DEUTER IN PRAISE OF WILLIAM BOOTH

Local Salvation Army Ensign Twice Met Commander of Organization. ' LIVED AS PREACHED Received No Salary and Always Was Deeply Interested in the Poor. News of the death in London of the Rev. William Booth, aged 83, general and commander in chief of the Salvation Army, was received with deep regret by Ensign Deuter of the local poet. General Booth died at London ilast night at 10:13 o'clock from the effects of septic poisoning which followed an operation for the removal of a cataract in his left eye. Ensign Deuter met General Booth twice. "Fourteen years ago," said Captain Deuter, "I met him at my home in Detroit, and was at once impressed ith his simplicity and frugality. At a 'banquet given in his honor by the Detroit Commercial club. General Booth spurned the rich viands offered him, waving them back with the request for a cup of tea and a plate of toast. ' I saw him again ten years ago at New York where I attended a five days' conference of the army. His last j words to the conference are still ringling in my ears. 'Whatever you do, live for those who are less fortunate than you are and raise them to the highest level.' This was General Booth's ideal. Was a Remarkable Man. "I believe that General Booth is recognized as one of the great men of the age. Few men have lived to enjoy the fruits of their work as did General Booth. He saw the Salvation Army enter the shadows of the great cities, dragging out thousands of outcasts and inspiring their lives with high ' ideals. "General Booth excelled as an organizer and an executive. The late Catholic Cardinal Manning said of him, 'He is one of the most remarkable men I have ever met. He would have excelled as a great general had he followed a military career.' " Captain Deuter said that he believed General Booth led such a simple life that 400 sufficed to pay for his wants annually. General Booth received no salary from the Salvation Army, hfs only recompense being the return of his traveling expenses. Thirty years ago an English family left him a small amount of money in trust, and Captain Deuter believes that the former commander used this instead of drawing, from the Army treasury.

entering upon their fourth year in charge of the Army's work in this city, and while progress has been made along most lines, its work is somewhat crippled by not having a building of its own. However the Ensign expects in the near future to have his hopes materialize in the shape of a suitable Army building. The Army's finances have increased each year which has made it possible to increase Its charities accordingly. To the various lodges, factories, merchants and interested private parties the Army is greatly indebted for their generous contributions of cash, clothing, groceries, etc. Last winter having been an extremely Ions and severe one, the burdens thrust upon the Army were naturally heavy, but Ensign Deuter is glad to be able to say that no worthy applicant had to be turned away.

Wanted His Money Back. A young man had taken his wife to a show, and as there was no one to look after the baby they had brought It along. It cried lustily all through the first act. At the close of the act an U3her came down the aisle and informed them that if they could not keep the baby quiet they would have to go to the box office, get their money back and go out. They succeeded in squelching the baby, and all went well for a time. Then, five minutes after the last act had commenced, the young father leaned over and said, "How do you like the show?" "Rotten!" was the reply. He was silent for a moment, and j then, leaning over again, he whispered: "Stick a pin in the baby." Everybody's. Carnegie's First Library.

ERIN'S ANCIENT KINGS. Untimely Death Was the .Rule For Monarchs of Old Ireland. 'Tis ould Oireland can bate them all. begorfa, when it comes to talkiu' of kings and coronations! For there Mas probably a king of Ireland when Noah was building his ark. There certainly was one in 1300 B. C. To be sure, though, Ireland's ancient monarchs mostly came to unhappy ends, either dying of the plague, being assassinated or killed in battle, says London Answers. For instance. King Lughaidh, who reigned in the second century, was killed by being thrust through the eye with a spear during a conspiracy. His successor, Feargus, was assassinated by order of the next comer. CormacTJlfhada, who. however, was merely choked to death by a fish bone at supper. "Slain by his successor," indeed, was the fate of very many Irish kings, but of Congal Ciomnaghalr, who.died in G93, it is simply but eloquently recorded that he "died suddenly." He was a "cruel persecutor of the Irish church." In 308 King bathy was killed by a thunderbolt, while King Connor died of grief in 837. And one of the greatest of them all, the valiant Brian Boroihme, was assassinated in 1014 while at prayer after he had defeated the Danes at Clontarf. It is hardly surprising to learn that four of Erin's kings resigned their crowns to become peaceful, cloistered monks. The Wise Bride. "Yes, the girls gave the bride a commiseration shower." "What in the world is that?" "Why. they all told her how sorry they were she was going to marry such a man as the coming bridegroom." , "That must have hurt her feelings." "No. it didn't.

The Dispatch. Columbus. Ohio THE CLOCK OF DEATH. It Was the First Astronomical Timspiece Made In England. The clock at Hampton court palace derived its unpleasant title by reason of a superstition that whenever any one loug resident in the palace dies the clock immediately stops. It is of record that wbeu Anne of Denmark, the queeu of James 1.. died the old timepiece was striking four and that it stopped almost before the last stroke Bounded. Since that tinia it is said to have repeated this grisly proceeding each time a royal personage withiu its jurisdiction died. At any rate, the clock has an interesting history quite aside from this. It was the first astronomical timepiece made in England, beinjj constructed in 1540 for Henry VIII. Thirty-two years ago it was brought out of a shed wlierelu it had lain neglected for nearly Ualf a century, and by order of the then secretary of the office of works it was re-erected in the courtyard opposite the entrance to the state apartments. There Is historical evidence to the effect that It was built by one Nicholas Cratzer. a German astronomer who came to England at the invitation of Cardinal Wolsey. This old timepiece tells the hour, the month, the day of the month, the. position of the sun and the number of days since the beginning of the year, the phases of the moon and its age. ! the hour at which it crosses the merid ian and the time of high water at London bridge. The time required to wind it is half an hour every week. The weights have a descent of over sixty feet Harper's. ' The Penalty.

Kidney Trouble Vanishes GAINED EIGHTEEN POUNDS

Some time ago I was troubled with what the doctors pronounced to be floating kidney. I was completely run down and so weak and exhausted that If I did my housework one day I would have to stay in bed the next. I doctored with several physicians and they all told me that my kidneys would never be well. I decided to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and found that I got relief. I continued the use of Swamp-Root and today my kidneys are In fine shape and I am enjoying the test of health. Have gained eighteen pounds, and feel as well as ever in my life.
