Bramwell Booth of the Salvation Army.
(New York World.)


 So enormously has the Salvation Army grown that most people find it hard to realize that the career of the late Gen. Bramwell Booth covered it's entire history At sixteen in 1872, he was made manager of some cheap-food depots by his father, William Booth, then obscure street evangelist. Eight years later his father adopted the name and plan of the Salvation Army and almost immediately made Bramwel Booth his Chief of Staff. The son was second in command while the organization spread through the world and when the founder died in 1912, the inevitable successor in control of of the most powerful religious and phan- thropic organizations of modern times
 It is hardly too much to say that the Salvation Army is monument equally to William Booth and Bramwell Booth The chief fame rightly came to the former, the intense, self-inspired, ndomtable prophet pursuing visions with little for prac- tca details. Long ridiculed, that figure with the hook nose, flowing beard and piercing eyes lived to make a conquest of the world. But in the back ground during the years when the Army being built up the son, a quiet sagacious man of business, gifted in organization managemnt and finance. As the Salvation Army has grown it has shown natural unwieldness and tendency toward division. It is to be hoped that it can now find leadership equal to that of the two diverse men who made it's greatness.

sPORTsMANSHIP PROVED.

Those fellows who backed and operated the French plane Yellow Bird proved themselves to be good sportsmen by the manner in which they treat ed that young stowaway They not only took care of him and bought him an outfit of clothing but they let him in on the receptions, etc, and he was sent home on the Leviathan in style. And this was in spite of the fact, it is claimed that his presence on the plane made it necessary to throw overheard fuel that would have carried the plane through to Paris on a nonstop flight The flight was technical failure for the reason that the plane was forced down the Spanish coast on account of the exhaustion of the fuel supply and was compelled to make two flights of the trip from Old Orchard Maine, to the French capital instead of the one that contemplated

AMERICAN SPORTS IN CANADA.

victorians writing to the Colonst of their cit! complain that Canadian papers give too much space to American baseball and other American sport and not enough to the English cricket games. Some o them ask that the American sports be eliminated and the English sports exploited.
 The Prince Rupert News rises to remark:
 Possibly there is ground for com plaint at the kind of news that IS furnished here but it must be remembered that we are very close neighbors of the United States that great many Of the people In British Columbia American or of Am erican extraction and that most Canadians are more keenly interested in the big league baseball results than in English foot ball or cricket.
 In the boxing world the championship has been held in the United States so long that it is difficult to remember when it was otherwise Contestants who wish to enter the ring for the world crown and the big money come to the States. Schmeling is there now and is putting on the finish ing touches of his training on this side.
 But the people of the country want base ball news, hockey news, lacrosse news, box ing news and if the Canadian papers do not supply them they will buy American The English people are trying their best to become Anericanized why should Canada hold back?
 The fact is that Canadians play more baseball than any other outdoor sport. There are quite a number of International Leagues in which there are both American and Canadian teams Interna- tional matches of frequent occurrence. Ketchi- kan and Prince Rupert engage in baseball con tests several times year. Likewise, in the past at least, Skagway and Whitehorse It is quite nat ural that Canadians would take a lively interest in American sports.

More or Less True

mOEe or LeSS true When some girls get away from two-hour sitting in front of a mirror they don't look as if they had accomplished any more than a husband does after a two-hour ar gument with his wife If the umbrella was as big as a circus tent a husband knows his wife still would bawl him out for holding so much over himself and letting her get wet.
 A girl these days doesn' thave to lift her skirt when crossing a mud dy street or even have to raise it to adjust her garter.
 Nobody seems to be enjoying life quite as much as an intelligent man who is being made a fool of by a pretty woman.
 The impression some wives give us is that they want their husbands to be everlastingly putting their hands in their pockets, while they never want to put their arm in the dishwater.
 Long hair will probably bring back the switch that is hung on the dresser, but it would be a heap better if the one that was kept behind it was to play a return en- gagement.
 At that, it would be easier to make postage stamp that has lost it's stickum cling to a letter than to make the man who falls in love with every pretty face he sees, stick to one wife
 The company probably doesn't en- joy fathers old chestnutS any more han mother does, but she is the only one impolite enough to look like they were giving her cramps.
 Just offhand we'd say the only
 ling that can make people as un- popular as halitosis is little knowledge.
