A BUSY WOMAN
IS MRS. BALLINGTON BOOTH OF THE SALVATION ARMY.
Sheisa Hard Woman to Interview- -Has Found by Experience That Visitors If Ad- mitted Would Take Up All Her Time.
The wife of Commander Ballington Booth, a v&man who enjoys the scmewhat unusual distinction of belng second in command of a large and thoroughly well equipped army, is on her way back from the Pacific coast to the National Salvation heaqduarters in Fourteenth street. She is expected on Thursday next.
Things have been running with toler- able regularity at the headquarters during the month that she has been away, but ic is not denied, either by the rank or file, that she has been seriously missed.
Everybody knows this sweet faced chief lady of the Salvationists, Her photographs bave had a large sale. It will probably prove of interest to many persons to learn scmething of her daily habits and duties when at her post as Vice-Commander of thie large and remarkable semi-military organization.
In the first place like every other im- portant military commander, she can only be reached by the general public through her chief aide or military secretary. It would seem toone who listens to the sym- pathetic addresses Vice-Commander Booth is so fond of delivering, that it would be the easiest thing in the world to get an in- terview with her next day. There’s where the repentant, ungodly person is fooled. Mrs. Booth is as difficult to see as a mem- ber of the President's Cabinet or a metro- politan theater manager.
The office she occupies in the new Sal- vation Army Headquarters building, is spacious and handsomely furnished, but it can only be reached through an ante- room in which Staff Captain and Private Secretary Vickery is established.
Miss Vickery, who belongs to an aristo- cratic New England family, joined the army as a private several years ago, great- ly awainst the wishes of her family. She is now twenty-five years of age, and isa remarkably comely and attractive young woman. She ran rapidly through the vari- ous grades of private, corporal, lieutenant and captain, and finally became chief aide to Mrs. Bovth.
No private secretary, whatever the work of the chief, 1s called upon to exercise greater diplomacy in dealing with crowds of people than is Miss Vickery. She has & sweet voice and gentle manner and is able every day to turn away hundreds of people who clamor for an interview with Mrs Booth, without offending them.
The chief piece of furniture in the room occupied by Mrs. Booth is an enormous ouk desk. It stands in the cen‘er of a light, high-ceilinged apartment the floor of whieh is of slate, One or two rugs are scattered about, but not in sufficient num- bors to hide the cold stone floor. A large picture of Commaneer Ballington Booth ornaments one of the walls. It isin this apartment that Mrs. Beoth puts in long business hours six days out of the week, and there are few men or womenin New York who are more busily emplored. Her home is at Montclair, N.J., but she is sel- dom later than 10 A.M. in reaching head- quarters.
For an hour or more thereafter she is occupied with an unusually voluminous mail.
People write to her on all sorts of sub- jects, from all parts of the country. and she makes a point of opening and dictat- ing replies to all the letters she receives. No writtes communication is too simple or too silly to fail of recognition and an- swer by this remarkable woman.
If callers could be as quickly disposed of as their letters, Mrs. Booth would see every one who calls, but she has discover- ed, like many other eminent persons, that to attempt to receive all visitors would loave her no time for other work. The tip may be freely given that anybody who wishes for a word from this remarkable woman will do well to seek it through the medium of the mails,
It is a madest little house that ehe and Commander Booth occupy in Montclair. Newspaper reports have credited Mr. and Mrs. Booth with the ownership of a large estate and the possession of horses and carriages. As a matter of fact, their home is most simple and unpretentious. Their only live stock is chickens, and the chicken- house was built by Commander Booth himself. He is also the only gardener on the estate.
An admirer of the Booths in Montclair recently offered to present she Booth chil- dren with » team of goats and a goat car- riage, but Mrs. Booth declined to receive the present, on the ground that it would be sure to be magnified into a coach and blooded pair of horses and might hurt the cause for which she and her husband are working.
Mrs. Booth, although she looks like a gir’. is the mother of two children—Wi_°lie, seven years oli, and Theodora, aged three. Notwithstanding her work as second chief executive officer of the Army, and her many and frequent contributions of edi- torials to the War Cry, Mrs. Booth as- sumes the entire charge of these children. Both of them haye been consecrated to the Salvation Army, and their education will be turned solely in the direction of mak- ing them useful members in this unique Satan-fighting force.
There is not a detail in the organization and perfection of the constantly-growing army with which Mrs. Booth is not as familiar as her husband, but from the time they leave Monctlair, at 7 A. M., until they start for home at 5 P. M, they do not meet, each being occupied with a different line of work. Mrs. Booth does not even find time to go out for luncheon: it is served to her by the janitor of the building at the big desk at which she works so hard.—N.Y,. World,
Received at Court,
Jenkins describes his police court ex- perience as follows: ‘‘The next morning the magistrate sent for me. I went to him, and he received me cordially, said he had heard of the wonderful things I had accomplished by knocking down five per- sons and assaulting six others, and was proud of me, for I was a promising young man, Then he offered a toast ‘Guilty or not guilty” I responded in a brief but elo- quent speech, setting forth the importance of the occasion that had brought us to- gether. After the usual ceremonies, I was requested to lend the city $10.""
An Old Clock.
A wooden-wheel Bartholomew clock, of the kind in common use at the begin- ning of the century, was brought to a jeweler in Hazel Green, Ky., one day last week to be repaired. The old lady who brought it said it had been in her family since i834, and had kept tolerably good time, but one of the wheels had become worn out. The jeweler sawed out a new wheel with a jigsaw, and fixed up the old clock so that it ticked out the time 4s ac- ourately as ever.

In winter when Canadians spend a] large portion of their time indoors and cannot have the same variety of fresh | food as in summer and fall, indigestion | and dyspepsia afflict a majority. ‘If anybody will tell me that dyspepsia in its | advanced stages is perfectly curable,” | said a Toconto merchant, ‘‘I will take his word. Personally I run no risks. As soon as i feel a sense of weight in the | stomach, after a meal, I know that my blood is sluggish in circulation. In my business | cannot take much exercise, and | fight the first sign of stomach troubles with Scott’s Sarsapanila. Ithas never failed me, and has saved me many a doctor’s bill.”

OSCULAIO?Y EXERCISES. Every Variety of Osculation May be Wit- essed When a Big Steamer Comes in.
Right or wrong, everybody likes to see kissing—that is,every body who isn’t sour- ed on life. The sight isn’t equal to the act, but, evertheless, it is a cheering sight. ‘There are places in this city where every variety of osculatory salutation cap be witnessed several times a week.
It is on the pier when some big ocean steamship comes in that this delicious drama is played. This is the time of the year when those who have been doing Kurope hie themselves homeward, and when their brothers and other fellows’ brothers, their husbands, sisters and friends gather on the pier to welcome them, and, finding language inadequate, do just what Adam and Eve would have done under similar circumstances.
The end of the pier is packed with as happy an aggregation of mortals as can be found anywhere. Out in midstream is the big, black hulled steamer. Nearly everybody on the pier is gving to kiss somebody on the steamer, and vice versa, and in most instaness the exchange will not be limited. Pleasureable expectan*y makes everybody good natured. The crowd doesn’t mind having its toes trod upon or its elbows jostled.
Pushed and pullei by panting little tugs the ocean leviathan, itseif powerless and unwieldy, crawls toward the pier. At length she gets near enough for recogni tions to be exchanged. Handkerchie?s are waved frantically. are wafted across the intervening space. Greetings are hurled from shure to ship and from ship to shore. Everybody is in a tight place, but nobody ean keep still. Women on pier and on steamer jump and clap their hands ecstatically.
It takes ar. awful long time to get the big steamship snug alongside of the pier. It is deliciously tantalizing to those who are impatiently walting to rush into one another's arms. But it gives the mere spectator, who has no such reason for im- patience, time to observe that there are some stunning girls on board that steam- ship. The glow of health is on their cheeks an: the light of ove in their eyes, and they took their prettiest because in the excite nent they forget themselves en- tirely. The breeze toys with bangs, whisk veils aside and sets their hair adrift. But their eves are on “Tom,” or ‘*Harry,”’ or ‘“‘Charley,’’ on the pier and they are oblivi ous to such trifles. They won’t be so to- morrow; they will be just like other girls then, hut now they are different and that very difference makes them so attractive, and makes you wish that you were ‘‘Tom,’’ or ‘‘Harry,”’ or **Charley *’
The steamship is made fast to the pier at last,the pudgy tugs scurry off in search of others, the gangplank i3 swung out, and the race to get the first kiss begins.
A man starts in the lead; he is halfway down when a puff of wind lifts his hat; he pauses to clutch it and loses the race A superb brunette. with hat securel; moored, darts by, and in another moment is embraced by stalwart arms, and tw« spirit have ‘‘rushed together at the touch- ing of the lips.’’ Nor do they mind who sees it, and the spectator looks on without compunctions of conscience.
Ina moment the osculatory engagement becomes general. *It is kisses to right of you and kisses to left of ycu. Yon can’t see them all, can't see one-tenth of them, but the regret vanishes when you recoliect that it will be practically repeated two or three times a week for a month to come, so that you can come again and see what you missed the first time because nature limits you to one pair of eyes.
All the world loves « lover—or ortght to —and naturally the kisses which lovers exchange interest one most. There is something about them—the look which accompanies them, the blush which ac knowledges them—by which they are rec- ognized and classified. But perish the thought that they are the only kind of kisses worth seeing. There an old man, with the snows ef winter on his head but eternal spring in his heart, kisses a white haired lady. And the way he does it and the way she receives it and returns it tells a story cf mutual devotion and loyalty _that has stood the test of two or mora, and makes you feel like taking off your hat.
There are kisses between mothers and their children, and brothers and s'sters, and giris and girls—sweet and v-holesome to look on, and sufficient in themsel ves to make a misanthrope revise his miserable philosophy aad +rcknowledge that there is genuine happinessin this world and rauch to make life worth living.
O-culation continues unrestrained for half an hour or more. There is contaion about it. It makes you feel like kis-ing somebody yourself. It almost prompts rou to go up to some girl and say, ‘“‘ Par dun me, but I am a stranger here and there is no one to kiss ne. Don't yon feel sorry, ani won't you try to me?’’
But the rules of polite society forbid it, and, if they didn't, ‘‘'Tom,’’ or ‘‘Charley,’’ or ‘‘Harry’’ would have something to say that wouldu’t be a bit pleasant
But if you are of Anglo Saxon blood there is one species of osculation you wit ness which, instead of exciting your envy, merely cvuses your risible muscles to twitch. Tat is when two bearded for eigners exchange ‘“‘plumpers.’’ Of cour-e, there is no accounting for taste, but that is a sort of taste you can’t understand Possibly it can be acquired.—New York Herald.

Faith, Hope, Charity,
**‘Without faith it is impossible to please God.’" Heb. chap, lith, vi. verse.
While faith is the fundamental princi- ple of religion, hope is the food of the soul, and charity is the honey which sweeten: the heart, and the three com- bined are the buiwarks of Christianity. As faith is essential to salvation, so also is charity necessary for the accomplish- ment ef God’s will, while. as St. Paul tells usthar, “Through faith we glory in the hope of the giory of the Son of God,’’ Vaith comes to us by know: xl ge, and is strengthened or weakened accord- ing to the guidance of passion. It is a gitt ot God, and as such should be treas- ured with the greatest care. ‘True taith begets tirm hope, and inspires an ardent charity, while all three enriches the soul, making it zealous for the honor and glory of God, and its own sanctification, makes it anibitious by its yearning for supernatural happiness, and inflames it with a Christian ardor. The Christian's duty not only consists in attaining a knowledge of God but loving and serving Him; indeed St. Paul assures us that ‘faith without good works availeth nothing,’’ so that itis just as essential to practise as it is to profess faith, and “esus Christ Himself tells us that the “teat commandment of the law is: **Tso love the Lord thy God with thy whole soul and with thy whole heart and with thy whole mind and with thy whole strength,’’ which we can only do by
; obeying Him in all things and so merit
the glory of the blessed, the end for which we wero created.—Francis S. Mitchell.
