One Day in Chattanooga.

Half past five, and [ throw open my
shutters that may look off toward the
mountains. The light Of the rising sun
reflected upon them shows their crests
and slopes green with leaf and bud of
early spring. Dogwood trees, with
their prodigal wealth Of bloom, rise
white and rounded in their perfection
of color and form here and there among
all the delicate tints Of this early
greenery. Over against my window
four tall poplars stand like sentinals and
wave their approaching branches III the
morning air. In the street below l
hear the trlll1ng carroll of voice, clear
and musical It is my little Russian
boy. The jolliest little six year old that
ever landed on these American shores
All through the winter / have seen him
as passed the old ramshackle of a
house that his family have occupied.
Sometimes he was gathering up bits of
coal that fell from passing drays and
putting them carefully in a battered and
bent lard pail. Sometimes he was
carrying the household baby. Some
times racing through the yard In the
abandon Of his glee, but always trilllng
his little tongue and sending out from
his northland throat clear bell-toned
notes that never touched a minor key.
One cold mid-winter morning when
off
ed with several inches of snow that a
western blizzard had sent us as gratui-
tous and unusual gift, my little Russian
in tattered trousers, held up or on in
the most nondescript way, was running
all about the stone paving of the street
and kicking the snow with his little
naked feet The little bare red toes left
their 1mprints everywhere, but the
blithe little tongue was flying as glee-
fully as ever and keeping time to the
feet with it's gay roll of melody.
AS | passed the house | frequently
saw the family at their meals. Always
around bare black table where the
loaf of bread and bowls of some com
pound seemed to form the entire re-
past. This morning as 90 down town
and pass the familiar window [ see
again the family table. But there is a
change here. Over the black table is
spread table cloth-not very new nor
very white-but still it is covering,
and this means an advance in the home
and the housekeeping. The table too
has some very respectable dishes, few
cups and saucers and plate Of boiled
| meat in the center. Our foreign friend
is becoming enlightened and American
lied. A few more years and my little
gleesome singer will not be recognized
in the developed and assimilated young
man that will meet in some of our own
schools or places of business.
The coolest of these Tennessee Win
tiers is warm one beside that of his
former home, and SO our Russian
friends are perfectly content believing
they have found veritable paradise
and the grating like the transplanting
is final.

once was white tied in travesty of
bow on one side, stockings heelless and
shoes ditto-shuffling and slapplng
their soles along as she faithfully fol-
lows the baby and its carriage, whose
dainty beauty she believes enhanses
hers, and reflects upon her q respecta-
bility that without it she would fail
to attain. The many times bent straw
hat is drawn down over her crinkled
bangs, and its unfresh flowers and from
every angle in the most grotesque
fashion. Happy, irresponsible, un-
thinking, child of Africa, troubled over
nothing in life, careless about the same,
and aspirant for nothing beyond what
each hour brings.
At point where two ways meet there
is saloon-there are many like it in
every city. To-day as [ came home a
middle aged carpenter walked on ahead
of me. | knew his trade because his
hands were full Of tools that proclaimed
it. He had kind face and | wondered
as [ studied it if there was not home
and family waiting pleasant dinner
for his coming. Before reaching the
saloons door he half halted, then walk
ed hurriedly on quite past it without
even turning his head. In moment
he again halted turned about and grasp
ing the handle of his saw tightly, with
set lips and restless eye he entered the
polished doorway and its lattice doors
swung shut behind him. The history
of life and u lost victory written in a
two minutes acts.
I did not care for any further glimpses
of my fellowmen. [ came home faint
of thanksgiving chow long oh Lord
Chow long must this curse rest on our
land and its homes?' Will not the
church-our legislators-or our women
soon solve the saddening problem,
bring relief to the thousands who are
being destroyed by this national evil
whose blighting curse excerpts no COM
munity? And the evening of my day
unlike its morning missed the song and
the Joy of the dawn. Shall not the
co ming eventides be more full of
promise?

Coming up the street is all old grey
donkey attached to small cart. The
little beast is aged and stiff in hisjoints,
and his harness is fashioned of straps,
bits of rope and twisted strands of red
flannel. The lines that are meant to
guide him are of rope with many. knots,
and their frayed ends hang down at If
regular intervals, like tufts of yellow
fringe. The traces that prevent his
leaving the cart in the street behind
him are a fitting match to these same
veins. Leather, creased rope and four
links from some old chain are all COM
bined in their makeup.
The donkey's master matches this
equipage and its appointments. He is
a very large, fat, dignifed and white
haired darkey of the old regime,
claims 20 be one hundred years old, and
those who are in way of knowing of
his earlier history consider this claim
| to be we'll sustained. His clothes were
very probably once of some one pre-
vailing color. But they now are so
patched, and these patches patched
again and again, that one must be for
given if they decline to make oath of
what to their belief was the original
color or fabric.
One of the respected and few relics
of a long ago time that will never again
repeat itself in our American history.
