Altman and ootn pnny and John Wannamaker have de cided to close their dry goods houses for the entire day on Saturdays during the months of July and August. This is in addition to the regular early clos ing rule for the summer season and In addition to the vacations which these firms accord their clerks and attend ants. This gives the employes of these stores a week-end holiday, beginning at five o’clock Friday afternoon and and ending on Monltiy mornings at ight-thlrty. The problem of serving the shop pers all during the summer months and at the same time giving the store employes enough rest and recreation Is a serious one, where the weather Is continuously fierce during the sum mer months. It Is only fair to other merchants to point out. however, that Altman and Wannamaker can afford to close their houses on Saturday, while other mer chants. dependent upon a less smart and fashtnnutde patronage would lose heavily. This Is true of Augusta mer chants and we fear no aurli fortunate rule will he found practical In the south despite the fact that the weath er Is warmer and steadily warmer disn In the large northern cities. Yet the public and the merchante really ought to come to a mutual un derstanding by which the saleswomen und salesmen will gel greater comfort In living. In tropical countries the stores open from early morning until ten or half past, close through the heated term of the day and then open again for an hour or two in the cool of the evening. We have always believed that this plan Is suited to cllmstes and customs of the southern cities and would hold business without Imposing hardships and fatigue upon the store attendants The long wait through the heat of !|'||l||ll|||f||! |> USTEW TO 'Hbij'jf -fHST iTAITviAhOETJ. || " | \\ |!l"7hi - ! | TIT I !

He rushed his guest down Into the subway oidy In time to see the gates of a subway express train clang and the curs pulling out. "There.” cxclaim • d the impatient New Yorker, “We’ve hot two minutes.” "What were yon goim-c to do with those two minutes?” inquired the mystified Jap who was in the habit of conserving Ids time as wgjl as Ids money for a definite pur pose Mi Harding Is ft tvpcial good wife and mother "a real thrifty, hard w orking woman" the‘neighbors say. She lives in a New England town and follows with all the religious fervor of a good Chinaman the example and habits of her parents and grandpar -1 nts. It was Monday and she had til th' time to let the Joy of the sunshine enter her thought. She saw it only as whitening her clothes on the tine. In will-worn gingham and sleeves to tho elbow she struggled with a "heavy w ash.” Hints and steam and "tired feel ings" pervaded the pretty home, and the children kept well In the back ground. "Nd, I haven’t any faith tn those new fangled washing machines.” she said with a finality which cheeked the day, the midday lunch hour, In which It Is necessary to go out and return when the sun is doing Its best to addle the brains and exhaust the nerves of those who encounter its heat Is a trial which It takes courage and endurance to bear. Only a few straggling shoppers en ter the stores between the noon hour und the cool of evening and the loss from closing the doors at these hours would minimised. As the custom now Is, the mail order exercises a se ductive Influence upon those who like Gie comfort and seclusion of their own homes too welt to go out tn the heat of the day. and a grent deal of busi ness which really ought to go to the Augusta merchants Is drawn to New Yorlj. Philadelphia, Baltimore, and even Atlanta. This la simply because shopping Is tin Inconvenience iwul a hardship both to the buyer and the seller. It could be made easier and pleasanter for both and, we believe, more profitable for both. Augusta Is a tropical city, so far as climate goes, from the first of June to the middle of September. What's the matter with making our customs comfortable and suitable to our situation? GOVERNMENT LAND ACQUISI TIONS. The government has bought from Mrs. George Vanderbilt the Plsgah Forest tract of Mi. 700 acres, which Is to be ustHl ns a game preserve. The purpose of tills purchase Is to con serve the watershed of the French Broad river. This purchase Is In ad dition to others aggregating several hundred thousand acres In all und Is a part of the flood prevention policy upon which the government Is enter lug. The l'lsgah Forest section Is the natural sanitarium of the south east and the protection w hteta this government purchase means to the Houth is very great. It Is a very difficult thing for the states to net together for their protec tion tn conserving forests and over coming the tendency toward floods. These government purchases, though enormously expensive, are for the benefit, that we doubt If It Is properly appreciated. GUARDING THEM. The Employer- By the way, the children usually eat with us. The New Governess (firmly) l must object to that. ”\Vh; ."’ 'They a\if* to pick up such faulty notions of grammar."—-Cleveland Plain Dealer. INDOOR SPORTS ct By Tad the invitation on her husband’s Ups to go and see them demonstrated at the eentral grocery. "My clothes are white and nice, and I think too much of them for any such half-way methods." Mrs. I >avt» married a young Ohio farmer and settled In a progressive western town. Her parents were thrifty people and, like the Wise Men of old, cattle from the East. It was Monday forenoon and the clothes line was out. and the washing was "doing" 111 the laundry. She left the piano whore she had hen happily trying some new music to answer the knock of an early caller—a member of her Woman's (’lull. "You see I am wash ing this morning." she explained as she ran to change the water In the washing machine. "We have an eler trlc washing machine and It does all tho hard work. We used water power when we were on the farm and had'no electricity. The fact is, I don’t believe in being a martyr to the cause.” she laughed. "The clothes look as well with less wear and tear, and I have leisure to enjoy life and make better use of my time. The washing ma chine Is the best investment we ever made and heats the New England va riety of thrift, under which my moth er labored, all to pieces." Thrift In time sometimes is confus ed with the waste of time which Is the worst of extravagance. Magazines For Sailors of Fleet on Mexic Coast Washington.—To help tho sailors and marines on duty along the Mexi can coast to spend their spare mo ments profitably the navy depart ment was planning today to send them magazines and other reading matter. The plan was proposed by a committee composed principally of the wives of naval officers now in Mexican waters. Mrs. Daniels, wife of the secretary of the navy, and Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of Assistant Sec retary Franklin D. Roosevelt, algo were members of this -committee. DROVE SLEEP FROM HER EYES The Gem of American Verse Was Written After Midnight in Washington. When the Army of the Potomac was In camp, in the Old Domtuion dur ing the mouth of December 1861 Jul ia Ward Howe was a visitor at the headquarters of General George G. McClellan. Passing the entire day among the soldiers this gifted woman wag greatly Impressed by the fact that the "boys in blue” were all stng iug "John llrown's Body.” Naturally this native of Boston was greatly listrossed by the Inele gant v ords of the song concerning Old John Brown and while riding about th camp she conceived the Idea of giving this famous tune a new Ivric. When she returned to the Na tion’s eapltal that evening the new lyric w.ig uppermost In her mind but she decided to retire for the night and pen the poem In the morning Rut the thought of the song drove sleep from her eyes, so aha arose and wrote the gem of American verse which bears her name On her return to Boston a few days later she submitted her poem to James T. Fields, editor of The Atlan tic Monthly. He suggested the title: "The Rattle Hymn of The Republic ’ and under this title the verses were published In the February number of that magazine In 1862. Grander words were never Incorporated In any bat tle hymn. "The Hattie H>mn of ice Republic” and all the other of favor Res are In The Herald's collection of Songs That Never Grow Old."
