POOR hit DESERVING.
A Country Lad Who Leads His
SchOOlmates.

81 have often thought" said Superin-
tendent Meredith to a Post-Intelligeneer
reporter yesterday, that IL some man OF
wealth who is looking for a worthy object
and profitable investment for his surplus
cash could only travel with me little
through our country schools he would not
be long at loss.
II have now in mind boy Is years old
that met the other day at Palmer His
name is James O'Connor His father is
a section boss. and his limited means will
probably prevent his ever giving his son
a liberal education. Yet the boy has all
the instincts of scholar. and, unlike
many a wealthy mans son who squanders
his money at Yale or Harvard would
gladly avail himself of any educational
facilities placed at his command
Il wish you could have been with me
when met him the other day. Most
people perhaps who knew nothing Of his
work would pass him by nnnoticed. He
is rather small for his age. and when
sa W him he wore a pair of blue oyeralls
and a plain check shirt. But he stands
al the head of his school. He is In fact
now taking a supplementary high school
course, and finds his chief delight In the
realm of English literature. mathematics
and natural science. His description OF
the hydrostatic press. given from MEM
cry. was one of the best I have ever
heard. and would have done credit to
many university student.
Fortunately. in his teacher he finds a
warm sympathizer and a practical guide.
Or Pratt who must be now about 80
years OF age. Is an old New England edu-
Gator. with all that name implies. But
I could not help thinking what II might
mean TO the boy and 10 the country If
some man who had few dollars TO spare
would take him and give him a university
efueation"

WILL CLOSE AT Gao.


For several years past the mai orffy of
the dry goods houses OF the city have
closed each day az 5 O'Clock A number OF
the uptown establishments on Pike street
and Second avenue have kept open until
or O'Clock The proprietors. as well as
The employees In the stores have been enx-
ious 10 inaugurafe eariy-cioslng hours.
and the matter has several times been aSf-
tafea. Within the past two days the mat
ter has been settled by a definite agreement
among these establishments. and. con-
mencing June T. these stores are 20 close
al SO r. m. except or Saturdays. The
public will without doubt, fall in line.
and do their trading before s.ss each day.
thus enapIing the clerks and their employ
ers 70 enjoy their evenings unhampered
BY business. A movement OF this kind al
ways meets with support from all classes
o. people, and the Clerks Association
feels sangulne that this early-closing
movement will be permanent success.
Tire present agreement was brought
about by the efforts Of the Retail Clerks
Association. whose committee has nade
the following report:
The committee OF dry goods statesmen
appointed BY the Retail Clerks Ass0cia-
ton called upon the following merchants
with a view OF having them close their
places OF business every night, excepting
Saturdays. at $50 o'clock on and after the
LIST day of June: Provin & Mexican, o.
w Peterson * Bro. j. Beaver. Nordhon
q Co. Fraser a Wilson. Most of the above
firms have been keeping their stores open
until and o'clock every evening, de-
prfvfng employer and employe OF any rec
reation. The committee Is pleased to in
form the public that. instead Of finding op-
position 10 their movement they found
that the merchants had been agitattng tbs
question among themselves, and were
more than willing 10 acquiesce.
I'VE feel certain that the efforts of the
retail clerks in this direction viii be fully
appreciated by the ladies Of Seattle. who
cannot but sympathize with the many
young ladies who are obliged 10 earn their
living by working behind the counter from
twelve 10 thirteen hours a day. As the CO.
operation OF the public is always necessary
10 the success OF any movement, We re-
spectfully ask the assistance of all the
ladies who have been in the habit OF doing
any shopping with the above houses in the
evening to fall In line and do their shop
ping In the early part of the day.
