Founder of the Salvation Army.
LONDON, Jan. 13.-Realizing
that at his age he cannot expect to
carry the burden of the Salvation
Army on on his shoulders for many
years longer, General Booth has
now made all arrangements that
his son, William Bramwell Booth,
shall be his successor.
Little is heard of the "chief Of
the staff"-to give Bramwell Booth
his official title. With uncommon
modesty and self effacement he has
kept himself in the background and
left the limelight to his father. AS
a matter of fact, for many years
now he has been the man behind
the Salvation Army.
He has wonderful combination
of gifts, seeming to have his
fathers shrewd business percep-
ton and aptitude for organization
and the deep sympathy and ability
for reading character of his mother
He is over six feet high and is of
military carriage. He is very deaf.
Sorrows which have come upon
him during the past few years and
the responsibility of directing the
whole of the operations of the army
throughout the world have turned
his sparse hair prematurely gray,
although he is only SO years of age.
He has hand upon the minutest
particulars of the Salvation war
throughout the, world. A cabinet
minister once said of him that he
would be worth $4,000 year to
any one of the great English adj
ministrative departments.

LONE HOMESTEADER
ATTENDS SUICIDE
A Lone Bachelor Out in the Hills From
Kenmare Tries Suicide BY Slashing
His Wrist and Throat With
Razor.
(Kenmare News. May 2o.)

A homesteader named Sibonius Swan
son living on claim out in the hills
country, made deliberate attempt to
kill himself some time last Friday
morning. A brother who lives few
miles distant happened to go over to
the shack belonging to Swanson, about 5
o'clock in the evening, and ON opening
the door horrible sight met his gaze.
Lying on a bed was the form of man
literally covered with blood, his throat
cut almost from ear to ear, and the
left arm slashed open near the wrist,
penetrating to the bone.
! On approaching the bed, the visitor,
to his astonishment, saw the man move.
He attempted to get up, but was too
weak.
Hurriedly the brother left the house
to summon assistance. and as soon as
the telephone could be reached, medical
aid was called, two physicians going out
from Kenmare in an auto.
Swanson returned with neighbor TO
the shack, where they were again con-
fronted with azmost unusual and ghast-
" sight, the suicide having gotten out
of bed and met them at the door. He
tried to make them understand that he
intended to'die, it being found that he
had cut into his windpipe, which made
articulation almost impossible.
The physicians arrived about an hour
after the alarm was given, and the
man was temporarily bandaged and
hurried to Kenmare, being placed in ST.
Johns hospital, where the physicians
and nurses did everything possible to
save the mans life. The man was
given every attention, and it is thought
he will recover from the effects of his
rash act, although he will probably
lose the use of the left arm, as the
cash, which was with a razor, penee-
trated clean through the flesh into the
bone.
Swanson was induced to make a
statement yesterday regarding his at
tempt to kill himself, and while it is
with difficulty that he speaks, we learn
ed that he had been in some trouble and
worried over it, SO decided to kill him.

morning, and thought could bleed ito

suit Of Criminal Operation, Has Mel

(Minot Independent, May 2O.)

L. w. Dale. the betrayer of Gina
Lein, who is now out on $40, 900 bonds,
charged with murder in the second de-
gree, in connection with her death in
this city, claims to be a man without
work and without money. He visited
the Office Of Judge Goss last Saturday
afternoon, and asked the Judge to ap-
point an attorney for him, stating that
he had spent all his money, and his
friends had lost faith in him, and he
could not depend upon them for any
financial assistance. Owing to his un-
enviable position at the present time,
Dale stated he could find no work.
Judge Goss looked at the fellow in
surprise when he petitioned the court
for an attorney at thecounty's expense
and stated that while, he would place
the petition on file, he would not at this
time grant the request, but might con-
slider it at future date. He advised
Dale, however, to get out and work and
earn money with which to defend him
self. The Judge told Dale that it
seemed queer that he had friends will

June was dedicated by the Romans to
love and marriage, and was therefore
named for Juno, whose experience was
thought to more nearly typify that of
the average married woman than any
thing that had happened up to that
time.
Juno married Jupiter, one of the best
and most exemplary of gods, giving
him her simple trust and all the rope
compatible with reasonable enjoyment
of liberty though married. Neverthe-
less, they had not been married long
enough even to feel sure that they were
suited to each other, when the bride
made the terrible discovery t h t
the co-owner of her wedding presents
and the man who was to flag the family

not with goddesses as it is with wom-
