As Albert progressed, however. the old

the result of its heavy load and a wheel

The marshal of Brighton soon passed

vehicle was loaded down with nothing
less than 700 pounds of brass. The old
woman was sitting on a bell, trying to

their journey.
So the marshal merely waited and can

INDUSTRIAL HOME
IN WORKING ORDER
SALVATION ARMY WAGON BEGINS
ROUNDS AND WASTE PAPER
WILL BE BALED AND SHIPPED
TO NORTHERN MARKET.

The Salvation Army Industrial home
is now reality and has taken its place
as part of the moving and hustlins
city. Yesterday six men were given en-
ployment, lodging and food. This num-
Der will be increased as the days pass
Early in the morning the Industrial
home wagon. drawn by healthy horse,
started out on Its regular calls. The two
were bought for the sum of $3.50. They
continued on the move the whole of the
day, and last night had collected good
supply.
The stuff, which consists of old cloth
ing, rags, magazines and newspapers,
will be baled and when 400 pounds, or
enough to make up car load, has been
gathered, 1t will be shipped off to the
northern markets. II,
The plan is meeting with the approval
of every one who has noticed it. The
ladies on the Highlands say 1t is the best
thing of the kind. they have ever heard
of. 1t is the plan to get the city street
commissioner to have the trash wagons
dump all the waste paper at the home,
instead of at the trash pile, and this will
add greatly to the supply.
Another important factor of the home
which is in full swing is the second hand
store. Temporary quarters have been Sc
cured at 204 South Twenty-second street,
and the ladies have been so kind In Civ
ing old stuff that the sales are already
showing up we'll A telephone call or
postal card dropped to Envoy Thompson,
the superintendent will call the wagon
to the door to cart off whatever may be
donated.
1t is believed that within six weeks
everything will be in good running order
and the home will provide for at least
fifty men. Judge Feagin has already be-
gun to turn over his inebriates and petty
criminals to the Salvation Army, and
they are Immediately put to work. At
the same time their spiritual welfare re-
ceives attention and in a short time they
may be able to get a good position out
side and be on their feet again.
The home serves as an employment bu-
reau for men who have just arrived in
the city and want to earn their bread
while they look for job. The business
men of the city will soon get in the habit
of looking to the home for workmen.
