The Army itself held big meetings in every city and town where It Is established, and these were participated In by hundreds of thousands of other citizens who were glad to do honor to the distinguished philanthropist.

He said that for years be was the chief clerk of the Anthony photographic supply house in New York city. He could not remember bow he left New York, but he knows that bis next place of employment was Chicago. Childs associated photographic supplies with the firm. His health failed, he said, and he went to the Moody Institute. At one of the meetings, he said, something seemed to snap and his next recollection was bis arrival in Milwaukee. He bad no memory of how he happened to get to Milwaukee, but said he recalled the date, March 6, when he was wandering In the snow, trying to remember who he was. A tolegram from New York stated that Childs last was heard from In Chicago before be found Milwaukee. His mother, Mrs. M. I Childs, Is living with a brother, William P. Ellery, of Hackonsack, N. J.

For 15 minutes the other day It was an open question whether George Tillott or Roxy, an Irish terrier, was general foreman of the Long Island railroad's trolley system at Huntington, L. I. Island railroad Roxy Is the mascot. He formerly belonged to William H. Baldwin, Jr., president of the road, and after Baldwin died the dog was adopted by every man In the service who wore a uniform. The reason those In civilian dress did not adopt blm was because Roxy would have nothing to do with them. Tillott, not knowing Roxy was there, started to go Into the main office of the trolley line New Year's day. Seeing he was in plain clothes, and deeming him an Intruder, Roxy Immediately stood on guard and showed by his savage barking and display of white and well set teeth that there would be trouhlo If the foreman per slsted In his purpose of entering. Tillott tried to coax the terrier. The animal did not know blm, and not until the foreman had gone back to the trolley tracks and got a uniformed man would the dog permit him to enter his own office.

In America the day was marked especially by the launching of another of Gen. Booth's original schemes for octal reform in the United States. At every post of the army was announced the beginning of work to found a University of Humanity, a great institution for the training of workers in social service. The university will be divided between New York and Chicago, and It Is expected to begin with a fund of f 1.000.000. The gathering or this fund Is the work that the army, now enters upon in commemoration of Its famous leader's completion of bis eightieth year. As a stone In the great organizational structure that William Booth has been building during the past 47 years.; this Idea or a school for the systematic training of his workers has been In his mind for several years. On his last visit to the United States the general made his first tentative announcement of the plan. S'nce then he has worked out many of the details and he has Just consented to the beginning of preliminary work in this country where the need for. trained workers has been especially great Growth of Great System. It is perhaps not generally realized that tho whole Intricate modern machinery of civilization for the uplifting of the submerged tenth, the vast system of charities now so essential a part of modern life, Is to a very targe extent an outgrowth of the Booth idea. He was the first to sec that tho unfortunate could best be reached by those who had suffered as they had, and that they must be reached by practical worldly help before they cotild be prepared to begin the cleaner life. It was the Salvation Army which first made a practical working success of this now familiar "mlsBlonury principle of work." This whole plan of campaign for raising the fallen began on a very simple scale In the poverty-strickeand crlmolnfested East end of don nud under the impetus of Willlnm LlootYs singular force of mind and personality and the momentum that it has gathered with almost ttilraeulous rapidity It hat developed luto a truly astonishing organization. much-neede- Some of the departments of Its work are: Prison-gatand Rescue, Inebriates' homes. Boys' and Girls homes, Farm ' colonies. Emigration, Naval and Military homes, Maternity homes, nursing, Samaritan brigades: hospital and benevolent visitation, police court work and Indian school training. No other religious organization In the world's history has branched out into so many departments of philanthropic effort and absorbed them as part of Its religious duties. . Need of Trained Worker. The scheme for a University of Humanity grew naturally out of the development of thj 20 other departments. With a iield as wide as the world Itself the work of the Salvation Army Is only limited by the number of workers that can be secured and Its effectiveness by the understanding and earnestness of these workers. As uplift work has grown from local efforts to help a few Into a great Inclusive movement which must miss none, the problems of organization have grown greater. Charity has become a science and Its application an art requiring the highest development of personal qualities of Insight and altruism. There Is thus pressing need for workers of quite exceptional These qualifications must first of all be inherent and must then be developed by experience and special training. This Is the new work planned by Gen. Booth. Those women, for Instance, who are to go among the slums of the big .cities must not only have the desire to help but must know how real helpfulness can best be secured. They must understand by a Btudy of practical sociology something of the social forces that create this poverty and crime and wretchedness. They must understand the danger of the unwise charity that merely Increases dependence and understand the value of better living conditions in raising the moral courage of those to whom fate has been unkind. Tbey must be ab'e not only to correct home conditions themselves but to Impart their knowledge and to Inspire with a desire for betterment. Value of the Organization. This will be but a small part of the university's training In social service as planned by the patrlurchal evangelist, but It serves to show of what value such an organization will be. Of the general'a plan for the university he himself said recently: "I want to train men and women to deal with misfortune. I want them Instructed to combat with the weaknesses and sins of the drunkard, the criminal, the pauper and the would be suicide." At 80 years of age the head of the Salvation Army, after more than hnlf a century of almost unceasing activity, Is as vigorous and untiring as at any time In his career. The Inexhaustible vitality and Intellectual and physical activity of this social reforemr. philanthropist, preacher, author and traveler are marvelous.

William Booth was born on April 10, 1829, in Nottingham, England, and was trained for the Methodist ministry which he entered and became one of the strongest evangelistic forces in that church. He grew dissatisfied, however, at reaching only those with some religious training and conviction. He felt that there were thousands whose need was far greater and he gravitated to the East end of London where wretchedness of all kinds was the rule. In a disused burial ground on Mile End road he pitched an old tent and the first Salvationist meeting was held in that tent in 1861. The fiery the earnest young eloquence of preacher caught the attention of a crowd of poor Whltechapelers and before that first meeting was over he bad made several conversions, a performance that he has been repeating throughout the world for 47 years. How He Started the Army. This first meeting resulted in the formation of the Christian mission, from which it was Ihe evangelist's custom to send his converts to the existing churches of the locality, , but finding that they were not welcomed and were in danger of slipping back from sheer want of comradeship and oversight, he set about forming of the converted. These be found to be a potent agency, for bringing In more, as the heedless EaBt ender could be Impressed by the words of a former "pal" when he would not listen to a minister. So was created the central Idea of the Salvation Army. The need oi organization becomes apparent,- but several methods were tried with little success before Gen Booth hit upon the military Idea and named his organization the Salvation Army. From that time on the movement grew amazingly and It has continued to grow without ceasing to CA LI FORM A ft c. $25.00 Lake Route now selling Colonist Sal Tickets, above rate to San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Los Angeles, etc. Call on nearest agent. A Great Lord Cromer, the great l of Egypt, In writing of missions in that land, says in his greet work1, "Modern Egypt": The missionary, the philanthropist and social reformer and others of the same sort, should have a fair field. Their intentions are excellent, although at times their Judgment may be defective. They will, if under some control, probably do much .good on a small scale. They may even, being carried away by the enthusiasm which pays no heed to worldly prudence, effect reforms more important than those of the admlnstrator and politician, who will follow cautiously in their track, and perhaps' reap the result of their labors. l. Spread Over the World. The movement began spreading to other countries of the world in 1881 when It first reached the United States througb the Influence of a who had emigrated from Coventry, England, bringing with him the Salvation Army idea and a strong desire to continue In the work. It reached Australia In the same year through a milk dealer from Stepney, and soon afterwards the first Canadian corps was organized In a similar fashion. Five years later, In 1886, the general made the first of many visits to the American branches of the army and he has seen them grow from a few small corps Into a veritable army of tremendous influence and unsurpassed efficiency. His first, great world-tou- r was made in 1891, when he visited South Africa, Australia and India. Since then he baa visited the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India four times.

Gen. Booth Honored. One of the most remarkable of the many tributes paid to the general by the great of the world was that of the mikado of Japan during the visit to that country. The mikado personally received the general with great warmth and be was accorded remarkable ovations in Yokohama, Tokyo, Sendal and Kyoto, a circumstance of strange import when It Is ' realized that Japan Is not a Christian country. Another Interesting distinction given Gen. Booth was the conferring on him of the degree of doctor of civil law by The significance Oxford university. of this honor will be better understood when It Is stated those who received university honors with him at the time were Prtnce Arthur of the prime minister of England, the lord chancellor, the speaker, Sir E.

"Blue Hen's Chickens." Capt. Caldwell, who commanded a Delaware regiment in the revolution, was notorious for his love of cock fighting. He drilled bis men admirably, and they were known In the army as "Caldwell's game cocks." The gallant captain held a peculiar theory that no cock was really game unless It came from a blue ben, and this led to the substitution of "Blue Hen's Chickens" as a nickname for bis regiment After the revolutionary war the nickname was applied Indiscriminately to all Delawareans.
