Negro Mother Shows
 Spartan Courage

Another page has been written in the history of the life of George Price, negro boy. This time the last touch is added by Georges mother.
 According to Detective GoIdstein arrested at the office of the Na- tionaI Hide and Wool company. For a time George was comfort ably seated in the office of the de- tectives--thc s.consuItation" room. While detectives were in another part of the office George looked out of the window into the street. He saw the moving street cars, the automobiles, the people who were at liberty to go anywhere they pleased. George probably had visions. too, of the free life.
 He turned his eyes toward the "cxitH of the detective office. De- tectfves were busiIy engaged dO- ing something more important than watching George.
 George looked again. He quiet Iy walked out of the office. Then he, ran. He was missed soon by detectives. but he had disappeared as completely as the rabbit in the ingenious box.
 Like the prOdigal son, George returned to his home at Sayre- ton. He went to he'd early. His mother, Maggie Price. heard that her son had escaped from the of ficers.
 The mother asked the son about escaping. George at first denied it.
 "But will not disturb you now. Go to sleep and in the morning we will go back to the detectives., said Maggie Price to her offspring.
 Yesterday Maggie Price walked into the office of Chief Shirley with her son.
 "Here is George, bOss,' said the woman. "I have tried to raise my children right, and for that req son | am turning him back over to yOu."
 George is in jail on a charge of .'larccny of brass"
