_ A SATURDAY EVENING.
iWhli-b ran Just aa well lie read on Monday Afternoon.)
A few weeks ago there was told In this column a simple story ot a
Georgia girl linked In a love marriage with a Georgia youth.
After a series of consecutive misfortunes the young fellow had fall
en Into consumption, and without njeans or well-to-do connections, tbe
little woman with a great tear at her heart, but with a smile on her lips,
set herself to work, and was' literally stitching bar way across tha cootl-
nent In the heroic effort to carry her lover husband to tbe balm of Col
orado.
It was a simple story and a trite one. but its vary simplicity found the
heart ot the people, and In three wdeka from the telling ot It tbe brave
little'wife with her husband was on a train with a ticket to Colorado and
return, and with three hundred dollars sent from Geosgla hands to ex
press tho warmth ot Georgia hearts for a true woman In distress.
There -comes to us today another story whoso appeal Is even nearer
to us, because Its heroine Is one of Atlanta's own. It comes to us
t through a third woman—a good woman wjto has loved and suffered and
triumphed, and has not forgotten tu her happiness tho sorrow ot her own
dark hours, or tha shadow on the llvee of other women lu need, and
this is the story that she tells:
There Is a woman In Atlanta—young, beautiful and of noble charac
ter. She waa born to comfort but loet her all. and after a brief but hap
py marriage was left a widow with one little golden-haired baby—and
nothing also In all tbe world.
From the first year of the baby's life she has been at work to pro
vide tor heraelt and tor the child. She was n saleswoman In one ot At
lanta's large department atoree—ouo of the great, brave army ot young
woman who with quick brains and clear eyes sad soft msnsers, stand
and serve and sell through all tha long hours of • business day. And
among them all there waa no cheerier and braver figure than tha young
mother lo her somber garb of early grief. No tinge ot the pathoe In her
history touched the lives of those about her. For tbe sadness In her
sweet eyes was redeemed by her cordial grace ot manner and the good
cheer which she radiated from a generous and unselfish life. She wss
glad—the little mother—In her dally work, and with the baby near at
hand under a good old nurse, ahe rushed home at luncheon to caress him
for; a dear passing moment, and went nu winged feet at evening with hap
py roaaa In her cheeks to the little neat where her darling lay.
But the rases In her face grew fainter, until one day a companion
noted that on either cheek they had faded to a hectic flush—that herald
and harbinger of the dread disease In whose remorseless clutch so much
of youth and beauty has been hurried untimely to the tomb.
They did not tell her, and ahe did not know at first, but as her step
grew slower and her strength unequal to the long day's task, she found
It out herself. She did not weep or wring her bands. With one look ot
anguish at her baby's cradle, the fair young mother shut her lips together,
braced her tired body—and went back to work. Far as her fading
strength would bear her. she went on and'on from day to day. When she
rould go no longer ahe bowed her head and went home—where the
baby wss. wss borne—and she went there—to die—the long*slow death of
dying lungs.
. Her friends did not forget her. Her employer gave generously to her
early needs. Her comrades of the salesroom—the poor are ever generous
—gave of their slender store right gladly. Hut $."■ a week—nor $10—does
not admit ot lavish charity, and their email savings were not equal to
the long slow drain.
The young mother Is now In sore and distressful need—and she has
Just one Isst bopefpl chance for life. *
The good woman who brings to us this story has been through all the
stagas.orthls long despairing fight—and wou. And sho has found this
slater hi suffering, and Is swept to compassion and to eager helpfulness
tor heir cake. She has enlisted the chief specialist of Atlanta In tubercu
lar consumption, and he. like the bis hearted gentleman thst he Is, cams
gladly end gratuitously to this call ot ohsrity. Together there kind
rriends bare figured out the rase. They' have determined thst lu this

It only remains to raise the mooar (or tfm baby sod Its mother to go

enough. Yesterday tbe good troman who told us. went to tea tbe moth
er. and her child, rathetlp past all telling is the report ahe brings. No
whining terror, no weak repining. The mother, lovely still in her fragile,
beauty, alts and looks with despairing eyes toward her baby.
“I am not hfrald to die. But I cannot afford to die. I can't .leave my
baby. In all tbe world 'there la. no ooe to care for her when I am gone!
'An orphanage; did you say? Oh no. what orphanage on earth can ba a

Men and women, shall we' lot this woman dla for lack of oaa last

Is the daughter of the shopping trade. She has fought a bravo fight She
ha* neither.whlued nor surrendered.' Bet she ls spdnt 8he1ms onriast
chance for life which she cannot seize herself. . Shall wo help her?
.Shull we give back this mother to toe baby If we can?
Those who think so can send to Tha Georgian wbat' tha spirit may
more them to contribute and we will speed It through gentler channels
to the little room where the baby crows In, happiness while the fading
mother looks at him with unfathomed sorrow Ilk her ayes.
This Is Monday evening, and Monday Is a busy day. There are great
questions and big problems waiting for comment and consideration. Per
haps a big live hewspaper like The Georgian ought oot to give so much
of Urns and space to one sad woman and her single life. « .
But when wfi think this, wo think also of that pbem of John Hay's
describing the wonderful finding of a lost child. Somebody suggested the
angels did It. Another protested that the angsts had no time to be fooling
with a little thing like that. But the poet holding tbe angel theory, says:

Max Nordau Tells You How
To Make Youf Way in Life
By MAX NORDAU.
o
NE can make hie way In the
world in - one of two way
either by one's *wn aiiperfbr
qualities or by the mistakes of others.
Tha first of these ways Is by tar the
more difficult and uncertain, or. In the
first pise*. It pre-supposts a person to
have auperlor qualities which, how.
ever. Is not the csss with every one,
and In the next It la. closely bound up
with thls^ condition that there -superior
qualities are remarked and appreciated
at the right time and by a wide cir
cle, which almost never happens In ac
tual experience.
Speculation on the mistakes of oth
ers, on the contrary, always succeeds.
A teacher would, therefore, do right In
saying to his pupils: '"Do not take
the trouble to perform anything ex
traordinary or to let your work speak
In your bshslt: Its voice ta weak and

from the moment you have paid him
th* price of his goods.
If you were to fall In ■ heap In front
of the door of his store, the only
thought he will have will lie to remove
the obstruction from his thresholds.
- on til* other hand, you take
everything on credit. If you pump

become transformed as It by a magic

will everywhere arouse the most fs-
vorahle Impression.-"Finally, you will
have a whole bodygusrd,or retinue of
sealous, nay, fanatical tallow-workers
for your success. For every creditor 1s
a friend, a well-wisher, one who will
advance you. He-will go through fire
and water for your. No father will
take so much trouble on your behalf as
a creditor will, because he has made
the mistake of trusting you. The mors
you are Indebted to him, the more In

—If -you have -plenty- of creditors your
chances will, from the first, be assured.
They-will see that you get a rich wife,
a high station In life and a good repu

Instead. - therefore, of wasting vour (
time with bonaat and severe exertions,
employ It In studying tho mistakes of
the multitude and tn reaping from them
totron advantage^ — • ——=
The multitude has no Judgment el

the multitude Is shallow and thought

HUMANITY IN OFFICIALS.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Having business at Ordinary Wllktr-
son's office today while the widows of
Confederate veterans were receiving
their vouchers for pensions. I was es
pecially impressed with the patient
and kindly consideration, shown to each
and every one of those helpless, and In
many Instances Illiterate old .ladles,
and his assistants seemed to have
caught this same gentle and kindly
spirit, each one taking special palus to
proffer any Information that might save
those i,Id ladtee Inconvenience or an
noyance. This ta. of course. Juat aa It
should be, but unfortunately, public
beneficiaries do not always receive the
consideration and patience to whlcn
their helpless condition entitle* them,
and when they do. It Is moat praise
worthy In the kind hearts which
prompt It.
