ON SOTH BIRTHDAY, GEN. BOOTH,
HUMANITY'S CHAMPION, CABLES
STRIKING MESSAGE TO AMERICA

energetic, white-faced, slender youth.
At once he began gathering people to-
gether in one of the London parks near
by. There was an imperious magnetism
about him that caught the careless and
held them. The crowd gathered. On an
upturned ash barrel the boy began to
talk.
Christ was the friend of the poor and
helpless-this was the simple, powerful
story he told. He had come to the world
to help them and save them. Christ said,
Come unto me all We that labor and
are heavy laden" He didn't mention those
who were idle and carefree. He meant
you and you and you. He loves you so
much that he died for your sake. He took
though SHINING, could be saved
This was the beginning of William
Booth. 1t was also, though no one realiz-
ed it, the beginning of the Salvation
Army.
The year of grace passed-a year so
busy that william Booth forgot all about
the doctors prediction. The doctor was
glad to forget it, too. For Booth did not
die. He is stronger physically today at 81
than he was at 90
Booth found a whole nation of people
whom the church didn't reach. They were
ashamed to go to church-on account of
their clothes, or their sins. sometimes
they were ignorant, sometimes defiant or
hostile. Yet they needed the church and
God more than the people who did go to
church-not less.
The devil was busy among these people.
Gods people should not be less so, Booth
| thought.
Booth carried a message of salvation to
the saloon, the gambling house, the dive.
None was too low for him to reach out
for. Wherever people needed the Christ
message was Booths pulpit
He learned that people are not wicked
because they like to be. He learned how
society throws people into the cutters
and keeps them there. How men and wo-
men sink to the depths through lack of
education, of opportunity, of help
through poverty, and the sins or wicked
ness of others. To these he carried the
message of the brotherhood.
| News of the wonderful eloquence and
power of the young evangelist spread
I through all London. People saw the thou
sands who gathered to hear him and
learned to respect him. The biggest church
of London offered him its pastorate at a
magnificent salary, If he would leave the
sums and come to them.
But William Booth said no. Without

JAPAN TO IGNORE
BRITISH ALLIANCE

VIENNA, April 10.-The Allegemeine
Zeitung, semi-official newspaper, says
today that it has been informed that
Japan intends to notify Great Britain OF
it's purpose to terminate the British
japanese alliance of 1905.
The alliance referred to in the above
dispatch provides for the consolidation
and maintenance of the general peace in

YOUNGEST PRISONER
JAILED FOR MURDER

UNION, S. c., April 1O.-Charged with
numbering a little three-year-old girl
playmate, and attempting to conceal her
body, though stoutly maintaining his in
nocence, Fred Bell, aged about six years.
has been committed to jail here, and is
the youngest prisoner ever placed in the
custody of the sheriff of this county, and
probably is the youngest ever placed in
custody of any sheriff in the United
States.
The arrest was made at the home of the
little boy about nine miles from this city,
and was brought here, and spent last
night in a cell alone, his mother not
reaching Union until today.
He is a poor, ragged little pickaninny,
but when taken in charge by the sheriff,
and ever since, has kept stating when
asked by the officials. that he did not
shoot the little girl, but that she was
killed by another little girl playmate,
who, with the dead child, was handling a
double barreled breech loading gun,
which went off accidentally.
1t seems from the evidence brought out
at the inquest that the boy, Fred Bell,
had been left at the home of his moth
err. while she, with others in the neigh
borhood, went out to the field to work,
About noon the report of a gun was
heard, and a we'll known white man, on
looking in the direction of the sound, saw
a boy carrying a child in his arms, and
put her. behind an clubhouse. When the
parents of the, child concerned reached
the scene, one of the children about four
years old named Rosa, said that Ethel
Thomas had been shot, and was behind
/ a house. The parents on investigating
found the child still alive with terrible
wound in its head. 1t died some hours
later.
The your-year-old tot says that the
boy, Fred Bell, had the gun and it went
off and shot Ethel. The mother of the
dead child on reaching the scene, on
taking her baby from Fred saw blood
on his arms, the supposition being 1t was
gotten on them when he carried the

WONDERFUL LIFE STORY OF
GEN. BOOTH, SALVATION
ARMY CHIEF, WHO Is so TODAY

Nearly so years ago a slender, pale
faced youth was walking with quick,
nervous. energetic step through the most
densely populated part of the city of
London. Swinging back and forth, pen
duIum-like, through his brain rang the
words of a physician he had just con-
suited.
You are not strong enough for pas
toral work." the doctor said. Not even
in a quiet country parish. You can't live
a year if you do. You must give it up.
You must get some outdoor work which
makes no great demands on your nerves
and BRAIN
A sentence of death-this was what
the doctors words meant to the boy.
He must die within year unless
No, he wouldn't give it up. 1t was his
work God had called him to 1t. But a
year
1t was Sunday afternoon, in a part of
the city whose vice and squalor was une-
qualed. The poor swarmed the street.
There was noise Of drinking men and
vulgar women. Sin, which accompanies
poverty and helplessness and indifference,
was rampant.
A coarse-faced woman jostled against
the slender youth. Come out of the
clouds, boy" she said, and laughed.
u WILL" said the young man. He
wasn't speaking to the woman. Hardly
\ to himself-unless TO some inner con-
| seriousness. He looked around him,
thinking fast, and with intensity.
I've got a year. so his thoughts
/ ran hotly- I'll make it a good year,
won't bury myself in any country parish
nor any city one-those people have
many to help them-right here in Lon

.hey resisted the advance of the white
man into the land of their fathers. Tom
and John wycliffe. two Cherokee out
laws. have just been tried by the white
mans law and found not guilty.
Though those four years of pursuit
include at least one pitched. battle, and
the death of three or four men, the
wycliffes. when they got tired of the
endless struggle. arranged for their sur
render to justice with all the cunning
OF a civilized bank wrecker.
First. they stipulated that the surren-

between between the state officers and
the two outlaws. When all was ar
ranged the two Indians rode into jail
with gil the honors of war.
The wyckliffe family got the name of
bad Indians as early as 1903 when the
Cherokee lands were opened to settle
ment by the whites. Old John Wyck-
life, ST.. chief justice of the Cherokees,
was the leader of those who protested.
War dances were held. The tribe grew
FESTIVE. At one Of the dances at which
some white men were present, a full
blooded Indian was stabbed to death,
and others, white and red, were seri-
ously injured.
United States Marshal Darrough, fear
ing dangerous uprising, sresolved on a
bold stroke. He sent one of his deputies,
J. H. Vier, out with warrants for old
John wyckliffes three sons, Charles,
Tom and John.
The old man refused to answer Viers
questions. The federal officer grew an
cry then, according to accounts, and
struck the old man over the head with
his revolver. Three Infatuated young
braves rushed from the old mans quar-
ters- There was a scuffle, and ex-
change of bullets and Vier lay dead,
while three young Indians, now fugitives
from justice, were riding away like mad
in the night.
Since that time II has been the am
bition of every sheriff and deputy Unit
ed States marshal to take the three
Wyckliffe brothers. But the three bore
charmed life. They Joined the Might

murder. Still they seemed immune from
capture.
Then Chas. Wyckliffe died. He was
found shot to death. The two brothers
said it was accidental. Other Indians
in the tribe spoke of a quarrel between
Charles and John over a girl There
were no witnesses to the shooting.
Chas. Wickliffe was the leader of the
brothers. After his death the other two
had more trouble evading the officers.
Besides they were tired of their long
war. They opened negotiations for sur
render.
In the district courts here, Judge
Pitchford instructed the jury to find
mot guilty for the brothers in the case
charging them with the Gilstrap murder.
He held that they had not been identi-
fled as belonging to the band who shot
the marshal.

FATHER OF TWINS FLEES
WHEN HE LEARNED NEWS

CARTERSVILLE, Ga, April 1O.-Mrs.
James d. Jordan living on the Alderman
place in the edge of the city gave birth to
two bouncing baby girls on Wednesday.
Mother and twins are doing well. There
is one very peculiar incident in connec-
ton with the birth of these twins, it be-
ing the fourth set of twins born on the
Alderman place within two years.
Shortly after the arrival of the little
girls Mr.. Jordan became panic-stricken
and took to the woods. He was last seer
several miles in the mountains northeast
of the city, telling a passerby that he was
on his way to South Carolina. Mrs. Jor-
dan will pay a liberal reward for his safe
return.

who were taking their lands. The coun-

Some members of the might Hawks"
were apparently peaceful. These, how
ever, raised provisions for the warning

horses and supplied the sinews of war.

and two of his men fell, stricken from
their horses, while the red men poured
a merciless fire down on them from

drew back, got achievements, then adj

found Gilstrap dead, the other two in a
critical condition.
With Gilstraps death the chase for

BY GENERAL WILLIAM BOOTH,
Commander i'm Chief of Salvation

LONDON, April 10.-After spending 80
years in this world with almost countless
opportunities for observing the purposes
for which men generally live, and the dis
appointments they so commonly suffer- II
seems reasonable that I should have
formed some opinion as to the course they
ought to follow If they are to have any
real success.
So on this my eightieth birthday, on
this eve of the resurrection festival, tell
the American people that If they will seek
the honor of God, the reign of righteous
ness, the welfare of the friendless poor
and the riches that endure forever with
the same self-sacrifcing avidity with
which they seek the wealth and pleas
ures of this world, they will have good
chance of finding that life of satisfaction
which now so often eludes them, and OF
building up a pattern nation for the
world to initiate.
