I ONE OP IIOXESDALE'S JJEAUTIFUIi HOMES AND NORTH I'AUK. Urged "Faster" In His Motor Mission ary Campaign Why the Anti-suicide Buroaus Were Founded Could Tell a Good Story to Make a Point. The death of General William Booth, founder and head of the Salvation Army, removes the grand old man of tho world. Yet HO Weil luicl Ida wnrfc bcen done thnt tho army Itself will uoi lkj appreciably nfTectel by his re moval. Seldom has one in.in In own lifetime built up an institution so numerically strong ln all parts of the world. Many anecdotes are told of tho dead lender to illustrate his many sided chnrnctor. In discuBsing tho untl-sulcldo bu reaus of the army he once said: "Kindness nnd charity nre factor of thoo bureaus. The charity will bo of tho right kind, I trust There aro, you know, two kinds of charity, und too much of it Is liko tho barber's. "There was a poor deacon In War wick who had no money and neoded to bo shaved, and he went from barber to barber, but none of Mi his holy oflleu, was willing to shnvo mm lor notiiing. "In the end. thouch. ho fnmui n hnr. hor who, on hearing his tnlo, said gruffly: " 'Sit down there ln that chair.' "Suddenly the barter's ii adjacent room not up a terrific howling. '"Bo still, there! cried th And ho muttered anxiously, 'What enn inoy Do doing to hlmr 'Alas,' said tho deacon. 'I nhnnliln't wonder if some one was shaving him out of charity.' " Needed No More Prayers. On another occasion General Booth wna talking to a New York reporter. "Are you saved r he asked suddenly. The young man flushed, staminonxl and hesitated. "Well," said tho general, "do not despair. There Is a chance oven for Now York reporters." Then, discussing nrnrer. General Booth told a story, a story with a moral. "There was a rounit clorirvman nn- pointed to a small country town," he began, "nnd a short time nftor his ar rival a horsy looking man in loggings stopped him on tho street ono day, uowcu respectfully and said in a trem ulous voice: " 'If you plcaso. sir. would vou mind next Sabbath offorimr un n hit of n prayer ror Milly Doan?' "Tho minister, of course, assontotl The man, whoso look was worried and naggaru, took leave gratefully, and on tho next and tho two following Sim. unys Mllly Dean was prayed for from tho pulpit "Then ono afternoon tho man In loir. glngs met tho minister ntrain.

'No; Bile's Just won tho Bltio Itlbbon handicap by a length and a half.' " An lnstanco of tho tiro and feverish anxiety of General Booth to compress as mucn work ns possible into tho closing years of his ministry was pro- vidou on his missions bv motor. "Faster" was tho -word that Impelled tho general ever forward, nnd it In in be feared that ln his anxiety to carry the messago Into the remote villnces tunt nre still off tho train track ho did not always observo tho speed limit iro rrequentiy exceeded thlrtv miles an nour. When his chauffeur was gettlnir all ho could out of tho engines the cen- eral's cry was still "Faster!" Tho car was capablo of thirty-flvo miles nn hour. That did not satisfy him. no always wanted to move quicker. Ho would sit on tho front 'seat bv tho driver, -whispering every now and again, "j'-nstcr!" Precepts For Longevity. Seven pithy preceptu for the attain ment of old ago were given by General Booth In explanation of his surprising activity and vigor. Ho snld: "Eat as little as possible. Tho average man ents too much. Instead of nour ishing his body ho overtaxes It, com pelling his stomach to digest more food than It has enpacity for. "Drluk plenty of water ln prefer ence to adulterated concoctions. Wa ter is whoiesomo nourishment. Take exorcise. It la Just ns foolish to develop tho mind and not tho body as it Is to develop tho body and not tho mind. Terform some mnnunl la bor; dig, walk, chop wood or, If you can talk with your -whole body, why, men talk, but do It with all your might "Abstain from indulgences which overtax tho body and iujuro not only ourself, but the generations thntcomo after you. "Ilavo a purposo Jn llfo that pre dominates nbovo nil else; that is bene ficent to tlioso about you and not to your own greedy self alone.
