THE LOCKED STORE.
BY CLARA J. DENTON.

VIII Barnham sat in the silent
store and yawned. How dull it was |
He had not had n customer for nearly
an hour, and the loneliness and mac
tion were becoming unbearable. He
looked at his watch and counted the
hours since his father had gone away
leaving him in charge of his business.
Immediately on his return, which he
hoped would be soon, he meant to
board one of the electric cars that
whirled invitingly by the door, for, of
course it was too hot to think to walk
ing home. Then he fell to wondering
how his father could endure hour after
hour. and day after day, this beggarly
lack of business. Yet he was always
hopeful, always saying to inquirers:
ooh, things will brisk up after q
while"
"Will rose, and walking to the door
looked up the street at store in the
next block, where the people were
busily coming and going.
''Just as l thought" he muttered,
"Zilinski and his clerks are 30 busy as
beavers, where here / sit Idle. 1 told
Father store in this part of the town
among the Poles would have no chance
while Zilinslki was so near. He ought
to have known what people they are
for hanging together, and, of course,
they'll all patronize their own country
man. But Father only laughed and
said, boys didn't know it all. He
thought they'd buy of him because he
keeps better goods than Zilinski and
sells some things few cents cheaper.
But not rap do they care for that.
So here we are losing money every
day, while Zilinski is getting rich. I'll
tnlk to Father this very night and see
if 1 can't persuade him to move to
some better stand as soon as this
month is up. If he doesn't, l may as
we'll give up going to college this fall.
I'll have to go to work instead, to get
my board and clothes"
With frown on his face he turned
away from the door and walked to the
other end of the store. Here his eye
fell upon book that he had not read,
and, taking it up, he was soon above
and beyond all his annoyances.
He had been reading thus uninter-
rupted for more than an hour when
he heard quick footsteps on the board
sidewalk in front of the store. He
looked up.
Show can any one run like that on
this hot day?" he thought.
In moment bareheaded Polish
woman dashed into the store. Her
face was white, her eyes wild with
fright.
"Oh, guide boy" she began in
broken Eng.ish ''ring der telephone
on and up der docter get, mine leetle
schild vot to mine neighbor pelongs
ish drownded dade in der sishtern
a'ready.'
Will sprang to his feet, his face as
white,as the woman's
"What doctor?" he asked.
"Dat make no Difference Already"
Will gave the telephone frantic
ring rs the woman darted away.
"Here," he called, "come back and
tell me the name and number where
the child is."
The woman stopped, gave the re-
quired information and then dashed
away again.
But another quarter of an hour fled
before Will could catch doctor IN
his Office, and even he was just about
to set out to visit some very critioa

Seeking.

Over tho waters wide,
Borne by the stormy tide,
Come I TO thee;
Whore the bright foam leaps high,
Splts at the frowning sky,
Far out at sea.
Counting q wat'ry grave,
Breasting the ocean wave,
Thro' rough or smiling sea,
Come I, my love, to thee.
Over the boundless seas.
Watt by the evening breeze,
Far to the West;
Whore the bright sun still CLEANS
wrapp'd In Its golden beams,
Graded to rest
Where the eye strains 10 SEQ
Bright gates OF liberty,
Over the distant sea
Come |, my love, to thee.
Over the midnight desp,
Onward my course I'll keep,
Seeking for thee;
Love will my path direct,
Love will my bark protect,
From dangers free.
Then when the morning llgh,
Steal DER tho shadows Of night
with hope and constancy
Still will seek for thee.
Tos5'd by the waves Of strife
Over the sea Of life.
Death as the goal;
When fears my breast unman,
Only your presenc, eau
Tighten my soul;
Still your sweet voice hear
Calling the wandrer near,
Still will I seek for thee,
Love thro' eternity.

The Soldiers Home.
Mr.. Atkinson defended his position while
a member of the Georgia legislature in vot-

He said that it was question of whether

the soldiers would be humbled to the level
of beggars with officers over them to spend
their money for them, or whether they
would give pensions to the war-worn veter-
ane. lie favored the pension idea as this
would allow the old fellows to stay at home
and live with their families and friends.

Of MIR Atkinson that stands out with inter-

use it to secure duties upon articles in which
they or their clients have personal inter-
ests-coal, iron ore, lumber, pig iron, etc.
Under pretense of providing needed reven-

seek to mutilate the bill and destroy its

Cincinnati Tribune: 1t is a delightfully."- en-
couragng lndication~of the splendid strides
which this country has made toward the
goal of perfect good faith and substantial
peace which the resolution adopted by the
city council of Atlanta, Ga, inviting the
Grand Army of the Republic to hold its re-
union in that city, offers to the world. The
fraternal spirit back of this invitation calls
for the warmest praise and most sincere
generalization. 1t reflects honor on the
south; it adds to the glory Of the nation;
it is one of the highest immaterial triumphs
the American people have achieved.
