Caused Moline Boys to Run
AWay-Want Ice Cream.

Chicago go.-Mashed potatoes, served
on the family table morning and noon
and night, became so odious to James
Smith and Gilbert Lancaster. two 10
yearol Moline lads, that they ran
away from home and came to Chicago
to obtain q change of diet The other
night they landed in cell in the Har-
rison street annex, after being picked
up in the streets penniless and
anxious TO return home.
I'VE were treated we'll at home"
the lads told Desk Sergeant Conroy,
"but every meal we had to eat mashed
potatoes, and we both got so we could
not eat them any more We saved
our money until we had $40, and we
sneaked away from school and came
to Chicago
The first meal we bought cost us
so cents apiece and you bet we did
not eat any mashed potatoes, or fried
potatoes either We only ate one good
meal 3 day, and the rest of the time
we lived on ice cream soda.
Most of the money we srent seeing
the nickel shows, and some of them
were fine We did not sleep in a ho-
tel. but found big box near the rail
road track beside the river some
where and we stayed here. Now we
haven't any money, and guess we had
better go back to school but maybe
now they won't have potatoes so
often"
