TURNED OUT
TO STARVE

Tuesday a little boy about thirteen
years old came trudging into town.
His feet were wet aud swollen. His
face was tear stained and dirty. He
had walked many miles from the
place he had called home; the. house
of his step-father, a man by the name
of Congrove. He was pitiful little
spectacle, and his childish heart was
broken because his own mother had
gruffiV yelled at him, to clear out and
that there was nothing for him to
eat at that place. Wouldn't that
break a growing boys heart; a boy
who had been born and brought up
among the people of the west espec-
tally?
According to the little fellows
story he did not attend school the
first two months Of this term, at all,
but worked. When he started to
school, he could ride on days when
his sister went to school. Monday,
both brother and sister went to school.
Tuesday sister didn't want to go to
school, so Clarence was told to get
move on and hoof 1t to school, lie
demurred against the long walk
through the snow, and al that time
he was told to clear out, and moth
ing more TO eat at this place"
He cleared!
! He walked to town The County
found him and took him in charge
The last we saw Of him he was tryinl
to work arithmetic problems and or!
at the same time, in the Office OF th'
County Superintendent.
When asked which he would rathe
do: "Go back home or go to the re
form school?" He said he woulC
rather 20 to the reform school, be
cause he would get a beating II b
went back. 1t has not been decides
vet what will be done with the littl
lad. Perhaps his story is exagerate
by self sympathy.

MIGHT INCONVENIENCE

The head OF the post Office depart
ment has sent out letters to all OF
the carriers @hO have 70 drive over
country roads, asking them q set OF
questions. These questions are in re-
gard to the roads oyer which the car
rlers are compelled to travel. This
question was discussed at Wichita
week before last, at the Post Masters
Convention and we believe the gov
ernment means to see that some of
the terrible roads over which mail
has to be drawn, are fixed or they will
stop hauling mail over that route.
The three miles south on Kansas
Avenue and three. quarter east on the
state line is again in bad shape, but
IL the big drag was put on now before
1t dries up so much, 1t would be fine,
and with much less work than II 1t Is

hundred dollars worth of work done
upon 1t.
