustering
locks around her face. Her eyes are
hazel and uncommonly bright
Why Evangeline Booth, a woman,
and one who weighs no more than 100
pounds, should be chosen to administer
the affairs of the largest number of Sal
walton Army workers IN any country of
the world can be judged from the
things she has done.
When a child in short dresses she
went about the slums of London selling
the War Cry the Salvation Army's pa
per. She sang hymns on the street cor
ners. She has a sweet, powerful nezzo
soprano voice and plays the harp and
banjo. when she first spoke in public
she was so little she had to stand upon
q chair or box to be heard. She speaks
of herself as born into army work"
At first the marching Of the Salvation
lists through the streets of London with
tambourine and drum, singing their
songs, sacred words set to popular mu-
sic hall airs, and wearing their striking
uniform, aroused bitter opposition, es-
pecially after the part the Salvatlonists
took in uncovering a great scandal in
London high life.
At this time Eva Booth, still a young
girl, put herself at the head OF a band
Of Salvation women and marched
through the very worst slums OF Lon
don singing the army songs. The brave
lassies were mobbed. Briclbats were
thrown at them; they were struck with
sticks and fists; they were showed and
hustled. They were getting the worst
of 1t. A little more and there would
have been bloodshed, possibly actual
loss of some OF the brave girls lives
Masculine creatures Of the slums of
European cities are not chivalrous to
women.
At this moment the presence Of mind
of young Eva Booth saved her and her
women soldiers. The leader of the mob
was a particularly rough and tough cub.
He took the lead in shying sticks and
broken bottles at the girls. Suddenly
Eva Booth stepped UP to him and de-
manded that he should protect her and
her girls from the assaults of the mob.
The request took the young rufnan so
by surprise that he stopped instantly
his ferocious proceedings. He ordered
his band Of rowdies OF and himself es-
corted the girls home to their quarters.
It almost looks like some kind OF spe-
cial interposition Of an unseen power.
But there is more to the story, and a
very interesting part. Some time aft
erward, through hard work. excitement
and exposure, Eva Booth fell very i'll
and came nigh unto death. Then this
thing happened: One day a youth came
TO the door of the Booths home, bring
ing noble bunch Of hothouse grapes

peoples souls through first saving their
bodies. She says:
