DOWN POVERTY ROW •

Ju»t a little journey to Porerty Row—

occupants of three of those squalid tene

Where le Poverty Row?
It wouldn't do to tell juet where thle
Poverty Row le. The people the reporter
found there wouldn't eek the people of At
lanta for a cent. They nre not "pnnhen-
dlere." They are Just poor unfortunates
who have bad the cards stacked agalnat
them In their game of life with Fate.
That'a all. And they would quietly refute

ed end patronising people with an sir of
prosperity about them. They would think
yon were throwing e hone to a forlorn dog.
They know Major Berrlmen nnd hit bend

They thought the reporter wat a friend of
the major'* or one of hi, worker*. .
You have to rid* quite a dlatance before

No Money fop Burial.
Yes, father had died In tbo hospital on
Saturday. You know how It rained Satur-
(thy? Well, this daughter, who was also a
mother to her own children nnd her little
brother nnd sister, trudged down town in
that rain with few clothes nnd no shoes.
She told Major Ilorrlnmn that her father
hnd died and there was no money to bury
blin. The hospital folks nent him to the
undertaker nnd the city wouldn't furnish a
box.
The mnjor gave them some money toward
buying n coffin, nnd she thought her brother
could get the balance from n nilrston. But
the little Journey showed .he couldn’t. His
efforts had been unsuccessful uud father
was still unburled.
“Papa was so good to me," sobbed this
daughter and mother, “that I linte to have
him buried without being put into a cofftu.
I saw n woman burled that way once nnd
I don't want poor papa to be done that
war. I reckon, major, if you don't mind,
we'll take the little money you gave us and
hive Just a pine Iwx made. I could trim It
a little bit with this did black skirt of
mine. And I wish you would preach some
little service. There ain’t no minister
would want to come to our homo to
preach. Then we'll have to let the city
bury him in the potter's Held. The box Is
the best we can do." '
Pretty tough, lau’t It? And arouud Christ
mas time, too.
A Widow's Home.
A few doors down this row of poverty
was onother friend of the major’s. She
was an old widow, who occupied two rooms.
The floors were bare, but they were spot
lessly dean. So waa the bed. On top of It
waa a crasy quilt, but It was In good icondl-
jMr-nld Unity. On the lied a brother was

“I'm getting tlong first rate, major, she
said In answer to au Inquiry. The little
help you gave mo will keep my going now.
She didn’t make a poor month, an.r whine.
She wna happy nt the majors visit and
tried to make him nud his reporter friend
comfortable, and .brought chairs up to the
miserable little Are for them. Delicate In
quiries brought out the Information tba
this old woman hadn’t a morsel In th
bouse to cat nnd not a bit of coil. Thl
old woman, tidy a« possible, and wjtL
cleanliness everywhere apparent, supported
herself by working anf. dolng housework
and scrubbing. But lately she bad a little
had luck, she said, and bad been sick.
Her brother, as/ poor ns she, sometimes
helped her. Khe was gettlug now so she
could go out sgslu and work and would be
all right, thunk*. Not u thing did she ask or
even hint for.
Major llerrlmau, however, saw where a
dollar's worth «>f coal nnd a dollars worth
of fowl would do a heap of good. He told
the old w*oman so and tbs tears came into
her eye#.
“God bless you. major," she snld. "lou
have been too good to me and I don't de
serve It."
As the major nnd the reporter went out
the door the old woman sohhlngly said
good-bye and wiped the tears from her dim
eyes.
Not Far to Search
It was only a few steps to another scene
of misery nnd wont. Yet there Waa hnppl
uess In with this misery. It was the home—
if such miserable quarters can be called
that—of a hard-working Irishman, with a
good old brogue that wee delightful to hear.
Father hnd nil sorts of excellent letters of
recommendation from London, nnd nlso
from a big railroad line In the South. But
when they laid men off on the railroad ho
was one of them.
Wife a
bed was
weeks before, when these people became the
major’* friends, the wife was lying In bed
with the bo by,* sick, with no fire, no food
nnd no medical nttentlon. Home or the poor
nelghlx>rs told a Salvation Army lnasle out
that way about the family. These neigh
bors were too poor themselves to help, but
they helped this family to get help.
Wheu the major and the reporter made
th«»lr little Jonrney Monday the wife was
better, hut the good Irishman would pot
let the Salvation Army know he wanted
anything more. The mnjor nnd his com
panion found them huddled nround the last|
of some coal u poor neighbor had given
them. The Inst bite of food was gone.

knew he wasn’t lazy. The big railroad waa
getting poor and couldn’t afford to pay
her husband, that’s all.
"God Blest Ye, Major.
Bat the major insisted on lending a dol
lar’s worth of coal and the same amount of
provUloha. Then thla strong tnau showed
bis appreciation. He fumbled bis letters of
recommendation and patted .the heads of the
children and the tears rolled down bis
cheeks. All tba could murmur waa: "God
bless ye. major.”
Thla man wasn’t asking alms,
strong, and if be hadn't been laid off for
lack of work bo wouldn't have needed the
assistance of the major and hla band. One
other thing; The children wero barefooted.
An Inquiry as to this brought out the fact
that the mother was saving the shoes while
the children were In the house. They
wouldn't wear what waa left of them out so
qnickiy.
Before Major Herr I man took the reporter
away from such scenes, he called on an
other friend, who was dying of pneumonia.
Mb* was a woman 6 years of age, and said
she was ready to go when God called her.
They didn’t want any coat here. A young
daughter had stopped her work down town
to nurse mother, and another daughter was
still working to support the family. The
city doctor was attending this woman and
the miration Army was famishing the
medicine. The coal was gone, bnt the
daughter said they hud a lot of old wood In
the yard she usd carried there, and to get
roar would be asking too much. No, Just
have the tast prescription filled, thanks, and
that would Im- enough.
Just a Little Session.
Then the major went back to bis office
and more tales of want and the reporter
went back to grind out this. The Journey
was Indeed a little one. for only a glimpse
of what the army sees dally was witnessed.
