GENERAL VIM. BooTH, founder
and commandment chief of the Sal
walton Army, who died in London
August 81, was one of Gods Noble
men. The work to which he de-
voted his life was the grandest work
that ever man engaged III. His zeal
IN persuing that work, the deep SIN
cerity of his efforts, his liberal sym-
pathies and his high courage in con-
fronting and conquering the many
and great Obstacles in his path, gain
&c for him that success which it is
permitted few men to attain in this
life; and 80 firmly did he establish
himself in the hearts of the great
mass of common people, that his
memory will forever be held in
sacred reverence by them.
General Booth battled for the
Lord. All his life he waged a cease
less war against the powers of evil.
His policy was ever to strike at
the root, the foundation of the forces
which drag humanity into the depths
OF vice and iniquity. He sought al
ways to help those who needed help
most and in dong so he recognized
no social dead lines, no class dis
tin tlons, no prejudices. And

THERE is honor among convicts.
The fact has been established be-
yond doubt in many of the states
where prisoners have been permit
ted to show their worth. One of
the latest experiments was tried by
the prison officials of Idaho. Ten
prisoners were allowed to work at
making hay on a farm several miles
from the prison for ten days. Only
one guard accompanied them and he
was unarmed. No escape or attempt
to escape was made. After the crop
was harvested the prisoners return
ed to the institution, immensely
pleased with their outing. The
guard who accompanied them says
the prisoners got the crop in quick
er and better than the hired hands
on the surrounding farms.

Beautiful Sebastiana," Marie
Van Vorst's novelette, in September
Lippincott's, is aptly described as "a
striking story of love and adventure
IN Sicily at the time of the great
earthquake.'' The story opens with
a scene in pensione at Messina
which introduces both of the male
characters in the double love story;
Dentwater, young American tour
list, and francesca, the Sicilian wait
er. The time is a year before the
great Messina disaster. The scene
is but an introduction, but as it
closes Dentwater stumbles upon the
tragedy of Francesco's life, the story
Of his struggle to win the beautiful
Bastiana. Some one has just told
The Sicilian that his beautiful maid
IN has fallen prey to the lure of |
