Minneapolis. Sept. 15.-The popula-
one today when 'sMr" Clyde Mccain,
10 years of age, reported to the police
that he had travelled many miles on a
bicycle to become Citizen"
my name is Mr.. McClain," he said
upon being introduced to Capt. Michael
Mealey.
We'll, what can I do for you, sir?"
replied the captain.
I'm going to make this city my
home in the future. I want a position.
1t doesn't make any difference what it
is as long as I can earn my board and
put away a little money. Some day
want to vote here and help make laws"
he said with the air of a person many
years his senior.
Behind the mask of nonchalance
which the youngster exhibited lies
tale of sorrow and heartless cruelty.
The McClain boy was left parentless
two years ago by the death of his
father. He had no other relative, so
Went to work for farmer several
miles from the town of Grand River,
Iowa, where theilad was born.
He helped to pillow and do the nu-
merous chores about the farm for his
board and lodging to the best of his
ability.
| A week ago the farmer told him to
leave, giving as his excuse that the boy
was not as valuable about the farm as
man. The boy pleaded that he was
without funds, but that made no diff
ference to his employer.
The only thing his father had left
when he died was a bicycle. The lad
mounted the vehicle and commenced
his journey to Minneapolis. He begged
food from farmers along his route,
sleeping at night by convenient hay
stack.
His little legs Soon tired propelling
the bicycle 50 upon rea ching a town
in northern Iowa. he sold it for S. and
rode the remaining distance to Mime
apolis on freight train. Several
times he was forced to give brakemen
a tip in addition to paying for food
and last night when he arrived he had
but 30 cents in his pocket.
He went to a lodging house and after
paying for his bed he was without a
cent. The lad was not disheartened
but got up bright and early TO look for
work. His quest of a job landed him
near the police station and happy
idea struck him. He entered head
qua rters.
Il don't want to beg meal from
the police" he told Captain Mealey
Anything you give me 1 am willing
to pay for just as soon as 1 can get {
position"
The youth was turned over to thu
police matron. who saw that he was
, given a substantial dinner
Gee. but this pie does taste good

News Letter From vinton.
Times Republican.

Special to Republican.
Ninton. Sept 15-The constant in
crease in the value of Benton county
land is shown by the purchase last
Week by the Iowa Canning Company
of the c. P. Booth quarter section OF
land, two and one-half miles south
west of town, for the sum of $3.50 per
acre. This is the good farm but no
better than the average of land in this
county. The canning company finds il
necessary to own a large amount of
land for the reason that they can not
contract with enough farmers to supply
the demand for the seasons pack. Ten
years ago when few persons paid s75
per acre for land it was thought they
were reckless and would be great
losers, but now the 5000 mark is not
far distant for good land in this county
1t is expected that a number of peo-
pie from here will attend the harvest
home picnic to be held at Spencer
grove next Saturday. This is an an
nual event and grows in interest each
year. Hon. Cato Sells, formerly of this
place, is the orator Of the day and a
good speech is assured Mr.. Sells is
now engaged in the banking business
in Clebourne, Tex, but comes to Vim
ton about twice year on business and
pleasure.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Considerable
strength developed in the wheat mar
ket here today following weak tone at
the start, distant deliveries displaying
especial firmness. The September OPP
ton was neglected and showed little
tendency to follow the upturn. The
