SALVATION ARMY pAwnsHop.
New Entsrpriss for the Bsssnt Of the
Improvideut Poor.

New Entsrpriss for the Bs.snt Of shs
Improvident Poor.
From the Boston Herald: The Sal
vation Army is going into the business
of selling second hand furniture and
lending money. 1t has opened small
store at the corner of Dover street and
Harrison avenue, which is to be de-
voted entirely to. the buying and sell
ing OF secondhand furniture and
money lending in small way. A fact
in great evidence throughout the south
end is that the poor suffer much at
the hands of unscrupulous usurers.
The father of a family, who has the
drinking habit to a definite extent,
often goes on a prolonged spree, and
during these times 1t is no exaggera-
ton to say that the little home is
often bereft Of any article of furniture
which has a money value. Every
thing is changed into rum. OF course
a man under the influence of liquor Ia
in no condition to bargain and the
willy pawnbroker secures the articles
for about one-tenth of their value.
The usurer will buy anything. and
If the seller wishes to buy his goods
back he Is charged exorbitant prices.
Certain types of sociologists will argue,
no doubt, that If the drunkard knows
he can pawn his furniture and, under
the new system of the Salvation Army
advocates, get 1t back again at almost
the same price as paid him, 1t may
tend to encourage drunkenness. In
reply to this, however, the Salvation
Army people say that such. would not
be the case. OF course "incorrigf-
bles" will be found and they will bs
weeded out from among those who
have some good in their hearts. The
wife and children of the drunkard will,
in as many cases as possible, be taken
care of by the Salvation Army. Shell
ter will be given to them If their land
lord turns them out for non-payment
of rent, and their furniture will be
kept intact until the husband reforms
There will be no attempt on the part
of the Salvation Army to make large
profits. A low rate of interest will
equitable arrangements will be made
in relation to the furniture. The store
is in an unpretentious building. There
is no attempt at decoration. The let
tering on the windows is almost un-
noticeable. When business gets bet
ter other and more commodious quar-
ters will be secured. The store Is
pretty we'll stocked with goods now. In
every case the names Of those doing
business with the establishment will
be kept secret.

From the Washington Post: When
one of the distinguished brigadier-
generals of the regular army was the
colonel Of an infantry regiment, sta
toned at far western post, he was
known as deep, steady drinker.
Drink never showed on him, but It
was pretty well known throughout his
command that he was, to employ the
army phrase, "corned up" Just about
all the time. One OF the first SER
geants of this colonel's regiment was
notable in the outfit as 4 corkins fine
soldier and tip top non-commissioned
ofhcer, but he had one fault. He was
bound to accumulate huge, whoop-

be "broke"-"busted" to the ranks
that is-a number OF times for this
reason. He was generally made a top
sergeant again, after a month or so
as an unchevroned buck soldier, for
he was almost an invaluable man in
the top soldiers billet. On one Of the
occasions when this first sergeant re-
| turned 70 mis- quarters after q two day
whirl in the town adjoining the post
he had been absent without leave
for twenty-four hours-the colonel
and post commanding officer visited
the locked-up derelict at the guard
house. Look here, my man." said
the colonel, remonstratively, why in
the devil do you engage in this kind
Of funny business? You're too good
man to ruin yourself In this way
You're the best first sergeant I've got
in my command. and here you've gone
and acted 80 again that I've got to
break you. Why don't you quit 1t?
Why will you persist in getting drunk
every day? Why don't you drink like

the top sergeant with a grin, "if I did
I'd be dead in a week" The "old
