but got such air and light as they had
through a well that was let into the
wall on one side and was called an air
shaft.
My earliest recollection is that of
two dim rooms. with no carpet on the
floor and nothing but plaster on the
wall except in places where II had
fallen down. There was no attempt at
doing any of the thousand little things
that more fortunate people do TO make
their homes cheerful. Ny father was
a longshoreman, who came home only
to eat and sleep-at least / never saw
him do anything else. And my mother
went out to wash in the day time, ana
in the evening she, too, did nothing eX-
cept sleep.
So there was not even a picture from
an illustra ted paper on the dirty walls,
and as the small room that contained
the bed was quite dark, the only room
that the family could sit in was the
one that served as kitchen and every
thing else.

different, for the only homes that I
saw were others in the tenement
houses all around us, and they were
all like ours. You must know that we
lived i'm the very worst district. where
the tenement houses were known as
"rookeries."
/ would never have known how mis-
cradle and ugly the home was. any
more than my father knew. If It had
not been for the fact that the law
compelled my parents to send me to
school. And there, when / saw the
neat bright class rooms, with colored
pictures on the clean walls and with
flowers on the teachers desk, learned
i'm one day that there was something
better in the world, although / did not
dream that / could ever expect to live
in such clean places and have pretty
things.
That first day in school was the
first time, too. that had ever seen a
flower, except at a funeral, and ! had
never imagined that they could be
used for anything except to put on a
coffin.
With my school life began the queer
life that many tens Of thousands OF
boys and girls in big cities lead From
nine in the morning TIL three in the
afternoon we passed the time in pretty
surroundings. under refined women,
The Savannah morning news., 1904-07-17

learning the beautiful things Of the
world and reading what great men
had put down; and when the big doors
of the school buildings closed behind
us we went back to the filthy streets
and the sad, miserable life of the ten
ement houses.
Children who have never lived in
such places cannot imagine how
gloomy such a life is. Tenement-house
children would not even know what it
is to smell really pure air IL II were
not for their school hours. In the tene-
ments the halls and air shafts are filled
with the smells of washing, cooking
and garbage; for each family keeps the
garbage in the close rooms till IL Is
high time to carry II down to the street
for the ash carts to collect. Then, too,
there is a store under nearly every
tenement house. where groceries, fish,
meats or other provisions are huddled
together in a small. unventilated space.
And all these odors combine to make
the smells OF the tenement-hous dis
trict, so that children who are horn
there never draw a really good breath
into their lungs.
I had not been going to school more
than year when my father was killed
the way tenement house dwellers are
killed every summer. To escape the
heat Of the windowless bedroom, he
The Savannah morning news., 1904-07-17

had climbed to the roof of the tall
house and had stretched himself out
there to sleep. There were so many
other men, and women, too, sleeping
there that he had to lie near the edge
of the roof, and some time during the
night he rolled over it and was killed
instantly.
My mother, being left alone, could
not earn enough TO pay the rent OF
even the poor rooms we had, so / had
TO help her. although / was only nine
years old at the time. / did not leave
school, but as soon as II was over
hurried to the newspaper offices and
stood in line with hundreds OF other
boys waiting for the afternoon pa
pers. Selling newspapers is really the
only work that is open in the big
cities to small fellows such as we were
and many hundreds of us earned
money at it, some OF the boys sup
porting themselves entirely by the
profits.
Now. although I had seen and heard
a great deal in the streets OF our ten
ement district that was strange for
child to hear, found a still more be-
wlldering life among the newsboys.

Arbitration.
Senate's Reluctance to Act on
Such Matters Alone flinders
Formal Proposition.

Washington. Feb. 24.-The state
department confirms the report from
Paris that the president has been con-
sdering the possibility of arranging
a treaty with France providing for the
settlement of any future dispute be-
tween the two countries by resort to
arbitration.
1t Is further stated that similar
propositions have been made to this
government by the diplomatic
representatives of Great Britain, Italy
and Holland.
Altho earnestly favoring the princi-
pie Of arbitration, President Roosevelt
Is indisposed to submit an arbitration
treaty to the senate until he Is as
sured of it's approval The rejection
OF treaties by the senate or, almost as
bad, its failure to act upon them, al
ways leaves q feeling of irritation In
the other party to the treaty, which
regards itself as snubbed.
SO, having lost one arbitration
treaty with Great Britain thru the
senate's nonaction the administra-
ton Is loathe to submit others In the
same line until 1t Is assured that there
has been a change of sentiment
among the senators, sufficient to war
rant the belief that the treaty can be
ratified.
1t is said that so far such assur-
ances are lacking, so that while the
arbitration propositions have been
kept in mind at the state department
formal negotiations have not been
initiated.

Special to The Journal.

Sioux City, Feb. IA party of Of
f1cials of the Great Northern railroad
is expected in Sioux City tomorrow
afternoon. for the purpose of opening
negotiations with General Manager 3.
Josselyn of the Union Terminal COM
pany for a renewal of the lease which
expires next Monday.
1t is understood here that the Great
Northern delayed comforting with the
Terminal company until after the fed
eral supreme court convened. In the
the hope that the Terminal question
might be solved in the light Of the de-
cisiOn, not word has been said at
this late hour to the Terminal COM
pany, 80 it Is not known whether the
Great Northern will ask temporary
lease for a long time, an exclusive
lease, or a sale.
The matter of terminals is important
because Of the expected connection to
the southwest with the Burlington.
1t Is now evident that the numerous
reports circulated here six weeks ago
that the Great Northern would build
an independent bridge here or would
construct its own yards were set afloat
merely to brighten the Terminal COM
pany. If such was the purpose it was
not successful, as the Terminal COM
pany has not altered it's intention to
demand a largely increased rental for
the use Of the properties and requires
the Great Northern to do it's own
switching.
