GENERAL BOOTH WEARS DEATH

London, Aug 19.-General William Booth, head and founder of the world wide organization of the Salvation Army, whose health has been slowly giving away since he was stricken with blindness last June, is reported to be in a grave condition General Booth was eighty-three years old on April 10 last and because of his ad Vaneed age little hope is held out for his recovery. Nevertheless prayers for a continuation of his useful ca reer are being offered up in every Salvation Army station in all parts of the world. General Booth is the son of a Nottingham carpenter. He chose preaching for profession, but his syn 3athy with the poor took him to London and in the slums of the East End he started the work that has de- yeloped into an everlasting monument to his memory.

SCHFPPS SAFE IN
 NEW YORK JAIL Police Tried to Kidnap Him But the Attempt Was
 Sad Failure.
HE GIVES THE DOPE"
More Money Found to the Credit of Lieutenant Recker-PrOmOtiOn
 In Department.

New York, Aug. 19.--Sam Schepps, who is said to have been the paymas- ter of the gang which killed Herman Rosenthal, was rushed into tue West Side police station prison today after two attempts to kidnap him had been made by the New York police Schepps has not been formerly arrested but is held as a witness. District Attorney Whitman met Schepps at Albany On the train two detectives made de- mand for the little gambler in the name of the police department. Mr. Whitman replied that he would in- dict the first man who laid hand on Schepps and the detectives left the train.
 SGhepps was taken off the train at the Grand Central station. At Forty third street Captain Gillen and De- tectives Bietrick, kauser, McM;ahon and Gallagher, all Central office men, attempted to drag Schepps from taxicab, but Whitman interfered and the gambler was brought safely to a cell ill the same balcony with Louis Libby and Jack Sullivan, better known as Jacob Reich.
 On the way from Albany, Schepps l talked freely with the District Attor- ney. At the close of this conversation MT. Whitman said: When Schepps came before me, l said to him, 'Schepps, tell me your story in plain language, no frills and no jokes' He proceeded to do so as best he could have secured all the corroboration of the confessions now in my possession that l expected. This will clear up. and strengthen several vital points
 It was learned that Schepps admit ted that he saw the murderers paid for killing Rosenthal He declared that he was fully familiar with all the details of the murder plot. He ac- cused Police lieutenant Becker of be- ing implicated in the plot. His state-. ment is said to support perfectly that Iof Rose, Webber and Vallon, on whose confessions indictments have been asked for from the grand jury
 Representatives of the District At torneys office today discovered $15,- 900 deposited to the credit of Becker. This brings the total deposits of Beck CT up to sS3,0OO. Fourteen bankers have been summoned to appear before the grand jury tomorrow in connec- l tion with these deposits.
 1 Surprise was expressed on every hand today when Detective Lieutenant John J. Gray was promoted to cap- taincy by Commissioner Waldo. Gray was in charge of the five detectives who allowed Sam Schepps to escape from Bridgy Webher's gymnasium at Fallsburg in the Catskills and 1t was supposed he would be denoted and tried for failure to do his duty. Gray's defense was that he did not know Schepps by sight and he passed the blame directly to Deputy Police Com missioner Dougherty.
 l Commissioner Waldo today made q request to the budget committee for increases of salaries of Police offi- clals and patrolmen amounting to more than $4,OOO.O0O yearly

is NOT THE ONLY
ESCAPE FROM LONELINESS
FOR THE COUNTRY GIRL

young daughters activities, the world Is
generous enough 20 offer her q way out
that does not mean the sacrifice Of the
most precious thing in life to her.
Heart Answer Right,
It doesn't hurt a young woman who is
not needed there to try her wings out
side the home nest. The city looms big
and bright TO the country girl. City
people seem to her wonderful and privi-
legged beings, who have nothing to do
but have q good time. She pictures
their lives crowded with gayety, and her
own little life, far from the crowded
marts, looks very drab to her.
The very best thing for her is work
among the people whom she has envied
and q closer acquaintance with the con-
ditions under which they live and work.
The picture changes for her swiftly.
The hills and fields OF her birthplace
seem to her very close companions and
not at all the drear and lonely places
she thought, at the end of her first
years work in the city.
To my correspondent ] am glad to be
able to say that loneliness in the coun-
try will not compare in intensity with
the loneliness that will live in her heart
IL she marries just to escape monot-
onous life.
Your heart says no." my dear.
Be true to its answer.
For its answer is true to you.

The Basqued Blouse.

Little blouses OF embroidered lawn or
any light fabric are, like the new silk
coats, revIving the old style Of having
the basque outside the skirt instead of
under it, a girdle Of silk cord confning
the blouse a little above the waistline,
and so giving the desired short-waisted
effect.
These blouses, which are usually cut
in the Magyar fashion, are exceedingly
simple to make, and any one who is
clever with the needle can embroider the
'front.' sleeves, and round the yoke. 1t
Is better to do this after the blouse has
been cut out, so that the pattern may
be placed just where the embroidery is
wanted.
For house wear a blouse Of this sort
would look specially smart If made of the
same material as the skirt, or at least in
the same color. Soft silk or dyed shan
tung could be worn with a cloth skirt
and embroidered in self color in a con-
ventional design with girdle TO match
For the guimpe cream lace or tucked
net always looks well. while the fash
ionable gold or metallic net appeals 10
some tastes.

We reap I'm return for our sowing,
And not for mere dreaming OF gains;
The winds that are fitfully blowing
Across the billowy planes
VIII bring us no shiploads OF treasure.
Unless we have ships TO return:
The world gives us measure for measure
And hope for the hopes that we earn.
The world gives Joy for enjoyment
That we have the grace to impart;
The heart Is soon out Of employment
That ceases to gladden. some heart;
The pleasure and profit Of living
Are sweetenede by effort and zeal;
The world gives us gains for our giving,
And not for the empty appeal
