DOWN POVERTY ROW
WITH SALVATION ARMY
Jo*t * llttlt Journey to Porerty How—
that's alt.
Bnt If a few of the good folk* of Atlanta
who am brimming over at this time of the
year with the Cbrlstmaa aplrlt and who ar*
fueling philanthropic could make thle name
Journey their ejea would lie opened and
they would be convinced that a trip to the
ilotn* of New Tork and Chicago wae not
nwesaary to find misery, poverty, want and
■offering.
This little Journey, then, was mada by a
Georgian reporter with Major John M. Her-
rlman, of the Salvation Army. It was not
a made-to-order journey. It was Just a
■ample of what the Halvatlon Army runs up
arslust every day In the year. The Journey
took the major and the reporter to Just one
particular spot In Atnlnta where tue wall*
»>f a squalid tenement row hid poverty and
■uttering that would melt the hardest heart,
it would make you wish a thousand times
you hadn’t passed the Salvation Army pots
wfihout dropping In a quarter.
Th« major spent $5 on this little Journey.
Tao»o six dollars were part of the money
good Atlantans had dropped Into the boiling
pots. And they looked as big as alx cart
wheels when turned Into coal and the sim
plest kind of provisions to be given to the

Whero la Poverty Row7
It wouldn't do to tall Just where this
Poverty Row la. The people the reporter
found there wouldn't ask the people of At-
toot* for a cent. They are not "panhan
dlers." They are Jnat poor unfortunates
who hart had the cards stacked against
Jhsm iq their game of life with Fate.
That's all. And they would quietly refuse
■Mlstanee If brought to them by well-dress-
H and patronising people with an air of
prosperity about them. They would think
throwing a bone to a forlorn dog.

No Money for Burial.
Yes, father had. died in the hospital on
Saturday. You know' how ft rained Satur
day ? Well, this daughter, who wna also a
mother to her. own children and her little
brother and slater, trudged down town In
that rain with few clothes and no shoes.
She told Major Berrlman that her father
had died and there was no money to Iniry
biro. The hospital folks sent him to the
undertaker aud the city wouldn't furnish a
box.
The major nre them some money toward
buying a coffin, und she thought her brother
could get the balance from n mission. But
the little journey showed he couldn't. His
efforts bad been unsuccessful nud father
was still unburled.
"Papa was eo s
daughter and mother, •
him burled without being put Into a coffin.
I saw a woman buried that way once and
I don’t want poor papa to be done that
way. I reckon, major. If you don’t mind,
we r ll take the little money you gave ua and
have Juat a nine box made. I could trim It
a little bit with this old black sklkt of
good to me." sobbed this
tber, "that I hate to have
"God bless you. major," she said. "You
have been too good to me and. 1 don't de
servo It."
As tho major and the reporter went out
the door the old woman sobldngly said
good-bye and wiped the tears from her dim
eyea.
Not Far to Search.
It was only a few steps to anothtr scent
of misery and want. Yet there was happt-
uess In with this misery. It was the home—
If snch miserable quarters can be qalled
that—of a hard-working Irishman, with a
good old brogue that was delightful to hear.
Father bad nil sorts of excellent letters of
recommendation from London, and also
from a big railroad line In the Month. Bnt
when they laid men off on the railroad be
was one of them. v
Wife was just nble to be shout and In tho
bed was a tiny, six-weeks old baby. A few
wepks belorr, when these people became F~~
major's friends, the wire was lying In to
with the baby. sick, with no lira, no fo*
and no medical attention. Some of the-poor
neighbors told a Salvation Army lassie out
that way about the family. These neigh-
burs were too poor themselves to help, but
they helped this family to get help.
