MiSS ZINN’S TOY SHOP RUINED BY FLOOD;

HER FORMER CUSTOMERS WILL REPLACE IT
Childhood's Mecca.
Amid the Scenes of desolation thut
were caused by the freshet there Is
one, that, while It touches the poc
ket book of one person only, has prob
ably called for the sympathy—one
might say without exaggeration of I
every man, woman and child in the
city of Augusta, and that is the scene
presented by the toyshop of Alias j
Sarah Zinn.
For over fifty years has this shop
stood a rnecca of Joy to the Augusta
children. From the time they were I
able to tcddle with their nurseß, they
have stood literally on the tip-toe of
expectation to gaze with eyes streton
td wide with amazement at the beau- 1
tiful toys displayed In her windows,
and to wonder, if some good fairy
should suddenly appear to give them
the desire of their hearts, what it
should be —the big rubber ball with
its alluring sections so gaily painted,
the wonderful dollle with its sleep
ing eye, or the dear little tomb of wool
that stood patiently awaiting a pur
chaser.
There were no kites that sailed
higher than did Miss Zinn's and her
l,i ops were always afto smoothest to
roll, her Jumping ropes the easiest to
handle, while her Jack-stones and
marbles were excellent beyond all
compare. And her candles. Was
there ever candy made that was more
delicious than the old-fashioned mo
lasses candy at five cents a stick?
Almost Historic.
Alias Zinn's place is among the
points, one might say, of historic In
terest to Augustatrs. There is prob
ably not a single nose among the gen
uine Augustans of Augusta that for
all its present toplofticaJ haughtiness
has not been flattened against her
fascinating window-panes. If ail the
nlckles ft | went to those coffers

chain tha' 1 uld encompass the globe
nut nlcklilAare only nlckles and a
sympathy for childish wistfulness
made the profits small: so very, very
few were the dollars laid by There
came a time when the sales that
once went by nlckles and dimes were
reduced to pennies. Still, her wants

THE SUNDAY HERALD
The little tin soldier stood by himself
In n dim-lit corner of the dusty shelf
Down his little tin cheeks there trickled a tear
And I heard him sob, at • lingered near:
"It is just twenty-five yeses ago today
Since I came with a cart-load of toys to stay,
In this little old shop, till some one in town
Should see, and get Santa Clause to call me down.
But some how It seems I never was sent,
For my little tin back was crooked and bent,
And try as I would, I couldn’t stand straight
And my little tin heart was filled with hate,
Because no voice would ever echo with glee
No baby hands reach out for me—
* And so at last l jumped from off my shelf
Intending to kill my little tin self.
When I opened my eyes, a soft voice said:
"Hold on little captain, don't loose your head,
Tho our back are bent, our hearts may be straight,
And strong enough to smile, when Fate
Turns us down. ‘TIs a smile not a frown
That gorges a link In our Heavenly crown.”
And when I got back to my place on the shelf
I was smiling all over my little self—
And we've smiled ever since, Miss Sarah and I,
And only today did a tear dim my eye,
For I knew how it hurts to leave this place,
But Miss Sarah is going with a smiling face.''
Just then I heard Miss Sarah say:
"Good morning, I hope you are well today.”
I finished my errand, and as I turned to go,
Something fell with a clatter on the dusty floor—
Just an cld tin toy that had fallen apart?
No, a aoldier that had died of a broken heart.
And there’a an empty place on the duaty shelf.
And Miss Sarah ia smiling today by herself;
But the little tin aoldier with the wounded knee,
Left a farewell message to you and me,
And aa we put the Riddles to bed tonight,
If we pause for a moment we may read It aright.
