by Mr.. Brace, agent of the New YORK
children's aid society, ran away from
their respective homes last week and
struck out for the east. This makes

have failed to stay put. The expert
ment of transplanting New York gamins
to Kansas soil has not, in this instance
proved distinguished success.

be hitched on back streets. Valuable
articles have been stolen out of wagons
and buggies even on Commercial street
BOYS who are not inflamed with the un
natural ambition To be angels or Grip
Piles, are reminded that there is no sure
method of becoming one or the other

ers OF, the city marshall were taking thi
matter in hand. We always have GU
eye peeled for items of news, but if ther
