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 Sf** 01 * * hree thoi0 tew* 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. Jf Workers, They tbi Sort ot rubbing things In. wasn't It? 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. When the major ami the reporter their little Journey Monday the wife wss better, but the good Irishman would —- let the Salvation Army know he — anything more.
