1t would soon be a year since the
haby's death-a year that had been desc

there had been Tom in it. the baby s
father. and he had been everything which
a young father bereaved should be until
one er-to-be-forgotten evening in May.
They were sitting on the veranda,
Helen talking of the May a year back
when life had held something worth
while" Tom was not responsive as usual,
and he shifted about uneasily. Once he
called to a neighbor, Joking over the
growing of some roses, and at last stroll
ing over to view them at close range.
When he returned his step was jaunty;
hilariously he whstled catchy ragtime.
Tom" she cried. as he sat down,
have you forgotten-only two weeks
away"
Behind the screens of vines he drew
her to him swiftly. II haven't forgot

today heaps. We've got to cut out this
constant remembering, Helen: It's bad
business. We've had loss. but it might

Thinking of what might have been

When he endeavored to show her how
mistaken they had been in hugging sor-
row close. she held herself coldly aloof
and went inside abruptly. Discord had
slipped in its first wedge in domestic
serenity.

Alexander H. Stephens. vice president
of the Confederacy, and himself a

Mr. Stephens is member of fam

tury and more in the public life of
Georgia. He came to Atlanta to prac-
tice law some seventeen years ago,
from Washington, Ga, his boyhood
home. His father was John Alex

merchant whose name is known every
where in connection with noted kind
of cotton which he developed. Ths
Wingfeld family, of which there are
numbers of descendants in Georgia
has also played notable part in the
states history.

CONGRESSMAN PARK
IN THE LIMEUGHT

Atlanta, June 3.-Georgians and the
people of other Southern states as
well are watching the progress of a
measure introduced by Congressman
Frank Park of the End Georgia dis
trict, providing for refund of the
amount paid to the U. S. government
for the cotton tax which was illegally
levied after the war, and for the use
of the refunded money in pensioning
Confederate soldiers and widows of
soldiers.
Congressman Park, the author of the
bill, has the endorsement of other
Southern leaders. The measure pro-
vides for a continuing appropriation
og $5,O00,O0O for fifteen years, the
amount of the cotton tax levied upon
the cotton growing states after the
civil war. The proposal is that the
amounts refunded be distributed
among the states in proportion to the
respective amounts illegally levied
upon those states.
If Congressman Park succeeds in
getting congress to recognize the JUS
tice of his claims for the South he will
win the lasting gratitude of a section,
and will right wrong which has oc =
cupied the attention of many notable
Southern representative at Wash
ington.
