He stopped over and gently picked
Jimmy up. Jimmy made no protest
whatever. Farmer Browns Boy sat
down on the doorstep, holding Jimmy
in his arms. Then he took hold of that

You are not going to break that jar

she. If you are going to try anything
like that. you'd better take him away

Brown: Boy opened the piece of burlap
and there was Jimmy Skunk free. He
looked up at Farmer Browns Boy in

say, Thank you" Then Farmer
Browns Boy put him down. What do

straight into the house and began to

Body Of 2-Year-Old Child
Found Near Little Falls
Believed Slain, Morrison County
Sheriff Says-NO Children Re
ported Missing

Little Falls, Sept, 22-Morrison
county authorities are investigating
the death of a baby boy, apparent
ly about two years old, whose body
was recovered late Thursday from
the Crow Wing river, two miles
south of Motely.
No Identification was made of the
body, which was brought today to
the office of DR.. E. Il. Fortier,
county coroner, who Immediately
called an inquest. The body was
discovered by youth who ventur-
ed into clump of reeds in the
river after a duck he had shot.
No report of a missing child had
been made in the district and the
theory was advanced that he pos
sibly had been member of party
of tourists or other travellers.
Identification by means of the
clothing was said to be impossible,
as the body was believed to have
been in the water for two weeks.
No marks of violence were found,
although only small part of the
skull remained.
Sheriff Paul Felix was placed in
charge of the investigation to de-
termine the circumstances under
which the body was found and
those surrounding the child's death.

Days on Road

Fourteen-year-old Cyril Spears
for the time at Vaeje, CAL, 80 miles
north of San Francisco, had a de-
sire to return to old Sauk Centre.
He had a burning ambition but
was very short Of ready cash. He
started out on the pavement north
and after short way out of the
city he was picked up by passing
traveller in an automobile.
This man proved to be a real Sa-
maritan, as he carried Cyril a long
way on his homeward journey. The
lad made the trip from Vallejo to
Fargo, N. D., in less than eight
days and rode in only three cars.
After losing one driver he was for
tunate enough TO pick another
when only a short distance out of
town.
Cyril arrived in Sauk Centre on
the early Sunday morning Great
Northern train. Monday he was
taken to Hutchinson by his broth
er, ]. ". Lanphear, and has enrolled
as a student in the Public Schools.
