Selling Coffins on the Installment
Plan,

Dawson, Ga.-This is the day OF
ENTERPRISE and business push, and con-
stantly some new line OF endeayor to
coax the coy and timid ducat from
its hiding place is sprung on the pub
lie. But it has remained for the rep
resentative of some foreign concern
who is now working the county to
leap the climax" in that respect.
According to report this fellow IS
canvassing among negroes and selling
them coffins on the installment plan
"a payment when the order is given
and the remainder at intervals until
the box is paid for. The argument
used is that, as the coffin is to be
occupied by the purchaser when he
enters upon the eternal sleep, he is
entitled to have one to suit his own
idea, and the only way to do it is to
select it while alive and put it away
until it is needed.
1t is said that he has taken num-
Der of orders, and if he is not fa-
kir coffin will soon be part of the
furniture in many negro households.

Jobs For Er-SOldierS

[From Philadelphia Public Ledger. ]
The question raised by the release
of the soldier from military service
to civilian occupation are not new.
They have been raised at the end of
every war in which the United
States has been engaged.
Finding a job for the demobilized,
keeping the wounded from becom-
ing "hospitalized," helping the man
newly from the front, back to a self
respecting status of industrial inde-
pendence, these big and burning
issues that confront us in the pres
ent hour engaged the attention of
the public-spirited folk who at the
close of the Civil War were doing
for the returning warriors just what
we are trying to do to-day. The
words that follow were written at
Washington May 6, 1865. They might
have been written yesterday.
"Now that the excitement of ac-
tual war is over, people are turning
their attention to the question of
how best to provide permanently
for those soldiers who have been
disabled in the service.
There is a feeling in the COM
munity that too much cannot, by
any possibility, be done for the men
who have become disabled in the
war; that do all we may for their
comfort, we shall never half repay
them for the sacrifices they have
made or half balance our debt of
personal gratitude.
"All this is true, provided what we
do for them is done in the right way.
But on the other hand, if we
make these soldiers the recipients of
an indiscriminate charity; if we
seize upon them as the objects upon
which we may work off this nervous
philanthropic eXcitability and count
the benefit rendered by the number
we get into asylums. where thev
can live without care or labor on
their part, then we shall do more
harm than good
TO keep ten men who naturally.
almost necessarily, drift that wav
out of an asylum of ease and com
fort. by teaching them how to use
for self-support what muscle thev
have left. is n far better work than
to provide. year by year, food and
shelter and liberal care for ten other
men equally disabled.
Yet this is just the point which
the community in its generous earn
estness Is in danger of overlooking.
I'VE want to lose sight entirely of
the questions of whether marble
towers look better than pine bar
racks. while we keep our eve on the
larger thought of how we can hest
and soonest restore these disabled
men. so far as is possible. TO their
homes and into working commun-
tiles"

A SILVER THREAD

[By l.. HI
Across a tapestry that Fate wove ill
Years ago,
A shining silver thread is running
still,
To and fro,
AS up and down the pictures April
hill
Shadows go.
And in my heart 1t makes for me
a road,
Night and day,
That leads me to q half-seen far
abode
Green and gay,
Past, starry hedges laughing at my
load
All the way.
know not If the road will last
the years
Falling fast,
Or II the pitfalls and the raining
tears
Win at last;
There may be some new sunshine
for my fears
God will cast.
But up and down the wall the sill
yer shows
Stubbornly;
Now bright and strong-now dead
now, living flows
Wide and free
Toward nightfall for my homing
soul that goes
Out to sea.
