The Wichita daily eagle., 1895-07-03
He WAS No MERE BABY.
Richmond Benn, the Eagles Valued Friend
Turns His Back Upon this Paper.


Richmond Benn did not like his inter
view in this paper. There is nothing
unusual in the politician kicking about
the newspaper report OF his interview,
especially when it fails to touch the
great public heart, but who would have
ever thought that the four summers
that have passed over Richmond
Benn's head would have taught him to
catch onto the ways of the wiley poll
tician.
The Eagle published true interview
with the wonderful 4-year-old Wichita
boy, and incidentally remarked that he
was a mere baby, and therein was all
the trouble.
The next morning Richmond Benn
picked up the Eagle and he read every
word and line of that interview. His
parents pretended not to notice him, but
they were watching his expression as he
neared the close There was scowl on
his face and when he finished. he threw
the paper on the floor, and turned his
back upon il.
What is the matter. Richmond,
dear?" said the fond mother.
ct have read that piece in the Eagle
about me-" said the little man with the
lowering expression still overshadow-
ing his childish face.
''Why, my dear boy. that is all right,
and people will love you when they read
that
Yes. that is all right" said he in
dignantly. turning half toward his
mother: "but am no mere baby" And
that was where the Eagle made a mis-
take. Richmond Benn is little man.
