To the Wichita Daily Eagle:
l want to inform the public that I re-
turned home last Thursday evening. L
did not run off, as was reported in the
Eagle some time ago. / am sorry my
Wichita friends would form such a poor
opinion OF me as to think 1 would leave
my good home and dear parents, that is
the dearest to me on earth, and be a
tramp and bum around. 1 would not be
guilty Of such a deed. I am not lazy
enough to be a tramp. 1 think it is more
70 an honor for a boy of ii years 10
work for his board If he can ger nothing
more, than TO bum around and do moth
ing.
left home on Monday to pick grapes.
The man l was to work for was not
ready to pick grapes until on Thursday.
so rather than to be idle the four days L
went TO work in hay field. Since then
l have been picking grapes. / think l
will return to Mulvane Monday and re-
sumo my work until school commences.
1 picked grapes for four weeks last
Thursday. l knew mama would worry
so about me, so l walked ten miles to
take the train to come and see her. 1
was SO fortunate as to meet two good
friends on the train. They brought me
home without spending any of my
wages. / was so situated that I could
neither come nor write home any SOON

BABYs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Sorofuia Sores.
Sat the age Of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out ON his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
pIications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Ssrsaparilla. / also took Hoods
6arsaparilIa, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well aud have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofuIous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. Ny boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." Mrs. S. S. WRoTEN, Farming
