MiSS ZINN’S TOY SHOP RUINED BY FLOOD; tSf kit t$S tjC «,|S 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 w.r* talli I .ip, *bey would make a 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 ■.vere few ard simple, and her Inna'* thrlftness such that she nude her tiny Income defray the living ex penses of her little establishment, and 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. —KATHERINE BLACK cared also for another who Is prac tlcallv helpless.

Sllll the fact remains that the wnt <ra have rolled over her fur more heavily than over most, and that, she has suffered as have few. The pUi i ably small stock of tovs Is ruined, and there is no money with which to buy i another. Her pride Is one of the few possessions left her, yet she will re-1 reive help as others have been com j pelled to do.

In pursuance of a plan suggested by 1 one of Mini. Zinn’s old customers, The Herald Is opening a subscription list,: and will print every afternoon the j names of those contributing.

"The congress has been treated ad. mlrahly by the English press, which throughout has been fair-minded.
