The lost day of the convention of the National Retail Druggists' Association was marked by addresses from repre sentatives of the large proprietary firms and communications regarding the direct contract plan. Several prom inent manufacturers Indorsed the plan and agreed to abide by It. A motion to pay Jhe chairman of the executive committee was withdrawn after Its author had, as he said, suc ceeded in drawing the attention of the convention to the value of the services of the present chairman, Simon N. Jones, of Louisville. The convention was enthusiastic in its praise of Chair man Jones’ services. • Thursday afternoon the convention will elect Its new executive committee and officers. So electioneering* has been In evidence, and it Is not expected that there will be any strong contests for the offices. The present secretary and treasurer will be re-elected. At the close of Thursday’s session the convention will adjourn. The vis itors will be given a smoker at the Kimball Thursday night, at which Polk Miller, the well-known druggist, banjo player and lecturer, of Richmond, Va., will la* the principal entertnlner. President Bresllp called the meeting to order at 10:20 o’clock. Several communications were read, urging a concerted movement for Sun day rest, or selling as little on Sunday as possible, except necessary drugs. They were referred to the resolutions committee. An Invitation from Niagara Falls to hold the 1907 convention there was re ceived. Milwaukee and Atlantic Ulty also sent an Invitation. They were re ferred to the executive committee. The auditing committee reported that the treasurer’s records were In good shape. The committee stnted that It was unable to ascertain whether the secretary's accounts were correct, as several changes in bookkeepers had been made during the year, but no doubt as to th? correctness was ex pressed. The employment of a new auditor was recommended. The finance committee rejHjrted that It had Investigated the receipts and disbursements of the year. It recom mended prompt remittances from local associations. It was recommended that no change-be made in annual dues. The committee on form of organiza tion recommended a number of changes in the constitution and by-laws. These provide Tor an official auditor to be paid by the association. The amend ments were Indorsed to be finally adopted nt the next convention. Dr. Muir, of New York, moved that a salary of $1,000 a year be paid the chairman of the executive committee. This was opposed by others, who urged that the chairman would desire no sal ary for his services. Dr. Muir deliv ered an argument in favor of a salary for the chairman, whose expenses were necessarily great. He amended his motion to ask for an appropriation of $1,000 a year to cover expenses. The motion was finally withdrawn. Pert ideates of membership were dis tributed among the delegates In order that votes for tin* election of officers might be prepared. Mr. Beardsley, of the Milos Medical Company, addressed the convention. He stated that the direct contract serial number system was working satlsfac torlly with his firm. It had brought a healthy increase In the trade. He stat ed, however, that until the decision of the suit before the United States oiirt Is heard, it would be foolish for proprietors to take up the contract system, and this was the reason the plan had* not been given greater sup port. V. Mott Pierce, of Buffalo. N Y.. pro prietor of the famous Pierce remedies, addressed the meeting. A telegram from Dr. Munyon was read. The doctor says he will take up the contract plan. Mr. Talbot, of Plso’s Cure, stated that his firm had adopted the contract plan SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS WILL BEGIN CONFERENCE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON Beginning Thursday afternoon the Sunday school workers of Atlanta will confer with each other and with sev eral workers from other cities on the best way of conducting the various departments of the Sabbnth school.

Cain had on a pair of rubber-soled shoes, which deadened the sound of his walking. At the time of his ar rest he was on the sidewalk In East Pine street. The officers found In his pocket a letter, believed to be from his mother, advising him to lie low and not to let anybody know his where abouts. Another circumstance that causes the police to regard the young man with suspicion was the finding of the photograph of a house, a residence, and also a memorandum book, making certain references to this house. Two porches are shown In the picture and each Is marked by a cross. In the memorandum book appears an entry explaining that tile porch marked by one of the crosses Is the hiding place other porch marks the hiding place of two additional boxes. Where this house of mystery Is lo cated and what Is contained In the five boxes Is not stated, but Is some thing the police would like very much to ascertain. In another pocket was found a num ber of 45 calibre cartridges, but n* pistol was found. Three bottles of Ink and some other drawings, which are a puzzle to the police, were also confiscated. After examining this strange outfit, Officers Pearson and Hood were con vinced that Gain was up to no good and that he Is probably wanted In some other city for crime. He was then handcuffed and sent to the police station. He will be held pending a thorough Investigation. He was very reticent and gave the police but little informa tion concerning himself. He stated that he. boarded at 356 North Jackson street and that when arrested he was out for the purpose of selling papers.

And in the center of this hur rying, hustling city was a large house all built of stone which held books of great valut; and a room where hun dreds of children would gather and listen to the stories told by a beautiful lady who, with her love und kindness, could hold the children’s attention for many hours at a time. once every week the children would flock to the room they called their min and would there listen to the beautiful stories about strange lands and strange people. For some time this continued until at last the summer took many of the children out of the city to the mountains and to the seashore. So the teacher and the stories, though not for gotten. were left in the big city. But after a short time the children came back to the city and it was then decided again to open the children’s room and so the following notice was sent out: Story Hour at the Library. j "The children of Atlanta will wel- ! come the announcement of a story hour *ut the library tomorrow, Friday, after noon, at 3:3o o'clock. “This will be the first story* hour since June, anil many little people have missed this weekly pleasure during the summer months. "We welcome to these happy gather ings all of Atlanta’s children, so many of whom already love their story hour.” Before the warm pleasant days o summer came Miss Henrietta Musse ling, the one who told the stories, gave accounts of the children In far off China and told of other countries. Af ter the return of the children It was decided to tell all about great King Arthur, who was a very gracious king, written about by many men and told about by many people. So all the chil dren who again will gather In the chil dren’s room will hear about the knights of the round table and how they shivered their lances and how they wooed their fair ladles.
