years outing, and is intended to
make their thirteenth convention dis
tinctive. AS far as is known nobody
has ever planted chestnut tree for
the benefit of the whole world before.
But the humorists decided it was
high time something we're done, what
with the visible supply of squirrel
food becoming so depleted. The ex-
position landscape gardeners, John
McLaren, the famous builder of
Golden Gate Park, and his son,
Donald McLaren, have reserved
fine young tree for the planting. The
site chosen is at The Press Building.
But this is only temporary. The tree
is to become gift to San Francisco
for permanent place in one Of its
magnificent parks, where it can grow
uninterruptedly and perpetuate
liberal harvest of chestnuts = both
kinds.

CHICAGO, July H4.--Peter Gum.
II, and Clara Parsons, IA, returned
to the humdrum and ordinary today.
Since June 81, Peter and Clara have
been conducting back to the cave
movement, in an Eden of their own
making. ~
Peter and Clara are both orphans.
They were sweethearts at grammar
school last winter. They wanted to
marry, but were afraid to tell their
foster parents about their desire.
Therefore, when Mrs. Elizabeth Nc
Oregon gave Clara S. to buy a dress
on June 81. Clara ran to Peter, and
suggested 1t was a sufficient stake
to set out in the world for them
selves, provided they chose simple
course.
The boy left his place at a neigh
borhood grocery and the two went to
make themselves a home in a stretch
of dense woods near La Grange.
There they lived, the boy making ex-
cursions to nearby campers tents to
buy or beg food. The girl picked ber-
ries. Sometimes Peter had luck and
caught fish in a nearby river.
The girl was completely happy. 1t
was the boys longing for one back
ward look at civilization that led to
their discovery. A boy friend saw
Peter and followed him. He told the
police. Last night Chief of Detec-
tiyes Nolan and Bradley pushed their
way through the underbrush and
found Peter and Clara, wrapped in a
single blanket, asleep under a shell
ter made of a raipcoat and sticks,
matched with leaves and earth.
1--WE didn't want to come back"
said the girl today. 1--WE were so
happy. But now I guess we can get
married"
The children will be taken before
juvenile Judge.

all the time.
During the blow Monday morning.
four sections of awning were torn to

about the fastest run made by any
boat on the Mississippi except high

good will Of the farmers toward this
