JUST SHOPPING,

The shades of night were falling fast
AS through a bargain store there passed
A maid, who'd fingered till the last,
Just shopping.
Her mien was sad, her face looked worn
Her hat was crushed, her dress was torn.
She'd jostled there since early morn,
Just shopping.
"Oh, stay" the salesgirl said, and see
This lovely silk at forty-three
yard" She answered, None for me,
I'm shopping"
Mount not the stairs" foorwalkers said,
THE elevators just ahead;
But up she crawled with tagging tread,
Just shopping
At six o'clock, as homeward went
The sa2<swomen, on pleasure bent,
They left her there by accident,
Still shopping
A Waterman making, late, his round
Was scared by an unwonted sound;
On the third floor the maid he found,
Just shopping.
There, in the twilight cold and gray,
Sauntered the maid, who'd shopped al
day,
And nothing bought to take away
Still shopping.

Rollin S. Childs was the sixth son Of
Major A. b. Childs, a Wilmington mer-
chant nearly half a century, the county
sheriff and postmaster "a years, from
Jackson to Lincoln. That his ia ther was
a sterling Democrat was shown in an
attempt to depose him when the Doug
las and Breckenridge wings of the party
sought the mastery in 1860. Paul Dill
bingham, the Senator's father, of Wat
erbury, Col. Stephen Thomas of West
Fairlee and Henry f. Stoughton of Bel
lows Falls were the Breckenridge lead
ers in Vermont in that campaign and
they wrote to Major Childs that he must
come out for the Charleston Democrat
ic) candidate or suffer official decapi-
tation. The headsmen received this curt
reply, with lock of the postmaster
hair: MY politics and my religion are
my own. The office is at your disposal"
Major Childs continued as postmaster
until after Lincolns inauguration
After attending the public schools of
Wilmington Mr. Childs left home while a
young man, becoming clerk in the Brat
tleboro post Office under George B. and
Daniel Kellogg's administrations, and
was a registering officer in James City
County, Virginia, during the reconstruc-
ton period He has since been repre-
sentative of the New York Life Insur-
ance company and associated with his
brothers for 80 years, being a member
of the Eastern $4,000 club continu-
ously since it's organization in 1899, and
