NO PLANS FORMULATED.
Welcome Mission to Be Conducted as
Formerly.

No plan for soliciting contributions
for the Welcome Mission has yet been
formulated, owing to the illness in the
family of A. A. Mclaughlin, treas
urer of the mission, who has the work
in charge. The executive board will
probably meet this week and take some
definite action. 1t seems to be the
desire of the people Of Worcester TO
see the mission prosper, and from the
attendance and enthusiasm shown at
the annual meeting held some time
ago, the TREASURER thinks that there
will be little d., ulty in obtaining
enough contribute. as to carry on the
work on the same lines as formerly.

1t seems as though the 10-months'
sentence that was imposed upon the
tramps by Judge Andrews about a
month or more ago, had rid Augusta
of them for good and all. as not man
has been before the court on the charge
since that time, and the officers have
had no complaints of any vagrancy.
The tribe probably heard Of the law
that was being enforced in Augusta,
and decided to stay away. They per-
haps heard that Judge Andrews made
the statement that they We're the big
gest nuisance with which he had to
contend. "They keep the people in the
country in hot water all the time" re-
marked the judge. There is a con-
slant fear among the women of the
tramps who call and demand food, and
the farmers themselves are constantly
dreading an encounter with one of
them that is likely to take place any
morning when he goes for the first
time into his barn"

Next to a Cuban bone-yard, or a rag
pickers storehouse. there is nothing 50
melancholy as the heap of old iron in
the yard of one of our local junk shops.
Here are collected all the broken and
useless implements. the passed tools of
great industries. There is an old cook
stove that for years was the humble
servant of some goodly peaceful family,
and over yonder is the teakettle that
steamed merrily through family
parties, love-making and quarreling.
The broken sewing machine that made
the family clothes, and the old iron
boot jack that the master threw at the
cat when supper was not ready, all
piled in a melancholy heap of rubbish
Here the law of reincarnation holds
good. The cook stove that never
moved from the chimney in this life
may in it's next be car wheel that will
carry lords and ladies' from Bar Harbor
to Mexico, or may be made up into iron
horses for children to play with.
