The Journey took the mejor end the reporter to Juet one particular apot In Atalnta where the well} of a equalld tenement row hid poverty nnd auffcrlng thet would melt the hardeat henrt. It would make you wlali a thouaaod tlmea you hadn't, passed the Salvation Army pota without dropping In a quarter. The major apont M on thla little journey.

And they looked an big aa alx cart wbeela when turned Into coal and the aim- pleat kind of provlalona to he given to the occupants of three of those squalid tene ments. 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 eeetatenc* If brought to them by well-dress 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 of workers, and look upon them ee friends. They thought the reporter wat a friend of the major'* or one of hi, worker*. . You have to rid* quite a dlatance before you get to thla Poverty Row. But as toon aa yon get off the cer you will Imagine, If you have any experience In thene mat tore, that the walla of that row ore hiding tblnga which would tell a tale of misery. The major knocked at one door, was ad mitted, and went upatalra. In thl, bou.o no larger than many a email family In good circumstance* occupies, wen- many fami lies.

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 limanlug. III anil unable to aland up. And. wovat of all. father waa down town In an undertaking abop waiting to be burled. lion and waan't ragged. Often yon And dirt In with poverty and mlaerr. lolka like that can't tw, blamed much If they let tblnge run dot™ when they ere iterrlng. Tble old -woman waa burning some .tick, and trash sbe bad picked up. Iler coal bad been gouc some days. . „ . “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. Baron Rothschild Gives Fish 1,850 Proxies to Vote.

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. Busy Atlanta people, occupied dally with their own little problems, never see such things as this. And they are too busy to look at them If they know they exist.
